* bjorn/fun-improvements/OTP-9667:
sys_pre_expand: Remove incorrect comment
compiler: Eliminate use of deprecated erlang:hash/2
beam_asm: Fix broken NewIndex in fun entries
beam_asm: Strenghten the calculation of Uniq for funs
|
|
Funs are identified by a triple, <Module,Uniq,Index>, where Module is
the module name, Uniq is a 27 bit hash value of some intermediate
representation of the code for the fun, and index is a small integer.
When a fun is loaded, the triple for the fun will be compared to
previously loaded funs. If all elements in the triple in the newly
loaded fun are the same, the newly loaded fun will replace the previous
fun. The idea is that if Uniq are the same, the code for the fun is also
the same.
The problem is that Uniq is only based on the intermediate representation
of the fun itself. If the fun calls local functions in the same module,
Uniq may remain the same even if the behavior of the fun has been changed.
See
http://erlang.org/pipermail/erlang-bugs/2007-June/000368.htlm
for an example.
As a long-term plan to fix this problem, the NewIndex and NewUniq
fields was added to each fun in the R8 release (where NewUniq is the
MD5 of the BEAM code for the module). Unfortunately, it turns
out that the compiler does not assign unique value to NewIndex (if it
isn't tested, it doesn't work), so we cannot use the
<Module,NewUniq,NewIndex> triple as identification.
It would be possible to use <Module,NewUniq,Index>, but that seems
ugly. Therefore, fix the problem by making Uniq more unique by
taking 27 bits from the MD5 for the BEAM code. That only requires
a change to the compiler.
Also update a test case for cover, which now fails because of the
stronger Uniq calculation. (The comment in test case about why the
Pid2 process survived is not correct.)

Currently, the external fun syntax "fun M:F/A" only supports
literals. That is, "fun lists:reverse/1" is allowed but not
"fun M:F/A".
In many real-life situations, some or all of M, F, A are
not known until run-time, and one is forced to either use
the undocumented erlang:make_fun/3 BIF or to use a
"tuple fun" (which is deprecated).
EEP-23 suggests that the parser (erl_parse) should immediately
transform "fun M:F/A" to "erlang:make_fun(M, F, A)". We have
not followed that approach in this implementation, because we
want the abstract code to mirror the source code as closely
as possible, and we also consider erlang:make_fun/3 to
be an implementation detail that we might want to remove in
the future.
Instead, we will change the abstract format for "fun M:F/A" (in a way
that is not backwards compatible), and while we are at it, we will
move the translation from "fun M:F/A" to "erlang:make_fun(M, F, A)"
from sys_pre_expand down to the v3_core pass. We will also update
the debugger and xref to use the new format.
We did consider making the abstract format backward compatible if
no variables were used in the fun, but decided against it. Keeping
it backward compatible would mean that there would be different
abstract formats for the no-variable and variable case, and tools
would have to handle both formats, probably forever.

A future release of the compiler might want to treat external
funs as literals. Make sure that the loader can cope with an
export entry being created from both an entry in the literal
pool and from the export table (i.e. if an external fun refers
to an exported function in the same module).
|

Make it clear for the user what has happened and how to fix it when
an attempt is made to load a BEAM file containing new instructions
that the current run-time system cannot handle.

* bjorn/unicode-noncharacters/OTP-9624:
Allow noncharacter code points in unicode encoding and decoding

The two noncharacter code points 16#FFFE and 16#FFFF were not
allowed to be encoded or decoded using the unicode module or
bit syntax. That causes an inconsistency, since the noncharacters
16#FDD0 to 16#FDEF could be encoded/decoded.
There is two ways to fix that inconsistency.
We have chosen to allow 16#FFFE and 16#FFFF to be encoded and
decoded, because the noncharacters could be useful internally
within an application and it will make encoding and decoding
slightly faster.

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.

On 32 bit we know that a comparison with a lossfull double
and a short will always give the float is being superior.
So therefore we only have to check the sign on the double.
|
|
Test for checking equality on all float exponents
Test in equality for all comparison tests
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is needed for use on 32 bit with very large floats.
|
|
|
|
|
|
These tests are useful when the difference between the
bignum and float is larger than one bignum segment.
|
|
As it is possible to assume that bignums are bigger than smalls,
we can just check the sign of the bignum.
|
|
|
|
For floating point values which are greater than 9007199254740990.0 or
smaller than -9007199254740990.0, the floating point numbers are now
converted to integers during comparison with an integer. This makes
number comparisons transitive for large floating point numbers.

Each gc_bif[123] instruction must have both a transformation in
ops.tab and special code in gen_guard_bif[123]().
Rewrite it to do most of the work in gen_guard_bif[123]().
|
|
In the handling of generic instructions, we used to always
test whether the instruction was 'too_old_compiler' and abort
loading with a special error message.
Refactor the code so that we only do test if we an error
has occurred. That will allow us to make the test more expensive
in the future, allowing us to customize error messages for certain
opcode without any cost in the successful case.
|

|
|
'store_var' is always followed by 'next_arg'.
|
|
'next_instr' is always followed by 'is_op'.
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
|
|
We don't need type constraints that essentially are assertions;
the wrong type will be detected and loading aborted when no specific
instruction can be found.
|
|
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.)
|
|
|
|
This optimization will save some space (in the loader tables) and
some loading time.
|
|
Fix the incorrect code that attempted to remove a single
'next_arg' instructions before 'next_instr'.
|
|
It is more useful to have a helper function that can test for
any instruction.
|
|
is_list/2 and other test instructions with a zero label was last
generated by the v1 BEAM compiler which was last supported in R6B.
Since BEAM modules produced by that compiler will be rejected with
a nice error message for other reasons (e.g. by the test for the
module_info/0,1 functions), retaining those transformations serves
no useful purpose.
|
|
The hybrid-heap emulator is broken since R12, so there is no
need to keep those instructions.
|
|
Ancient versions of BEAM compiler could generate move instruction with
the same source and destination registers, so the loader would optimize
away such instructions.
