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.
2012-10-09v3_codegen: Combine adjacent bs_match_string instructionsBjörn Gustavsson
In modules with huge functions with many bs_match_string instructions, we can speed up the compilation by combining adjacent bs_match_strings instruction in v3_codegen (as opposed to in beam_block where we used to do it). For instance, on my computer the v3_codegen became more than twice as fast when compiling the re_testoutput1_split_test module in the STDLIB test suites.
2012-10-09beam_bool: Recognize more safe optimizationsBjörn Gustavsson
The optimizer of boolean expressions can often reject optimizations that it does not recognize as safe. For instance, if a boolean expression was preceded by 'move' instructions that saved x registers into y registers, it would almost certainly reject the optimization because it required the y register not be used in the code that follows. Fix this problem by allowing identical 'move' instructions that assing to y registers at the beginning of the old and the optimized code. While at it, correct the spelling of "preceding".
2012-10-09beam_utils: Correct usage calculations for GC BIFs in blocksBjörn Gustavsson
The usage calculation only looked at the allocation in GC BIFs, not at the source and destination registers. Also, if there is a failure label, make sure that we test whether the register can be used there.
2012-10-09beam_utils:live_opt/1: Correct liveness calculation for 'try'Björn Gustavsson
The liveness at the failure label should be ignored, because if there is an exception, all x registers will be killed.
2012-10-09beam_utils: Extend live_opt/1 to recalculate live registers in allocsBjörn Gustavsson
The code generator uses conservative liveness information. Therefore the number of live registers in allocation instructions (such as test_heap/2) may be too high. Use the actual liveness information to lower the number of live register if it's too high. The main reason we want to do this is to enable more optimizations that depend on liveness analysis, such as the beam_bool and beam_dead passes.
2012-10-09beam_utils: Check liveness in catches and try/catch blocksBjörn Gustavsson
Less conservative liveness analysis allows more optimizations to be applied (such as the ones in beam_bool).
2012-10-09v3_codegen: Clarify code generation for binary constructionBjörn Gustavsson
Add some comments to make the code generation for binary construction somewhat clearer. Also get rid of the cg_bo_newregs/2 function that serves no useful purpose. (It was probably intended to undo the effect of cg_live/2, but note that the value passed to cg_bo_newregs/2 has not passed through cg_live/2.)

Column numbers was merged without understanding all the whole story. See mail on erlang-patches for details. This reverts commit df8e67e203b83f95d1e098fec88ad5d0ad840069, reversing changes made to 0c9d90f314f364e5b1301ec89d762baabc57c7aa.
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.)

2012-08-06compiler: Eliminate EXIT messages from the temporary compiler processBjörn Gustavsson
If a process trap exits, calling the compiler would leave an EXIT message in the message queue of the calling process because the compiler spawns a temporary work process. Eliminate the EXIT process by monitoring the temporary process instead of linking to it. Reported-by: Jeremy Heater

2012-03-14v3_life: Use common code for guards and bodiesBjörn Gustavsson
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: 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.

* ks/compile_info-fix: compiler: Fix discrepancy in compile_info OTP-9917
2012-02-20Fix discrepancy in compile_infoKostis Sagonas
The BEAM disassembler used the atom 'none' to signify the absence of a compile_info chunk in a .beam file. This clashes with the type declaration of the compile_info field of a #beam_file{} record as containing a list. Use [] to signify the absence of this chunk. This simplifies the code and avoids a dialyzer warning. For fixing a similar problem and for consistency, changed also the return type of the attributes field of the #beam_file{} record. This required a change in the beam_disasm test suite.
2012-02-13compiler: Teach the inliner to preserve on_load functionsBjörn Gustavsson
The inliner was ignorant of on_load functions and would discard them (unless they were exported or referenced). Noticed-by: Yiannis Tsiouris <[email protected]>
2012-01-18compiler: Correct live calculation when get/1 is used in try...catchBjörn Gustavsson
In the following code excerpt, the instruction marked below was incorrectly removed: . . . {'try',{y,2},{f,TryCaseLabel}}. {bif,get,{f,0},[{x,0}],{x,0}}. {move,{x,1},{y,0}}. {move,{x,3},{y,1}}. <======= Incorrectly removed {jump,{f,TryEndLabel}}. {label,TryEndLabel}. {try_end,{y,2}}. {deallocate,3}. return. {label,TryCaseLabel}. {try_case,{y,2}}. . . . beam_utils indicated that {y,1} was not used at TryEndLabel, which by itself is correct. But it is still not safe to remove the instruction, because {y,1} might be used at TryCaseLabel if an exception occurs. Noticed-by: Eric Merritt
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.
