* bjorn/compiler/fix-unsafe-type-inference/OTP-15838: Fix unsafe negative type inference
2019-05-24Fix unsafe negative type inferenceBjörn Gustavsson
The type optimizer pass (`beam_ssa_type`) could make unsafe negative inferences. That is, incorrectly infer that a variable could *not* have a particular type. This bug was found when adding another optimization. It is not clear how write a failing test case without that added optimization.

* bjorn/compiler/fix-freeze/ERL-948/OTP-15828: Fix non-terminating compilation
2019-05-21Eliminate compiler crash when compiling complex receive statementsBjörn Gustavsson
Certain complex receive statements would result in an internal compiler failure. That would happen when the compiler would fail to find the common exit block following a receive. See the added test case for an example. https://bugs.erlang.org/browse/ERL-950
2019-05-20Fix non-terminating compilationBjörn Gustavsson
The compiler would not terminate while compiling the following code: foo(<<N:32>>, Tuple, NewValue) -> _ = element(N, Tuple), setelement(N, Tuple, NewValue). The type analysis pass would attempt to construct a huge list when attempting analyse the type of `Tuple` after the call to `setelement/3`. https://bugs.erlang.org/browse/ERL-948
2019-05-14Fix compiler crash when funs were matchedBjörn Gustavsson
Code such as the following would crash the compiler in OTP 22: [some_atom = fun some_function/1] The reason is that the fun would be copied (used both in the match operation and as a value in the list), and the copy of the fun would create two wrapper functions with the same name for calling some_function/1. In OTP 21, the duplicate functions happened not to cause any harm (one of the wrappers functions would be unused and ultimately be removed by beam_clean). In OTP 22, the new beam_ssa_type pass would be confused by the multiple definitions of the wrapper function.

2019-04-15Optimize encoding of simple literalsBjörn Gustavsson
`beam_asm` would encode `{literal,[]}`, `{literal,erlang}`, and `{literal,42}` in a less efficient way than the equivalent values `nil`, `{atom,erlang}`, and `{integer,42}`. That would increase the size of BEAM files and could increase the loaded code size. It would probably not harm performance, because `literal` was only used this way in code that generates `badmatch` and `case_clause` exceptions.

2019-03-26compiler: Fully disable no_return optimizations in try blocksJohn Högberg
Validation could fail when a function that never returned was used in a try block (see attached test case). It's possible to solve this without disabling the optimization as the generated code is sound, but I'm not comfortable making such a large change this close to the OTP 22 release.
2019-03-25sys_core_fold: Simplify case_expand_var/2Björn Gustavsson
5239eb0c62a9 stopped storing patterns that a variable has matched. The only tuples that are stored in the type database are tuples that have been previously constructed. Therefore, the code in sys_core_fold:case_expand_var/2 and friends that converts a tuple pattern to a tuple construction can be simplified to used the stored tuple directly.
2019-03-25beam_validator: Remove uncovered lines in lists_mod_return_type/3Björn Gustavsson
Don't bother infering the return types for lists function that beam_ssa_type does not handle.

2019-03-18beam_validator: Infer types on both sides of '=:='John Högberg
2019-03-08beam_ssa_opt: Fix crash in ssa_opt_floatJohn Högberg
For reasons better explained in the source code, ssa_opt_float skips optimizing inside guards but it failed to do so consistently; while the pass never processed guard blocks, it was still possible to erroneously defer error checking to a guard block, crashing the compiler once it realized its state was invalid.
2019-03-06beam_validator: Express test_arity/is_tagged_tuple as type testsJohn Högberg
This ensures that unreachable branches are properly ignored on repeated checks (although tuple type subtraction isn't complete yet).
2019-03-06beam_validator: Fix type subtraction on select_* and inequalityJohn Högberg
Type subtraction never resulted in the 'none' type, even when it was obvious that it should. Once that was fixed it became apparent that inequality checks also fell into the same subtraction trap that the type pass warned about in a comment. This then led to another funny problem with select_val, consider the following code: {bif,'>=',{f,0},[{x,0},{integer,1}],{x,0}}. {select_val,{x,0},{f,70},{list,[{atom,false},{f,69}, {atom,true},{f,68}]}}. The validator knows that '>=' can only return a boolean, so once it has subtracted 'false' and 'true' it killed the state because all all valid branches had been taken, so validation would crash once it tried to branch off the fail label.

2019-03-05beam_validator: Refactor type conflict resolutionJohn Högberg
The current type conflict resolution works well for the example case in the comment, but doesn't handle branched code properly, consider the following: {label,2}. {test,is_tagged_tuple,{f,ignored},[{x,0},3,{atom,r}]}. {allocate_zero,2,1}. {move,{x,0},{y,0}}. %% {y,0} is known to be {r, _, _} now. {get_tuple_element,{x,0},2,{x,0}}. {'try',{y,1},{f,3}}. %% ... snip ... {jump,{f,5}}. {label,3}. {try_case,{y,1}}. %% {x,0} is the error class (an atom), {x,1} is the error term. {test,is_eq_exact,{f,ignored},[{x,0},{y,0}]}. %% ... since tuples and atoms can't meet, the type of {y,0} is %% now {atom,[]} because the current code assumes the type %% we're updating with. {move,{x,1},{x,0}}. {jump,{f,5}}. {label,5}. %% ... joining tuple (block 2) and atom (block 3) means 'term', %% so the get_tuple_element instruction fails to validate %% despite this being unrechable from block 3. {test_heap,3,1}. {get_tuple_element,{y,0},1,{x,1}}. {put_tuple2,{x,0},{list,[{x,1},{x,0}]}}. {deallocate,2}. return. This commit kills the state on type conflicts, making unreachable instructions truly unreachable.
2019-03-05beam_validator: Refactor branch handlingJohn Högberg
While complex_test made certain branching instructions a lot easier to read, we're still using `branch_state` for many others which is hard to read and makes it impossible to "abort" branches on type conflicts. This commit replaces nearly all uses of `branch_state` with a general branching mechanism, improving readability and paving the way for proper type conflict resolution.

