2017-04-25warnings_as_errors and outdir do not affect code generationJosé Valim
By moving to effects_code_generation/1, there is no need to explicitly remove those options when storing compile information in the DebugInfo chunk.
2017-04-25Store abstract code in the Dbgi chunkJosé Valim
The new Dbgi chunk returns data in the following format: {debug_info_v1, Backend, Data} This allows compilers to store the debug info in different formats. In order to retrieve a particular format, for instance, Erlang Abstract Format, one may invoke: Backend:debug_info(erlang_v1, Module, Data, Opts) Besides introducing the chunk above, this commit also: * Changes beam_lib:chunk(Beam, [:abstract_code]) to read from the new Dbgi chunk while keeping backwards compatibility with old .beams * Adds the {debug_info, {Backend, Data}} option to compile:file/2 and friends that are stored in the Dbgi chunk. This allows the debug info encryption mechanism to work across compilers * Improves dialyzer to work directly on Core Erlang, allowing languages that do not have the Erlang Abstract Format to be dialyzer as long as they emit the new chunk and their backend implementation is available Backwards compatibility is kept across the board except for those calling beam_lib:chunk(Beam, ["Abst"]), as the old chunk is no longer available. Note however the "Abst" chunk has always been optional. Future OTP versions may remove parsing the "Abst" chunk altogether from beam_lib once Erlang 19 and earlier is no longer supported. The current Dialyzer implementation still supports earlier .beam files and such may also be removed in future versions.

2017-04-20compile: Remove the r12 through r15 optionsBjörn Gustavsson
The main purpose of these options is compatibility with old Erlang systems. Since it is no longer possible to communicate with R15B or earlier, we no longer need the r12 through r15 options.
2017-04-19Enhance type-driven optimisation in beam_type.erlMichal Muskala
* kill type information only for affected registers in get_map_elements * bs_get_utf* will produce integers of unicode range This optimises code created by Elixir compiler, where: <<x::utf8,_::binary>> when x in 1..10 will compile the guard to is_integer(X) andalso X >= 1 andalso X =< 10 This allows us to eliminate the is_integer check. * bs_get_float will produce a float * allow to carry type information over other bs instructions killing only the affected registers * kill only x registers after call_fun and apply instructions

core_scan will now support and require atoms encoded in UTF-8.
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
