The compiler would crash when attempting to compile a function
head that did binary matching and had a complex expression using
'andalso' and 'not'.

In Core Erlang and later passes, compiler-generated code can be
indicated in two different ways: by negative line numbers and by
a 'compiler_generated' annotation.
Simplify the code and improve coverage by turning negative line
numbers positive and adding a 'compiler_generated' annotation in
the v3_core pass. That means that Core Erlang and latter passes
do not have deal with negative line numbers.

If we let v3_kernel make sure that a 'put' operation always has a
destination register, the special case in v3_codegen is not needed.
|

In the v3_life pass, it is assumed that a 'match_fail' primop
only occur at the top-level and at the end of a function.
But this code:
do_split_cases(A) ->
case A of
x ->
Z = dummy1;
_ ->
Z = dummy2,
a=b
end,
Z.
will be optimized by sys_core_fold to the following code:
'split_cases'/1 =
fun (_cor0) ->
let <_cor7,Z> =
case _cor0 of
<'x'> when 'true' ->
< 'dummy1','dummy1' >
<_cor6> when 'true' ->
%% Here follows a 'match_fail' primop inside
%% multiple return values:
< primop 'match_fail'({'badmatch','b'}),'dummy2' >
end
in
Z
moving the 'match_fail' primop into a "values" construction.
In the future, we would like to get rid of the v3_life pass (it is
there for historical reasons), so in the mean-time we prefer to not
add more code to it by generalizing the handling of 'match_fail'.
Since the 'match_fail' primop can be simulated by erlang:error/{1,2},
the simplest solution is to translate 'match_fail' to a call to
erlang:error/{1,2} in v3_kernel and remove the handling of
'match_fail' in v3_life and v3_codegen.
It is tempting to get rid of 'match_fail' also in the Core Erlang
format, but there are two issues:
- Removing the support for 'match_fail' completely may break tools
that generate Core Erlang code. We should not do that in a minor
release.
- There is no easy way to generate a 'function_clause' exception
that will remain correct if it will be inlined into another
function. (Calling "erlang:error(function_clause, Args)" is
fine only if it is not inlined into another function.) A good
solution probably involves introducing new instructions, which
is better done in a major release.

By accident a previous instance of St is used, which is
harmless in this case, but leads to worse quality of
the generated code.
|
|
Code such as
foo(A) -> <<A:0>>.
would cause a compiler crash.
|
|
The inliner can cause illegal uses of the bs_context_to_binary/1
instruction, such as:
bs_context_to_binary {literal,"string"}
or
bs_context_to_binary {integer,1}
Remove the bs_context_to_binary/1 instruction if the operand
is not a register (it is clearly not needed).

* bg/compiler-remove-r11-support:
compiler: Don't support the no_binaries option

erts: Test compatibility of funs with R12 instead of R11

The no_constant_pool option was implied by the r11 option. It turns
off the usage of the constant (literal) pool, so that BEAM
instructions that use constants can be loaded in an R11 system.
Since the r11 option has been removed, there is no need to
retain the no_constant_pool option.
