2015-05-22sys_core_fold: Eliminate warnings for unused terms in effect contextBjörn Gustavsson
The optimization introduced in 0a0d39d351fc could cause spurious warnings of the type: "a term is constructed, but never used". That would happen for constructs in effect context. To avoid those warnings, we will need to apply warning suppression also in effect context.

2015-05-21compiler: Use Maps as type informationBjörn-Egil Dahlberg
Using Maps as type information container speedups files like cow_http_hd.erl by ~500ms. Previously spent ~60% of the time in orddict:store/3.

2015-05-21Don't make 'compiler' dependent on 'tools'Björn Gustavsson
In a5d724cf240a, a debug option for running eprof on a specific compiler pass was added. That commit added a direct call to the eprof module in the tools application, and therefore the test case otp_SUITE:runtime_dependencies/1 would fail because xref would find a call to the tools application, but tools is not listed as a runtime dependency in compiler.app. Since the 'eprof' option is only likely to be used by compiler maintainers, we don't want a real dependency to the tools application. Therefore, use c:appcall/4 to hide the call to the eprof module (and to report the error nicely if the tools application is missing).
2015-05-21compiler: Teach beam_bsm get_map_elements instructionBjörn-Egil Dahlberg
Allows for 'creation of sub binary delayed' optimization if map instructions are in a clause. Reported-by: José Valim
2015-05-13sys_core_fold: Eliminate warnings for unused termsBjörn Gustavsson
The optimization introduced in 0a0d39d351fc would cause spurious warnings of the type: "a term is constructed, but never used". To avoid the warning, we must mark not only tuples and lists as compiler_generated, but also each element. We must also propagate compiler_generated annotations in lets. For example, if we have: let <X -| ['compiler_generated']> = 42 in X + 1 we must propagate the compiler_generated annotation to the literal when do constant propagation: 42 -| ['compiler_generated'] + 1

