* bjorn/compiler/binary-syntax-bug/OTP-10724: compiler: Eliminate internal consistency failure in binary matching
2013-01-18compiler: Eliminate internal consistency failure in binary matchingBjörn Gustavsson
The following code: check(<<"string">>, a1) -> one; check(_, a2) -> two; check(undefined, a3) -> three. produces an internal consistency failure: check: function check/2+17: Internal consistency check failed - please report this bug. Instruction: {test,is_eq_exact,{f,7},[{x,0},{atom,undefined}]} Error: {match_context,{x,0}}: Actually, in the current implementation of the run-time system, comparing a match context to an atom is safe, so I briefly considered updating the beam_validator to let this code pass through. I abandoned that approach because not all terms would be safe to compare to a match context, and the implementation might change in the future. Therefore, fix this problem by not allowing any matching of non-variables (in the argument position for binary being matched) following binary matching. That solution is simple and safe, and since this kind of code seems to be rare in practice, there is no need to pursue any more compilicated solution. Reported-by: Viktor Sovietov

* nox/promote-inline_list_funcs/OTP-10690: Raise a function_clause error with the right arguments when inlining Properly guard against badly-typed arguments when inlining Make inlined list functions fail with function_clause Document compiler option 'inline_list_funcs' Silence some wrong warnings triggered by inline_list_funcs
2013-01-16compile: Remove vestiges of package supportBjörn Gustavsson
2013-01-16Forbid local fun variables in Core Erlang guardsAnthony Ramine
Local fun variables are disallowed in both Erlang and Core Erlang guards but core_lint doesn't detect this kind of error, making the compilation fail later in the BEAM assembly generation. A guard is added to only allow #c_var{} terms where the name is an atom or an integer, which is the type used by the inliner when introducing new variables.
2013-01-16Raise a function_clause error with the right arguments when inliningAnthony Ramine
The inlined lists functions raised an error with only the list instead of all their given arguments.
2013-01-16Properly guard against badly-typed arguments when inliningAnthony Ramine
The inlining code for inline_list_funcs silenced the function_clause error that should occur when calling lists:map(3.5, []).
2013-01-16Make inlined list functions fail with function_clauseAnthony Ramine
The function_clause errors produced by inline_list_funcs should properly be annotated with their function names to avoid kernel_v3 making them into case_clauses errors. See v3_kernel:translate_match_fail_1/4.
2013-01-15Implement ./otp_build configure --enable-silent-rulesAnthony Ramine
With silent rules, the output of make is less verbose and compilation warnings are easier to spot. Silent rules are disabled by default and can be disabled or enabled at will by make V=0 and make V=1.

2013-01-02[stdlib, kernel] Introduce Unicode support for Erlang source filesHans Bolinder
Expect modifications, additions and corrections. There is a kludge in file_io_server and erl_scan:continuation_location() that's not so pleasing.
2012-12-03Remove the reverse eta-conversion from v3_kernelAnthony Ramine
Local function references should be handled directly as a make_fun internal BIF call instead of creating an extra lambda function every time they are used.
2012-11-26beam_bsm: Improve handling of bs_start_match2 instructionsBjörn Gustavsson
The handling of bs_start_match2 was both too conservative and too careless. It was too conservative in that would not do the optimization if the were copies of the match state in other registers. It was careless in that it did not consider the failure branch. Reorganize the code and fix both these issues. Add a test case to test that the failure branch is considered.
2012-11-26beam_utils: Improve is_not_used/3 for bit syntax matchingBjörn Gustavsson
2012-11-26beam_bsm: Make the optimization applicable in more circumstancesBjörn Gustavsson
When determining whether the delayed creation of sub-binaries optimizations is applicable, this module some tests whether the register containg the match state is killed. That is actually a stronger condition than necessary; since the register is initialized, it suffices to test whether the register is unused.

