b89044a800c4 introduced an optimization that tries to delay creation
of stack frames. It turns out that this optimization is not always
safe. (See the new test case for an example.)
Since the code generator is completely rewritten in the `master`
branch for the upcoming OTP 22 release, it does not make sense trying
to mend this optimization. It is better to remove it. Out of a sample
of about 1000 modules in OTP, about 50 of them are changed as a result
of removing this optimization.
The compiler in OTP 22 will do the same optimization in a cleaner,
safer, and more effective way.
https://bugs.erlang.org/browse/ERL-807
|

The `sys_core_fold` pass of the compiler would optimize
away the building of the stacktrace in code such as:
try
...
catch
C:R:Stk ->
erlang:raise(C, {R,Stk}, Stk)
end
That optimization is unsafe and would cause a crash in a later compiler
pass.
|
|
There could be an internal consistency failure when using is_function/2,
because an optimization did not take into account that is_function/2 can fail.

`beam_jump` could remove a `put_tuple` instruction when the
tuple would not be used, but it would leave the following
`put` instructions. Make sure they are removed.

beam_utils: Handle bs_start_match2 in anno_defs
|
|
|
|
The source file path as given to `erlc` was included in an implicit
file attribute inserted by epp, even when the +source flag was
set to something else which was a bit surprising. It was also
included when +deterministic was specified, breaking the flag's
promise.
This commit forwards the +source flag to epp so it inserts the
right information, and if +deterministic is given it will be shaved
to just the base name of the file, guaranteeing the same result
regardless of how the input is reached.

2e40d8d1c51a attempted fix a bug in binary matching, but it only
fixed the bug for the minimized test case.
This commit removes the previous fix and fixes the bug in a more
effective way. See the comments in the new code in `sys_core_bsm`
for an explanation.
This commit restores the optimizations in string.erl and dets_v9.erl
that the previous fix disabled.
I have not found any code where this commit will disable optimizations
when they are actually safe. There are some changes to the code
in ssl_cipher.erl in that some bs_start_match2 instruction did not
reuse the binary register for the match context, but the delayed
sub binary optimizations was never applied to the code in the first
place.

Include paths don't actually affect code generation in any way, but
it's reasonable for a build tool like rebar3 to recompile when the
include paths change. This commit restores the old behavior without
the +deterministic flag.

dialyzer: Improve handling of complex guards
|
|
See also https://bugs.erlang.org/browse/ERL-680.
The right associative short circuit expressions 'andalso' and 'orelse'
are expanded by the Compiler (see v3_core) into 'case' expressions. If
parentheses are used to enforce left associativeness, variables are
introduced, and the time needed by Dialyzer increases exponentially.
Rather than trying to fix Dialyzer itself, v3_core now rewrites
repeated use of 'andalso' ('orelse') into right associative
expressions before creating the 'case' expressions.

Make sure that beam_validator considers a call to is_map_key/2
followed by an update of the same map without an is_map/1 test
safe. (This situation will probably not be encountered when
using the compiler in OTP 21, but better safe than sorry.)
|
|
The compiler would crash when compiling a function with two
receive statements.
https://bugs.erlang.org/browse/ERL-703
|

Consider the following functions:
foo() -> bar(not_a_map).
bar(M) when not is_map_key(a, M) -> ok;
bar(_) -> error.
What will `foo/0` return? It depends. If the module is compiled
with the default compiler options, the return value will be
`ok`. If the module is compiled with the `inline` option,
the return value will be `error`.
The correct value is `error`, because the call to `is_map_key/2`
when the second argument is not a map should fail the entire
guard. That is the way other failing guards BIFs are handled.
For example:
foo() -> bar(not_a_tuple).
bar(T) when not element(1, T) -> ok;
bar(_) -> error.
`foo/0` always returns `error` (whether the code is inlined
or not).
This bug can be fixed by changing the classification of `is_map_key/2`
in the `erl_internal` module. It is now classified as a type test,
which is incorrect because type tests should not fail. Reclassifying
it as a plain guard BIF corrects the bug.
This correction also fixes the internal consistency check
failure which was reported in:

Omit include path debug info for +deterministic builds
|

Compiling the same file with different include paths resulted in
different files with the `+deterministic` flag even if everything
but the paths were identical. This was caused by the absolute path
of each include directory being unconditionally included in a
debug information chunk.
This commit fixes this by only including this information in
non-deterministic builds.

