2015-01-30Make the syntax for map pairs readableBjörn Gustavsson
Use the same syntax for map pairs in Core Erlang code as in the Erlang Code. This Erlang code: M#{x:=42,y=>1} will look like this in Core Erlang: ~{'x':=42,'y'=>1|M}~

2015-01-29Move grouping of map constructions from v3_core to v3_kernelBjörn Gustavsson
When translating a function with map construction: f(A) -> B = b, C = c, #{A=>1,B=>2,C=>3}. v3_core would break apart the map construction into three parts because of the way the map instructions in BEAM work -- variable keys need to be in their own instruction. In the example, constant propagation will turn two of the keys to literal keys. But the initial breaking apart will not be undone, so there will still be three map constructions: 'f'/1 = fun (_cor0) -> let <_cor3> = ~{::<_cor0,1>}~ in let <_cor4> = ~{::<'b',2>|_cor3}~ in ~{::<'c',3>|_cor4}~ It would be possible to complicate the sys_core_fold pass to regroup map operations so that we would get: 'f'/1 = fun (_cor0) -> let <_cor3> = ~{::<_cor0,1>}~ in ~{::<'b',2>,::<'c',3>|_cor3}~ A simpler way that allows to simplify the translation is to skip the grouping in v3_core and translate the function to: 'f'/1 = fun (_cor0) -> ~{::<_cor0,1>,::<'b',2>,::<'c',3>}~ We will then let v3_kernel do the grouping while translating from Core Erlang to Kernel Erlang.
2015-01-28core_pp: Correct printing of map literalsBjörn Gustavsson
A map key in a pattern would be incorrectly pretty-printed. As an example, the pattern in: x() -> #{ #{ a => 3 } := 42 } = X. would be pretty-printed as: <~{~<~{~<'a',3>}~,42>}~ instead of: <~{~<~{::<'a',3>}~,42>}~ When this problem has been corrected, the workaround for it in cerl:ann_c_map/3 can be removed. The workaround was not harmless, as it would cause the following map update to incorrectly succeed: (#{})#{a:=1}
2015-01-28sys_core_fold: Remove uncovered clauses matching #c_map{}Björn Gustavsson
sys_core_fold:eval_element/3 attempts to evaluate calls to element/2 at compile time or to warn when the call will obviously fail. For example: element(1, [a]) will obviously fail and eval_element/3 will produce a warning. eval_element/3 uses the helper functions is_not_integer/1 and is_not_tuple/1 to test whether the arguments are known to be incorrect. The clauses that attempt to match #c_map{} in those helper function will never be executed, because #c_map{} will never occur directly in an argument for a function call. For example, code such as: element(1, #{a=>Val}) will be translated to: let <NewVar> = #{a=>Val} in element(1, NewVar) since maps are not considered safe (some map operations may cause an exception at run time).
2015-01-27core_parse: Always fold literal consesBjörn Gustavsson
v3_core is careful to always create literals whenever possible. Correct core_parse so it, too, always creates literals out of literal conses. With that correction, we can remove the workaround in sys_core_fold (introduced in 26a5dea3cb5e101) that handles non-literal flags in a binary.
2015-01-26beam_z: Remove the uncovered to_typed_literal/1 functionBjörn Gustavsson
It was a workaround for a bug that has been fixed.
2015-01-26cerl: Make sure that we preserve the invariants for mapsBjörn Gustavsson
Maps have certain invariants that must be preserved: (1) A map as a pattern must be represented as #c_map{} record, never as a literal. The reason is that the pattern '#{}' will match any map, not just the empty map. The literal '#{}' will only match the empty map. (2) In a map pattern, the key must be a literal, a variable, or data (list or tuple). Keys that are binaries or maps *must* be represented as literals. (3) Maps in expressions should be represented as literals if possible. Nothing is broken if this invariant is broken, but the generated code will be less efficient. To preserve invariant (1), cerl:update_c_map/3 must never collapse a map to a literal. To preserve invariant (3), cerl:update_c_map/3 must collapse a map to a literal if possible. To preserve both invariants, we need a way for cerl:update_c_map/3 to know whether the map is used as a pattern or as an expression. The simplest way is to have an 'is_pat' boolean in the #c_map{} record which is set when a #c_map{} record is initially created. We also need to update core_parse.yrl to establish the invariants in the same way as v3_core, to ensure that compiling from a .core file will work even if all optimizations on Core Erlang are disabled.

