2017-03-24compiler: Add is_tagged_tuple instructionBjörn-Egil Dahlberg
Rewrite the instruction stream on tagged tuple tests. Tagged tuples means a tuple of any arity with an atom as its first element. Typically records, ok-tuples and error-tuples. from: ... {test,is_tuple,Fail,[Src]}. {test,test_arity,Fail,[Src,Sz]}. ... {get_tuple_element,Src,0,Dst}. ... {test,is_eq_exact,Fail,[Dst,Atom]}. ... to: ... {test,is_tagged_tuple,Fail,[Src,Sz,Atom]}. ...
2017-03-13beam_type: Avoid an internal consistency check failureBjörn Gustavsson
Code such as the following: -record(x, {a}). f(R, N0) -> N = N0 / 100, if element(1, R#x.a) =:= 0 -> N end. would fail to compile with the following message: m: function f/2+19: Internal consistency check failed - please report this bug. Instruction: {fmove,{fr,0},{x,1}} Error: {uninitialized_reg,{fr,0}}: This bug was introduced in 348b5e6bee2f. Basically, the beam_type pass placed the fmove instruction in the wrong place. Instructions that store to floating point registers and instructions that read from floating point registers are supposed to be in the same basic block. Fix the problem by flushing all floating points instruction before a call the pseudo-BIF is_record/3, thus making sure that the fmove instruction is placed in the correct block. Here is an annotated listing of the relevant part of the .S file (before the fix): {test_heap,{alloc,[{words,0},{floats,1}]},2}. {fconv,{x,1},{fr,0}}. {fmove,{float,100.0},{fr,1}}. fclearerror. {bif,fdiv,{f,0},[{fr,0},{fr,1}],{fr,0}}. {fcheckerror,{f,0}}. %% The instruction {fmove,{fr,0},{x,1}} should have %% been here. %% Block of instructions expanded from a call to %% the pseudo-BIF is_record/3. (Expanded in a later %% compiler pass.) {test,is_tuple,{f,3},[{x,0}]}. {test,test_arity,{f,3},[{x,0},2]}. {get_tuple_element,{x,0},0,{x,2}}. {test,is_eq_exact,{f,3},[{x,2},{atom,x}]}. {move,{atom,true},{x,2}}. {jump,{f,4}}. {label,3}. {move,{atom,false},{x,2}}. {label,4}. %% End of expansion. %% The fmove instruction that beam_validator complains %% about. {fmove,{fr,0},{x,1}}.

2017-02-27v3_core: Combine binary strings to larger integersBjörn Gustavsson
Binary construction that mixes long literal strings with variables will make Dialyzer slow. Example: <<"long string (thousand of characters)",T/binary>> The string literals in binary construction is translated to one binary segment per character; all those segments will slow down Dialyzer. We can speed up Dialyzer if we combine several characters (up to 256) to a signle segment in the binary. It will also slightly speed up the compiler. This optimization will make core listings file with binary strings harder to read, but they were not that easy to read before this change. ERL-308
2017-02-12Add extra_chunks option to compileJosé Valim
This allow languages such as Elixir and LFE to attach extra chunks to the .beam file without having to parse the beam file after compilation. This commit also cleans up the interface to beam_asm, allowing chunks to be passed from the compiler without a need to change beam_asm API on every new chunk.
2017-01-30Add new AtU8 beam chunkJosé Valim
The new chunk stores atoms encoded in UTF-8. beam_lib has also been modified to handle the new 'utf8_atoms' attribute while the 'atoms' attribute may be a missing chunk from now on. The binary_to_atom/2 BIF can now encode any utf8 binary with up to 255 characters. The list_to_atom/1 BIF can now accept codepoints higher than 255 with up to 255 characters (thanks to Björn Gustavsson).

2017-01-12sys_pre_attributes: Remove unnecessary flexibilityBjörn Gustavsson
The compiler passes always Options as list to parse_transform/2. There is no need accept a non-list. There is also no need to handle an improper Options list. The compiler itself will crash if the Options list is improper.
2017-01-12beam_dict: Simplify the internal format of the lambda tableBjörn Gustavsson
Since Index =:= OldIndex and OldUniq =:= 0, there is no need to store OldIndex and OldUniq in the internal data structure for the lambda table.