bjorng/bjorn/compiler/letrec-side-effect-fix/ERL-658/OTP-15188
Fix side-effect optimization when compiling from Core Erlang
|
|
The compiler generates incorrect code for the following example:
decode_binary(_, <<Length, Data/binary>>) ->
case {Length, Data} of
{0, _} ->
%% When converting the match context back to a binary,
%% Data will be set to the entire original binary,
%% that is, to <<0>> instead of <<>>.
{{0, 0, 0}, Data};
{4, <<Y:16/little, M, D, Rest/binary>>} ->
{{Y, M, D}, Rest}
end.
The problem is the delayed sub binary creation optimization, which
is not safe to do in this case.
This commit introduces a heuristic that will disable the delayed
sub binary creation optimization for this example. Unfortunately, the
heuristic may turn off the optimization when it would actually be
safe. In the OTP codebase, the optimization is turned off in two
instances, once in string.erl and once in dets_v9.erl.

Eliminate double computation of next var
|
|
When an expression is only used for its side effects, we try to
remove everything that doesn't tie into a side-effect, but we
went a bit too far when we applied the optimization to funs
defined in such a context. Consider the following:
do letrec 'f'/0 = fun () -> ... whatever ...
in call 'side':'effect'(apply 'f'/0())
'ok'
When f/0 is optimized under the assumption that its return value
is unused, side:effect/1 will be fed the result of the last
side-effecting expression in f/0 instead of its actual result.

Referencing a matched-out variable in a size expression makes it
impossible to calculate the size of the result based on the size of
the matched binary. The compiler would still generate code to do
this however, which would crash since the variable isn't defined
at the size calculation.

Code such as that the following:
Val = map_get(a, Map),
Map#{a:=z} %Could be any map update
would incorrectly cause an internal consistency check failure:

beam_type assumed that the operand for the bs_context_to_binary
instruction must be a binary. That is not correct;
bs_context_to_binary accepts anything. Based on the incorrect
assumption, beam_type would remove other test instructions.

to be just a refactoring commit.

The compiler would crash when compiling code such as:
serialize(#{tag := value, id := Id, domain := Domain}) ->
[case Id of
nil ->
error(id({required, id}));
_ ->
<<10, 1:16/signed, Id:16/signed>>
end,
case Domain of
nil ->
error(id({required, domain}));
_ ->
<<8, 2:16/signed, Domain:32/signed>>
end].
The crash would look like this:
Function: serialize/1
t.erl: internal error in block2;
crash reason: {badmatch,false}
in function beam_utils:live_opt/4 (beam_utils.erl, line 861)
in call from beam_utils:live_opt/1 (beam_utils.erl, line 285)
in call from beam_block:function/2 (beam_block.erl, line 47)
in call from beam_block:'-module/2-lc$^0/1-0-'/2 (beam_block.erl, line 33)
in call from beam_block:'-module/2-lc$^0/1-0-'/2 (beam_block.erl, line 33)
in call from beam_block:module/2 (beam_block.erl, line 33)
in call from compile:block2/2 (compile.erl, line 1358)
in call from compile:'-internal_comp/5-anonymous-1-'/3 (compile.erl, line 349)
The reason for the crash is an assertion failure caused by a previous
unsafe optimization. Here is the code before the unsafe optimization:
.
.
.
{bs_init2,{f,0},7,0,0,{field_flags,[]},{x,1}}.
{bs_put_string,3,{string,[8,0,2]}}.
{bs_put_integer,{f,0},{integer,32},1,{field_flags,[signed,big]},{y,1}}.
{move,{x,1},{x,0}}.
{test_heap,4,1}.
.
.
.
beam_block:move_allocate/1 moved up the test_heap/2 instruction past the
move/2 instruction, adjusting the number of live registers at the same
time:
.
.
.
{bs_init2,{f,0},7,0,0,{field_flags,[]},{x,1}}.
%% Only x1 is live now.
{bs_put_string,3,{string,[8,0,2]}}.
{bs_put_integer,{f,0},{integer,32},1,{field_flags,[signed,big]},{y,1}}.
{test_heap,4,2}. %Unsafe. x0 is dead.
{move,{x,1},{x,0}}.
.
.
.
This optimization is unsafe because the bs_init2 instruction killed
x0.
The bug is in beam_utils:anno_defs/1, which adds annotations indicating
the registers that are defined at the beginning of each block. The
annotation before the move/2 instruction incorrectly indicated that
x0 was live.

