2017-05-10erl_bifs: Remove pure BIFs serving no useful purposeBjörn Gustavsson
Functions that can are known be pure can be evaluated at compile-time if the arguments are literals and if the result is expressible as a literal. list_to_ref/1 and list_to_port/1 returns terms that cannot be expressed as literals, so the optimization is not possible. The argument for port_to_list/1 is never a literal, so there is no way to evaluate it at compile-time. Therefore, marking those functions as pure serves no useful purpose. Note: list_to_pid/1 *is* marked as pure, but only so that we can test the code in sys_core_fold that rejects pure functions that evaluate to at term that is not possible to express as a literal. It is sufficient to have one pure function of that kind.

erlang:hash/2 was removed in c5d9b970fb5b3a71.

2016-09-21erl_bifs: Remove error_logger:warning_map/0 as a safe BIFBjörn Gustavsson
There is no need to list every obscure safe BIF in erl_bifs:is_safe/3. The purpose of erl_bifs:is_safe/3 is merely to warn when the return value of one of the safe BIFs is ignored.
2016-09-05Add math:floor/1 and math:ceil/1Björn Gustavsson
Add math:floor/1 and math:ceil/1 to avoid unnecessary conversions in floating point expressions. That is, instead of having to write float(floor(X)) as part of a floating point expressions, we can write simply math:floor(X).
2016-09-05Implement the new ceil/1 and floor/1 guard BIFsBjörn Gustavsson
Implement as ceil/1 and floor/1 as new guard BIFs (essentially part of Erlang language). They are guard BIFs because trunc/1 is a guard BIF. It would be strange to have trunc/1 as a part of the language, but not ceil/1 and floor/1.

2011-11-30compiler: Turn calls to math:pi/0 into constant valuesBjörn Gustavsson
Mark math:pi/0 as pure, informing the compiler that the value can be calculated at compile time.
2011-07-06Remove deprecated concat_binary/1Björn Gustavsson
concat_binary/1 was deprecated in R13B04, but already in the R10B-2 release, the documentation recommends using list_to_binary/1 instead.

2010-05-17Add guard BIFs binary_part/2,3Patrik Nyblom
Add the gc_bif's to the VM. Add infrastructure for gc_bif's (guard bifs that can gc) with two and. three arguments in VM (loader and VM). Add compiler support for gc_bif with three arguments. Add compiler (and interpreter) support for new guard BIFs. Add testcases for new guard BIFs in compiler and emulator.
