2013-02-09Fix unsafe optimization of funsBjörn Gustavsson
Commits 53bd4974a101 and 726f6e4c7afe simplified the handling of match_fail (used to generated exceptions such as 'function_clause') by first rewriting them to a call to erlang/error{1,2} and later rewriting them to specialized BEAM instructions (to reduce the code size). There was one flaw, though, which only was exposed when more aggressive optimizations were added in c3b60f86c622. Here is an example to explain it: t(V) -> fun(get) -> V end. The following BEAM code will be initially generated for the fun: {function, '-t/1-fun-0-', 2, 5}. {label,1}. {line,[{location,"t.erl",5}]}. {func_info,{atom,t},{atom,'-t/1-fun-0-'},2}. {label,2}. {test,is_eq_exact,{f,2},[{x,0},{atom,get}]}. {move,{x,1},{x,0}}. return. {label,2}. {test_heap,2,1}. {put_list,{x,0},nil,{x,1}}. {move,{atom,function_clause},{x,0}}. {line,[{location,"t.erl",5}]}. {call_ext_only,2,{extfunc,erlang,error,2}}. Translating back to Erlang code, that would be roughly: '-t/1-fun-0-'(get, V) -> V; '-t/1-fun-0-'(Arg1, _) -> erlang:error(function_clause, [Arg1]). Note that the second argument (the free variable V) is not included in the call to erlang:error/2. The beam_except pass will simplify the code to: {function, '-t/1-fun-0-', 2, 8}. {label,1}. {line,[{location,"t.erl",5}]}. {func_info,{atom,t},{atom,'-t/1-fun-0-'},2}. {label,2}. {test,is_eq_exact,{f,1},[{x,0},{atom,get}]}. {move,{x,1},{x,0}}. return. The code has been shortened by jumping to the func_info/3 instruction. Translating back to Erlang: '-t/1-fun-0-'(get, V) -> V; '-t/1-fun-0-'(Arg1, Arg2) -> erlang:error(function_clause, [Arg1,Arg2]). it is clear that both arguments are now included in the 'function_clause' exception, even though the initially generated code only included the first argument. That is no problem in this particular case, but for some more complex funs, optimizing the first version based on variable usage could make the second version unsafe. I rejected the following potential solutions: - Including the free arguments in the call to erlang:error/2: '-t/1-fun-0-'(get, V) -> V; '-t/1-fun-0-'(Arg1, Arg2) -> erlang:error(function_clause, [Arg1,Arg2]). Unfortunately, that is tricky. The free variables are only known after the second pass in v3_kernel when variable usage has been calculated. We would need to add a third pass (only for funs) that would the free arguments to the second argument for erlang:error/2 *and* update the variable usage information. - Calling beam_except earlier, from within beam_block before any optimizations based on variable usages are done. But means that the problem could reappear in some other form in the future when other updates are done to the code generator and/or optimization passes. The solution I have chosen is to modify beam_except to only replace a call to erlang:error(function_class, Args) if the length of Args is the same as the arity in the func_info/3 instruction. The code will be slightly larger. Also, the free variables for funs and list comprehensions will no longer be included in the function_clause exception (that could be less confusing, but it also means less information during debugging).

2013-02-06beam_validator: Eliminate dialyzer warnings for unmatched returnsBjörn Gustavsson
The assert_fls/2 and assert_type/3 functions both return the Vst passed to them, but all callers ignore the return value. Given the name of the functions, they are not expected to return anything. Make it so by changing the return value to 'ok'. There are two calls to bsm_get_context/2 used only to validate that the match context is valid. Call bsm_validate_context/2 instead. In bsm_validate_context/2, explicitly match the return value of bsm_get_context/2 to '_' to make it clear that it is not used.

2013-02-03Forbid multiple values in Core Erlang sequence argumentsAnthony Ramine
It does not make sense to return multiple values from a sequence argument and the Kernel Erlang passes can't cope with it. The linting pass now knows how to detect this kind of defunct code and the Core code folding pass is changed to not generate code like that when optimizing away multiple-valued lets in effect mode.

