2017-05-18Modernize subroutine calls by removing '&'Björn Gustavsson
In Perl 5, '&' on direct subroutine calls are optional.
2017-05-18Eliminate the -gen_dest macro flagBjörn Gustavsson
Instructions that take a 'd' argument needs a -gen_dest flag in their macros. For example: %macro:put_list PutList -pack -gen_dest put_list s s d -gen_dest was needed when x(0) was stored in a register, since it is not possible to take the address of a register. Now that x(0) is stored in memory and we can take the address, we can eliminate gen_dest.

2017-05-16Teach erlexec the -emu_type optionBjörn Gustavsson
Add the option -emu_type to start an emulator of a certain type. For exampe, "-emu_type lcnt" will start beam.lcnt.smp. Any string will be accepted after -emu_type. If there is no corresponding emulator, there will be an error similar to: erlexec: The emulator '.../bin/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/beam.foo.smp' does not exist. On Windows, there is an undocumented option "-debug". Remove that option, because -emu_type can be used instead.
2017-05-16Let --enable-lock-counter build an additional emulatorBjörn Gustavsson
"./configure --enable-lock-counter" would modify the behavior of the default emulator (usually SMP). To make lock counting more accessible, change --enable-lock-counter to build an additional emulator in the same way as: (cd erts/emulator && make lcnt) (The next commit will make it easier to start the built lock-counter emulator.)

2017-05-12Warn for potentially unsafe use of get_stacktrace/0Björn Gustavsson
erlang:get_stacktrace/0 returns the stacktrace for the latest exception. The problem is that the stacktrace is kept until the next exception occurs. If the last exception was a 'function_clause' or a 'badarg', the arguments for the call are also kept forever. The arguments can be terms of any size (potentially huge). In a future release, we would like to only allow erlang:get_stacktrace/0 from within a 'try' expression. That would make it possible to clear the stacktrace when the 'try' expression is exited. The 'catch' expression has no natural end where the stacktrace could be cleared. The stacktrace could be cleared at the end of the function that the 'catch' occurs in, but that would cause problems in the following scenario (from real life, but simplified): try ... catch _:_ -> io:format(...), io:format("~p\n", [erlang:get_stacktrace()]) end. %% In io.erl. format(Fmt, Args) -> Res = case ... of SomePattern -> catch... ...; SomeOtherPattern -> %% Output the formatted string here ... end, clear_stacktrace(), %% Inserted by compiler. Res. The call to io:format() would always clear the stacktrace before it could be retrieved. That problem could be solved by tightning the scope in which the stacktrace is kept, but the rules for how long erlang:get_stacktrace/0 would work would become complicated. Therefore, the solution we suggest for a future major release of OTP is that erlang:get_stacktrace/0 will return [] if it is called outside the 'catch' part of a 'try' expression. To help users prepare, introduce a warning when it is likely that erlang:get_stacktrace/0 will always return an empty list, for example in this code: catch error(foo), Stk = erlang:get_stacktrace() or in this code: try Expr catch _:_ -> ok end, Stk = erlang:get_stacktrace()

2017-05-05Clear p->fvalue when handling a try/catchBjörn Gustavsson
p->fvalue will be set by BIFs that generate exceptions (such as throw/1), and it will not be cleared before another exception is generated. Potentially, p->fvalue may contain a huge term (e.g. after throw(HugeTerm)) which will be kept in the heap. We can shorten the lifetime of f->value by clearing it in the instructions that handle catches: catch_end and try_end. That is safe because BEAM code will never access p->fvalue. If BEAM code needs to rethrow an exception it will use a reference to the value passed in an X register. The reason that p->fvalue must not be cleared already in handle_error() is that native code trap handlers will use it. (See the comment before handle_error() and the comment at the end of handle_error() in beam_emu.c for some more information about exception handling.)

When removing typer as application, it was also removed from the list of applications to exclude from upgrade tests. However, since typer still exist in older OTP releases, it must remain in the exclude list as long as these releases are used in the test.

The macro previously named 'LOG2' is in fact computing the LSB (not the MSB) of its input, and can only be used to compute log2(n) when n is is a power of 2, that is, when its LSB is also its MSB.
