2018-08-17Simplify optimizations by introducing is_nil lateBjörn Gustavsson
2018-06-18Update copyright yearHenrik Nord
2018-01-26Eliminate get_list/3 internally in the compilerBjörn Gustavsson
Instructions that produce more than one result complicate optimizations. get_list/3 is one of two instructions that produce multiple results (get_map_elements/3 is the other). Introduce the get_hd/2 and get_tl/2 instructions that return the head and tail of a cons cell, respectively, and use it internally in all optimization passes. For efficiency, we still want to use get_list/3 if both head and tail are used, so we will translate matching pairs of get_hd and get_tl back to get_list instructions.

2016-04-08Remove unreachable code after 'raise' instructionsBjörn Gustavsson
Remove the unreachable instructions after a 'raise' instruction (e.g. a 'jump' or 'deallocate', 'return') to decrease code size.

2015-04-22Move rewriting of bs_match from beam_clean to beam_zBjörn Gustavsson
The actual bs_match_string instruction has four operands: bs_match_string {f,Lbl} Ctxt NumBits {string,ListOfBytes} However, v3_codegen emits a more compact representation where the bits to match are packaged in a bitstring: bs_match_string {f,Lbl} Ctxt Bitstring Currently, beam_clean:clean_labels/1 will rewrite the compact representation to the final representation. That is unfortunate since clean_labels/1 is called by beam_dead, which means that the less compact representation will be introduced long before it is actually needed by beam_asm. It will also complicate any optimizations that we might want to do. Move the rewriting of bs_match_string from beam_clean:clean_labels/1 to the beam_z pass, which is the last pass executed before beam_validator and beam_asm.
2015-01-26beam_z: Remove the uncovered to_typed_literal/1 functionBjörn Gustavsson
It was a workaround for a bug that has been fixed.

2014-01-28compiler: Implement different instructions for => and :=Björn Gustavsson
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.
2012-10-10Rewrite select_val and select_tuple_arity to a select instructionBjörn Gustavsson
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.
2012-10-09Introduce the mandatory beam_a and beam_z passesBjörn Gustavsson
Introduce the mandary beam_a pass that will be run directly after code generation, and the mandatory beam_z pass that will be run just before beam_asm. Since these passes surround the optimizations, beam_a can (for example) do instruction renaming to simplify the optimization passes and beam_z can undo those renamings.
