The inliner was ignorant of on_load functions and would discard them
(unless they were exported or referenced).

Compiling the same source code with the same options may not produce
the same BEAM file because the compilation time is included in the
"CInf" chunk.

In the following code excerpt, the instruction marked below was
incorrectly removed:
.
.
.
{'try',{y,2},{f,TryCaseLabel}}.
{bif,get,{f,0},[{x,0}],{x,0}}.
{move,{x,1},{y,0}}.
{move,{x,3},{y,1}}. <======= Incorrectly removed
{jump,{f,TryEndLabel}}.
{label,TryEndLabel}.
{try_end,{y,2}}.
{deallocate,3}.
return.
{label,TryCaseLabel}.
{try_case,{y,2}}.
.
.
.
beam_utils indicated that {y,1} was not used at TryEndLabel,
which by itself is correct. But it is still not safe to remove
the instruction, because {y,1} might be used at TryCaseLabel
if an exception occurs.

Modules would not get excluded. While at it, no longer exclude
sys_pre_attributes since we will want to test it.

We need to write a test case in Core Erlang in order to cover
make_effect_seq/2, since v3_core does not generate "deep" Core Erlang
code.
|
|
|
|
On my Mac Pro with 8 cores, this change make self_compile/1 more
than twice as fast, and self_compile_old_inliner/1 more than 4 times
faster.
|
|
In the self compilation test cases, the compiler compiles itself
and runs the newly compiled version on a slave node. Having the
cover server starting on the slave node defeats the purpose of
the test, since it will load the SAME cover-compiled code on the
slave node. (It will also be slower, but will not improve coverage
since it compiles the same source files again.)
Use a shielded node to prevent the cover server from getting
started on the slave node.
|
|
We probably don't gain anything by using more processes than available
schedulers. Also, if 'cover' is being run, using more than one process
may make it slower, so we will be very conservative and use only one
process in that case.
|
|
This test suite has been superseded by other test suites (e.g.
guard_SUITE). Removing it does not decrease the coverage.
|
|
In order to save space, rewrite suitable calls to erlang:error/{1,2}
to special BEAM instructions.
This code is probably longer than the code taken out of v3_life and
v3_codegen in the previous commit, but it is much easier to
understand and maintain since the BEAM assembler format is better
understood than the v3_life format.
|
|
In the v3_life pass, it is assumed that a 'match_fail' primop
only occur at the top-level and at the end of a function.
But this code:
do_split_cases(A) ->
case A of
x ->
Z = dummy1;
_ ->
Z = dummy2,
a=b
end,
Z.
will be optimized by sys_core_fold to the following code:
'split_cases'/1 =
fun (_cor0) ->
let <_cor7,Z> =
case _cor0 of
<'x'> when 'true' ->
< 'dummy1','dummy1' >
<_cor6> when 'true' ->
%% Here follows a 'match_fail' primop inside
%% multiple return values:
< primop 'match_fail'({'badmatch','b'}),'dummy2' >
end
in
Z
moving the 'match_fail' primop into a "values" construction.
In the future, we would like to get rid of the v3_life pass (it is
there for historical reasons), so in the mean-time we prefer to not
add more code to it by generalizing the handling of 'match_fail'.
Since the 'match_fail' primop can be simulated by erlang:error/{1,2},
the simplest solution is to translate 'match_fail' to a call to
erlang:error/{1,2} in v3_kernel and remove the handling of
'match_fail' in v3_life and v3_codegen.
It is tempting to get rid of 'match_fail' also in the Core Erlang
format, but there are two issues:
- Removing the support for 'match_fail' completely may break tools
that generate Core Erlang code. We should not do that in a minor
release.
- There is no easy way to generate a 'function_clause' exception
that will remain correct if it will be inlined into another
function. (Calling "erlang:error(function_clause, Args)" is
fine only if it is not inlined into another function.) A good
solution probably involves introducing new instructions, which
is better done in a major release.

* bjorn/compiler/options/OTP-9752:
filename documentation: Recommend against using filename:find_src/1,2
Teach filename:find_src/1,2 to handle slim or stripped BEAM files
filename: Eliminate failing call to Mod:module_info(source_file)
filename.erl:filter_options/1: Remove handling of dead options
compiler: Don't include {cwd,_} in module_info(compile)
compiler: Don't include source code options in module_info(compile)
hipe: Teach hipe to handle slim or stripped BEAM files
|

As far as I know, the purpose of the compiler options included in
Mod:module_info(compile) has never been documented.
An educated guess is that they are there in case you want to
re-compile the module with the same options, and also to aid in
debugging when you need to know how a module was compiled.
In neither case is there any need to include options given in the
source itself in options included in Mod:module_info(compile).
Including those options will only waste memory.
Therefore, only include in the BEAM file the options that were
given to compile:file/2.

