The expressions fun M:F/A, when all elements are literals are also
treated as a literal. Since they have consistent representation and
don't depend on the code currently loaded in the VM, this is safe.
This can provide significant performance improvements in code using such
functions extensively - a full function call to erlang:make_fun/3 is
replaced by a single move instruction and no register shuffling or
saving registers to stack is necessary. Additionally, compound data
types that contain such external functions as elements can be treated as
literals too.
The commit also changes the representation of external funs to be a
valid Erlang syntax and adds support for literal external funs to core
Erlang.

Specs of various *_arity functions in this module used different types
(integer(), non_neg_integer(), byte()) to refer to the type arity().

Dialyzer relies heavily on the assumption that the type of a literal
that is used as a pattern is the type of any value that can match that
pattern. For maps, that is not true, and it was causing bad analysis
results. A new help function dialyzer_utils:refold_pattern/1 identifies
maps in literal patterns, and unfolds and labels them, allowing them to
be properly analysed.

Literal maps could cause dialyzer to crash when pretty printing the results.

Change c_nil/1 to c_nil/0.
Change c_try/3 to c_try/5.
Change c_var_name/1 to var_name/1.

Optimize away 'not' in sys_core_fold instead of in beam_block
and beam_dead, as we can do a better job in sys_core_fold.
I modified the test suite temporarily to never turn off Core Erlang
modifications and looked at the coverage. With the new optimizations
active in sys_core_fold, the code in beam_block and beam_dead did not
find a single 'not' that it could optimize. That proves that the new
optimization is at least as good as the old one. Manually, I could
also verify that the new optimization would optimize some variations
of 'not' that the old one would not handle.

A map key in a pattern would be incorrectly pretty-printed.
As an example, the pattern in:
x() ->
#{ #{ a => 3 } := 42 } = X.
would be pretty-printed as:
<~{~<~{~<'a',3>}~,42>}~
instead of:
<~{~<~{::<'a',3>}~,42>}~
When this problem has been corrected, the workaround for it in
cerl:ann_c_map/3 can be removed. The workaround was not harmless,
as it would cause the following map update to incorrectly succeed:
(#{})#{a:=1}

Maps have certain invariants that must be preserved:
(1) A map as a pattern must be represented as #c_map{} record,
never as a literal. The reason is that the pattern '#{}' will
match any map, not just the empty map. The literal '#{}' will
only match the empty map.
(2) In a map pattern, the key must be a literal, a variable, or
data (list or tuple). Keys that are binaries or maps *must* be
represented as literals.
(3) Maps in expressions should be represented as literals if possible.
Nothing is broken if this invariant is broken, but the generated
code will be less efficient.
To preserve invariant (1), cerl:update_c_map/3 must never collapse
a map to a literal. To preserve invariant (3), cerl:update_c_map/3
must collapse a map to a literal if possible.
To preserve both invariants, we need a way for cerl:update_c_map/3 to
know whether the map is used as a pattern or as an expression. The
simplest way is to have an 'is_pat' boolean in the #c_map{} record
which is set when a #c_map{} record is initially created.
We also need to update core_parse.yrl to establish the invariants
in the same way as v3_core, to ensure that compiling from a
.core file will work even if all optimizations on Core Erlang are
disabled.

The introduction of c_map and c_map_pair was not done properly. In
particular, the definition of ctype() and an important Edoc comment
were not up-to-date.
While at it,
- some more types were cleaned up and exported so as to be used
in core_parse.hrl and
- some obviously dead code was removed (the type/1 function does
not return 'nil', which in turn simplified a clause in the code
of meta_1/2).

Not only variables are allowed as arguments, the name should reflect that.
Change cerl Map argument interface
* cerl:map_arg/1 is more suitable then cerl:map_val/1 in this case.
|
|
For updates of Map literals which may cause an error will be
determined in runtime, i.e. instructions are emitted for those
updates.
The changes in cerl now requires compiler-5.0 to compile because of
is_map/1 guard.
|
|
Reject all expressions that are known to fail.
Emit 'badarg' for those expressions.
Ex.
[]#{ a => 1}
Is not a valid map update expression.

|
|
Simplify compiler internals and parsing of core format.
