This commit also adds a check to see that all files that are part of an xi:include also have part of XML_FILES and vice versa. It also fixes any applications where this was not true.

2017-09-14Add compile_info option to compileJosé Valim
This allows compilers built on top of the compile module to attach external compilation metadata to the compile_info chunk. For example, Erlang uses this chunk to store the compiler version. Elixir and LFE may augment this by also adding their own compiler versions, which can be useful when debugging. The deterministic option does not affect the user supplied compile_info. It is therefore the responsibility of external compilers to guarantee any added information does not violate the determinsitic option, if such option is supported. Finally, this code moves the building of the compile_info options to the compile module instead of beam_asm, moving all of the option mangling code to a single place.

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()

2017-04-25Store abstract code in the Dbgi chunkJosé Valim
The new Dbgi chunk returns data in the following format: {debug_info_v1, Backend, Data} This allows compilers to store the debug info in different formats. In order to retrieve a particular format, for instance, Erlang Abstract Format, one may invoke: Backend:debug_info(erlang_v1, Module, Data, Opts) Besides introducing the chunk above, this commit also: * Changes beam_lib:chunk(Beam, [:abstract_code]) to read from the new Dbgi chunk while keeping backwards compatibility with old .beams * Adds the {debug_info, {Backend, Data}} option to compile:file/2 and friends that are stored in the Dbgi chunk. This allows the debug info encryption mechanism to work across compilers * Improves dialyzer to work directly on Core Erlang, allowing languages that do not have the Erlang Abstract Format to be dialyzer as long as they emit the new chunk and their backend implementation is available Backwards compatibility is kept across the board except for those calling beam_lib:chunk(Beam, ["Abst"]), as the old chunk is no longer available. Note however the "Abst" chunk has always been optional. Future OTP versions may remove parsing the "Abst" chunk altogether from beam_lib once Erlang 19 and earlier is no longer supported. The current Dialyzer implementation still supports earlier .beam files and such may also be removed in future versions.

2017-02-12Add extra_chunks option to compileJosé Valim
This allow languages such as Elixir and LFE to attach extra chunks to the .beam file without having to parse the beam file after compilation. This commit also cleans up the interface to beam_asm, allowing chunks to be passed from the compiler without a need to change beam_asm API on every new chunk.

2016-12-07Add option 'deterministic' for reproducible buildsBjörn Gustavsson
Add the option 'deterministic' to make it easier to achieve reproducible builds. This option omits the {options,...} and {source,...} tuples in M:module_info(compile), because those options may contain absolute paths. The author of ERL-310 suggested that only compiler options that may contain absolute paths (such as {i,...}) should be excluded. But I find it confusing to keep only some options. Alternatives considered: Always omitting this information. Since this information has been available for a long time, that would probably break some workflows. As an example that some people care about {source,...}, 2d785c07fbf9 made it possible to give a compiler option to set {source,...}. ERL-310
