2010-12-02beam_utils: Fix check_liveness/3 for receive loopsBjörn Gustavsson
Sometimes the beam_bool pass wants to know whether an y register will be killed by the code that follows and will do (effectively): beam_utils:is_killed({y,Y}, Code, L) When asked to calculate the liveness for an y register, beam_utils:is_killed/3 will loop forever if the code includes a receive loop. Since this rarely occurs, fix the problem in the simplest and most conservative way. Reported-by: Christopher Williams
2010-11-26beam_utils: Fix liveness analysis for gc_bif instructionsBjörn Gustavsson
When gc_bif instructions occurred outside of a block, beam_utils:check_liveness/3 did not take into account that the instruction could do a garbage collection, and could falsely report that an x register would be killed. That could cause the beam_dead pass to make the code unsafe by removing the assignment to an x register that would subsequently be referenced by the garbage collector.

2010-05-20Remove stray support for the bs_bits_to_bytes2/2 instructionBjörn Gustavsson
bs_bits_to_bytes2/2 was an experimental instruction added in R11, but was removed in R12. Although the beam_disasm and beam_validator modules do support instructions in older releases, there is no reason to have them support experimental instructions.
