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.

2011-03-29beam_dict: Eliminate the redundant next_atom record elementBjörn Gustavsson
It is not needed because it can be trivially calculated using gb_trees:size/1.

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

2011-02-18Add dependencies Makefile generation to erlc(1) and compile(3)Jean-Sébastien Pédron
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. More informations at: http://wiki.github.com/dumbbell/otp/dependencies-makefile

2011-02-14compile: Refactor handling of source options (e.g. 'from_core')Björn Gustavsson
The options for compiling from Core Erlang, BEAM assembler files, and BEAM files are handled in several places, making it difficult to change or add more similar options. Refactor the option handling so that each option only need to be handled in one place.

By accident a previous instance of St is used, which is harmless in this case, but leads to worse quality of the generated code.

2010-12-21compiler: Don't include -export_type as attributes in BEAM filesBjörn Gustavsson
Similar to -spec and -type, -export_type should be not be included as attributes (and therefore loaded) in BEAM files, but only in the abstract code chunk.

2010-12-02beam_utils: Fix check_liveness/3 for receive loopsBjörn Gustavsson
Sometimes the beam_bool pass wants to know whether an y register will be killed by the code that follows and will do (effectively): beam_utils:is_killed({y,Y}, Code, L) When asked to calculate the liveness for an y register, beam_utils:is_killed/3 will loop forever if the code includes a receive loop. Since this rarely occurs, fix the problem in the simplest and most conservative way. Reported-by: Christopher Williams

2010-11-26beam_utils: Fix liveness analysis for gc_bif instructionsBjörn Gustavsson
When gc_bif instructions occurred outside of a block, beam_utils:check_liveness/3 did not take into account that the instruction could do a garbage collection, and could falsely report that an x register would be killed. That could cause the beam_dead pass to make the code unsafe by removing the assignment to an x register that would subsequently be referenced by the garbage collector. Reported-by: Christopher Williams
2010-11-15Call chmod without the "-f" flagHolger Weiß
"-f" is a non-standard chmod option which at least SGI IRIX and HP UX do not support. As the only effect of the "-f" flag is to suppress warning messages, it can be safely omitted.

2010-10-12beam_block: Do optimizations in the safe orderBjörn Gustavsson
Moving of allocation instructions upwards in the instruction stream (in order to enable further optimizations) in beam_block, is implemented with the assumption that if a register {x,X} contains a valid term, then all other x register with lower numbers than X also contain valid terms. That assumption is true after code generation. The beam_utils:live_opt/1 optimization, however, may invalidate that assumption. For instance, if a receive statement exports a variable that is used, but the return value of the receive statement is not used, then {x,1} but not {x,0} contains a valid term at the end of the receive statement. If the receive statement is followed by {bif,self,{f,0},[],{x,0}}. {test_heap,NumberOfWords,2}. moving the allocation upwards will produce {test_heap,NumberOfWords,2}. {bif,self,{f,0},[],{x,0}}. which will cause the beam_validator pass to scream loudly that {x,0} is not live at the test_heap instruction. Fix the problem by doing the optimizations in reverse order. Reported-by: Jim Engquist