2017-01-11compiler: Do not spawn process when dialyzingHans Bolinder
Memory consumption is reduced during the compilation phase by keeping the Core parse tree shared. In particular the file annotation takes a lot of memory when not shared.
2017-01-10Improve compilation speed for huge literal case expressionsBjörn Gustavsson
Code with huge literal case expressions such as the following would compile very slowly: case "Very long literal string (thousands of characters)..." of . . . end. The reason is that in the case optimization each character in the string would be handled individually. Fix this bug by handling literals all at once.
2016-12-15compile: Reduce memory consumption during compilationBjörn Gustavsson
The compiler would keep the data structures for two compiler passes in memory. That could increase the maximum amount of memory that the compiler uses, and could also have a negative impact on performance (terms that would not be used again would be copied by a garbage collection). Here is an example that shows how the previous version of the code could get captured: a_compiler_pass(Mod, St) -> case Mod:module(St#compile.code, St#compile.options) of {ok,Code} -> {ok,St#compile{code=Code}}; ... The reference to the code from the previous pass will only be released when St is updated. We can avoid the problem by passing the current version of the code as a function argument: a_compiler_pass(Mod, Code0, St) -> case Mod:module(Code0, St#compile.options) of {ok,Code} -> {ok,Code,St}; ... In practice, this change does not seem to significantly speed up the compiler, but it does not do any harm either. It should help dialyzer in situations when dialyzer compiles several large modules at the same time.
2016-12-09beam_type: Minimize number of regs in test_heap instructionsBjörn Gustavsson
The beam_type may pass move and recalculates test_heap instructions. The number of live registers are not always the lowest. Minimize the number of registers by running beam_utils:live_opt/1 one more time.
2016-12-07Add option 'deterministic' for reproducible buildsBjörn Gustavsson
Add the option 'deterministic' to make it easier to achieve reproducible builds. This option omits the {options,...} and {source,...} tuples in M:module_info(compile), because those options may contain absolute paths. The author of ERL-310 suggested that only compiler options that may contain absolute paths (such as {i,...}) should be excluded. But I find it confusing to keep only some options. Alternatives considered: Always omitting this information. Since this information has been available for a long time, that would probably break some workflows. As an example that some people care about {source,...}, 2d785c07fbf9 made it possible to give a compiler option to set {source,...}. ERL-310

2016-11-18beam_dead: Remove redundant 'or' instructionBjörn Gustavsson
In practice, this optimization will only apply to contrived guards that are almost never used in real applications. The only reason we add this optimization is to help approach the goal of zero tolerance for 'bif' instructions instead of 'test' instructions in guards.
2016-11-18beam_dead: Remove redundant 'bif' instructionsBjörn Gustavsson
A 'bif' or 'gc_bif' instruction is redundant if it has the same failure label as a 'jump' instruction immediately following it. There is no need to test for liveness of the destination register, because the code at the failure label cannot safely assume that the destination register is initialized. See the comments in the code for further details. In practice, this optimization will only apply to contrived guards that are almost never used in real applications. The only reason we add this optimization is to help approach the goal of zero tolerance for 'bif' instructions instead of 'test' instructions in guards.

