2016-03-15	update copyright-year	Henrik Nord

2015-06-18	Change license text to APLv2	Bruce Yinhe

2015-04-22	Move rewriting of bs_match from beam_clean to beam_z	Björn 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.
2015-03-09	Introduce '%live' annotations with a complete register map	Björn Gustavsson
	As a preparation for fixing a bug, introduce a complete register map in the '%live' annotations.

2013-05-28	Fix renaming of bs_put_string instructions	Anthony 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}]}]}
2012-10-10	Break apart tail-recursive call instructions	Björn Gustavsson
	Somewhat reduce the code bloat by eliminating special cases.
2012-10-10	Represent the 'send' instruction as a call_ext/2 instruction	Björn Gustavsson
	Somewhat reduce code bloat.
2012-10-10	Rewrite select_val and select_tuple_arity to a select instruction	Björn Gustavsson
	Eliminate some code bloat.
2012-10-09	Rewrite binary creation instructions to bs_init instructions	Björn Gustavsson
	Rewrite the five binary creation instructions to a bs_init instruction, in order to somewhat reduce code bloat.
2012-10-09	Rewrite bs_add, bs_utf*_size to BIF instructions in optimizations	Björn 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).
2012-10-09	Rewrite bs_put* instructions to a generic bs_put instruction	Björn 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.
2012-10-09	Refactor removal of unused labels	Björn 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.
2012-10-09	Introduce the mandatory beam_a and beam_z passes	Björn 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.
