2016-08-11[ERL-209] Fix ambiguous_catch_try_state inconsistency errorBjörn Gustavsson
It is not safe to share code between 'catch' blocks.
2016-05-25beam_jump: Clean up handling of labels before func_infoBjörn Gustavsson
In complicated code with many indirect jumps to the func_info label, a label could get lost.

2015-08-21Put 'try' in blocks to optimize allocation instructionsBjörn Gustavsson
Put 'try' instructions inside block to improve the optimization of allocation instructions. Currently, the compiler only looks at initialization of y registers inside blocks when determining which y registers that will be "naturally" initialized.

2015-06-17compiler: Fix beam_bool pass for get_map_elementsBjörn-Egil Dahlberg
Before beam_split the get_map_elements instruction is still in blocks and the helper function in beam_jump did not reflect this. Reported-by: Quviq twitter account

* bjorn/compiler/beam_jump-share: beam_jump: Don't jump into the middle of a 'try'
2015-02-20beam_jump: Eliminate pathologically slow compilationBjörn Gustavsson
José Valim noticed that code such as: match(1) -> 1; match(2) -> 2; match(3) -> 3; ... match(1000) -> 1000. would compile very slowly. The culprit is opt/3 in beam_jump. What happens is that opt/3 will rewrite this code: select_val ... label 1 jump 1000 label 2 jump 1000 ... label 999 jump 1000 label 1000 return very slowly to this code: select_val ... label 1 label 2 ... label 999 label 1000 return The reason for the slowness is that when opt/3 sees this sequence: label 1 jump 1000 ... it will remove the label (storing it in a dictionary), and pick up the previously processed instruction from the accumulator: select_val ... jump 1000 label 2 jump 1000 ... That is done in order to process all labels before the jump and also to get rid of the jump instruction if the previous instruction is an "unreachable after". In this case, re-processing the sequence will remove the now unreachable jump instruction: select_val ... label 2 jump 1000 ... The problem is that re-processing the select_val instruction is expensive. The instruction has a list of 1000 labels, all of which will be added (again) to the set of referenced labels. The select_val instruction will be re-processed again and again until all labels and jumps have been gobbled up. In the original version of beam_jump, opt/3 was not called repeatedly until a fixpoint was found, but was expected to do all its optimizations in one pass. The fixpoint iteration was added later. Since we now have the fixpoint iteration, there is no need to do everything in a single pass. When we encounter a jump, we will collect all previously seen labels and put them into the dictionary, and then we will move on. As a further optimization, we will look for sequences like this: jump X label ... jump X and replace them with: label ... jump X In the example above, that will avoid 1000 updates of the dictionary. After applying this optimization, compilation of the pattern went from roughly 55 s to 0.1 s for the example above but with 10000 clauses. Reported-by: José Valim
2015-02-20beam_jump: Don't jump into the middle of a 'try'Björn Gustavsson
The code sharing optimization could produce a jump into the middle of a 'try' block. beam_validator would reject the code. Reported-by: Ulf Norell
2015-01-12compiler: Remove get_map_elements label check in blocksBjörn-Egil Dahlberg
The get_map_elements instruction has been removed from all blocks by the mandatory beam_split pass and thus only needs handling by the outer loop.

To make it possible to build the entire OTP system, also define dummys for the instructions in ops.tab.

This makes applying the pass a second time a no-op.

Somewhat reduce the code bloat by eliminating special cases.

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.
2012-10-09beam_jump: Don't move a block which can be entered via a fallthroughBjörn Gustavsson
beam_jump moves short code sequences ending in an instruction that causes an exception to the end of the function, in the hope that a jump around the moved blocked can be replaced with a fallthrough. Therefore, moving a block that is entered via a fallthrough defeats the purpose of the optimization. Also add two more test cases for the beam_receive module to ensure that all lines are still covered.
2012-10-09beam_jump: Fix broken optimizationBjörn Gustavsson
A test instruction with the same target label as jump immediately followed it was supposed to be removed, but it was kept anyway. Fix that optimization, but also make sure that the test instruction is kept if the test instruction may have side effects (such as a bit syntax matching instruction). While at it, make the code cleaner by breaking it up into two clauses and don't remove the jump instruction if it is redudant (removal of redundant jump instructions is already handled in another place).

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.
