2016-04-14v3_kernel: Construct literal lists properlyBjörn Gustavsson
Use cerl:make_list/1 instead of a home-made make_list/1 to ensure that literal lists are constructed as literals. In a future release, we would like to forbid in the loader construction of literal lists using instructions like: put_list {atom,a} [] Dst The proper way is: move {literal,[a]} {x,0} Also update the comment about "put_list Const [] Dst" in ops.tab.

2015-11-11v3_kernel: Speed up compilation of modules with many funsBjörn Gustavsson
Using a map to store the number of free variables for funs instead of an orddict will speed up the v3_kernel pass for modules with a huge number of funs (such as NBAP-PDU-Contents in the asn1 test suite).

2015-05-21compiler: Use cerl_sets instead of sets in v3_kernelBjörn-Egil Dahlberg
2015-04-22v3_kernel: Optimize subst_vsub/3Björn Gustavsson
Profiling shows that subst_vsub/3 dominates the running time. It is therefore worthwhile optimizing it.
2015-03-09v3_core: Add is_map tests before map instructionsBjörn Gustavsson
If we have a sequence of put_map_* instructions operating on the same map, it will be more efficient if we can have one is_map/2 instruction before put_map_* instructions, so that each put_map_* does not need to test whether the argument is a map.
2015-02-12Eliminate use of core_lib:literal_value/1Björn Gustavsson
Essentially, core_lib:literal_value/1 became useless when literals were introduced in R12. Since we always create #c_literal{} records whenever possible, literal_value/1 would *only* succeed when it was passed a #c_literal{} argument.
2015-01-29Move grouping of map constructions from v3_core to v3_kernelBjörn Gustavsson
When translating a function with map construction: f(A) -> B = b, C = c, #{A=>1,B=>2,C=>3}. v3_core would break apart the map construction into three parts because of the way the map instructions in BEAM work -- variable keys need to be in their own instruction. In the example, constant propagation will turn two of the keys to literal keys. But the initial breaking apart will not be undone, so there will still be three map constructions: 'f'/1 = fun (_cor0) -> let <_cor3> = ~{::<_cor0,1>}~ in let <_cor4> = ~{::<'b',2>|_cor3}~ in ~{::<'c',3>|_cor4}~ It would be possible to complicate the sys_core_fold pass to regroup map operations so that we would get: 'f'/1 = fun (_cor0) -> let <_cor3> = ~{::<_cor0,1>}~ in ~{::<'b',2>,::<'c',3>|_cor3}~ A simpler way that allows to simplify the translation is to skip the grouping in v3_core and translate the function to: 'f'/1 = fun (_cor0) -> ~{::<_cor0,1>,::<'b',2>,::<'c',3>}~ We will then let v3_kernel do the grouping while translating from Core Erlang to Kernel Erlang.
2014-08-22compiler: Use variables in Map kernel passBjörn-Egil Dahlberg
2014-03-25compiler: Variable keys are not allowed in MapsBjörn-Egil Dahlberg
No need to check for variables in Map keys.
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: Validate Map srcBjörn-Egil Dahlberg
Reject all expressions that are known to fail. Emit 'badarg' for those expressions. Ex. []#{ a => 1} Is not a valid map update expression.

2014-02-07compiler: Fix codegen multiple updates for MapsBjörn-Egil Dahlberg
This fixes an error on multiple updates optimization for map pairs. The error was introduced with moving to term order in Maps. This also fixes an error where register life time was lost for values and could result in erroneuos values being emitted in for map pairs. Simplified v3_codegen by moving multiple update optimizations to v3_kernel.

2014-01-28compiler: Implement support for exact Op in MapsBjörn-Egil Dahlberg
The syntax is handled upto v3_kernel where it is reduced to previous behaviour for construction and updates. Meaning, the ':=' operator is handled exactly as '=>' operator.

Also imported lists:last/1, and removed the local definition.
2013-09-12Remove ^L characters hidden randomly in the code. Not those used in text ↵Pierre Fenoll
files as delimiters. While working on a tool that processes Erlang code and testing it against this repo, I found out about those little sneaky 0xff. I thought it may be of help to other people build such tools to remove non-conforming-to-standard characters.
2013-09-05compiler: Conform returned errors to the documented formatBjörn Gustavsson
ErrorInfo is documented to be: {ErrorLine,Module,ErrorDescriptor} but for some errors with line numbers it would look like: {Module,ErrorDescriptor} Ensure that all ErrorInfo tuples have three elements. Use 'none' instead of a line number: {none,Module,ErrorDescriptor} There already are errors that return 'none' when no line number is available, but that convention was not documented. Mention it in the documentation. Also make sure that the compiler will not print 'none' as a line number in error messages (if the 'report_errors' option is given) as that looks stupid. That is, when attempting to compile a non-existing module, the error message should be: non-existing.erl: no such file or directory and not: non-existing.erl:none: no such file or directory

2013-01-23Revert "Merge branch 'nox/rm-reverse-eta-conversion/OTP-10682'"Fredrik Gustafsson
This reverts commit 750ecdea08fa5fa7e32b7f3019eed96c1699427e, reversing changes made to 2cfa0466c3b3c7bd5e3621aff0f3e2ca30addb68.
2012-12-03Remove the reverse eta-conversion from v3_kernelAnthony Ramine
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.
2012-10-09v3_kernel: Fix match code for matched out segment size in multiple clausesBjörn Gustavsson
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.
2012-10-09Improve binary matching of literalsBjörn Gustavsson
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.
2012-08-22compiler: Warn if the size of a binary segment is invalidBjörn Gustavsson
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.)

2012-03-14v3_core: Don't put negative line numbers in annotationsBjörn Gustavsson
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.
2012-03-14v3_kernel: Dig out the line number only when generating a warningBjörn Gustavsson
2012-03-14v3_kernel: Clean up handling of guardsBjörn Gustavsson
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.
2012-01-11v3_kernel: Introduce is_in_guard/1Björn Gustavsson
2012-01-11v3_kernel: Removed unreached clause for #k_bin_int{} in sub_size_var/1Björn Gustavsson
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.
2012-01-11v3_kernel: Remove unreached handling of #k_bin_int{} in arg_con/1Björn Gustavsson
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.
2012-01-11v3_codegen: Eliminate the special case of 'put' without destinationBjörn Gustavsson
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.
2012-01-11v3_kernel: Don't attempt to share identical literalsBjörn Gustavsson
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.
2012-01-11v3_kernel: Handle sequences in guardsBjörn Gustavsson
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.
2012-01-11v3_kernel: Remove clauses that are never executed in arg_val/1Björn Gustavsson
arg_val/1 will never be called for single-valued types, so there is no need handle these types.

2012-01-04Eliminate the match_fail primop in v3_kernel and later passesBjörn Gustavsson
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. Noticed-by: Håkan Matsson Minimized-test-case-by: Erik Søe Sørensen
