2015-04-22Move rewriting of bs_match from beam_clean to beam_zBjörn Gustavsson
The actual bs_match_string instruction has four operands: bs_match_string {f,Lbl} Ctxt NumBits {string,ListOfBytes} However, v3_codegen emits a more compact representation where the bits to match are packaged in a bitstring: bs_match_string {f,Lbl} Ctxt Bitstring Currently, beam_clean:clean_labels/1 will rewrite the compact representation to the final representation. That is unfortunate since clean_labels/1 is called by beam_dead, which means that the less compact representation will be introduced long before it is actually needed by beam_asm. It will also complicate any optimizations that we might want to do. Move the rewriting of bs_match_string from beam_clean:clean_labels/1 to the beam_z pass, which is the last pass executed before beam_validator and beam_asm.
2015-03-09Introduce '%live' annotations with a complete register mapBjörn Gustavsson
As a preparation for fixing a bug, introduce a complete register map in the '%live' annotations.

2013-05-28Fix renaming of bs_put_string instructionsAnthony Ramine
The clause was formerly commented-out because at this point in the code, no bs_put_string instruction has been generated yet when compiling from Erlang. If an Erlang module is compiled to BEAM assembly and the result contains a bs_put_string instruction, the output can't be compiled to binary anymore and the compiler crashes with the following error: $ erlc prs.S Function: compress/1 prs.S:none: internal error in beam_block; crash reason: {{case_clause, {'EXIT', {function_clause, [{beam_utils,live_opt, [[{bs_put_string,1,{string,[0]}}, {bs_init, {f,0}, {bs_append,0,8,{field_flags,[]}}, 0, [{integer,8},{x,0}], {x,1}}, {label,2}], 2, {1,{1,1,nil,nil}}, [{block, [{'%live',2}, {set,[{x,0}],[{x,1}],move}, {'%live',1}]}, return]], [{file,"beam_utils.erl"},{line,639}]}, {beam_utils,live_opt,1, [{file,"beam_utils.erl"},{line,205}]}, {beam_block,function,2, [{file,"beam_block.erl"},{line,38}]}, {lists,mapfoldl,3, [{file,"lists.erl"},{line,1329}]}, {beam_block,module,2, [{file,"beam_block.erl"},{line,29}]}, {compile,'-select_passes/2-anonymous-2-',2, [{file,"compile.erl"},{line,476}]}, {compile,'-internal_comp/4-anonymous-1-',2, [{file,"compile.erl"},{line,276}]}, {compile,fold_comp,3, [{file,"compile.erl"},{line,294}]}]}}}, [{compile,'-select_passes/2-anonymous-2-',2, [{file,"compile.erl"},{line,476}]}, {compile,'-internal_comp/4-anonymous-1-',2, [{file,"compile.erl"},{line,276}]}, {compile,fold_comp,3,[{file,"compile.erl"},{line,294}]}, {compile,internal_comp,4,[{file,"compile.erl"},{line,278}]}, {compile,'-do_compile/2-anonymous-0-',2, [{file,"compile.erl"},{line,152}]}]}
2012-10-10Break apart tail-recursive call instructionsBjörn Gustavsson
Somewhat reduce the code bloat by eliminating special cases.
2012-10-10Represent the 'send' instruction as a call_ext/2 instructionBjörn Gustavsson
Somewhat reduce code bloat.
2012-10-10Rewrite select_val and select_tuple_arity to a select instructionBjörn Gustavsson
Eliminate some code bloat.
2012-10-09Rewrite binary creation instructions to bs_init instructionsBjörn Gustavsson
Rewrite the five binary creation instructions to a bs_init instruction, in order to somewhat reduce code bloat.
2012-10-09Rewrite bs_add, bs_utf*_size to BIF instructions in optimizationsBjörn Gustavsson
We can remove some code bloat by handling the special instructions as BIF instructions in the optimization passes. Also note that bs_utf*_size was not handled by beam_utils:check_liveness/3 (meaning the conservative answer instead of the correct answer would be returned).
2012-10-09Rewrite bs_put* instructions to a generic bs_put instructionBjörn Gustavsson
Seven bs_put_* instructions can be combined into one generic bs_put instruction to avoid some code bloat. That will also improve some optimizations (such as beam_trim) that did not handle all bs_put* variants.
2012-10-09Refactor removal of unused labelsBjörn Gustavsson
Since we always want to remove unused labels directly after code generation (whether we'll run the optimization passes or not), we can simplify the code by doing it in beam_a.
2012-10-09Introduce the mandatory beam_a and beam_z passesBjörn Gustavsson
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.
