2018-08-08Fix bug in binary matchingBjörn Gustavsson
The compiler generates incorrect code for the following example: decode_binary(_, <<Length, Data/binary>>) -> case {Length, Data} of {0, _} -> %% When converting the match context back to a binary, %% Data will be set to the entire original binary, %% that is, to <<0>> instead of <<>>. {{0, 0, 0}, Data}; {4, <<Y:16/little, M, D, Rest/binary>>} -> {{Y, M, D}, Rest} end. The problem is the delayed sub binary creation optimization, which is not safe to do in this case. This commit introduces a heuristic that will disable the delayed sub binary creation optimization for this example. Unfortunately, the heuristic may turn off the optimization when it would actually be safe. In the OTP codebase, the optimization is turned off in two instances, once in string.erl and once in dets_v9.erl. https://bugs.erlang.org/browse/ERL-689

2018-08-08Fix side-effect optimization when compiling from Core ErlangJohn Högberg
When an expression is only used for its side effects, we try to remove everything that doesn't tie into a side-effect, but we went a bit too far when we applied the optimization to funs defined in such a context. Consider the following: do letrec 'f'/0 = fun () -> ... whatever ... in call 'side':'effect'(apply 'f'/0()) 'ok' When f/0 is optimized under the assumption that its return value is unused, side:effect/1 will be fed the result of the last side-effecting expression in f/0 instead of its actual result. https://bugs.erlang.org/browse/ERL-658 Co-authored-by: Björn Gustavsson <[email protected]>

2018-07-16Abort size calculation when a matched-out variable is usedJohn Högberg
Referencing a matched-out variable in a size expression makes it impossible to calculate the size of the result based on the size of the matched binary. The compiler would still generate code to do this however, which would crash since the variable isn't defined at the size calculation.

2018-06-27beam_type: Fix unsafe optimizationBjörn Gustavsson
beam_type assumed that the operand for the bs_context_to_binary instruction must be a binary. That is not correct; bs_context_to_binary accepts anything.

2018-06-25Fix unsafe optimization when running beam_block the second timeBjörn Gustavsson
The compiler would crash when compiling code such as: serialize(#{tag := value, id := Id, domain := Domain}) -> [case Id of nil -> error(id({required, id})); _ -> <<10, 1:16/signed, Id:16/signed>> end, case Domain of nil -> error(id({required, domain})); _ -> <<8, 2:16/signed, Domain:32/signed>> end]. The crash would look like this: Function: serialize/1 t.erl: internal error in block2; crash reason: {badmatch,false} in function beam_utils:live_opt/4 (beam_utils.erl, line 861) in call from beam_utils:live_opt/1 (beam_utils.erl, line 285) in call from beam_block:function/2 (beam_block.erl, line 47) in call from beam_block:'-module/2-lc$^0/1-0-'/2 (beam_block.erl, line 33) in call from beam_block:'-module/2-lc$^0/1-0-'/2 (beam_block.erl, line 33) in call from beam_block:module/2 (beam_block.erl, line 33) in call from compile:block2/2 (compile.erl, line 1358) in call from compile:'-internal_comp/5-anonymous-1-'/3 (compile.erl, line 349) The reason for the crash is an assertion failure caused by a previous unsafe optimization. Here is the code before the unsafe optimization: . . . {bs_init2,{f,0},7,0,0,{field_flags,[]},{x,1}}. {bs_put_string,3,{string,[8,0,2]}}. {bs_put_integer,{f,0},{integer,32},1,{field_flags,[signed,big]},{y,1}}. {move,{x,1},{x,0}}. {test_heap,4,1}. . . . beam_block:move_allocate/1 moved up the test_heap/2 instruction past the move/2 instruction, adjusting the number of live registers at the same time: . . . {bs_init2,{f,0},7,0,0,{field_flags,[]},{x,1}}. %% Only x1 is live now. {bs_put_string,3,{string,[8,0,2]}}. {bs_put_integer,{f,0},{integer,32},1,{field_flags,[signed,big]},{y,1}}. {test_heap,4,2}. %Unsafe. x0 is dead. {move,{x,1},{x,0}}. . . . This optimization is unsafe because the bs_init2 instruction killed x0. The bug is in beam_utils:anno_defs/1, which adds annotations indicating the registers that are defined at the beginning of each block. The annotation before the move/2 instruction incorrectly indicated that x0 was live. https://bugs.erlang.org/browse/ERL-650 https://github.com/elixir-lang/elixir/issues/7782

