2011-07-06Remove deprecated concat_binary/1Björn Gustavsson
concat_binary/1 was deprecated in R13B04, but already in the R10B-2 release, the documentation recommends using list_to_binary/1 instead.

2011-04-12beam_bsm: Eliminate uncovered line in warning generationBjörn Gustavsson
In warning_translate_label/2, gb_trees:lookup/2 is called to translate from the entry label for a function to its name. Since the gb_tree has an entry for all functions in the module, there is no way that the lookup can fail unless there is a serious bug. Therefore, use gb_trees:get/2 so that an exception and an internal compiler error will be generated if the lookup would ever fail.
2011-04-12beam_dead: Remove uncovered special case handling of empty blocksBjörn Gustavsson
There is never any empty blocks when beam_dead is invoked. Even if there were, they will be removed a little bit later in forward/4.
2011-04-12beam_dead: Remove uncovered clauses in binary matching optimizationBjörn Gustavsson
In the optimization of binary matching, it seems that two clauses cannot never be reached. Removing the clauses is safe, since that would only mean that an opportunity for an optimization is lost
2011-04-12beam_dead: Remove uncoverable case clause in update_value_dict/3Björn Gustavsson
Because the code generator (v3_codegen) would not include the same value more than once in a select_val/3 instruction and because a label can only be referenced by one select_val/3 instruction, there is no way that the correct value could already be in the gb_tree. (Even if it could happen, this change is safe because only opportunity for an optimization would be missed; incorrect code would not be generated.)
2011-04-12beam_dead: Remove code that cannot be covered in forward/4Björn Gustavsson
Since the optimizations in forward/4 already depends on some assumptions on how code is generated anyway, document the assumptions in a comment and remove the uncoverable code.
2011-03-29beam_dict: Eliminate the redundant next_atom record elementBjörn Gustavsson
It is not needed because it can be trivially calculated using gb_trees:size/1.

2011-03-25sys_core_fold: Eliminate incorrect warningBjörn Gustavsson
The compiler (sys_core_fold) tries to avoid constructing tuples in case expressions. The following code: c(A, B) -> case {A,B} of {ok,X} -> X; {_,_} -> error end. will be rewritten so that no tuple is built. If a clause requires a tuple to be built as in this code: c(A, B) -> case {A,B} of {ok,X} -> X; V -> V %The tuple will be built here end. the tuple will be built in the clause(s) in which it is needed. If the value returned from the case is not used as in this code: c(A, B) -> case {A,B} of V -> V %Warning: a term is constructed, but never used end, ok. there will be an incorrect warning. Basically, what happens is that the code is reduced to: c(A, B) -> {A,B}, %Warning: a term is constructed, but never used ok. and the optimizer sees that the {A,B} tuple can't possibly be used. Eliminate the warning by adding a 'compiler_generated' annotation to the tuple. Reported-by: Kostis Sagonas
2011-03-25sys_core_fold: Be careful to preserve annotations while optimizingBjörn Gustavsson
2011-03-23v3_core: Fix variable incorrectly unbound after binary matchBjörn Gustavsson
In the following code: m(<<Sz:8,_:Sz/binary>>) -> Sz = wrong. the Sz variable is supposed to be bound in the function header and the matching "Sz = wrong" should cause a badarg exception. But what happens is that the Sz variables seems to be unbound and the matching succeds and the m/1 function returns 'wrong'. If the Sz variable is used directly (not matched), it will have the expected value. Thus the following code: m(<<Sz:8,_:Sz/binary>>) -> Sz. will correctly return the value of Sz that was matched out from the binary. Reported-by: Bernard Duggan

* jp/dependencies_makefile: Add dependencies Makefile generation to erlc(1) and compile(3) Conflicts: lib/compiler/test/compile_SUITE.erl OTP-9065
2011-02-18Add dependencies Makefile generation to erlc(1) and compile(3)Jean-Sébastien Pédron
This is useful when a project is built with Makefiles and erlc(1) instead of EMakefiles. Tracking dependencies by hand is error-prone and it becomes painful when using external application headers like EUnit's one. A dependencies Makefile will look like this: module.beam: module.erl \ /usr/local/lib/erlang/lib/eunit-2.1.4/include/eunit.hrl \ header.hrl When included in the main Makefile, 'module' will be recompiled only when needed. GCC offers the same feature and new erlc(1) options are compatible with it. More informations at: http://wiki.github.com/dumbbell/otp/dependencies-makefile
2011-02-14compile: Refactor handling of source options (e.g. 'from_core')Björn Gustavsson
The options for compiling from Core Erlang, BEAM assembler files, and BEAM files are handled in several places, making it difficult to change or add more similar options. Refactor the option handling so that each option only need to be handled in one place.

