2017-12-14beam_utils: Refactor combine_alloc_lists() to cover more linesBjörn Gustavsson
There are four uncovered lines in combine_heap_needs/2 and combine_alloc_lists/2. There is no way to reach starting from Erlang source code using the standard compiler. However, they can be reached starting from BEAM assembly code, so we don't want to remove them. We could add a test case that covers the lines using assembly code, but an easier solution is to rewrite the code in a more generic way using sofs so that the code can be covered with existing test cases.

2017-12-07v3_codegen: Simplify #k_guard_break{}Björn Gustavsson
It turns out that we don't need to keep track of locked variables, because the locked variables are always the same variables that will be alive after a #k_guard_break{}.
2017-12-07v3_codegen: Remove uncovered clause in bs_rename_ctx/4Björn Gustavsson
Remove handling of #k_match{} in bsm_rename_ctx/4. It can never be reached because bsm_rename_ctx/4 will never recurse into a block that is not in the scope of a #k_protected{}, and in a #k_protected{}, #k_match{} is not allowed.

2017-12-07v3_codegen: Move guard_cg_list/6 to a more logical placeBjörn Gustavsson
Put guard_cg_list/6 directly after guard_cg/5.
2017-12-07v3_codegen: Remove unnecessary clause for handling #cg_block{}Björn Gustavsson
The function guard_cg/5 handles constructs found within the records #k_guard_clause{] and #k_protected{}. Since #k_guard_clause{} can only contain a #k_protected{}, and #k_protected{} in turn cannot contain a #cg_block{}, the clause for handling #cg_block{} in guard_cg/5 is never executed and can be removed.
2017-12-07v3_codegen: Remove unnecessary adding of variable to setBjörn Gustavsson
The variable being added will already be there (added by v3_kernel).
2017-12-06Add a test case for ERL-514Björn Gustavsson
2017-12-06beam_dead: Improve creation of select_val from is_eq_exactBjörn Gustavsson
When converting a comparison BIF (such as '=:=') to a test instruction, run the other optimizations on the result. When trying to combine is_eq_exact tests, handle the case that is_eq_exact is followed by a jump instead of a label to handle a test that has been newly converted from a BIF. Taken together, those changes will coalesce more is_eq_exact instructions into select_val instructions.
2017-12-06v3_codegen: Avoid excessive stack frame allocationBjörn Gustavsson
A 'case' or 'if' that does not occur last in a function clause will always force a stack frame. The reasoning behind this is that in most uses of 'case' there will be a function call from within the 'case'. When there is a function call, the stack frame is needed both to save the continuation pointer and to save any X registers that will need to survive the call. When there is no function call from a 'case', the resulting stack frame is annoying. There will be register shuffling, and the existence of the stack frame may thwart many optimizations (for example, in beam_dead). Therefore, add an extra pass to v3_codegen to avoid creating a stack frame when not needed. https://bugs.erlang.org/browse/ERL-514
2017-12-06Add -MMD option to erlcTony Rogvall
The compile option makedep_side_effect, erlc -MMD, instructs the compiler to emit dependencies and continue to compile as normal.
2017-12-04v3_kernel: Make #k_break{} consistent with the code it followsBjörn Gustavsson
v3_kernel could generate a #k_break{} with only one variable, even if the preceding code and succeding code expected more than one value. It happened to work anyway because the value returned from the break was not actually used.
2017-12-04Fix number of values for 'after infinity' clauseBjörn Gustavsson
We used to not care about the number of values returned from the 'after infinity' clause in a receive (because it could never be executed). It is time to start caring because this will cause problem when we will soon start to do some more aggressive optimizizations.