Starting in ff432e262e65243cbc983fcb002527f8fae8c78b, sys_pre_expand
passes external funs through to the downstream passes. It used to
translate external funs to a call to erlang:make_fun/3. Therefore, we
will now need to handle external funs in sys_expand_pmod.
Noticed-by: Stavros Aronis

Currently, the external fun syntax "fun M:F/A" only supports
literals. That is, "fun lists:reverse/1" is allowed but not
"fun M:F/A".
In many real-life situations, some or all of M, F, A are
not known until run-time, and one is forced to either use
the undocumented erlang:make_fun/3 BIF or to use a
"tuple fun" (which is deprecated).
EEP-23 suggests that the parser (erl_parse) should immediately
transform "fun M:F/A" to "erlang:make_fun(M, F, A)". We have
not followed that approach in this implementation, because we
want the abstract code to mirror the source code as closely
as possible, and we also consider erlang:make_fun/3 to
be an implementation detail that we might want to remove in
the future.
Instead, we will change the abstract format for "fun M:F/A" (in a way
that is not backwards compatible), and while we are at it, we will
move the translation from "fun M:F/A" to "erlang:make_fun(M, F, A)"
from sys_pre_expand down to the v3_core pass. We will also update
the debugger and xref to use the new format.
We did consider making the abstract format backward compatible if
no variables were used in the fun, but decided against it. Keeping
it backward compatible would mean that there would be different
abstract formats for the no-variable and variable case, and tools
would have to handle both formats, probably forever.

It is tempting to transform code such as:
fun(X) -> M:foo(X) end
to:
fun M:foo/1
Unfortunately, that transformation is not safe if
M happens to be a parameterized module. Add a test
case so that we don't attempt to do such an optimization
in the future.

The two noncharacter code points 16#FFFE and 16#FFFF were not
allowed to be encoded or decoded using the unicode module or
bit syntax. That causes an inconsistency, since the noncharacters
16#FDD0 to 16#FDEF could be encoded/decoded.
There is two ways to fix that inconsistency.
We have chosen to allow 16#FFFE and 16#FFFF to be encoded and
decoded, because the noncharacters could be useful internally
within an application and it will make encoding and decoding
slightly faster.

This commit is a preparation for introducing location information
(filename/line number) in stacktraces in exceptions. Currently
a stack trace looks like:
[{Mod1,Function1,Arity1},
.
.
.
{ModN,FunctionN,ArityN}]
Add a forth element to each tuple that can be used indication
the filename and line number of the source file:
[{Mod1,Function1,Arity1,Location1},
.
.
.
{ModN,FunctionN,ArityN,LocationN}]
In this commit, the fourth element will just be an empty list,
and we will change all code that look at or manipulate stacktraces.

Since the introduction of improved record optimizations in
1858cb81391d2bce29b4b7620574ca60128cebf7 and
470c91d43eae54f63661645acbce4b92d73287cc, the optimization of
a is_record/3 call with a known correct type in
beam_type:simplify_basic_1/3 has not been covered.

In 3d0f4a3085f11389e5b22d10f96f0cbf08c9337f (an update to conform
with common_test), in all test_lib:recompile(?MODULE) calls, ?MODULE
was changed to the actual name of the module. That would cause
test_lib:recompile/1 to compile the module with the incorrect
compiler options in cloned modules such as record_no_opt_SUITE,
causing worse coverage.

The compiler (sys_core_fold) tries to avoid constructing tuples
in case expressions. The following code:
c(A, B) ->
case {A,B} of
{ok,X} -> X;
{_,_} -> error
end.
will be rewritten so that no tuple is built. If a clause
requires a tuple to be built as in this code:
c(A, B) ->
case {A,B} of
{ok,X} -> X;
V -> V %The tuple will be built here
end.
the tuple will be built in the clause(s) in which it is needed.
If the value returned from the case is not used as in this code:
c(A, B) ->
case {A,B} of
V -> V %Warning: a term is constructed, but never used
end,
ok.
there will be an incorrect warning. Basically, what happens is
that the code is reduced to:
c(A, B) ->
{A,B}, %Warning: a term is constructed, but never used
ok.
and the optimizer sees that the {A,B} tuple can't possibly be used.
Eliminate the warning by adding a 'compiler_generated' annotation
to the tuple.

In the following code:
m(<<Sz:8,_:Sz/binary>>) ->
Sz = wrong.
the Sz variable is supposed to be bound in the function header and the
matching "Sz = wrong" should cause a badarg exception. But what
happens is that the Sz variables seems to be unbound and the matching
succeds and the m/1 function returns 'wrong'.
If the Sz variable is used directly (not matched), it will have
the expected value. Thus the following code:
m(<<Sz:8,_:Sz/binary>>) ->
Sz.
will correctly return the value of Sz that was matched out from
the binary.

* jp/dependencies_makefile:
Add dependencies Makefile generation to erlc(1) and compile(3)
Conflicts:
lib/compiler/test/compile_SUITE.erl
OTP-9065
|

This is useful when a project is built with Makefiles and erlc(1)
instead of EMakefiles. Tracking dependencies by hand is error-prone and
it becomes painful when using external application headers like EUnit's
one.
A dependencies Makefile will look like this:
module.beam: module.erl \
/usr/local/lib/erlang/lib/eunit-2.1.4/include/eunit.hrl \
header.hrl
When included in the main Makefile, 'module' will be recompiled only
when needed.
GCC offers the same feature and new erlc(1) options are compatible with
it.
