2017-12-07v3_codegen: Simplify #k_guard_break{}Björn Gustavsson
It turns out that we don't need to keep track of locked variables, because the locked variables are always the same variables that will be alive after a #k_guard_break{}.
2017-10-27Eliminate the v3_life passBjörn Gustavsson
The v3_life pass does not do enough to be worth being its own pass. Essentially it does two things: * Calculates life-time information starting from the annotations that v3_kernel provides. That part can be moved into v3_codegen. * Rewrites the Kernel Erlang records to similar plain tuples (for example, #k_cons{hd=Hd,tl=Tl} is rewritten to {cons,Hd,Tl}). That rewriting is not needed and can be eliminated.
2016-11-18v3_kernel: Generate optimized code for guardsBjörn Gustavsson
The compiler produces poor code for complex guard expressions with andalso/orelse. Here is an example from the filename module: -define(IS_DRIVELETTER(Letter),(((Letter >= $A) andalso (Letter =< $Z)) orelse ((Letter >= $a) andalso (Letter =< $z)))). skip_prefix(Name, false) -> Name; skip_prefix([L, DrvSep|Name], DrvSep) when ?IS_DRIVELETTER(L) -> Name; skip_prefix(Name, _) -> Name. beam_bool fails to simplify the code for the guard, leaving several 'bif' instructions: {function, skip_prefix, 2, 49}. {label,48}. {line,[{location,"filename.erl",187}]}. {func_info,{atom,filename},{atom,skip_prefix},2}. {label,49}. {test,is_ne_exact,{f,52},[{x,1},{atom,false}]}. {test,is_nonempty_list,{f,52},[{x,0}]}. {get_list,{x,0},{x,2},{x,3}}. {test,is_nonempty_list,{f,52},[{x,3}]}. {get_list,{x,3},{x,4},{x,5}}. {bif,'=:=',{f,52},[{x,1},{x,4}],{x,6}}. {test,is_ge,{f,50},[{x,2},{integer,65}]}. {bif,'=<',{f,52},[{x,2},{integer,90}],{x,7}}. {test,is_eq_exact,{f,51},[{x,7},{atom,false}]}. {test,is_ge,{f,50},[{x,2},{integer,97}]}. {bif,'=<',{f,52},[{x,2},{integer,122}],{x,7}}. {jump,{f,51}}. {label,50}. {move,{atom,false},{x,7}}. {label,51}. {bif,'=:=',{f,52},[{x,7},{atom,true}],{x,7}}. {test,is_eq_exact,{f,52},[{x,6},{atom,true}]}. {test,is_eq_exact,{f,52},[{x,7},{atom,true}]}. {move,{x,5},{x,0}}. return. {label,52}. return. We can add optimizations of guard tests to v3_kernel to achive a better result: {function, skip_prefix, 2, 49}. {label,48}. {line,[{location,"filename.erl",187}]}. {func_info,{atom,filename},{atom,skip_prefix},2}. {label,49}. {test,is_ne_exact,{f,51},[{x,1},{atom,false}]}. {test,is_nonempty_list,{f,51},[{x,0}]}. {get_list,{x,0},{x,2},{x,3}}. {test,is_nonempty_list,{f,51},[{x,3}]}. {get_list,{x,3},{x,4},{x,5}}. {test,is_eq_exact,{f,51},[{x,1},{x,4}]}. {test,is_ge,{f,51},[{x,2},{integer,65}]}. {test,is_lt,{f,50},[{integer,90},{x,2}]}. {test,is_ge,{f,51},[{x,2},{integer,97}]}. {test,is_ge,{f,51},[{integer,122},{x,2}]}. {label,50}. {move,{x,5},{x,0}}. return. {label,51}. return. Looking at the STDLIB application, there were 112 lines of BIF calls in guards that beam_bool failed to convert to test instructions. This commit eliminates all those BIF calls. Here is how I counted the instructions: $ PATH=$ERL_TOP/bin:$PATH erlc -I ../include -I ../../kernel/include -S *.erl $ grep "bif,'[=<>]" *.S | grep -v f,0 dets.S: {bif,'=:=',{f,547},[{x,4},{atom,read_write}],{x,4}}. dets.S: {bif,'=:=',{f,547},[{x,5},{atom,saved}],{x,5}}. dets.S: {bif,'=:=',{f,589},[{x,5},{atom,read}],{x,5}}. . . . $ grep "bif,'[=<>]" *.S | grep -v f,0 | wc 112 224 6765 $
2016-09-21v3_life: Eliminate special handling of guardsBjörn Gustavsson
Remove the special handling #k_try{} in guards in v3_life. If we introduce a new #k_protected{} record in v3_kernel, v3_life no longer needs to know whether it is processing guards or bodies.

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.
