Warn for potentially unsafe use of get_stacktrace/0
|
|
erlang:get_stacktrace/0 returns the stacktrace for the latest
exception. The problem is that the stacktrace is kept until the next
exception occurs. If the last exception was a 'function_clause' or a
'badarg', the arguments for the call are also kept forever. The
arguments can be terms of any size (potentially huge).
In a future release, we would like to only allow
erlang:get_stacktrace/0 from within a 'try' expression. That would
make it possible to clear the stacktrace when the 'try' expression is
exited.
The 'catch' expression has no natural end where the stacktrace could
be cleared. The stacktrace could be cleared at the end of the function
that the 'catch' occurs in, but that would cause problems in the
following scenario (from real life, but simplified):
try
...
catch _:_ ->
io:format(...),
io:format("~p\n", [erlang:get_stacktrace()])
end.
%% In io.erl.
format(Fmt, Args) ->
Res = case ... of
SomePattern ->
catch...
...;
SomeOtherPattern ->
%% Output the formatted string here
...
end,
clear_stacktrace(), %% Inserted by compiler.
Res.
The call to io:format() would always clear the stacktrace before
it could be retrieved.
That problem could be solved by tightning the scope in which the
stacktrace is kept, but the rules for how long erlang:get_stacktrace/0
would work would become complicated.
Therefore, the solution we suggest for a future major release of
OTP is that erlang:get_stacktrace/0 will return [] if it is called
outside the 'catch' part of a 'try' expression.
To help users prepare, introduce a warning when it is likely that
erlang:get_stacktrace/0 will always return an empty list, for example
in this code:
catch error(foo),
Stk = erlang:get_stacktrace()
or in this code:
try Expr
catch _:_ -> ok end,
Stk = erlang:get_stacktrace()

Correct description of nowarn_obsolete_guard
By default, warnings for obsolete guards are turned on. Correct the description to make that clear.

The uncovered clause was introduced in bee8f839296e.

Also test other options that turns off certain optimizations or
instruction sets.

Functions that can are known be pure can be evaluated at
compile-time if the arguments are literals and if the result is
expressible as a literal.
list_to_ref/1 and list_to_port/1 returns terms that cannot be
expressed as literals, so the optimization is not possible.
The argument for port_to_list/1 is never a literal, so there is
no way to evaluate it at compile-time. Therefore, marking those
functions as pure serves no useful purpose.
Note: list_to_pid/1 *is* marked as pure, but only so that we can test
the code in sys_core_fold that rejects pure functions that evaluate to
at term that is not possible to express as a literal. It is sufficient
to have one pure function of that kind.

The test found a bug in v3_kernel_pp which was not
taking into account utf8 atoms. The bug has also
been fixed.

Make 'slim' slim again
|

Remove unused variable warning in compile_SUITE
|
|
This reverts commit dc57404252c47520f352834ad9be45ad684f96c9.
|

The undocumented compiler option 'slim' is used when compiling
the primary bootstrap. The purpose is to make the bootstrap smaller
and to avoid unnecessary churn in the git repository. That is,
the BEAM file should be different only if the actual code in the
file is different, and not if it has merely been re-compiled on
a different computer.
Two commits have fattened the 'slim' option. In 36f7087ae0f,
extra chunks are included even in slim BEAM files. In dfb899c0229f7,
the "Dbgi" were added as an extra chunk, causing it to be included
in slim files.
Make 'slim' slim again by only including the essential chunks and
the attribute chunk (as was the case before the {extra,...} option
was added).

Introduce new "Dbgi" chunk
OTP-14369
|
|
* lukas/erts/list_to_port/OTP-14348:
erts: Add erlang:list_to_port/1 debug bif
erts: Auto-import port_to_list for consistency
erts: Polish off erlang:list_to_ref/1
|
|
|
|
Follow the same pattern as pid_to_list
|
|
By moving to effects_code_generation/1, there is no need
to explicitly remove those options when storing compile
information in the DebugInfo chunk.
|
|
The new Dbgi chunk returns data in the following format:
{debug_info_v1, Backend, Data}
This allows compilers to store the debug info in different
formats. In order to retrieve a particular format, for
instance, Erlang Abstract Format, one may invoke:
Backend:debug_info(erlang_v1, Module, Data, Opts)
Besides introducing the chunk above, this commit also:
* Changes beam_lib:chunk(Beam, [:abstract_code]) to
read from the new Dbgi chunk while keeping backwards
compatibility with old .beams
* Adds the {debug_info, {Backend, Data}} option to
compile:file/2 and friends that are stored in the
Dbgi chunk. This allows the debug info encryption
mechanism to work across compilers
* Improves dialyzer to work directly on Core Erlang,
allowing languages that do not have the Erlang
Abstract Format to be dialyzer as long as they emit
the new chunk and their backend implementation is
available
Backwards compatibility is kept across the board except
for those calling beam_lib:chunk(Beam, ["Abst"]), as the
old chunk is no longer available. Note however the "Abst"
chunk has always been optional.
Future OTP versions may remove parsing the "Abst" chunk
altogether from beam_lib once Erlang 19 and earlier is no
longer supported.
The current Dialyzer implementation still supports earlier
.beam files and such may also be removed in future versions.

