2016-05-09compiler: Let module_info(attributes) skip more attributesHans Bolinder
'callback' and 'optional_callbacks' are no longer wild attributes.

* bjorn/compiler/core-erlang-fixes: Slightly optimize core_pp v3_core: Don't depend on sys_core_fold for cleaning up
2016-04-28dialyzer: Unfold cerl patterns containing mapsMagnus Lång
Dialyzer relies heavily on the assumption that the type of a literal that is used as a pattern is the type of any value that can match that pattern. For maps, that is not true, and it was causing bad analysis results. A new help function dialyzer_utils:refold_pattern/1 identifies maps in literal patterns, and unfolds and labels them, allowing them to be properly analysed.
2016-04-28Slightly optimize core_ppBjörn Gustavsson
2016-04-28v3_core: Don't depend on sys_core_fold for cleaning upBjörn Gustavsson
v3_core would generate unsafe code for the following example: f() -> {ok={error,E}} = foo(), E. Internally, the code would look similar to: f() -> Var = foo(), error({badmatch,Var}), E. That is, there would remain a reference to an unbound variable. Normally, sys_core_fold would remove the reference to 'E', but if if optimization was disabled the compiler would crash.
2016-04-27compilation_SUITE: Use explicit exportsBjörn Gustavsson
With 'export_all' it is easy to add a new test case function and forget to add its name to the list of test cases to run. While we are it, remove unused functions and add the forgotten test case on_load_inline/1.
2016-04-27Remove support for running tests on a separate Erlang nodeBjörn Gustavsson
It has not been used for ages.
2016-04-27Move code from compilation_SUITE to beam_block_SUITEBjörn Gustavsson
2016-04-27Move list comprehension tests to lc_SUITEBjörn Gustavsson
2016-04-27Move catch tests to trycatch_SUITEBjörn Gustavsson
2016-04-27Remove compilation_SUITE:long_string/1Björn Gustavsson
long_string/1 was written to test that long string were handled efficiently in beam_asm. Strings used to be stored in the string table chunk, but are currently literals. There does not seem that this test case is likely to find any bugs.
2016-04-27Move pattern-matching tests to match_SUITEBjörn Gustavsson
2016-04-27Remove toothless test compile_SUITE:missing_testheap/1Björn Gustavsson
missing_testheap/1 is no longer relevant for the following reasons: 1) Because of the literal pool introduced in R12, no test_heap instructions are needed in the guards. 2) beam_validator would abort the compilation if any needed test_heap instructions were missing.
2016-04-27misc_SUITE: Add missing export of integer_encoding/0Björn Gustavsson
The integer_encoding/1 test is supposed to be run with a tighter timetrap ensure that encoding of integer in BEAM files is efficient enough.
2016-04-27Move test cases from compilation_SUITE to beam_utils_SUITEBjörn Gustavsson
beam_utils_SUITE didn't exist when the two test cases were written.
2016-04-27Move complex_guard/1 from compilation_SUITE to guard_SUITEBjörn Gustavsson
2016-04-27Remove compilation_SUITE:guards/1Björn Gustavsson
Obsoleted by guard_SUITE (especially literal_type_tests/1).
2016-04-27Move tests from compilation_SUITE to record_SUITEBjörn Gustavsson
2016-04-27Move bit syntax test cases from compilation_SUITE to bs_match_SUITEBjörn Gustavsson
We used to put code that would crash the compiler into compilation_SUITE_data. That way we would have a failing test case to remind us to fix a bug. Nowadays, we generally fix the bug and write the test case at the same time. Therefore it makes more sense to put the test code directly into a test suite. Move out bin_syntax_1 through bin_syntax_5 test cases. Scrap bin_syntax_6 because it does not longer seems to be relevant. While we are it, rename the fun_shadow/1 test to size_shadow/1. Also make sure that the code produces the correct result.
2016-04-27Remove useless test case compilation_SUITE:otp_2141/1Björn Gustavsson
2016-04-27compilation_SUITE: Run the Core linter for all compilationsBjörn Gustavsson
2016-04-25compiler: Remove use of crypto:rand_bytes/1Ingela Anderton Andin
Use case in compile.erl is cryptographical so use crypto:strong_rand_bytes/1 instead. Use case in test suite is not cryptographical so use other test instead.
2016-04-25Merge branch 'bjorn/compiler/remove-timestamps/OTP-13504'Björn Gustavsson
* bjorn/compiler/remove-timestamps/OTP-13504: Remove timestamps from BEAM files
2016-04-25Remove timestamps from BEAM filesBjörn Gustavsson
As long as anyone can remember, the compilation time has been included in BEAM files (and can be retrieved using Mod:module_info(compile)). The timestamp has caused problems for anyone using tools such as 'cmp' to compare BEAM files or for package managers: http://erlang.org/pipermail/erlang-questions/2016-April/088717.html Rarely has the timestamp been of any use. Yes, sometimes the timestamp could help to figuring out which version of a module was used, but nowadays a better way is to use Mod:module_info(md5). To get rid of this problem, remove the timestamp from BEAM files in OTP 19. Don't add an option to include timestamps. Utilities that depend on the timestamp will need to be modified. For example: http://erlang.org/pipermail/erlang-questions/2016-April/088730.html Instead of using the compilation time, the MD5 for the BEAM code can be used. Example: 1> c:module_info(md5). <<79,26,188,243,168,60,58,45,34,69,19,222,138,190,214,118>> 2> beam_lib:md5(code:which(c)). {ok,{c,<<79,26,188,243,168,60,58,45,34,69,19,222,138,190,214,118>>}} 3>
2016-04-21Add compile_SUITE:core_roundtrip/1Björn Gustavsson
When debugging, it is important that we can trust the Core Erlang pretty printer and Core Erlang parser.
2016-04-21v3_core: Construct {badmap,Map} as literal if possibleBjörn Gustavsson
2016-04-21core_pp: Print {file,File} annotations more compactlyBjörn Gustavsson
This will speed up test cases that print all annotations.
2016-04-21core_pp: Add format_all/1 that prints all annotationsBjörn Gustavsson
2016-04-21core_parse: Don't sort map patternsBjörn Gustavsson
If we pretty print to a file and read it back in, we expect to get the same cerl data structures back.
2016-04-21core_parse: Handle annotations in more contextsBjörn Gustavsson
Annotations would not be accepted for all constructs.
2016-04-21cerl_trees: Correct handling of maps in label/2Björn Gustavsson
Make sure that we don't convert a map pattern to a map expression.
2016-04-21cerl: Add missing API function is_c_map_pattern/1Björn Gustavsson
2016-04-20Eliminate Dialyzer warnings for unmatched returnsBjörn Gustavsson

