Local function references should be handled directly as a make_fun
internal BIF call instead of creating an extra lambda function every
time they are used.

When matched variable is used as a size field in multiple clauses,
as in:
foo(<<L:8,A:L>>) -> A;
foo(<<L:8,A:L,B:8>>) -> {A,B}.
the match tree would branch out before the segment that used the
matched-out variable (in this example, the tree would branch out before
the matching of A:L). That happens because the pattern matching
compilator did not take variable substitutions into account when
grouping clauses that match the same value.
That is, the generated code would work similarly to this code:
foo(<<L:8,T/binary>>) ->
case T of
<<A:L>> ->
A;
_ ->
case T of
<<A:L,B:8>> -> %% A matched out again!
{A,B}
end
end.
We would like the matching to work more like:
foo(<<L,A:L,T/binary>>) ->
case T of
<<>> -> A;
<<B:8>> -> {A,B}
end.
Fix the problem by taking the substitutions into account when grouping
clauses that match out the same value.

The bs_match_string instruction is used to speed up matching of
binary literals. For example, given this source code:
foo1(<<1,2,3>>) -> ok.
The matching part of the code will look like:
{test,bs_start_match2,{f,1},1,[{x,0},0],{x,0}}.
{test,bs_match_string,{f,3},[{x,0},24,{string,[1,2,3]}]}.
{test,bs_test_tail2,{f,3},[{x,0},0]}.
Nice. However, if we do a simple change to the source code:
foo2(<<1,2,3>>) -> ok;
foo2(<<>>) -> error.
the resulting matching code will look like (sligthly simplified):
{test,bs_start_match2,{f,4},1,[{x,0},0],{x,0}}.
{test,bs_get_integer2,{f,7},1,[{x,0},{integer,8},1,Flags],{x,1}}.
{test,is_eq_exact,{f,8},[{x,1},{integer,1}]}.
{test,bs_match_string,{f,6},[{x,0},16,{string,[2,3]}]}.
{test,bs_test_tail2,{f,6},[{x,0},0]}.
{move,{atom,ok},{x,0}}.
return.
{label,6}.
{bs_restore2,{x,0},{atom,start}}.
{label,7}.
{test,bs_test_tail2,{f,8},[{x,0},0]}.
That is, matching of the first byte is not combined into the
bs_match_string instruction that follows.
Fix this problem by allowing a bs_match_string instruction to be
used if all clauses will match either the same integer literal or
the empty binary.

The compiler would silently accept and Dialyzer would crash on
code like:
<<X:(2.5)>>
It is never acceptable for Dialyzer to crash. The compiler should
at least generate a warning for such code. It is tempting to let
the compiler generate an error, but that would mean that code like:
Sz = 42.0,
<<X:Sz>>.
would be possible to compile with optimizations disabled, but not
with optimizations enabled.
Dialyzer crashes because it calls cerl:bitstr_bitsize/1, which
crashes if the type of size for the segment is invalid. The easiest
way to avoid that crash is to extend the sanity checks in v3_core
to also include the size field of binary segments. That will cause
the compiler to issue a warning and to replace the bad binary
construction with a call to erlang:error/1. (It also means that
Dialyzer will not issue a warning for bad size fields.)

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.

Handling of guards become a mess when andalso/orelse in guards
were introduced. Clean it up by using common code for most
constructs, regardless of where they occur, and when needed use
is_in_guard/1 to handle guard constructs differently.

The size field of a #k_bin_int{} is always a literal integer
(#k_int{}); thus there is no way this clause can match.
While we are at it, remove a duplicated call to
select_assert_match_possible/3 in select_bin_int/1.
|
|
arg_con/1 will never be called with #k_bin_int{} argument, since
a #k_bin_int{} is constructed out of #k_bin_seg{} only after
arg_con/1 has been called with a #k_bin_seg{} argument.
|
|
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.
|
|
It is unlikely that sharing literals will actually save any time.
Literals that can be shared are usually small. It is more likely
that maintaining the dictionary of literals will waste time.