Fixes https://bugs.erlang.org/browse/ERL-406 - a bug introduced in
0377592dc2238f561291be854d2ce859dd9a5fb1
|
|
|
|
The main purpose of these options is compatibility with
old Erlang systems. Since it is no longer possible to
communicate with R15B or earlier, we no longer need the
r12 through r15 options.

* kill type information only for affected registers in get_map_elements
* bs_get_utf* will produce integers of unicode range
This optimises code created by Elixir compiler, where:
<<x::utf8,_::binary>> when x in 1..10
will compile the guard to
is_integer(X) andalso X >= 1 andalso X =< 10
This allows us to eliminate the is_integer check.
* bs_get_float will produce a float
* allow to carry type information over other bs instructions killing
only the affected registers
* kill only x registers after call_fun and apply instructions

The test is supposed to compare the Core Erlang code that has been
printed and parsed back. It did compare and print any differences,
but it did not fail when there were differences.
Also fix problems with variable names and maps not comparing
equal when the inliner has been used.

core_scan will now support and require atoms encoded in UTF-8.

Rewrite the instruction stream on tagged tuple tests.
Tagged tuples means a tuple of any arity with an atom as its first element.
Typically records, ok-tuples and error-tuples.
from:
...
{test,is_tuple,Fail,[Src]}.
{test,test_arity,Fail,[Src,Sz]}.
...
{get_tuple_element,Src,0,Dst}.
...
{test,is_eq_exact,Fail,[Dst,Atom]}.
...
to:
...
{test,is_tagged_tuple,Fail,[Src,Sz,Atom]}.

Two dummy .erl files are created while releasing the tests for
the compiler. Remove the files after they have been copied to
the release directory to avoid that they show up as untracked
files in the output of "git status".

Code such as the following:
-record(x, {a}).
f(R, N0) ->
N = N0 / 100,
if element(1, R#x.a) =:= 0 ->
N
end.
would fail to compile with the following message:
m: function f/2+19:
Internal consistency check failed - please report this bug.
Instruction: {fmove,{fr,0},{x,1}}
Error: {uninitialized_reg,{fr,0}}:
This bug was introduced in 348b5e6bee2f.
Basically, the beam_type pass placed the fmove instruction in the
wrong place. Instructions that store to floating point registers and
instructions that read from floating point registers are supposed to
be in the same basic block.
Fix the problem by flushing all floating points instruction
before a call the pseudo-BIF is_record/3, thus making sure that
the fmove instruction is placed in the correct block.
Here is an annotated listing of the relevant part of the .S
file (before the fix):
{test_heap,{alloc,[{words,0},{floats,1}]},2}.
{fconv,{x,1},{fr,0}}.
{fmove,{float,100.0},{fr,1}}.
fclearerror.
{bif,fdiv,{f,0},[{fr,0},{fr,1}],{fr,0}}.
{fcheckerror,{f,0}}.
%% The instruction {fmove,{fr,0},{x,1}} should have
%% been here.
%% Block of instructions expanded from a call to
%% the pseudo-BIF is_record/3. (Expanded in a later
%% compiler pass.)
{test,is_tuple,{f,3},[{x,0}]}.
{test,test_arity,{f,3},[{x,0},2]}.
{get_tuple_element,{x,0},0,{x,2}}.
{test,is_eq_exact,{f,3},[{x,2},{atom,x}]}.
{move,{atom,true},{x,2}}.
{jump,{f,4}}.
{label,3}.
{move,{atom,false},{x,2}}.
{label,4}.
%% End of expansion.
%% The fmove instruction that beam_validator complains
%% about.
{fmove,{fr,0},{x,1}}.

Binary construction that mixes long literal strings with variables
will make Dialyzer slow. Example:
<<"long string (thousand of characters)",T/binary>>
The string literals in binary construction is translated to one binary
segment per character; all those segments will slow down Dialyzer.
We can speed up Dialyzer if we combine several characters (up to 256)
to a signle segment in the binary. It will also slightly speed up the
compiler.
This optimization will make core listings file with binary strings
harder to read, but they were not that easy to read before this
change.

This allow languages such as Elixir and LFE to attach
extra chunks to the .beam file without having to parse
the beam file after compilation.
This commit also cleans up the interface to beam_asm,
allowing chunks to be passed from the compiler without
a need to change beam_asm API on every new chunk.

* josevalim/atu8-chunk/PR-1078/OTP-14178:
Add new AtU8 beam chunk
|
|
The new chunk stores atoms encoded in UTF-8.
beam_lib has also been modified to handle the new
'utf8_atoms' attribute while the 'atoms' attribute
may be a missing chunk from now on.
The binary_to_atom/2 BIF can now encode any utf8
binary with up to 255 characters.
The list_to_atom/1 BIF can now accept codepoints
higher than 255 with up to 255 characters (thanks
to Björn Gustavsson).