2018-06-04sys_core_fold: Fix name capture problemBjörn Gustavsson
sys_core_fold could do unsafe transformations on the code from the old inliner (invoked using the compiler option `{inline,[{F/A}]}` to request inlining of specific functions). To explain the bug, let's first look at an example that sys_core_fold handles correctly. Consider this code: 'foo'/2 = fun (Arg1,Arg2) -> let <B> = Arg2 in let <A,B> = <B,Arg1> in {A,B} In this example, the lets can be completely eliminated, since the arguments for the lets are variables (as opposed to expressions). Since the variable B is rebound in the inner let, `sys_core_fold` must take special care when doing the substitutions. Here is the correct result: 'foo'/2 = fun (Arg1, Arg2) -> {Arg2,Arg1} Consider a slight modifictation of the example: 'bar'/2 = fun (Arg1,Arg2) -> let <B> = [Arg2] in let <A,B> = <B,[Arg1]> in {A,B} Here some of the arguments for the lets are expressions, so the lets must be kept. sys_core_fold does not handle this example correctly: 'bar'/2 = fun (Arg1,Arg2) -> let <B> = [Arg2] in let <B> = [Arg1] in {B,B} In the inner let, the variable A has been eliminated and replaced with the variable B in the body (the first B in the tuple). Since the B in the outer let is never used, the outer let will be eliminated, giving: 'bar'/2 = fun (Arg1,Arg2) -> let <B> = [Arg1] in {B,B} To handle this example correctly, sys_core_fold must rename the variable B in the inner let like this to avoid capturing B: 'bar'/2 = fun (Arg1,Arg2) -> let <B> = [Arg2] in let <NewName> = [Arg1] in {B,NewName} (Note: The `v3_kernel` pass alreday handles those examples correctly in case `sys_core_fold` has been disabled.)

2018-04-29Introduce is_map_key/2 guard BIFMichał Muskała
This complements the `map_get/2` guard BIF introduced in #1784. Rationale. `map_get/2` allows accessing map fields in guards, but it might be problematic in more complex guard expressions, for example: foo(X) when map_get(a, X) =:= 1 or is_list(X) -> ... The `is_list/1` part of the guard could never succeed since the `map_get/2` guard would fail the whole guard expression. In this situation, this could be solved by using `;` instead of `or` to separate the guards, but it is not possible in every case. To solve this situation, this PR proposes a `is_map_key/2` guard that allows to check if a map has key inside a guard before trying to access that key. When combined with `is_map/1` this allows to construct a purely boolean guard expression testing a value of a key in a map. Implementation. Given the use case motivating the introduction of this function, the PR contains compiler optimisations that produce optimial code for the following guard expression: foo(X) when is_map(X) and is_map_key(a, X) and map_get(a, X) =:= 1 -> ok; foo(_) -> error. Given all three tests share the failure label, the `is_map_key/2` and `is_map/2` tests are optimised away. As with `map_get/2` the `is_map_key/2` BIF is allowed in match specs.

* 'map-get-bif' of git://github.com/michalmuskala/otp: Introduce map_get guard-safe function OTP-15037
2018-04-24Introduce map_get guard-safe functionMichał Muskała
Rationale Today all compound data types except for maps can be deconstructed in guards. For tuples we have `element/2` and for lists `hd/1` and `tl/1`. Maps are completely opaque to guards. This means matching on maps can't be abstracted into macros, which is often done with repetitive guards. It also means that maps have to be always selected whole from ETS tables, even when only one field would be enough, which creates a potential efficiency issue. This PR introduces an `erlang:map_get/2` guard-safe function that allows extracting a map field in guard. An alternative to this function would be to introduce the syntax for extracting a value from a map that was planned in the original EEP: `Map#{Key}`. Even outside of guards, since this function is a guard-BIF it is more efficient than using `maps:get/2` (since it does not need to set up the stack), and more convenient from pattern matching on the map (compare: `#{key := Value} = Map, Value` to `map_get(key, Map)`). Performance considerations A common concern against adding this function is the notion that "guards have to be fast" and ideally execute in constant time. While there are some counterexamples (`length/1`), what is more important is the fact that adding those functions does not change in any way the time complexity of pattern matching - it's already possible to match on map fields today directly in patterns - adding this ability to guards will niether slow down or speed up the execution, it will only make certain programs more convenient to write. This first version is very naive and does not perform any optimizations.