A guard with a sequence will cause a crash in v3_codegen. Currently,
it seems that a sequence in a guard will never happen when compiling
from Erlang code, but there are several reasons to fix this problem
anyway:
* There are other compilers that generate Core Erlang code.
* Changes to sys_core_fold (perhaps additional optimizations) may
cause sequences to be generated in guards.
* A previously uncovered line in sys_core_fold:opt_guard_try/1 will
now be covered.

arg_val/1 will never be called for single-valued types, so there
is no need handle these types.

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.

Now that beam_asm computes the Index and Uniq values for funs, there
is no need to compute those values in the sys_pre_expand and v3_kernel
modules, thus eliminating the calls to the deprecated erlang:hash/2
function.
It would be tempting to stop generating the name for the fun in
sys_pre_expand so that we did not have to add the Info field to a tuple.
But:
* The debugger depends on the name being there. (Simple solution:
Let the debugger generate the name itself.)
* When a fun has been inlined into another function, the fun name in
'id' annotation will be used to notice the inlining and change the
final clause of the top-level case from generating a 'function_clause'
exception to a case_clause exception. (Possible workaround: Have the
inliner set an inlined attribute on functions that have been inlined, or
have the inliner rewrite 'function_clause' exceptions itself.)

'eval_bits' is a common utility module used for evaluting binary
construction and matching. The functions that do matching
(match_bits/{6,7} and bin_gen/6) are supposed to treat the bindings as
an abstract data type, but they assume that the bindings have the same
representation as in the erl_eval module. That may cause binary
matching to fail in the debugger, because the debugger represents the
bindings as an unordered list of two-tuples, while the erl_eval
modules uses an ordered list of two-tuple (an ordset).
One way to fix the problem would be to let the debugger to use ordered
lists to represent the bindings. Unfortunately, that would also change
how the bindings are presented in the user interface. Currently, the
variable have most been recently assigned is shown first, which is
convenient.
Fix the matching problem by mending the leaky abstraction in
eval_bits. The matching functions needs to be passed two additional
operations: one for looking up a variable in the bindings and one for
adding a binding. Those operations could be passed as two more funs
(in addition to the evaluation and match fun already passed), but the
functions already have too many arguments. Therefore, change the
meaning of the match fun, so that the first argument is the operation
to perform ('match', 'binding', or 'add_binding') and second argument
is a tuple with arguments for the operation.

Similar to -spec and -type, -export_type should be not be included
as attributes (and therefore loaded) in BEAM files, but only in
the abstract code chunk.
|
|
-opaque declarations should not be retained in the attributes
(because they will be loaded along with the code and are not
useful).
While at it, filter away those Dialyzer attributes as early
as possible - in v3_kernel.

A function_clause exception is generated by jumping to a func_info/3
instruction at the beginning of the function. The x registers are
assumed to contain the arguments for the function. That means
that a func_info/3 instruction copied from another function
(or even from the same function if not at the top level) will
not work, so it must be replaced with an instruction that
generates a case_clause exception.
In Core Erlang, a func_info/3 instruction is represented as
a the primop match_fail({function_clause,Arg1,...ArgN}).
The current mechanism that is supposed to replace the
primop match_fail(function_clause) with match_fail(case_clause)
will fail to do that in the following circumstances:
1. If the inliner has inlined a function into itself.
Fix that by having the inliner clear the function_name annotations
on all match_fail primops in functions that are inlined. (To simplify
doing that, the annotation is now on the primop node itself and not on
the 'function_clause' atom inside it.)
2. If the inliner has rewritten the tuple node in the primop node
to a literal (when inlining a function call with literal arguments),
v3_kernel would not recognize the match_fail(function_clause) primop
and would not rewrite it. Fix it by making v3_kernel smarter.
Also simplify the "old" inliner (sys_core_inline) to only clear
the function_name annotations instead of rewriting function_clause
execptions to case_clause execptions itself.

* bg/compiler-remove-r11-support:
compiler: Don't support the no_binaries option
erts: Don't support the put_string/3 instruction
compiler: Don't support the no_constant_pool option
compiler: Don't support the r11 option
test_server: Don't support communication with R11 nodes
binary_SUITE: Don't test bit-level binary roundtrips with R11 nodes
erts: Test compatibility of funs with R12 instead of R11
OTP-8531 bg/compiler-remove-r11-support

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.