2013-01-31beam_type: Convert integer to float at compile timeBjörn Gustavsson
In code such as: X / 2 the following code would be output from beam_type for the division: {fconv,{x,0},{fr,0}}. {fconv,{integer,2},{fr,1}}. fclearerror. {bif,fdiv,{f,0},[{fr,0},{fr,1}],{fr,0}}. That is, the integer 2 would be converted to the float 2.0 at run-time by "{fconv,{integer,2},{fr,1}}". Make sure that we do the conversion at compile time. Noticed-by: Richard O'Keefe
2013-01-31compiler: Use the literal pool for floating point constantsBjörn Gustavsson
The BEAM loader will put floating point constants into the literal pools for the module, but it will not check for duplicates. We can do much better by having the compiler use the literal pool for floating point constants.

* bjorn/compiler/binary-syntax-bug/OTP-10724: compiler: Eliminate internal consistency failure in binary matching
2013-01-18compiler: Eliminate internal consistency failure in binary matchingBjörn Gustavsson
The following code: check(<<"string">>, a1) -> one; check(_, a2) -> two; check(undefined, a3) -> three. produces an internal consistency failure: check: function check/2+17: Internal consistency check failed - please report this bug. Instruction: {test,is_eq_exact,{f,7},[{x,0},{atom,undefined}]} Error: {match_context,{x,0}}: Actually, in the current implementation of the run-time system, comparing a match context to an atom is safe, so I briefly considered updating the beam_validator to let this code pass through. I abandoned that approach because not all terms would be safe to compare to a match context, and the implementation might change in the future. Therefore, fix this problem by not allowing any matching of non-variables (in the argument position for binary being matched) following binary matching. That solution is simple and safe, and since this kind of code seems to be rare in practice, there is no need to pursue any more compilicated solution. Reported-by: Viktor Sovietov

2013-01-16Forbid local fun variables in Core Erlang guardsAnthony Ramine
Local fun variables are disallowed in both Erlang and Core Erlang guards but core_lint doesn't detect this kind of error, making the compilation fail later in the BEAM assembly generation. A guard is added to only allow #c_var{} terms where the name is an atom or an integer, which is the type used by the inliner when introducing new variables.
2013-01-16Raise a function_clause error with the right arguments when inliningAnthony Ramine
The inlined lists functions raised an error with only the list instead of all their given arguments.
2013-01-16Properly guard against badly-typed arguments when inliningAnthony Ramine
The inlining code for inline_list_funcs silenced the function_clause error that should occur when calling lists:map(3.5, []).
2013-01-16Make inlined list functions fail with function_clauseAnthony Ramine
The function_clause errors produced by inline_list_funcs should properly be annotated with their function names to avoid kernel_v3 making them into case_clauses errors. See v3_kernel:translate_match_fail_1/4.

With silent rules, the output of make is less verbose and compilation warnings are easier to spot. Silent rules are disabled by default and can be disabled or enabled at will by make V=0 and make V=1.

2012-12-03Remove the reverse eta-conversion from v3_kernelAnthony Ramine
Local function references should be handled directly as a make_fun internal BIF call instead of creating an extra lambda function every time they are used.
2012-11-26beam_bsm: Improve handling of bs_start_match2 instructionsBjörn Gustavsson
The handling of bs_start_match2 was both too conservative and too careless. It was too conservative in that would not do the optimization if the were copies of the match state in other registers. It was careless in that it did not consider the failure branch. Reorganize the code and fix both these issues. Add a test case to test that the failure branch is considered.
2012-11-26beam_utils: Improve is_not_used/3 for bit syntax matchingBjörn Gustavsson
2012-11-26beam_bsm: Make the optimization applicable in more circumstancesBjörn Gustavsson
When determining whether the delayed creation of sub-binaries optimizations is applicable, this module some tests whether the register containg the match state is killed. That is actually a stronger condition than necessary; since the register is initialized, it suffices to test whether the register is unused.
