2011-08-16v3_kernel: Make sure that line number annotations are passed throughBjörn Gustavsson
2011-08-16Fix binary matching in the debuggerBjörn Gustavsson
'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.
2010-12-21compiler: Don't include -export_type as attributes in BEAM filesBjörn Gustavsson
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.
2010-05-12Remove opaque declarations from the attributesBjörn Gustavsson
-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.
2010-03-26Consistently rewrite an inlined function_clause exception to case_clauseBjörn Gustavsson
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.

2010-03-22compiler: Don't support the no_constant_pool optionBjörn Gustavsson
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.
