2018-02-02Reword docs related to the runtime system modeXavier Noria
The existing wording may be interpreted as saying that embedded mode eager loads all modules. This revision makes clear embedded mode only disables module auto loading. Since I was on it, I have reordered a couple of places to describe interactive first, and then embedded. It feels natural to cover first the default and positive mode (auto loads), and then its negation.

Eliminate get_list/3 internally in the compiler
2018-01-29erts: Refactor hipe x86_64 trampolinesSverker Eriksson
2018-01-29make HiPE work on x86_64 when PIE is enabledbhuztez
Currently HiPE amd64 assumes the runtime system code is loaded into the low 2G of the address space. However, this is not the case when PIE is enabled, it is loaded into a random location. So trampolines are required to call BIFs, and also we have first to load the address of sse2_fnegate_mask to a regisiter before xorpd in fchs.
2018-01-26Eliminate get_list/3 internally in the compilerBjörn Gustavsson
Instructions that produce more than one result complicate optimizations. get_list/3 is one of two instructions that produce multiple results (get_map_elements/3 is the other). Introduce the get_hd/2 and get_tl/2 instructions that return the head and tail of a cons cell, respectively, and use it internally in all optimization passes. For efficiency, we still want to use get_list/3 if both head and tail are used, so we will translate matching pairs of get_hd and get_tl back to get_list instructions.

Fix rounding bug in float_to_list/2
2018-01-22Don't build a stacktrace if it's only passed to erlang:raise/3Björn Gustavsson
Consider the following function: function({function,Name,Arity,CLabel,Is0}, Lc0) -> try %% Optimize the code for the function. catch Class:Error:Stack -> io:format("Function: ~w/~w\n", [Name,Arity]), erlang:raise(Class, Error, Stack) end. The stacktrace is retrieved, but it is only used in the call to erlang:raise/3. There is no need to build a stacktrace in this function. We can avoid the building if we introduce an instruction called raw_raise/3 that works exactly like the erlang:raise/3 BIF except that its third argument must be a raw stacktrace.

2018-01-19Optimize matching of an 'utf8' segment in the binary syntaxBjörn Gustavsson
Matching out an 8-bit integer is faster than matching out an utf8-encoded code point, even if the value of the code point is less than 128. The reason is that matching out an 8-bit integer is specially optimized to avoid a function call. Do a similar optimization for matching out an utf8 segment.

2018-01-17Fix slow hipe executionSverker Eriksson
particularly slow erlc when compiler is hipe compiled. hipe_unified_loader:load did not patch external call sites and instead caused a double hipe mode switch per call. hipe_unified_loader:load is only used for early modules first loaded as beam and by code:atomic_load and friends.

2018-01-15erts: Fix float_to_list(F, [{decimals,D}]).Sverker Eriksson
Example symptom: 1> float_to_list(0.145, [{decimals,1}]). "0.2" There were two problems in sys_double_to_chars_fast 1. Most serious was adding 0.55555555 / (10^D) instead of 0.5 / (10^D) which imposed a 5.5% risk of a faulty rounding up. 2. Using fixpoint for frac_part which lost significant bits if F < 0.5

2018-01-03Fail if ':' is passed to binary_to_integer/2Frank Hunleth
Before: 1> binary_to_integer(<<":">>, 16). 3 After: 1> binary_to_integer(<<":">>, 16). ** exception error: bad argument in function binary_to_integer/2 called as binary_to_integer(<<":">>,16) Prior to this change, both list_to_integer/2 and binary_to_integer/2 would convert strings with values between ASCII '9' up to '0'+base for base > 10. For example, when converting in base 16, you could pass ':', ';', '<', '=', '>', and '?' without getting an exception. This was due to a missing check in c2int_is_invalid_char(). This change adds the missing check and a regression test for passing ':'. It also simplifies the code and tightens up an out-of-bounds check to make it off-by-one rather than off-by-two.

2018-01-03Disallow NULs in filename-encoded stringsJohn Högberg
Previously we accepted trailing NULs, which was backwards compatible as such usage never resulted in misbehavior in the first place. The downside is that it prevented erts_native_filename_need from returning an accurate number of *actual characters*, needlessly complicating encoding-agnostic code like erts_osenv.
