In the future we might want to add more bit syntax optimizations,
but beam_block is already sufficiently complicated. Therefore, move
the bit syntax optimizations out of beam_block into a separate
compiler pass called beam_bs.

When matching tuples, the pattern matching compiler would generate
code that would fetch all elements of the tuple that will ultimately
be used, *before* testing that (for example) the first element is the
correct record tag. For example:
is_tuple Fail {x,0}
test_arity Fail {x,0} 3
get_tuple_element {x,0} 0 {x,1}
get_tuple_element {x,0} 1 {x,2}
get_tuple_element {x,0} 2 {x,3}
is_eq_exact Fail {x,1} some_tag
If {x,2} and {x,3} are not used at label Fail, we can re-arrange the
code like this:
is_tuple Fail {x,0}
test_arity Fail {x,0} 3
get_tuple_element {x,0} 0 {x,1}
is_eq_exact Fail {x,1} some_tag
get_tuple_element {x,0} 1 {x,2}
get_tuple_element {x,0} 2 {x,3}
Doing that may be beneficial in two ways.
If the branch is taken, we have eliminated the execution of two
unnecessary instructions.
Even if the branch is never or rarely taken, there is the possibility
for more optimizations following the is_eq_exact instructions.
For example, imagine that the code looks like this:
get_tuple_element {x,0} 1 {x,2}
get_tuple_element {x,0} 2 {x,3}
move {x,2} {y,0}
move {x,3} {y,1}
Assuming that {x,2} and {x,3} have no further uses in the code
that follows, that can be rewritten to:
get_tuple_element {x,0} 1 {y,0}
get_tuple_element {x,0} 2 {y,1}
When should we perform this optimization?
At the very latest, it must be done before opt_blocks/1 in
beam_block which does the elimination of unnecessary moves.
Actually, we want do the optimization before the blocks have
been established, since moving instructions out of one block
into another is cumbersome.
Therefore, we will do the optimization in a new pass that is
run before beam_block. A new pass will make debugging easier,
and beam_block already has a fair number of sub passes.

A sets implementation based on maps.

Inlining the core_parse module is slow (the inline pass alone
takes more than 6 seconds on my computer) and has no benefit.
|
|
The code for inlining high-order functions from the lists module
is quite annoying when you try to navigate the sys_core_fold
module. Break out the code into its own module.

* nox/enable-silent-rules/OTP-10726:
Implement ./otp_build configure --enable-silent-rules
|
|
|
|
With silent rules, the output of make is less verbose and compilation
warnings are easier to spot. Silent rules are disabled by default and
can be disabled or enabled at will by make V=0 and make V=1.

Introduce the mandary beam_a pass that will be run directly after code
generation, and the mandatory beam_z pass that will be run just before
beam_asm. Since these passes surround the optimizations, beam_a can
(for example) do instruction renaming to simplify the optimization
passes and beam_z can undo those renamings.

In order to save space, rewrite suitable calls to erlang:error/{1,2}
to special BEAM instructions.
This code is probably longer than the code taken out of v3_life and
v3_codegen in the previous commit, but it is much easier to
understand and maintain since the BEAM assembler format is better
understood than the v3_life format.

To facilitate debugging of compiler bugs, teach the compiler the
'no_dead' option. Since the beam_dead pass used to do the necessary
splitting of basic blocks to expose all labels, we must move that
splitting into a separate pass that is always run.

We want to ensure that the compiler applications is kept
free of warnings.

If a gen_server process has many messages in its message queue and
calls another gen_server process, the selective receive in
gen_server:call() will have to go through the entire message queue.
Have the compiler generate the new mark_recv/1 and mark_recv/1
instructions that can avoid going through the entire message queue.
