2015-02-12Eliminate all uses of core_lib:get_anno/1 and core_lib:set_anno/2Björn Gustavsson
We are about to deprecate core_lib:get_anno/1 and core_lib:set_anno/2, so we should stop using them in the compiler.
2015-01-30Make the syntax for map pairs readableBjörn Gustavsson
Use the same syntax for map pairs in Core Erlang code as in the Erlang Code. This Erlang code: M#{x:=42,y=>1} will look like this in Core Erlang: ~{'x':=42,'y'=>1|M}~
2015-01-27core_parse: Always fold literal consesBjörn Gustavsson
v3_core is careful to always create literals whenever possible. Correct core_parse so it, too, always creates literals out of literal conses. With that correction, we can remove the workaround in sys_core_fold (introduced in 26a5dea3cb5e101) that handles non-literal flags in a binary.
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.
2014-03-17compiler: 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: Change Maps Core FormatBjörn-Egil Dahlberg
Ex. Instead of: M~{~<K,V>}~ The format is now: ~{~<K,V>|M}~ This also removes a shift/reduce warning. The changes in core_pp now requires compiler-5.0 to compile because of is_map/1 guard, i.e. a need for a compiler with Maps know-how.
