2013-04-19Use a set to store ref registers in beam_receiveAnthony Ramine
In some circumstances, as when inlining code, when some optimization passes are disabled or with hand-written but semantically correct Core Erlang or BEAM assembly, a fresh reference may be live in more than one register: ... {allocate_zero,2,2}. ... {call_ext,0,{extfunc,erlang,make_ref,0}}. % Ref in [x0] ... {move,{x,0},{y,0}}. % Ref in [x0,y0] {move,{y,1},{x,0}}. % Ref in [y0] ... {move,{y,0},{x,0}}. % Ref in [x0,y0] {move,{x,0},{y,1}}. % Ref in [x0,y0,y1] {label,5}. {loop_rec,{f,6},{x,0}}. % Ref in [y0,y1] ... {loop_rec_end,{f,5}}. {label,6}. {wait,{f,5}}. ... Pass beam_receive expects a single live register for the ref when it encounters the loop_rec instruction and crashes with the following reason: $ erlc t.S ... crash reason: {{case_clause, {'EXIT', {{case_clause,[{y,1},{y,0}]}, [{beam_receive,opt_recv,5, [{file,"beam_receive.erl"},{line,154}]}, ...]}}}, ...} This commit teaches beam_receive how to use a set of registers instead of a single one when tracking fresh references, thus avoiding the crash.

2010-05-11Optimize selective receives in the presence of a large message queueBjörn Gustavsson
If a gen_server process has many messages in its message queue and calls another gen_server process, the selective receive in gen_server:call() will have to go through the entire message queue. Have the compiler generate the new mark_recv/1 and mark_recv/1 instructions that can avoid going through the entire message queue.