The element type can not be extracted before the tuple type has been updated.

Optimize the beam_ssa_dead sub pass
2019-03-01Move size=all binary clause prunning to v3_kernelJosé Valim
The advantage of moving it up is that it reduces the size of the code emitted by v3_kernel, speeding v3_kernel itself and beam_kernel_to_ssa pass.
2019-03-01Optimize v3_kernel for thousands of clausesJosé Valim
Prior to this patch, v3_kernel would do multiple passes on the clauses to group them. This commit unrolls those passes, making v3_kernel up to 10% faster in those cases.
2019-03-01Add a comment about the time complexity of beam_ssa_deadBjörn Gustavsson
2019-03-01Pass the from node as a function argument instead of in a mapBjörn Gustavsson
This is cleaner and slightly faster.
2019-03-01Do some minor optimizations of compilation timesBjörn Gustavsson
The general complexity of the shortcut sub pass of `beam_ssa_dead` is quadratic, but those optimizations will reduce the constant factor somewhat.
2019-03-01Keep the set of unset variables as small as possibleBjörn Gustavsson
Refactor the code to avoid putting any variable from a skippable block into the set of unset variables. Keeping the set of unset variables as small as possible will make beam_ssa_dead almost twice as fast when compiling lib/unicode/tokenizer.ex in elixir.
2019-02-28beam_ssa_opt: Use is_tagged_tuple moreBjörn Gustavsson
Consider this code: foo(X) -> case X of {ok,A} -> A; error -> X end. The `is_tagged_tuple` instruction would not be used because not all instructions in the tuple matching sequence had the same failure label: function t:foo(_0) { 0: @ssa_bool:7 = bif:is_tuple _0 br @ssa_bool:7, label 8, label 4 8: @ssa_arity = bif:tuple_size _0 @ssa_bool:9 = bif:'=:=' @ssa_arity, literal 2 br @ssa_bool:9, label 6, label 3 6: _4 = get_tuple_element _0, literal 0 @ssa_bool = bif:'=:=' _4, literal ok br @ssa_bool, label 5, label 3 5: _3 = get_tuple_element _0, literal 1 ret _3 4: @ssa_bool:11 = bif:'=:=' _0, literal error br @ssa_bool:11, label 10, label 3 10: ret _0 3: _2 = put_tuple literal case_clause, _0 %% t.erl:5 @ssa_ret:12 = call remote (literal erlang):(literal error)/1, _2 ret @ssa_ret:12 } Enhance the ssa_opt_record optimization to use `is_tagged_tuple` even if all failure labels are not the same: function t:foo(_0) { 0: @ssa_bool:7 = bif:is_tuple _0 br @ssa_bool:7, label 8, label 4 8: @ssa_bool:9 = is_tagged_tuple _0, literal 2, literal ok br @ssa_bool:9, label 6, label 3 6: _3 = get_tuple_element _0, literal 1 ret _3 4: @ssa_bool:11 = bif:'=:=' _0, literal error br @ssa_bool:11, label 10, label 3 10: ret _0 3: _2 = put_tuple literal case_clause, _0 %% t.erl:5 @ssa_ret:12 = call remote (literal erlang):(literal error)/1, _2 ret @ssa_ret:12 } The tuple test will be repeated, but since four instructions are replaced by two instructions, the code will still be faster and smaller.

2019-02-27beam_validator: Clarify a commentJohn Högberg
2019-02-27beam_validator: Make call argument validation stricterJohn Högberg
We used to cheat by checking if it were possible to meet the Given and Required types, which caught the most common problems but potentially let tuple element conflicts pass through. This was a compromise to let the thing "work" while we were refactoring the validator, but we can be a lot stricter now that its type tracking capabilities approach those of the type optimization pass.
2019-02-27beam_validator: Don't explode when building terms in receiveJohn Högberg
Building terms with fragile contents is okay because the GC is disabled during loop_rec, and the resulting term won't be reachable from the root set afterwards. ERL-862
2019-02-27beam_validator: Improve 'binary' type trackingJohn Högberg
2019-02-27beam_validator: Infer tuple element typesJohn Högberg
This is possible now that we track types on a per-value basis, and no longer need to care whether the source tuple's register has been clobbered by the time we infer the type.
2019-02-27beam_validator: Tolerate the 'receive' hack in prim_evalJohn Högberg
2019-02-27beam_validator: Track types by value rather than by registerJohn Högberg
This is a rather subtle but important distinction. While tracking types on a per-register basis is fairly effective, it forces us to track which registers alias each other, and makes it tricky to infer types over large blocks of code as instruction arguments may have been clobbered between definition and inference. Tracking types on a per-value basis makes us immune to these problems.
