Do the optimizations of bs_put* instructions in beam_ssa_opt
and remove the beam_bs pass. This can lead to a slight improvement
of compilation times.
|
|
There are two instructions that take string operands:
{bs_put_string,Fail,NumberOfBytes,{string,String}}
{bs_match_string,Fail,Register,NumberOfBits,{string,String}}
In the canonical BEAM code that is passed to beam_asm, string String
is currently represented as a list. (The string in bs_match_string is
a bitstring before the beam_z compiler pass.) That is wasteful,
because there will be unnecessary conversions between lists and
binaries.
Change the representation of String to be a binary.
Furthermore, bs_put_string is an optimization of a bs_put_binary
instruction with a literal binary operand. Currently, the
bs_put_string instruction is introduced in beam_bs. Delay the
introduction of bs_put_string to the beam_z pass. That will simplify
optimizations and allow us to do the optimization currently done
in beam_bs in a SSA pass in a future commit.

The optimization can be applied in a few more places if done
before ssa_opt_bsm_shortcut (for example, in unicode:cbv/2).
|
|
The removal of redundant bs_restore2 instructions is done easier
on the SSA format. Keep the rest of the optimizations, because
they are easier to do on the BEAM instructions.

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.