2015-01-26sys_core_fold: Strengthen optimization of letrecs in effect contextBjörn Gustavsson
We used to evaluate the body of a 'letrec' in value context, even if the 'letrec' was being evaluated in effect context. In most cases, the context does not matter because the body is usually just an 'apply' which will never be optimized away. However, in the case of incorrect code described in the previous commit, it does matter. We can find such bad code by evaluating the body in effect context. For example, if we have the following incorrect code: letrec f/1 = fun(A) -> ... <use of Var> ... in let Var = <<2:301>> in apply(Arg) If the letrec is evaluated in effect context, the code will be reduced to: letrec f/1 = fun(A) -> ... <use of Var> ... in seq Var = <<2:301>> do apply(Arg) Now Var will be unbound and a later compiler pass will crash to ensure that the bad Core Erlang code is noticed. Also add a test case to ensure that the compiler crashes if the bug fixed in the previous commit re-surfaces.
2015-01-26Fix handling of binary map keys in comprehensionsBjörn Gustavsson
The translation of list comprehension with a map pattern with a big literal binary as key such as: lc(L) -> [V || #{<<2:301>> := V} <- L]. would generate Core Erlang code where an unbound variable were referenced: 'lc'/1 = fun (L) -> letrec 'lc$^0'/1 = fun (_cor4) -> case _cor4 of <[~{~<_cor1,V>}~|_cor3]> when 'true' -> let <_cor5> = apply 'lc$^0'/1(_cor3) in [V|_cor5] <[_cor2|_cor3]> when 'true' -> apply 'lc$^0'/1(_cor3) <[]> when 'true' -> [] end in let <_cor1> = #{#<2>(301,1,'integer',['unsigned'|['big']])}# in apply 'lc$^0'/1(L) In the map pattern in the 'case' in the 'letrec', the key is the variable '_cor1' which should be bound in the enclosing environment. It is not. There is binding of '_cor1', but in the wrong place (at the end of the function). Because of the way v3_kernel translates letrecs, the code *happens* to work. The code will break if Core Erlang optimizations were strengthened to more aggressively eliminate variable bindings that are not used, or if the translation from Core Erlang to Kernel Erlang were changed. Correct the translation so that '_cor1' is bound in the environment enclosing the 'letrec': 'lc'/1 = fun (L) -> let <_cor1> = #{#<2>(301,1,'integer',['unsigned'|['big']])}# in letrec 'lc$^0'/1 = fun (_cor4) -> case _cor4 of <[~{~<_cor1,V>}~|_cor3]> when 'true' -> let <_cor5> = apply 'lc$^0'/1(_cor3) in [V|_cor5] <[_cor2|_cor3]> when 'true' -> apply 'lc$^0'/1(_cor3) <[]> when 'true' -> [] end in apply 'lc$^0'/1(L) Unfortunately I was not able to come up with a test case that demonstrates the bug.
2015-01-26core_lib: Teach is_var_used/2 to handle keys in map patternsBjörn Gustavsson
is_var_used/2 did not notice that variable keys in map patterns were used, which could cause sys_core_fold to do unsafe optimizations.

beam_utils:live_opt() is only invoked on code that has been blockified by beam_block. Therefore the allocate/3 and allocate_heap/4 instructions only occur in their transformed form inside a block. While we are it, correct a comment. 'asm' has been replaced by 'from_asm'.
2015-01-19core_lib: Handle patterns in map valuesBjörn Gustavsson
core_lib:is_var_used/2 would not consider a variable used in the value of a map pattern such as: case Map of #{key := <<42:N>>} -> ok end Here the variable 'N' would not be considered used. It was assumed that there was no need to check map patterns at all, since maps currently don't support variables in keys.

