2010-05-20beam_block: Remove a clause that will never be executedBjörn Gustavsson
Since the introduction of literals in R12B, empty tuples are literals. Thus the put_tuple/2 instruction is always followed by at least one put/1 instruction. Therefore the alloc_may_pass/1 function in beam_block no longer needs a clause for for "put_tuple", because the clause for "put" will always be reached first (since the instruction stream is scanned in reverse execution order). Note that if the compiler would generate a "put_tuple 0 Dst" instruction for some unfathomable reason, we should still be because the run-time system will now refuse to load a module containing such an instruction.

2010-03-22compiler: Don't support the no_constant_pool optionBjörn Gustavsson
The no_constant_pool option was implied by the r11 option. It turns off the usage of the constant (literal) pool, so that BEAM instructions that use constants can be loaded in an R11 system. Since the r11 option has been removed, there is no need to retain the no_constant_pool option.