* maint: Fix compiler crash for binary matching and a complicated guard
2012-11-06Fix compiler crash for binary matching and a complicated guardBjörn Gustavsson
The compiler would crash when attempting to compile a function head that did binary matching and had a complex expression using 'andalso' and 'not'. Noticed-by: José Valim
2012-11-03Silence some wrong warnings triggered by inline_list_funcsAnthony Ramine
Code like `lists:map(fun(X) -> X end, ?C10k), ok` triggers the following warning: no_file:none: Warning: a term is constructed, but never used
2012-10-10beam_bsm: Handle calls slightly betterBjörn Gustavsson
We were too conservative when handling a call when there were copies of the match context in both x and y registers. Don't give up if there is are copies of the match context in y registers, as long as those copies are killed by the code that follows the call.
2012-10-10Break apart tail-recursive call instructionsBjörn Gustavsson
Somewhat reduce the code bloat by eliminating special cases.
2012-10-10Represent the 'send' instruction as a call_ext/2 instructionBjörn Gustavsson
Somewhat reduce code bloat.
2012-10-10Rewrite select_val and select_tuple_arity to a select instructionBjörn Gustavsson
Eliminate some code bloat.
2012-10-09Rewrite binary creation instructions to bs_init instructionsBjörn Gustavsson
Rewrite the five binary creation instructions to a bs_init instruction, in order to somewhat reduce code bloat.
2012-10-09Rewrite bs_add, bs_utf*_size to BIF instructions in optimizationsBjörn Gustavsson
We can remove some code bloat by handling the special instructions as BIF instructions in the optimization passes. Also note that bs_utf*_size was not handled by beam_utils:check_liveness/3 (meaning the conservative answer instead of the correct answer would be returned).
2012-10-09Rewrite bs_put* instructions to a generic bs_put instructionBjörn Gustavsson
Seven bs_put_* instructions can be combined into one generic bs_put instruction to avoid some code bloat. That will also improve some optimizations (such as beam_trim) that did not handle all bs_put* variants.
2012-10-09Refactor removal of unused labelsBjörn Gustavsson
Since we always want to remove unused labels directly after code generation (whether we'll run the optimization passes or not), we can simplify the code by doing it in beam_a.
2012-10-09Introduce the mandatory beam_a and beam_z passesBjörn Gustavsson
Introduce the mandary beam_a pass that will be run directly after code generation, and the mandatory beam_z pass that will be run just before beam_asm. Since these passes surround the optimizations, beam_a can (for example) do instruction renaming to simplify the optimization passes and beam_z can undo those renamings.
2012-10-09compile: Fix bug in selection of passesBjörn Gustavsson

2012-10-09compile: Give a friendler error message if a parse transform cannot be foundBjörn Gustavsson
Don't throw the parse tree in the face of the user. OTP-8707
2012-10-09beam_jump: Don't move a block which can be entered via a fallthroughBjörn Gustavsson
beam_jump moves short code sequences ending in an instruction that causes an exception to the end of the function, in the hope that a jump around the moved blocked can be replaced with a fallthrough. Therefore, moving a block that is entered via a fallthrough defeats the purpose of the optimization. Also add two more test cases for the beam_receive module to ensure that all lines are still covered.
2012-10-09beam_jump: Fix broken optimizationBjörn Gustavsson
A test instruction with the same target label as jump immediately followed it was supposed to be removed, but it was kept anyway. Fix that optimization, but also make sure that the test instruction is kept if the test instruction may have side effects (such as a bit syntax matching instruction). While at it, make the code cleaner by breaking it up into two clauses and don't remove the jump instruction if it is redudant (removal of redundant jump instructions is already handled in another place).
2012-10-09v3_kernel: Fix match code for matched out segment size in multiple clausesBjörn Gustavsson
When matched variable is used as a size field in multiple clauses, as in: foo(<<L:8,A:L>>) -> A; foo(<<L:8,A:L,B:8>>) -> {A,B}. the match tree would branch out before the segment that used the matched-out variable (in this example, the tree would branch out before the matching of A:L). That happens because the pattern matching compilator did not take variable substitutions into account when grouping clauses that match the same value. That is, the generated code would work similarly to this code: foo(<<L:8,T/binary>>) -> case T of <<A:L>> -> A; _ -> case T of <<A:L,B:8>> -> %% A matched out again! {A,B} end end. We would like the matching to work more like: foo(<<L,A:L,T/binary>>) -> case T of <<>> -> A; <<B:8>> -> {A,B} end. Fix the problem by taking the substitutions into account when grouping clauses that match out the same value.
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.)