Fix name capture problem in sys_core_fold
OTP-15115
|
|
We have found cases where compilation drastically slows down
due to this commit. We are working on a minimal cases and plan
to bring this patch back once we can work our the performance
issues.
This reverts commit f7c9383f4c3d4b6819b5ba4d54c7093df806fe4a.

sys_core_fold could do unsafe transformations on the
code from the old inliner (invoked using the compiler
option `{inline,[{F/A}]}` to request inlining of specific
functions).
To explain the bug, let's first look at an example that
sys_core_fold handles correctly. Consider this code:
'foo'/2 =
fun (Arg1,Arg2) ->
let <B> = Arg2
in let <A,B> = <B,Arg1>
in {A,B}
In this example, the lets can be completely eliminated,
since the arguments for the lets are variables (as opposed
to expressions). Since the variable B is rebound in the
inner let, `sys_core_fold` must take special care when
doing the substitutions.
Here is the correct result:
'foo'/2 =
fun (Arg1, Arg2) ->
{Arg2,Arg1}
Consider a slight modifictation of the example:
'bar'/2 =
fun (Arg1,Arg2) ->
let <B> = [Arg2]
in let <A,B> = <B,[Arg1]>
in {A,B}
Here some of the arguments for the lets are expressions, so
the lets must be kept. sys_core_fold does not handle this
example correctly:
'bar'/2 =
fun (Arg1,Arg2) ->
let <B> = [Arg2]
in let <B> = [Arg1]
in {B,B}
In the inner let, the variable A has been eliminated and
replaced with the variable B in the body (the first B in
the tuple). Since the B in the outer let is never used,
the outer let will be eliminated, giving:
'bar'/2 =
fun (Arg1,Arg2) ->
let <B> = [Arg1]
in {B,B}
To handle this example correctly, sys_core_fold must
rename the variable B in the inner let like this to
avoid capturing B:
'bar'/2 =
fun (Arg1,Arg2) ->
let <B> = [Arg2]
in let <NewName> = [Arg1]
in {B,NewName}
(Note: The `v3_kernel` pass alreday handles those examples correctly
in case `sys_core_fold` has been disabled.)

Add more `compiler_generated` attributes to avoid spurious compiler
warnings triggered by the bug fix in the next commit.

Introduce is_map_key/2 guard BIF
OTP-15037
|
|
See https://github.com/erszcz/docsh/issues/23 for an explanation
about how the files were found.
|
|
|
|
This complements the `map_get/2` guard BIF introduced in #1784.
Rationale.
`map_get/2` allows accessing map fields in guards, but it might be
problematic in more complex guard expressions, for example:
foo(X) when map_get(a, X) =:= 1 or is_list(X) -> ...
The `is_list/1` part of the guard could never succeed since the
`map_get/2` guard would fail the whole guard expression. In this
situation, this could be solved by using `;` instead of `or` to separate
the guards, but it is not possible in every case.
To solve this situation, this PR proposes a `is_map_key/2` guard that
allows to check if a map has key inside a guard before trying to access
that key. When combined with `is_map/1` this allows to construct a
purely boolean guard expression testing a value of a key in a map.
Implementation.
Given the use case motivating the introduction of this function, the PR
contains compiler optimisations that produce optimial code for the
following guard expression:
foo(X) when is_map(X) and is_map_key(a, X) and map_get(a, X) =:= 1 -> ok;
foo(_) -> error.
Given all three tests share the failure label, the `is_map_key/2` and
`is_map/2` tests are optimised away.
As with `map_get/2` the `is_map_key/2` BIF is allowed in match specs.
|
|
When an exception is handled, the stack will be scanned. Therefore
all Y registers must be initialized.
|
|
beam_utils:is_killed/3 could incorrectly indicate that a
register was killed.

Rewrite a call of a literal external fun to a direct call
OTP-15044

number of arguments to a direct call of the fun. For example:
apply(F, [A,B])
would be rewritten to:
F(A, B)
