2011-11-02Test calling a parameterized module within a funBjörn Gustavsson
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.
2011-10-27Remove unused */doc/src/make.dep filesBjörn Gustavsson
These dependency files was once used when building the documentation, but are no longer needed.
2011-10-13Allow noncharacter code points in unicode encoding and decodingBjörn Gustavsson
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.

2011-10-07Automatically generate 'behaviour_info' function from '-callback' attributesStavros Aronis
'behaviour_info(callbacks)' is a special function that is defined in a module which describes a behaviour and returns a list of its callbacks. This function is now automatically generated using the '-callback' specs. An error is returned by lint if user defines both '-callback' attributes and the behaviour_info/1 function. If no type info is needed for a callback use a generic spec for it.
2011-10-07Add '-callback' attribute to language syntaxStavros Aronis
Behaviours may define specs for their callbacks using the familiar spec syntax, replacing the '-spec' keyword with '-callback'. Simple lint checks are performed to ensure that no callbacks are defined twice and all types referred are declared. These attributes can be then used by tools to provide documentation to the behaviour or find discrepancies in the callback definitions in the callback module.

2011-09-14sys_pre_expand: Don't duplicate options given in the source codeBjörn Gustavsson
Any compiler options given with a -compile() attribute in source file would be included both at the beginning and the end of the option list for the compiler. Including the options twice is harmless during compilation, but since the options will also be available in Mod:module_info(compile), including them twice will waste memory. Include the options from the source first in the list so that they override options given on the command line.

2011-08-16compiler: Don't create filenames starting with "./"Björn Gustavsson
In the location information tables in the run-time system, source filenames that are the same as the module name plus ".erl" extension are not stored explicitly, thus saving memory. To take advantage of that optimization, avoid complicating the names of files in the current working directory; specifically, make sure that "./" is not prepended to the name.
2011-08-16emulator: Add a fourth element in exception stacktracesBjörn Gustavsson
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.

2011-08-16Fix binary matching in the debuggerBjörn Gustavsson
'eval_bits' is a common utility module used for evaluting binary construction and matching. The functions that do matching (match_bits/{6,7} and bin_gen/6) are supposed to treat the bindings as an abstract data type, but they assume that the bindings have the same representation as in the erl_eval module. That may cause binary matching to fail in the debugger, because the debugger represents the bindings as an unordered list of two-tuples, while the erl_eval modules uses an ordered list of two-tuple (an ordset). One way to fix the problem would be to let the debugger to use ordered lists to represent the bindings. Unfortunately, that would also change how the bindings are presented in the user interface. Currently, the variable have most been recently assigned is shown first, which is convenient. Fix the matching problem by mending the leaky abstraction in eval_bits. The matching functions needs to be passed two additional operations: one for looking up a variable in the bindings and one for adding a binding. Those operations could be passed as two more funs (in addition to the evaluation and match fun already passed), but the functions already have too many arguments. Therefore, change the meaning of the match fun, so that the first argument is the operation to perform ('match', 'binding', or 'add_binding') and second argument is a tuple with arguments for the operation.

2011-04-12bs_match_SUITE: Improve coverage of beam_bsmBjörn Gustavsson
2011-04-12beam_bsm: Eliminate uncovered line in warning generationBjörn Gustavsson
In warning_translate_label/2, gb_trees:lookup/2 is called to translate from the entry label for a function to its name. Since the gb_tree has an entry for all functions in the module, there is no way that the lookup can fail unless there is a serious bug. Therefore, use gb_trees:get/2 so that an exception and an internal compiler error will be generated if the lookup would ever fail.
2011-04-12match_SUITE: Cover a clause in beam_dead:forward/4Björn Gustavsson
2011-04-12beam_dead: Remove uncovered special case handling of empty blocksBjörn Gustavsson
There is never any empty blocks when beam_dead is invoked. Even if there were, they will be removed a little bit later in forward/4.
2011-04-12beam_dead: Remove uncovered clauses in binary matching optimizationBjörn Gustavsson
In the optimization of binary matching, it seems that two clauses cannot never be reached. Removing the clauses is safe, since that would only mean that an opportunity for an optimization is lost
2011-04-12beam_dead: Remove uncoverable case clause in update_value_dict/3Björn Gustavsson
Because the code generator (v3_codegen) would not include the same value more than once in a select_val/3 instruction and because a label can only be referenced by one select_val/3 instruction, there is no way that the correct value could already be in the gb_tree. (Even if it could happen, this change is safe because only opportunity for an optimization would be missed; incorrect code would not be generated.)
2011-04-12beam_dead: Remove code that cannot be covered in forward/4Björn Gustavsson
Since the optimizations in forward/4 already depends on some assumptions on how code is generated anyway, document the assumptions in a comment and remove the uncoverable code.
2011-04-12record_SUITE: Cover optimization of is_record/3 in beam_typeBjörn Gustavsson
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.
2011-04-12compiler tests: Reinstate ?MODULE macro in calls to test_lib:recompile/1Björn Gustavsson
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.

2011-03-25sys_core_fold: Eliminate incorrect warningBjörn Gustavsson
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. Reported-by: Kostis Sagonas
2011-03-25sys_core_fold: Be careful to preserve annotations while optimizingBjörn Gustavsson
2011-03-23v3_core: Fix variable incorrectly unbound after binary matchBjörn Gustavsson
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. Reported-by: Bernard Duggan