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.
2010-12-02beam_utils: Fix check_liveness/3 for receive loopsBjörn Gustavsson
Sometimes the beam_bool pass wants to know whether an y register will be killed by the code that follows and will do (effectively): beam_utils:is_killed({y,Y}, Code, L) When asked to calculate the liveness for an y register, beam_utils:is_killed/3 will loop forever if the code includes a receive loop. Since this rarely occurs, fix the problem in the simplest and most conservative way. Reported-by: Christopher Williams
2010-11-26beam_utils: Fix liveness analysis for gc_bif instructionsBjörn Gustavsson
When gc_bif instructions occurred outside of a block, beam_utils:check_liveness/3 did not take into account that the instruction could do a garbage collection, and could falsely report that an x register would be killed. That could cause the beam_dead pass to make the code unsafe by removing the assignment to an x register that would subsequently be referenced by the garbage collector.

2010-10-12beam_block: Do optimizations in the safe orderBjörn Gustavsson
Moving of allocation instructions upwards in the instruction stream (in order to enable further optimizations) in beam_block, is implemented with the assumption that if a register {x,X} contains a valid term, then all other x register with lower numbers than X also contain valid terms. That assumption is true after code generation. The beam_utils:live_opt/1 optimization, however, may invalidate that assumption. For instance, if a receive statement exports a variable that is used, but the return value of the receive statement is not used, then {x,1} but not {x,0} contains a valid term at the end of the receive statement. If the receive statement is followed by {bif,self,{f,0},[],{x,0}}. {test_heap,NumberOfWords,2}. moving the allocation upwards will produce {test_heap,NumberOfWords,2}. {bif,self,{f,0},[],{x,0}}. which will cause the beam_validator pass to scream loudly that {x,0} is not live at the test_heap instruction. Fix the problem by doing the optimizations in reverse order. Reported-by: Jim Engquist

2010-09-23Fix compiler crash when constructing zero-size binary segmentsBjörn Gustavsson
Code such as foo(A) -> <<A:0>>. would cause a compiler crash.
2010-09-22Don't generate multiple tail segments in binary matchingBjörn Gustavsson
In binary matching, there must only be one "tail segment" (i.e. a size-less segment of type binary) and it must be last. Thus, the compiler will reject the following function definition: foo(<<A/bits,B/bits>>) -> ok. But code such as the following: [42 || <<_:8/integer, _/bits>> <= Bits] will internally (in the Core Erlang format) be translated to a binary matching pattern containing two tail segments. The compiler happens to generate correct code anyway (later passes will get rid of the redundant tail segment), but it is ugly and will confuse tools such as Dialyzer. Change the transformation of binary generators (in both list and binary comprehensions) not to generate add a tail segment if there already is one.
2010-09-22Factor out some of the code for binary generatorsBjörn Gustavsson
In the code for handling binary generators (in list and binary comprehensions), factor out the code for appending a match-all tail segment onto a pattern into a separate function. That will only make the code somewhat simpler, but will facilitate fixing a bug/misfeture in the next commit.

2010-07-29beam_asm: Simplify string table generation for beamsPaul Guyot
The code for generating the string table (which is now only used for bit syntax matching) in a BEAM file is quite complicated and potentially expensive when compiling modules with many thousands of clauses doing bit syntax matching. Simplify and optimize the code using bit syntax and binary:match/2 instead of the list operations in the original code.

The pre R14 behaviour was that autoimported BIFs would override local functions. To avoid that old programs change behaviour, the following will generate an error: Doing a call without explicit module name to a local function having a name clashing with the name of an autoimported BIF that was present (and autoimported) before OTP R14A Explicitly importing a function having a name clashing with the name of an autoimported BIF that was present (and autoimported) before OTP R14A Using any form of the old compiler directive nowarn_bif_clash If the BIF was added or autoimported in OTP R14A or later, overriding it with an import or a local function will only result in a warning, To resolve clashes, you can either use the explicit module name erlang to call the BIF, or you can remove the autoimport of that specific BIF by using the new compiler directive -compile({no_auto_import,[F/A]})., which makes all calls to the local or imported function without explicit module name pass without warnings or errors. The change makes it possible to add autoimported BIFs without breaking or silently changing old code in the future. However some current code ingeniously utilizing the old behaviour or the nowarn_bif_clash compiler directive, might need changing to be accepted by the compiler.