* bjorn/compiler/misc-opt: v3_kernel: Construct literal lists properly Use the register map in %live in beam_utils:is_killed_block/2 Teach beam_utils to check liveness for put_map instructions beam_peep: Help out beam_jump
2016-04-14v3_kernel: Construct literal lists properlyBjörn Gustavsson
Use cerl:make_list/1 instead of a home-made make_list/1 to ensure that literal lists are constructed as literals. In a future release, we would like to forbid in the loader construction of literal lists using instructions like: put_list {atom,a} [] Dst The proper way is: move {literal,[a]} {x,0} Also update the comment about "put_list Const [] Dst" in ops.tab.
2016-04-14Use the register map in %live in beam_utils:is_killed_block/2Björn Gustavsson
In 1f0ae04d374, a complete register map was introduced in the %live instructions thar are added by beam_utils:live_opt/1. Use the register map to improve beam_utils:is_killed_block/2.

2016-04-11Teach beam_utils to check liveness for put_map instructionsBjörn Gustavsson
2016-04-11beam_peep: Help out beam_jumpBjörn Gustavsson
beam_jump fails to optimize the following: jump 2 label 1 label 2 Since this situation is rare, instead of complicating beam_jump, add the optimization to beam_peep. It will always succeed, since adjacent labels have been coalesced.
2016-04-08Remove unreachable code after 'raise' instructionsBjörn Gustavsson
Remove the unreachable instructions after a 'raise' instruction (e.g. a 'jump' or 'deallocate', 'return') to decrease code size.
2016-03-24Fix compile:forms/1,2 crash when not in an existing directoryBjörn Gustavsson
compile:forms/1,2 will crash when the current working directory has been deleted. Fix that problem, and while we are at it, also stop including {source,""} in module_info() when no source code file is given. Reported-at: http://bugs.erlang.org/browse/ERL-113 Reported-by: Adam Lindberg
2016-03-17compile: Pre-load compiler modules when invoked from 'erlc'Björn Gustavsson
Slightly speed up 'erlc' by pre-loading the modules used by the compiler. Write a test case to ensure that the correct set of modules are loaded.

2016-03-10beam_block: Eliminate unsafe optimizationBjörn Gustavsson
Consider this code: %% Start of block get_tuple_element Tuple 0 Element get_map_elements Fail Map [Key => Dest] . . . move Element UltimateDest %% End of block Fail: %% Code that uses Element. beam_block (more precisely, otp_tuple_element/1) would incorrectly transform the code to this: %% Start of block get_map_elements Fail Map [Key => Dest] . . . get_tuple_element Tuple 0 UltimateDest %% End of block Fail: %% Code that uses Element. That is, the code at label Fail would use register Element, which is either uninitalized or contains the wrong value. We could fix this problem by always keeping label information at hand when optimizing blocks so that we could check the code at the failure label for get_map_elements. That would require changes to beam_block and beam_utils. We might consider doing that in the future if it turns out be worth it. For now, I have decided that I want to keep the simplicity of blocks (allowing them to be optimized without keeping label information). That could be achieved by not including get_map_elements in blocks. Another way, which I have chosen, is to only allow get_map_elements as the first instruction in the block. For background on the bug: c288ab8 introduced the beam_reorder pass and 5f431276 introduced opt_tuple_element() in beam_block.
2016-03-01Generalize bit string comprehensionsBjörn Gustavsson
The expression in a bit string comprehension is limited to a literal bit string expression. That is, the following code is legal: << <<X>> || X <- List >> but not this code: << foo(X) || X <- List >> The limitation is annoying. For one thing, tools that transform the abstract format must be careful not to produce code such as: << begin %% Some instrumentation code. <<X>> end || X <- List >> One reason for the limitation could be that we'll get reduce/reduce conflicts if we try to allow an arbitrary expression in a bit string comprehension: binary_comprehension -> '<<' expr '||' lc_exprs '>>' : {bc,?anno('$1'),'$2','$4'}. Unfortunately, there does not seem to be an easy way to work around that problem. The best we can do is to allow 'expr_max' expressions (as in the binary syntax): binary_comprehension -> '<<' expr_max '||' lc_exprs '>>' : {bc,?anno('$1'),'$2','$4'}. That will work, but functions calls must be enclosed in parentheses: << (foo(X)) || X <- List >>
