2011-11-09erts,hipe: Limited support for hipe cross compilationSverker Eriksson
Normally hipe assumes that generated native code will be executed on the same emulator as the hipe compiler is running on. This commit allows you to build a hipe "cross-compiler" for a different configured emulator (but for same architecture). Example: > cd lib/hipe > make clean > make XCOMP=yes FLAVOR=smp TYPE=debug This hipe compiler will generate code to be executed on the debug compiled smp-emulator at $ERL_TOP.

* 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
2011-11-07beam_asm: Strenghten the calculation of Uniq for funsBjörn Gustavsson
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.)
2011-11-07EEP-23: Allow variables in fun M:F/ABjörn Gustavsson
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.

2011-11-02beam_loader: Support external funs in the literal poolBjörn Gustavsson
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).
2011-11-02beam_load.c: Clarify error message when loading unsupported BEAM filesBjörn Gustavsson

2011-10-31erts: Fix memory leak of enif_inspect_* on independent environmentSverker Eriksson
Affects enif_inspect_iolist_as_binary() on iolists and enif_inspect_binary() on byte-unaligned binaries. Also need to allocate inspection buffers in ERTS_ALC_T_NIF for process independent environments, as we don't know when and where the environment will be freed.

2011-10-26erts-hipe: Change THE_NON_VALUE for HiPE enabled debug emulatorSverker Eriksson
This is a work-around as there are hipe BIFs that return untagged integers that may be intepreted as THE_NON_VALUE (24). Hipe bifs that return offsets as untagged integers: hipe_bs_put_utf8 hipe_bs_put_utf16be hipe_bs_put_utf16le Hipe bifs that return raw pointers: hipe_find_na_or_make_stub hipe_nonclosure_address
2011-10-26erts-hipe: Enable debug compiled hipe-VM with lock checkerSverker Eriksson

2011-10-26erts-hipe: Fix new trap conventions for x86, amd64 and ppcSverker Eriksson
2011-10-26Store the trap address in p->iBjörn Gustavsson
For cleanliness, store the trap address in p->i instead of in p->def_arg_reg[3].
2011-10-26Store the trap arguments in the X register arrayBjörn Gustavsson
Store arguments for a trap in the X register array to allow traps to have any number of arguments.
2011-10-26erts-hipe: Make some primops use new BIF calling conventionSverker Eriksson
These primops use the standard_bif_interface_X macros in hipe_bif_list.m4 and must therefor be implemented as bifs for things to work. Maybe there is room for optimization here to call the primops more directly with arguments in registers without having to push them on stack to emulate bif calls.
2011-10-26erts-hipe: Adapt generated BIF wrappers for new calling conventionSverker Eriksson
x86 and amd64: Push BIF__ARGS array on C-stack. ppc, sparc and arm: Write BIF__ARGS array to P->def_arg_reg[] Just the simplest solution with limited assembler knowledge, probably room for improvements.
2011-10-26erts-hipe: Remove obscuring macros in generated assembler codeSverker Eriksson
No semantic change. Just easier to debug when jumps are spelled out and not obscured by yet another layer of macros.
2011-10-26erts-hipe: Make hipe enabled emulator compile with new BIF callsSverker Eriksson
A first step to adapt hipe to the new BIF calling convention.
2011-10-26Simplify the instructions for calling BIFsBjörn Gustavsson
Taking advantage of the new calling convention for BIFs, we only need one instruction to handle BIFs with any number of arguments. This change eliminates the limit of three arguments for BIFs, but traps are still limited to three arguments.
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.
2011-10-26Use the proper macros in all BIFsBjörn Gustavsson
As a preparation for changing the calling convention for BIFs, make sure that all BIFs use the macros. Also, eliminate all calls from one BIF to another, since that also breaks the calling convention abstraction.

2011-10-13Allow noncharacter code points in unicode encoding and decodingBjörn Gustavsson
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.
