2019-01-24beam_trim: Ignore type annotationsJohn Högberg
The type annotations inserted by beam_ssa_type and beam_ssa_bsm would inadvertently disable stack trimming, as unknown instructions are considered unsafe.
2018-11-06beam_trim: Add comments about how all this worksBjörn Gustavsson
Also rename a few functions in attempt to make it clearer.
2018-11-06beam_trim: Recognize more safe labelsBjörn Gustavsson
Recognize more safe labels to enable stack trimming in more circumstances.

2018-11-06beam_trim: Stop using beam_utils:is_not_used/3Björn Gustavsson
Eliminate the use of beam_utils:is_not_used/3 by implementing a simple is_not_used() function in beam_trim itself. The new version actually makes trimming possible in more circumstances, because beam_utils:is_not_used/3 was too conservative for the purpose of stack trimming (it was previously used for optimizations where it was necessary to be more conservative). Alternatives considered: I tried to implement stack trimming in beam_ssa_codegen but it turned out to be a total mess. Not surprisingly, it turns out that an optimization that renumbers Y registers is hard to do on an intermediate representation that still use variables instead of BEAM registers.
2018-11-06beam_trim, beam_jump: Print Name/Arity if there is a crashBjörn Gustavsson
This will help investigation of compiler bugs.

2016-09-21Simplify beam_utilsBjörn Gustavsson
When beam_utils was first written, it did not have the functions for testing whether a register was not used. Those were added later, in sort of a hacky way. Also, is_killed*() and is_not_used*() for Y registers would return the same answer. Fix that to make the API more consistent (an Y register can only be killed by a deallocate/1 instruction). We will need to change beam_trim to call beam_utils:is_not_used/3 instead of beam_utils:is_killed/3.

2012-10-10Break apart tail-recursive call instructionsBjörn Gustavsson
Somewhat reduce the code bloat by eliminating special cases.
2012-10-10Represent the 'send' instruction as a call_ext/2 instructionBjörn Gustavsson
Somewhat reduce 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.