2017-11-30Add syntax in try/catch to retrieve the stacktrace directlyBjörn Gustavsson
This commit adds a new syntax for retrieving the stacktrace without calling erlang:get_stacktrace/0. That allow us to deprecate erlang:get_stacktrace/0 and ultimately remove it. The problem with erlang:get_stacktrace/0 is that it can keep huge terms in a process for an indefinite time after an exception. The stacktrace can be huge after a 'function_clause' exception or a failed call to a BIF or operator, because the arguments for the call will be included in the stacktrace. For example: 1> catch abs(lists:seq(1, 1000)). {'EXIT',{badarg,[{erlang,abs, [[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20|...]], []}, {erl_eval,do_apply,6,[{file,"erl_eval.erl"},{line,674}]}, {erl_eval,expr,5,[{file,"erl_eval.erl"},{line,431}]}, {shell,exprs,7,[{file,"shell.erl"},{line,687}]}, {shell,eval_exprs,7,[{file,"shell.erl"},{line,642}]}, {shell,eval_loop,3,[{file,"shell.erl"},{line,627}]}]}} 2> erlang:get_stacktrace(). [{erlang,abs, [[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22, 23,24|...]], []}, {erl_eval,do_apply,6,[{file,"erl_eval.erl"},{line,674}]}, {erl_eval,expr,5,[{file,"erl_eval.erl"},{line,431}]}, {shell,exprs,7,[{file,"shell.erl"},{line,687}]}, {shell,eval_exprs,7,[{file,"shell.erl"},{line,642}]}, {shell,eval_loop,3,[{file,"shell.erl"},{line,627}]}] 3> We can extend the syntax for clauses in try/catch to optionally bind the stacktrace to a variable. Here is an example using the current syntax: try Expr catch C:E -> Stk = erlang:get_stacktrace(), . . . In the new syntax, it would look like: try Expr catch C:E:Stk -> . . . Only a variable (not a pattern) is allowed in the stacktrace position, to discourage matching of the stacktrace. (Matching would also be expensive, because the raw format of the stacktrace would have to be converted to the cooked form before matching.) Note that: try Expr catch E -> . . . is a shorthand for: try Expr catch throw:E -> . . . If the stacktrace is to be retrieved for a throw, the 'throw:' prefix must be explicitly included: try Expr catch throw:E:Stk -> . . .
2017-11-30Stop trying to maximize the use of x(0)Björn Gustavsson
X register 0 used to be mapped to a hardware register, and therefore faster than the other registers. Because of that, the compiler tried to use x(0) as much as possible as a temporary register. That was changed a few releases ago. X register 0 is now placed in the array of all X registers and has no special speed advantage compared to the other registers. Remove the code in the compiler that attempts to use x(0) as much as possible. As a result, the following type of instruction will be much less frequent: {put_list,Src,{x,0},{x,0}} Instead, the following type of instruction will be more frequent: {put_list,Src,{x,X},{x,X}} (Where X is an arbitrary X register.) Update the runtime system to specialize that kind of put_list instruction.

2017-11-29v3_codegen: Remove check of operand for bs_context_to_binaryBjörn Gustavsson
The bs_context_to_binary instruction only allows a register operand. v3_codegen has a test to ensure that the operand is a register. That test is no longer necessary. There used to be a possibility that optimizations in sys_core_fold and the inliner could change the operand for bs_context_to_binary to a binary literal. Since 09112806c15a81b that can no longer happen, because no more optimizations are run after the introduction of the bs_context_to_binary instruction.

This clause seems to have been introduced in cac51274eb9a.
2017-11-27beam_asm: No longer allow iolists as contents in chunk/2Björn Gustavsson
The clause that converted an iolist to a binary was never executed. Note that chunk/2 is called for all chunks in the {extra_chunks,Chunks} option. This change will enforce that the contents of each chunk must be a binary (as documented).
2017-11-27beam_utils_SUITE: Cover more lines in beam_utilsBjörn Gustavsson
2017-11-27guard_SUITE: Add a test case to cover beam_dead:turn_op/1Björn Gustavsson
f9a323d10a9f5d added consistent operand order for equality comparisons. As a result, beam_dead:turn_op/1 is no longer covered. We must keep the uncovered lines in beam_dead to ensure that beam_dead can handle BEAM assembly code from another source than v3_codegen that might not follow the operand order convention. The only way to cover the lines is to use BEAM assembly in the test case.
2017-11-27Recognize 'nil' as a literal in beam_utils:bif_to_test/3Björn Gustavsson
beam_utils:bif_to_test/3 is supposed to never put a literal operand as the first operand in is_eq_exact or is_ne_exact, but 'nil' was not recognized as a literal.

Place move S x0 instructions at the end of blocks
2017-11-23Place move S x0 instructions at the end of blocksMichał Muskała
The loader has a lot of fused instructions that include move S x0. Placing them at the end of blocks makes it possible to take advantage of this optimization more frequently.
2017-11-22Fix broken to_dis after merge from maint to masterBjörn Gustavsson
d8d07a7593d811 that added the to_dis option to the compiler no longer works when merged to master. That is because of 79f28cfd8df1b7 that removed some unused code in erts_debug. Fix this by adding a new function erts_debug:dis_to_file/2 and use it from compile module where we have access to the filename (in beam_listing we only have an opened file).
