2018-12-05Fix unsafe optimization of stack trace buildingBjörn Gustavsson
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.
2018-11-20Fix internal consistency failure for is_function/2Björn Gustavsson

2018-10-05compiler: Forward +source flag to epp and fix bug in +deterministicJohn Högberg
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.
2018-09-28Fix rare bug in binary matching (again)Björn Gustavsson
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. https://bugs.erlang.org/browse/ERL-689

2018-08-28dialyzer: Improve handling of complex guardsHans Bolinder
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.
2018-08-22beam_validator: Infer the type of the map argument for is_map_key/2Björn Gustavsson
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.)

2018-08-13Correct error behavior of is_map_key/2 in guardsBjörn Gustavsson
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: https://bugs.erlang.org/browse/ERL-699

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
2018-08-08Fix bug in binary matchingBjörn Gustavsson
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. https://bugs.erlang.org/browse/ERL-689

2018-08-08Fix side-effect optimization when compiling from Core ErlangJohn Högberg
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. https://bugs.erlang.org/browse/ERL-658 Co-authored-by: Björn Gustavsson <[email protected]>

2018-07-16Abort size calculation when a matched-out variable is usedJohn Högberg
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.

2018-06-25Fix unsafe optimization when running beam_block the second timeBjörn Gustavsson
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. https://bugs.erlang.org/browse/ERL-650 https://github.com/elixir-lang/elixir/issues/7782

2018-06-04sys_core_fold: Fix name capture problemBjörn Gustavsson
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.)

2018-04-29Introduce is_map_key/2 guard BIFMichał Muskała
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.
