2013-09-13erts: Fix loading of NIF library with unicode in pathSverker Eriksson
2013-08-28erts: Remove unused constant DRIVER_TAB_SIZESverker Eriksson
2013-08-21erts: Add support for static linked-in driversLukas Larsson
None of the OTP linked-in driver are supported
2013-08-21erts: Add option to include nifs staticallyLukas Larsson
Both crypto and asn1 are supported.
2013-07-11erts: Add cflags, ldflags and config.h into executableLukas Larsson
2013-02-14Remove surplus echosLukas Larsson
2013-02-13Include git sha in prompt if availableLukas Larsson
The sha will only be included if there is no tag starting with OTP_R* associated with the sha. This is because we do not want the sha to show on offical releases.

2012-10-22beam_makeops: Turn on warnings and eliminate existing warningsBjörn Gustavsson
2012-10-15beam_makeops: Eliminate a deprecation warningBjörn Gustavsson
Perl 5.16.1 (and perhaps other versions) issues the following warning: defined(@array) is deprecated at utils/beam_makeops line 1714. (Maybe you should just omit the defined()?) for the following line: $prev_last = pop(@{$gen_transform{$key}}) if defined @{$gen_transform{$key}}; # LINE 1714 The documentation for "defined" says that its use on hashes and arrays is deprecated and that it may stop working in a future release. Simply removing "defined" (as suggested by the warning message) will not work, as there will be an error when trying to use an undefined value as an array reference: Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference at utils/beam_makeops line 1714. What we must do is to check whether $gen_transform{$key} is defined before trying to use it as an array reference. Noticed-by: Tuncer Ayaz

* maint: make_preload: Don't fail if Perl's default file encoding is UTF-8
2012-08-27make_preload: Don't fail if Perl's default file encoding is UTF-8Björn Gustavsson
Setting Perl's default encoding for files to UTF-8, for example like this: PERL_UNICODE=DS make would crash the build with a message similar to: form size 1413 greater than size 1237 of module at utils/make_preload line 175, <FILE> chunk 1. Tell Perl to interpret the data in BEAM files as binary by using the binmode() function. The binmode() function existed before Unicode support was added to Perl, which means that make_preload should work even in old versions of Perl. Noticed-by: Aaron Harnly
2012-06-25Don't go to single-scheduler mode when managing breakpointsBjörn Gustavsson
Calls to erlang:set_trace_pattern/3 will no longer block all other schedulers. We will still go to single-scheduler mode when new code is loaded for a module that is traced, or when loading code when there is a default trace pattern set. That is not impossible to fix, but that requires much closer cooperation between tracing BIFs and the loader BIFs.