The guard optimizations in v3_kernel has removed the need for beam_bool.
2016-11-18v3_kernel: Generate optimized code for guardsBjörn Gustavsson
The compiler produces poor code for complex guard expressions with andalso/orelse. Here is an example from the filename module: -define(IS_DRIVELETTER(Letter),(((Letter >= $A) andalso (Letter =< $Z)) orelse ((Letter >= $a) andalso (Letter =< $z)))). skip_prefix(Name, false) -> Name; skip_prefix([L, DrvSep|Name], DrvSep) when ?IS_DRIVELETTER(L) -> Name; skip_prefix(Name, _) -> Name. beam_bool fails to simplify the code for the guard, leaving several 'bif' instructions: {function, skip_prefix, 2, 49}. {label,48}. {line,[{location,"filename.erl",187}]}. {func_info,{atom,filename},{atom,skip_prefix},2}. {label,49}. {test,is_ne_exact,{f,52},[{x,1},{atom,false}]}. {test,is_nonempty_list,{f,52},[{x,0}]}. {get_list,{x,0},{x,2},{x,3}}. {test,is_nonempty_list,{f,52},[{x,3}]}. {get_list,{x,3},{x,4},{x,5}}. {bif,'=:=',{f,52},[{x,1},{x,4}],{x,6}}. {test,is_ge,{f,50},[{x,2},{integer,65}]}. {bif,'=<',{f,52},[{x,2},{integer,90}],{x,7}}. {test,is_eq_exact,{f,51},[{x,7},{atom,false}]}. {test,is_ge,{f,50},[{x,2},{integer,97}]}. {bif,'=<',{f,52},[{x,2},{integer,122}],{x,7}}. {jump,{f,51}}. {label,50}. {move,{atom,false},{x,7}}. {label,51}. {bif,'=:=',{f,52},[{x,7},{atom,true}],{x,7}}. {test,is_eq_exact,{f,52},[{x,6},{atom,true}]}. {test,is_eq_exact,{f,52},[{x,7},{atom,true}]}. {move,{x,5},{x,0}}. return. {label,52}. return. We can add optimizations of guard tests to v3_kernel to achive a better result: {function, skip_prefix, 2, 49}. {label,48}. {line,[{location,"filename.erl",187}]}. {func_info,{atom,filename},{atom,skip_prefix},2}. {label,49}. {test,is_ne_exact,{f,51},[{x,1},{atom,false}]}. {test,is_nonempty_list,{f,51},[{x,0}]}. {get_list,{x,0},{x,2},{x,3}}. {test,is_nonempty_list,{f,51},[{x,3}]}. {get_list,{x,3},{x,4},{x,5}}. {test,is_eq_exact,{f,51},[{x,1},{x,4}]}. {test,is_ge,{f,51},[{x,2},{integer,65}]}. {test,is_lt,{f,50},[{integer,90},{x,2}]}. {test,is_ge,{f,51},[{x,2},{integer,97}]}. {test,is_ge,{f,51},[{integer,122},{x,2}]}. {label,50}. {move,{x,5},{x,0}}. return. {label,51}. return. Looking at the STDLIB application, there were 112 lines of BIF calls in guards that beam_bool failed to convert to test instructions. This commit eliminates all those BIF calls. Here is how I counted the instructions: $ PATH=$ERL_TOP/bin:$PATH erlc -I ../include -I ../../kernel/include -S *.erl $ grep "bif,'[=<>]" *.S | grep -v f,0 dets.S: {bif,'=:=',{f,547},[{x,4},{atom,read_write}],{x,4}}. dets.S: {bif,'=:=',{f,547},[{x,5},{atom,saved}],{x,5}}. dets.S: {bif,'=:=',{f,589},[{x,5},{atom,read}],{x,5}}. . . . $ grep "bif,'[=<>]" *.S | grep -v f,0 | wc 112 224 6765 $
2016-11-18Suppress warnings from v3_kernel when inlining is turned onBjörn Gustavsson
v3_kernel may produce unwanted and confusing warnings for code that has been inlined with the new inliner (cerl_inline). Consider this code: -compile(inline). compute1(X) -> add(X, 0). compute2(X, Y) -> add(X, Y). add(1, 0) -> 1; add(1, Y) -> %% "this clause cannot match..." 1 + Y; add(X, Y) -> X + Y. v3_kernel warns because add/2 has been inlined into compute1/1 and only the first clause in add/2 will match. But the other clauses are needed when add/2 is inlined into compute2/2, so the user cannot do anything to eliminate the warning (short of manually inlining add/2, defeating the purpose of the 'inline' option). The warning would be reasonable if compute2/2 didn't exist, but it would be too complicated for the compiler to figure whether a warning make sense or not. Therefore, suppress all warnings generated by v3_kernel if cerl_inline has been run. ERL-301
