2019-03-28compiler: Fix documentation of cerl:c_binary/1Hans Bolinder
2018-03-26Compile external fun expressions to literalsMichał Muskała
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.

2016-05-18Use arity() consistentlyKostis Sagonas
Specs of various *_arity functions in this module used different types (integer(), non_neg_integer(), byte()) to refer to the type arity().
2016-04-28dialyzer: Unfold cerl patterns containing mapsMagnus Lång
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.

2015-03-19cerl: Correct incorrect EDoc referencesBjörn Gustavsson
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.
2015-03-09sys_core_fold: Improve optimization of 'not'Björn Gustavsson
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.

2015-01-28core_pp: Correct printing of map literalsBjörn Gustavsson
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}
2015-01-26cerl: Make sure that we preserve the invariants for mapsBjörn Gustavsson
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.

2014-03-19Clean up the types of cerlKostis Sagonas
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).
2014-03-17compiler: Change #c_map{var} to #c_map{arg}Björn-Egil Dahlberg
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.
2014-03-17compiler: Constant fold Maps that are safeBjörn-Egil Dahlberg
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.
