2013-12-19Eliminate bottlenecks in sys_core_foldBjörn Gustavsson
Compiling programs with very many uses of the "dot notation" for extracting a record element could be very slow. The reason is that each extraction of a record element (R#r.a) would first be transformed to code like this: case R of {r,rec0,_,_} -> rec0; _ -> error({badrecord,r}) end In Core Erlang, each '_' would be become a new variable. The resulting code would be optimized by sys_core_fold, but the optimization process could be very slow. Profiling shows that sub_del_var/2 was the worst bottleneck, and the sub_is_val/2 the second worst bottleneck. In both cases, the culprit is the linear traversal of a very long list (the list of variable substitutions). Fortunately, there already is a gb_set (the scope) which contains all variables that are currently live. If a variable is not known to be live, it is no point in doing the linear operation on the list.
2013-12-18Officially support building core filesTuncer Ayaz
erlc is wired to treat *.core files as core and build them as compile:file(File, [from_core]), but this is not documented. There's also an udocumented compile:file/2 option called 'from_core'. This has been in place and in use for a long time. Therefore, it should be supported officially. To fix that, make the following changes: * document erlc handling of *.core files * document 'from_core'
2013-12-18Officially support building assembler filesTuncer Ayaz
erlc is wired to treat *.S files as assembler and build them as compile:file(File, [from_asm]), but this is not documented. There's also a documented compile:file/2 option called 'asm' (mapping to 'from_asm'), but the wording discourages its use. All of this has been in place and in use for a long time. Therefore, it should be supported officially. To fix that, make the following changes: * document erlc handling of *.core files * un-document 'asm' and document 'from_asm' instead * deprecate 'asm' While at it, fix a minor typo in the test suite.

2013-12-13Keep exit blocks in order when moving them in beam_jumpAnthony Ramine
This makes applying the pass a second time a no-op.

2013-12-13Collect all optimised allocate instructions in beam_blockAnthony Ramine
Any init instruction following an allocate is put in the Inits list of the corresponding alloc tuple.
2013-12-13Properly collect allocate_zero instructions in beam_blockAnthony Ramine
If an allocate_zero instruction is fed to beam_block and the beam_type pass is not used afterwards (e.g. with erlc +no_topt), the 'no_opt' atom will be rejected by beam_flatten.
2013-12-13Properly let floating-point instructions through in the BEAM compilerAnthony Ramine
The compiler shouldn't crash when fed an already-optimised BEAM assembly file.
2013-12-12Test named funsAnthony Ramine
2013-12-12EEP 37: Funs with namesAnthony Ramine
This adds optional names to fun expressions. A named fun expression is parsed as a tuple `{named_fun,Loc,Name,Clauses}` in erl_parse. If a fun expression has a name, it must be present and be the same in every of its clauses. The function name shadows the environment of the expression shadowing the environment and it is shadowed by the environment of the clauses' arguments. An unused function name triggers a warning unless it is prefixed by _, just as every variable. Variable _ is allowed as a function name. It is not an error to put a named function in a record field default value. When transforming to Core Erlang, the named fun Fun is changed into the following expression: letrec 'Fun'/Arity = fun (Args) -> let <Fun> = 'Fun'/Arity in Case in 'Fun'/Arity where Args is the list of arguments of 'Fun'/Arity and Case the Core Erlang expression corresponding to the clauses of Fun. This transformation allows us to entirely skip any k_var to k_local transformation in the fun's clauses bodies.

2013-11-22Rename otp_8949_a/0 which common_test interprets as an info functionBjörn Gustavsson
Before running a test case named testcase/1, common_test will call testcase/0 (the info function). Exceptions and illegal return values would be silently ignored. In a planned update to common_test, errors will instead cause the test case to fail. The test case otp_8949_a/1 has a helper function called otp_8949_a/0. Rename it to do_otp_8949_a/0. While at it, also fix a copy and paste bug in the list of test cases. otp_8949_a was run twice; otp_8949_b was never run.

files as delimiters. While working on a tool that processes Erlang code and testing it against this repo, I found out about those little sneaky 0xff. I thought it may be of help to other people build such tools to remove non-conforming-to-standard characters.

2013-09-05compiler: Conform returned errors to the documented formatBjörn Gustavsson
ErrorInfo is documented to be: {ErrorLine,Module,ErrorDescriptor} but for some errors with line numbers it would look like: {Module,ErrorDescriptor} Ensure that all ErrorInfo tuples have three elements. Use 'none' instead of a line number: {none,Module,ErrorDescriptor} There already are errors that return 'none' when no line number is available, but that convention was not documented. Mention it in the documentation. Also make sure that the compiler will not print 'none' as a line number in error messages (if the 'report_errors' option is given) as that looks stupid. That is, when attempting to compile a non-existing module, the error message should be: non-existing.erl: no such file or directory and not: non-existing.erl:none: no such file or directory

If 'after' blocks are not lifted, the ids of functions in their bodies must be killed and it can make stacktraces more confusing than they should. We lift them to zeroary functions to avoid unnecessary killings and duplication of code.

2013-07-03Restrict inlining of local fun referencesAnthony Ramine
Local fun references look like plain old variables in the Core Erlang AST but should not be treated as such. Inlining of such expressions is now restricted to application contexts as a local fun reference should never occur in a guard. This is not perfect as it forbids inlining in some safe situations, but that is still better than a compiler crash.

This complements 933e701 (OTP-10209). Without this patch the test cases "in_guard/1" and "coerce_to_float/1" in bs_construct_SUITE fail. The added lines in bs_construct_SUITE cover all branches that were not covered before (small and big numbers if BIT_OFFSET(erts_bin_offset) != 0).
