Somewhat reduce the code bloat by eliminating special cases.

Eliminate some code bloat.
|
|
Rewrite the five binary creation instructions to a bs_init
instruction, in order to somewhat reduce code bloat.
|
|
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).
|
|
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.
|
|
The usage calculation only looked at the allocation in GC BIFs, not
at the source and destination registers. Also, if there is a failure
label, make sure that we test whether the register can be used there.
|
|
The liveness at the failure label should be ignored, because if
there is an exception, all x registers will be killed.
|
|
The code generator uses conservative liveness information. Therefore
the number of live registers in allocation instructions (such as
test_heap/2) may be too high. Use the actual liveness information
to lower the number of live register if it's too high.
The main reason we want to do this is to enable more optimizations
that depend on liveness analysis, such as the beam_bool and beam_dead
passes.
|
|
Less conservative liveness analysis allows more optimizations
to be applied (such as the ones in beam_bool).
|
|
Liveness for the try_case_end/1 instruction should be calculated
in the same way as for the case_end/1 instruction.

In the following code excerpt, the instruction marked below was
incorrectly removed:
.
.
.
{'try',{y,2},{f,TryCaseLabel}}.
{bif,get,{f,0},[{x,0}],{x,0}}.
{move,{x,1},{y,0}}.
{move,{x,3},{y,1}}. <======= Incorrectly removed
{jump,{f,TryEndLabel}}.
{label,TryEndLabel}.
{try_end,{y,2}}.
{deallocate,3}.
return.
{label,TryCaseLabel}.
{try_case,{y,2}}.
.
.
.
beam_utils indicated that {y,1} was not used at TryEndLabel,
which by itself is correct. But it is still not safe to remove
the instruction, because {y,1} might be used at TryCaseLabel
if an exception occurs.

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.

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.

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.