2011-12-02Build Win64 Erlang emulator using MSYSunknown
Still does not run, just compiles.
2011-10-26Change the calling convention for BIFsBjörn Gustavsson
The current calling convention for BIFs makes it necessary to handle each arity specially, since each argument for the BIF also becomes an argument for the C function implementing the BIF, which makes it hard to allow BIFs with any number of arguments. Change the calling convention for BIFs, so that BIF arguments are passed in an array to the C function implementing the BIF.
2011-10-13make_preload: Don't output a C comment start inside a commentBjörn Gustavsson
We already avoid outputting a comment terminator ("*/") inside a comment to avoid causing a syntax error. Also avoid outputting the start of a comment ("/*") to avoid causing a compiler warning. Noticed-by: Tuncer Ayaz
2011-10-11Print transformtions sorted on the name of the first instructionBjörn Gustavsson
2011-10-11Share code for call of predicate and transformation functionsBjörn Gustavsson
2011-10-11Introduce 'try_me_else_fail'Björn Gustavsson
2011-10-11Combine 'store_var' with 'next_arg'Björn Gustavsson
'store_var' is always followed by 'next_arg'.
2011-10-11Merge 'next_instr' and 'is_op' into 'next_instr'Björn Gustavsson
'next_instr' is always followed by 'is_op'.
2011-10-11Merge 'new_instr' and 'store_op' into 'new_instr'Björn Gustavsson
Since the 'new_instr' instruction always occurs before the 'store_op' instruction, we can merge the instructions into one. Also, there is no need to include the arity of the BEAM instruction as an operand, since the arity can be looked up based on the opcode.
2011-10-11Combine a 'call' instruction with the following 'end' instructionBjörn Gustavsson
A 'call' instruction in the loader transformation language is always followed by an 'end' instruction, so we can replace the 'call' instruction with a 'call_end' instruction.
2011-10-11Get rid of redundant 'try_me_else' and 'fail' instructionsBjörn Gustavsson
If the left part of a transformation will always match, omit the the 'try_me_else' and 'fail' instructions. As part of this optimization, make it an error to have a transformation that can never be reached because of a previous transformation that will always match. (Remove one transformation from ops.tab that was found to be unreachable.)
2011-10-11Add some more information in instruction commentsBjörn Gustavsson
2011-10-11In transformations, don't store variables that are never usedBjörn Gustavsson
This optimization will save some space (in the loader tables) and some loading time.
2011-10-11Remove redundant 'next_arg' before 'next_instr'Björn Gustavsson
Fix the incorrect code that attempted to remove a single 'next_arg' instructions before 'next_instr'.
2011-10-11Generalize and rename is_set_var_instr() to is_instr()Björn Gustavsson
It is more useful to have a helper function that can test for any instruction.

2011-08-03beam_load.c: Add overflow check of tag valuesBjörn Gustavsson
The handling of large values for other tags than TAG_i (integer) is buggy. Any tag value equal to or greater than 2^40 (5 bytes) will abort loading. Tag values fitting in 5 bytes will be truncated to 4 bytes values. Those bugs cause real problems because the bs_init2/6 and bs_init_bits/6 instructions unfortunately use TAG_u to encode literal sizes (using TAG_i would have been a better choice, but it is too late to change that now). Any binary size that cannot fit in an Uint should cause a system_limit exception at run-time, but instead the buggy handling will either cause an emulator crash (for values in the range 2^32 to 2^40-1) or abort loading. In this commit, implement overflow checking of tag values as a preparation for fixing the binary construction instructions. If any tag value cannot fit in an Uint (except for TAG_i), change the tag to the special TAG_o overflow tag.
2011-08-03beam_makeops: Add some sanity checksBjörn Gustavsson
We want to make sure that a tag/type name is not defined more than once and that we don't define too many primitive tags. Primitive tags must be named with lowercase letters (or they will be confused with variable names in transformations in the ops.tab file).

2011-01-17Support packing of the 'I' type in a 64-bit emulatorBjörn Gustavsson
In many (not all) cases, the value for the 'I' type will fit into 32 bits.
2011-01-17beam_makeops: Refactor packing code to facilitate extensionsBjörn Gustavsson
We don't want the packable types listed in two places.
2011-01-17BEAM loader: Pack more instructions using a new 'Q' typeBjörn Gustavsson
Introduce a new 'Q' type, similar to 'P' except that it can be packed.
2011-01-17If the wordsize is 64 bits, pack up to 4 operands into a wordBjörn Gustavsson
In the 32-bit BEAM emulator, it is only possible to pack 3 register operands into one word. Therefore, the move2 instruction (that has 4 operands) needs two words for its operands. Take advantage of the larger wordsize in the 64-bit emulator and pack up to 4 operands into a single word.
2011-01-17Pass the external word size to the beam_makeops scriptBjörn Gustavsson
Giving the beam_makeops script access to the external word size (=the size of instruction words) will allow it to pack more operands into a word for the 64 bits emulator.
2011-01-17BEAM loader: Combine is_type/1 and is_eq/1 instructionsBjörn Gustavsson
In the transformation engine in the loader, an is_eq/1 instruction is currently always preceded by an is_type/1 instruction. Therefore, save a word and slight amount of time by combining those instructions into an is_type_eq/2 instruction.
