2016-01-07beam_bool: Fix unsafe optimizationBjörn Gustavsson
beam_bool would make the following code unsafe (which would be reported by beam_validator): scotland(Echo) -> found(case Echo of Echo when true; Echo, Echo, Echo -> Echo; echo -> [] end, Echo = placed). found(_, _) -> million. Basically, beam_bool would see that the 'case' would always return the value of Echo. Thus: scotland(Echo) -> found(Echo, Echo = placed). The only problem is that beam_bool would also remove a 'move' instruction that would save Echo to the stack. Here is the assembly code for part of the function: {allocate_zero,1,1}. {move,{x,0},{y,0}}. %% Save Echo on stack. {bif,'=:=',{f,7},[{x,0},{atom,true}],{x,1}}. {bif,'=:=',{f,7},[{x,0},{atom,true}],{x,2}}. {bif,'=:=',{f,7},[{x,0},{atom,true}],{x,3}}. {bif,'and',{f,7},[{x,2},{x,3}],{x,2}}. {bif,'and',{f,7},[{x,1},{x,2}],{x,1}}. {jump,{f,8}}. {label,7}. {move,{atom,false},{x,1}}. {label,8}. {bif,'or',{f,6},[{atom,true},{x,1}],{x,1}}. {test,is_eq_exact,{f,6},[{x,1},{atom,true}]}. %% Jump never taken. {jump,{f,5}}. {label,6}. {test,is_eq_exact,{f,9},[{x,0},{atom,echo}]}. {move,nil,{x,0}}. {jump,{f,5}}. {label,9}. {test_heap,3,0}. {put_tuple,2,{x,0}}. {put,{atom,case_clause}}. {put,{y,0}}. {line,[{location,"t.erl",5}]}. {call_ext,1,{extfunc,erlang,error,1}}. {jump,{f,5}}. {label,5}. {test,is_eq_exact,{f,12},[{atom,placed},{y,0}]}. beam_bool would see that the is_eq_exact test at label 8 would always succeed. It could therefore remove most of the code before the jump to label 5. Unfortunately it also removed the essential move of Echo to the stack: {allocate_zero,1,1}. %% Instruction incorrectly removed: {move,{x,0},{y,0}}. {jump,{f,5}}. {label,5}. {test,is_eq_exact,{f,12},[{atom,placed},{y,0}]}. The root cause of the problem is that the 'move' instruction is included in the block of 'bif' instructions before label 8. Normally the 'move' instruction would not have been discarded, but because the left operand to the 'or' BIF is 'true', the entire block with 'bif' instructions are dropped. As far as I can see, there is no gain by including 'move' instructions in the first place. There is no way that better code will be produced. In fact, the entire optimization can be given up if 'move' instructions are found in the block. Thus we can fix this bug by never including any 'move' instructions in the block of 'bif' instructions. We can also remove all the code that deals with 'move' instructions within blocks. Reported-by: Thomas Arts

2015-11-20Fix missing filename and line number in warningBjörn Gustavsson
When the 'bin_opt_info' is given, warnings without filenames and line numbers could sometimes be produced: no_file: Warning: INFO: matching non-variables after a previous clause matching a variable will prevent delayed sub binary optimization The reason for the missing information is that #c_alias{} records lack location information. There are several ways to fix the problem. The easiest seems to be to get the location information from the code). Noticed-by: José Valim

2015-09-04compiler: Fix get_map_elements register corruptionBjörn-Egil Dahlberg
Instruction get_map_elements might destroy target registers when the fail-label is taken. Only seen for patterns with two, and only two, target registers. Specifically: we copy one register, and then jump. foo(A,#{a := V1, b := V2}) -> ... foo(A,#{b := V}) -> ... call foo(value, #{a=>whops, c=>42}). corresponding assembler: {test,is_map,{f,5},[{x,1}]}. {get_map_elements,{f,7},{x,1},{list,[{atom,a},{x,1},{atom,b},{x,2}]}}. %% if 'a' exists but not 'b' {x,1} is overwritten, jump {f,7} {move,{integer,1},{x,0}}. {call_only,3,{f,10}}. {label,7}. {get_map_elements,{f,8},{x,1},{list,[{atom,b},{x,2}]}}. %% {x,1} (src) is read with a corrupt value {move,{x,0},{x,1}}. {move,{integer,2},{x,0}}. {call_only,3,{f,10}}. The fix is to remove 'opt_moves' pass for get_map_elements instruction in the case of two or more destinations. Reported-by: Valery Tikhonov

The optimization introduced in 0a0d39d351fc could cause spurious warnings of the type: "a term is constructed, but never used". That would happen for constructs in effect context. To avoid those warnings, we will need to apply warning suppression also in effect context.

2015-05-21Don't make 'compiler' dependent on 'tools'Björn Gustavsson
In a5d724cf240a, a debug option for running eprof on a specific compiler pass was added. That commit added a direct call to the eprof module in the tools application, and therefore the test case otp_SUITE:runtime_dependencies/1 would fail because xref would find a call to the tools application, but tools is not listed as a runtime dependency in compiler.app. Since the 'eprof' option is only likely to be used by compiler maintainers, we don't want a real dependency to the tools application. Therefore, use c:appcall/4 to hide the call to the eprof module (and to report the error nicely if the tools application is missing).

2015-05-13sys_core_fold: Eliminate warnings for unused termsBjörn Gustavsson
The optimization introduced in 0a0d39d351fc would cause spurious warnings of the type: "a term is constructed, but never used". To avoid the warning, we must mark not only tuples and lists as compiler_generated, but also each element. We must also propagate compiler_generated annotations in lets. For example, if we have: let <X -| ['compiler_generated']> = 42 in X + 1 we must propagate the compiler_generated annotation to the literal when do constant propagation: 42 -| ['compiler_generated'] + 1