2015-04-29Merge branch 'bjorn/compiler/misc'Björn Gustavsson
* bjorn/compiler/misc: test_lib: Simplify uniq/0 beam_dict: Correct comparison in opcode/2 beam_utils: Re-use the local helper function drop_labels/1 beam_asm: Speed up encoding of large numbers compilation_SUITE: Speed up the self_compile test cases beam_listing: Optimize writing of .S files v3_core, v3_codegen: Eliminate old-style catches cerl_inline: Replace old-style 'catch' with 'try'...'catch' sys_core_fold: Suppress warnings better beam_utils: Teach check_liveness/3 to understand get_map_elements Teach beam_trim to handle map instructions beam_utils: Be less conservative about liveness for exit instructions beam_validator: Stop validating the 'aligned' flag for binaries beam_validator: Clean up updating of types for y register beam_validator: Remove support for removed BIF fault/1,2 beam_validator: Correct merging of states beam_validator: Correct merging of y registers sys_pre_expand: Remove unused fields in #expand{} record
2015-04-29beam_dict: Correct comparison in opcode/2Björn Gustavsson
The intention of the comparison is to avoid unnecessary updates of the ">=" instead of ">". With the ">" comparison, typically every line instruction would cause the #asm{} record to be updated.
2015-04-29beam_utils: Re-use the local helper function drop_labels/1Björn Gustavsson
In 8470558, the drop_labels/1 function was added to beam_utils as a minor optimization. Since the function is already available, we might as well use it in index_label/3 too.
2015-04-29beam_asm: Speed up encoding of large numbersBjörn Gustavsson
The misc_SUITE:integer_encoding/1 test case is annoyingly slow. Rewrite the encoding of integers in beam_asm to use the binary:encode_unsigned/1 BIF. Also tweak the test case itself. Scale the down the maximum size of the numbers being generated, but also add test of numbers around boundaries of power of two (which are the numbers most likely to expose bugs in the encoding).
2015-04-29beam_listing: Optimize writing of .S filesBjörn Gustavsson
The test suites generates listing files, so we can slightly speed up running of test suites (especially when running 'cover') by optimizing writing of .S files.
2015-04-29v3_core, v3_codegen: Eliminate old-style catchesBjörn Gustavsson
2015-04-29cerl_inline: Replace old-style 'catch' with 'try'...'catch'Björn Gustavsson
Using 'try'...'catch' simplifies the code and improves coverage because we don't have to re-throw accidentally caught errors.
2015-04-29sys_core_fold: Suppress warnings betterBjörn Gustavsson
86fbd6d76d strengthened type optimization in lets. As a result of the stronger optimizations, special care had to be taken to suppress false warnings. It turns out that false warnings can still slip through. Slapping on a 'compiler_generated' annotation at the top-level of a complex term such as #c_tuple{} may not suppress all warnings. We will need to go deeper into the term to eliminate all warnings.
2015-04-29beam_utils: Teach check_liveness/3 to understand get_map_elementsBjörn Gustavsson
Understanding get_map_elements improves the stack trimming done by beam_trim.
2015-04-29Teach beam_trim to handle map instructionsBjörn Gustavsson
2015-04-29beam_utils: Be less conservative about liveness for exit instructionsBjörn Gustavsson
beam_utils used to be overly conservative about liveness for exit instructions such as: call_ext erlang:exit/1 beam_utils would consider all y registers to be used, to avoid overwriting a catch or try tag. That does not seem to be a real risk. However, we miss opportunities for stack trimming if we consider y registers used by an exit instruction.
2015-04-29beam_validator: Stop validating the 'aligned' flag for binariesBjörn Gustavsson
The run-time system stopped paying attention the 'aligned' flag in bit syntax construction and matching when bitstrings were introduced in language. The beam_asm compiler pass will crash if the 'aligned' flag is given in bit syntax instructions. beam_validator still validates the 'aligned' flag. Before 912fea0b712a (which removed the possibility to validate existing BEAM files), the 'aligned' flag could actually be encountered when validating a BEAM file. Since the validation of 'aligned' no longer serves any useful purpose, remove the validation code.
2015-04-29beam_validator: Clean up updating of types for y registerBjörn Gustavsson
set_type_y/3 is far too complicated. Note that we don't need to check the #st.numy field, because we will detect the error anyway because the information for the y register will be missing in the #st.y gb_tree. There is also a clause that would never match because of a spelling error (the first "n" was missing in "uninitialized"). That clause is not needed because the default clause will do fine. Furthermore, we can break out the special case for handling catch_end and similar instructions into a new function.
2015-04-27Merge branch 'bjorn/use-monotonic-time'Björn Gustavsson
* bjorn/use-monotonic-time: supervisor: Correct restart handling test_server: Use erlang:monotonic_time/0 compile: Teach 'time' option to show three significant decimals timer: Use monotonic_time/0 in tc/1,2,3
2015-04-23beam_validator: Remove support for removed BIF fault/1,2Björn Gustavsson
The fault/1,2 BIF was removed a long time ago.
2015-04-23beam_validator: Correct merging of statesBjörn Gustavsson
When merging two states, the following fields should be merged between the states: #st.x, #st.y, #st.numy, #st.ct. Everything else should be set to the default values in a new state.
2015-04-23beam_validator: Correct merging of y registersBjörn Gustavsson
When merging y registers, only the y registers that are found in both states should be retained.
2015-04-22sys_pre_expand: Remove unused fields in #expand{} recordBjörn Gustavsson
The compile, bitdefault, and bittypes records are not really used in the #expand{} record.
2015-04-22v3_life: Optimize updating of the variable data baseBjörn Gustavsson
Updating of the variable data base takes most of the time.
2015-04-22beam_jump: Replace use of lists:dropwhile/2 with a custom functionBjörn Gustavsson
The use of lists:dropwhile/2 is noticeable in the eprof results.
2015-04-22beam_asm: Eliminate unnecessary use of iolist_to_binary/1Björn Gustavsson
2015-04-22beam_bsm: Optimize btb_index()Björn Gustavsson
lists:dropwhile/2 and the fun in btb_index_1/2 shows up in the top 10 list of eprof. Replace dropwhile with a special-purpose function for a tiny increase in speed.
2015-04-22beam_type: Eliminate redundant calls to checkerror_1/2Björn Gustavsson
Profiling shows that the excution time for checkerror_1/2 could be be near the top even for modules without any floating point operations. It turns out that the complexity of simplify_float_1/4 is quadratic. checkerror/1 is called with the growing accumulator for each iteration. checkerror/1 will traverse the entire accumulated list *unless* some floating point operations are used. We can avoid this situation if we only call checkerror/1 when there are live floating point registers. We can also avoid calling flush/3 if there are no live floating point registers.
2015-04-22beam_utils: Optimize index_labels_1/2Björn Gustavsson
The execution time for beam_utils:index_labels_1/2 is among the longest in the beam_bool, beam_bsm, beam_receive, and beam_trim compiler passes. Therefore it is worthwhile to do the minor optimization of replacing a call to lists:dropwhile/2 with a special-purpose drop_labels function.
2015-04-22beam_block: Optimize matching of binary literalsBjörn Gustavsson
When matching a binary literal as in: <<"abc">> = Bin the compiler will produce a sequence of three instructions (some details in the instructions removed for simplicity): bs_start_match2 Fail BinReg CtxtReg bs_match_string Fail CtxtReg "abc" bs_test_tail2 Fail CtxtReg 0 The sequence can be replaced with: is_eq_exact Fail BinReg "abc"