2015-01-14beam_bool: Correct live calculation for GC BIFsBjörn Gustavsson
When optimizing boolean expressions, it is not always possible to find a number of live registers for a GC BIF that both preserves all source registers that will be tested and at the same time does not include registers that are not initialized. As currently implemented, we have incomplete information about the register calculated from the free variables. Some registers are marked as "reserved". Reserved registers means that we don't know anything about them; they may or may not be initialized. As a conservative correction (suitable for a maintenance release), we will abort the optimization if we find any reserved registers when calculating the number of live registers. We will not attempt to improve the information about the registers in this commit. By examining the coverage when running the existing compiler test suite we find that the optimization is aborted 15 times (before adding any new test cases). To put that in perspective, the optimization is successfully applied 4927 times, and aborted for other reasons 547 times. Reported-by: Ulf Norell Reported-by: Anthony Ramine
2015-01-14beam_bool: Correct indentation for try...catchBjörn Gustavsson
Old versions of the Erlang mode for Emacs used to indent try...catch strangely - the first clause following the 'catch' would be indented with one space less than the following clauses. If we are to use the new Erlang mode when we add more clauses, they would be indented with one space less than the preceding clauses. That would look silly.
2015-01-14sys_core_fold: Correct optimization of 'case'Björn Gustavsson
The optimization of a 'case' statement could lead to incorrect code that would cause an exception at run-time. Here is an example to show how the optimization went wrong. Start with the following code: f({r,#{key:=Val},X}=S) -> case S of {r,_,_} -> setelement(3, Val, S) end. (The record operations have already been translated to the corresponding tuple operations.) The first step in case_opt/3 is to substitute S to obtain: f({r,#{key:=Val},X}=S) -> case {r,#{key:=Val},X} of {r,_,_} -> setelement(3, Val, S) end. After that substitution the 'case' can be simplified to: f({r,#{key:=Val},_}=S) -> case #{key:=Val} of NewVar -> setelement(3, Val, S) end. That is the result from case_opt/3. Now eval_case/2 notices that since there is only one clause left in the 'case', the 'case' can eliminated: f({r,#{key:=Val},_}=S) -> NewVar = #{key:=Val}, setelement(3, Val, S). Since the map construction may have a side effect, it was not eliminated, but assigned to a variable that is never used. The problem is that '#{key:=Val}' is fine as a pattern, but in a construction of a new map, the '=>' operator must be used. So the map construction will fail, generating an exception. As a conservative correction for a maintenance release, we will abort the 'case' optimization if the substitution into the 'case' expression is anything but data items (tuples, conses, or literals) or variables.

2015-01-09beam_dead: Optimize branches from relational conditionalsBjörn Gustavsson
The BEAM compiler translates code such as: is_hex_digit(D) when $0 =< D, D =< $9 -> true; is_hex_digit(D) when $a =< D, D =< $z -> true; is_hex_digit(D) when $A =< D, D =< $Z -> true; is_hex_digit(_) -> false. to something like this: L0: test is_ge L1 {x,0} 48 test is_ge L1 57 {x,0} move true {x,0} return. L1: test is_ge L2 {x,0} 97 test is_ge L2 122 {x,0} move true {x,0} return L2: test is_ge L3 {x,0} 65 test is_ge L3 90 {x,0} move true {x,0} return L3: move false {x,0} return We can see that tests will be repeated even if they cannot possibly succeed. For instance, if we pass in {x,0} equal to 32, the first test that {x,0} is greater than or equal to 48 at L0 will fail. The control will transfer to L1, where it will be tested whether {x,0} is greater than 97. That test will fail and control will pass to L2, where again the test will fail. The compiler can do better by short-circuiting repeating tests: L0: test is_ge L3 {x,0} 48 test is_ge L1 57 {x,0} move true {x,0} return. L1: test is_ge L2 {x,0} 97 test is_ge L3 122 {x,0} move true {x,0} return L2: test is_ge L3 {x,0} 65 test is_ge L3 90 {x,0} move true {x,0} return L3: move false {x,0} return

2014-10-27Extract annotations from filter qualifiers in a type-friendly wayBjörn Gustavsson
Commit 78ce8917d started to use get_anno/1 to extract the line annotation from filter qualifiers in comprehensions, but this does not respect the spec of this function and resuls in a dialyzer warning. To make the code more type-friendly, introduce a get_qual_anno/1 function. Kostis Sagonas suggested that the function should be implemented similar to this to also ensure that the qualifiers are of the appropriate form: get_qual_anno({call,Line,_,_}) -> Line; get_qual_anno({op,Line,_,_,_}) -> Line; . . . get_qual_anno({var,Line,_}) -> Line. The problem is that it is difficult to know exacly which forms that may occur and the function will need to be updated if new abstract forms are added. Thus this implementation would complicate maintanance without any real payoff. Reported-by: Kostis Sagonas

2014-09-01sys_core_fold: Eliminate name capture bugBjörn Gustavsson
The scope is supposed to contain all variables that are currently live. We need this information for certain optimizations to avoid capturing a name (a name that is in the scope must be renamed; for an example, see move_let_into_expr/2 or any function that calls sub_subst_scope/1). We also use the scope to optimize sub_del_var/2 and sub_is_val/2. When optimizing case expressions, the scope could be reset to an empty list (because sub_new/0 was called instead of sub_new/1). That could cause name capture if inlining was turned on. As simple way to force this bug is to uncomment the "-define(DEBUG, 1)." near the beginning of the file. Without this correction, most files in the test suite fail to compile.
