2013-12-13Properly let floating-point instructions through in the BEAM compilerAnthony Ramine
The compiler shouldn't crash when fed an already-optimised BEAM assembly file.
2013-12-12Test named funsAnthony Ramine
2013-12-12EEP 37: Funs with namesAnthony Ramine
This adds optional names to fun expressions. A named fun expression is parsed as a tuple `{named_fun,Loc,Name,Clauses}` in erl_parse. If a fun expression has a name, it must be present and be the same in every of its clauses. The function name shadows the environment of the expression shadowing the environment and it is shadowed by the environment of the clauses' arguments. An unused function name triggers a warning unless it is prefixed by _, just as every variable. Variable _ is allowed as a function name. It is not an error to put a named function in a record field default value. When transforming to Core Erlang, the named fun Fun is changed into the following expression: letrec 'Fun'/Arity = fun (Args) -> let <Fun> = 'Fun'/Arity in Case in 'Fun'/Arity where Args is the list of arguments of 'Fun'/Arity and Case the Core Erlang expression corresponding to the clauses of Fun. This transformation allows us to entirely skip any k_var to k_local transformation in the fun's clauses bodies.

2013-11-22Rename otp_8949_a/0 which common_test interprets as an info functionBjörn Gustavsson
Before running a test case named testcase/1, common_test will call testcase/0 (the info function). Exceptions and illegal return values would be silently ignored. In a planned update to common_test, errors will instead cause the test case to fail. The test case otp_8949_a/1 has a helper function called otp_8949_a/0. Rename it to do_otp_8949_a/0. While at it, also fix a copy and paste bug in the list of test cases. otp_8949_a was run twice; otp_8949_b was never run.

files as delimiters. While working on a tool that processes Erlang code and testing it against this repo, I found out about those little sneaky 0xff. I thought it may be of help to other people build such tools to remove non-conforming-to-standard characters.

2013-09-05compiler: Conform returned errors to the documented formatBjörn Gustavsson
ErrorInfo is documented to be: {ErrorLine,Module,ErrorDescriptor} but for some errors with line numbers it would look like: {Module,ErrorDescriptor} Ensure that all ErrorInfo tuples have three elements. Use 'none' instead of a line number: {none,Module,ErrorDescriptor} There already are errors that return 'none' when no line number is available, but that convention was not documented. Mention it in the documentation. Also make sure that the compiler will not print 'none' as a line number in error messages (if the 'report_errors' option is given) as that looks stupid. That is, when attempting to compile a non-existing module, the error message should be: non-existing.erl: no such file or directory and not: non-existing.erl:none: no such file or directory

2013-07-29Lift 'after' blocks to zeroary functionsAnthony Ramine
If 'after' blocks are not lifted, the ids of functions in their bodies must be killed and it can make stacktraces more confusing than they should. We lift them to zeroary functions to avoid unnecessary killings and duplication of code.

2013-07-03Restrict inlining of local fun referencesAnthony Ramine
Local fun references look like plain old variables in the Core Erlang AST but should not be treated as such. Inlining of such expressions is now restricted to application contexts as a local fun reference should never occur in a guard. This is not perfect as it forbids inlining in some safe situations, but that is still better than a compiler crash.

This complements 933e701 (OTP-10209). Without this patch the test cases "in_guard/1" and "coerce_to_float/1" in bs_construct_SUITE fail. The added lines in bs_construct_SUITE cover all branches that were not covered before (small and big numbers if BIT_OFFSET(erts_bin_offset) != 0).

2013-06-07Silence a misleading warning with some comprehensionsAnthony Ramine
When compiling comprehensions with generators which are foldable to 'true', a misleading warning is emitted by sys_core_fold because a clause resulting from the compilation of the comprehension to Core Erlang is not marked as generated by the compiler. An example of such a comprehension is [ true || true ].
2013-06-05Simplify v3_core's translation of bit string generatorsAnthony Ramine
Now that unsized binary segments are forbidden in patterns of bit string generators, v3_core:append_tail_segment/2 does not need to check for an existing unsized tail segment and can thus be changed to a simple '++'/2 call.
2013-06-05Forbid unsized fields in patterns of binary generatorsAnthony Ramine
It makes no sense to be able to do `<<...,Rest/binary>> <= ...` in a comprehension. The related Dialyzer test is removed.

The live optimization in beam_utils:live_opt/4 did not take into account that the wait/1 instruction *never* falls through to the next instruction (it has the same effect on the control flow as the jump/1 instruction).
