Eliminate crash in the beam_ssa_dead compiler pass
|
|
|
|
The compiler could crash in the beam_ssa_dead pass while compiling
complex nested `case` expressions. See the added test case for an
example and explanation.

The following Core Erlang code could not be loaded:
'f'/1 = fun (_1) ->
case <_1> of
<~{'foo':='foo'}~> when 'true' ->
_1
end
Loading would fail with the following message:

A repeated test could be optimized away. Example:
bar(A) ->
if is_bitstring(A) ->
if is_binary(A) ->
binary;
true ->
bitstring
end;
true ->
other
end.
In the example, the `is_binary/1` test would be optimized away,
basically turning the example into:
bar(A) ->
if is_bitstring(A) ->
bitstring;
true ->
other
end.
Thanks user Marcus Kruse in the Elixir forum for noticing this bug.

The type optimizer pass (`beam_ssa_type`) could make unsafe
negative inferences. That is, incorrectly infer that a variable
could *not* have a particular type.
This bug was found when adding another optimization. It is not
clear how write a failing test case without that added optimization.

Fix non-terminating compilation
|

Certain complex receive statements would result in an internal
compiler failure. That would happen when the compiler would fail
to find the common exit block following a receive. See the added
test case for an example.

The compiler would not terminate while compiling the following code:
foo(<<N:32>>, Tuple, NewValue) ->
_ = element(N, Tuple),
setelement(N, Tuple, NewValue).
The type analysis pass would attempt to construct a huge list when
attempting analyse the type of `Tuple` after the call to
`setelement/3`.

Code such as the following would crash the compiler in OTP 22:
[some_atom = fun some_function/1]
The reason is that the fun would be copied (used both in the match
operation and as a value in the list), and the copy of the fun would
create two wrapper functions with the same name for calling
some_function/1. In OTP 21, the duplicate functions happened not to
cause any harm (one of the wrappers functions would be unused and
ultimately be removed by beam_clean). In OTP 22, the new beam_ssa_type
pass would be confused by the multiple definitions of the wrapper
function.

`beam_asm` would encode `{literal,[]}`, `{literal,erlang}`, and
`{literal,42}` in a less efficient way than the equivalent values
`nil`, `{atom,erlang}`, and `{integer,42}`. That would increase the
size of BEAM files and could increase the loaded code size. It would
probably not harm performance, because `literal` was only used this
way in code that generates `badmatch` and `case_clause` exceptions.

Add compiler option for suppressing warnings about removed functions/modules
|
|
An appliction outside of OTP may want to reuse then name of a module
that was previously included in OTP. Therefore, there should be
a way to suppress warnings for removed functions.
|
|
|
|
|

The core_parse.hrl can be used in applications with the
+warn_untyped_record compiler flag.

|
|
Validation could fail when a function that never returned was used
in a try block (see attached test case). It's possible to solve
this without disabling the optimization as the generated code is
sound, but I'm not comfortable making such a large change this
close to the OTP 22 release.

5239eb0c62a9 stopped storing patterns that a variable has matched.
The only tuples that are stored in the type database are tuples
that have been previously constructed.
Therefore, the code in sys_core_fold:case_expand_var/2 and friends
that converts a tuple pattern to a tuple construction can be simplified
to used the stored tuple directly.
|
|
Don't bother infering the return types for lists function that
beam_ssa_type does not handle.

Optimize tail-recursive calls of BIFs
OTP-15674
|
|
* maint:
Updated OTP version
Prepare release
|
|
|

BEAM currently does not call BIFs at the end of a function in a
tail-recursive way. That is, when calling a BIF at the end of a
function, the BIF is first called, and then the stack frame
is deallocated, and then control is transferred to the caller.
If there is no stack frame when a BIF is called in the tail position,
the loader will emit a sequence of three instructions: first an
instruction that allocates a stack frame and saves the continuation
pointer (`allocate`), then an instruction that calls the BIF
(`call_bif`), and lastly an instruction that deallocates the stack
frame and returns to the caller (`deallocate_return`).
The old compiler would essentially allocate a stack frame for each
clause in a function, so it would not be that common that a BIF was
called in the tail position when there was no stack frame, so the
three-instruction sequence was deemed acceptable.
The new compiler only allocates stack frames when truly needed, so
the three-instruction BIF call sequence has become much more common.
This commit introduces a new `call_bif_only` instruction so that only
one instruction will be needed when calling a BIF in the tail position
when there is no stack frame. This instruction is also used when there
is a stack frame to make it possible to deallocate the stack frame
**before** calling the BIF, which may make a subsequent garbage
collection at the end of the BIF call cheaper (copying less garbage).
The one downside of this change is that the function that called the
BIF will not be included in the stack backtrace (similar to how a
tail-recursive call to an Erlang function will not be included in the
backtrace).
That was the quick summary of the commit. Here comes a detailed look
at how BIF calls are translated by the loader. The first example is a
function that calls `setelement/3` in the tail position:
update_no_stackframe(X) ->
setelement(5, X, new_value).
Here is the BEAM code:
{function, update_no_stackframe, 1, 12}.
{label,11}.
{line,[...]}.
{func_info,{atom,t},{atom,update_no_stackframe},1}.
{label,12}.
{move,{x,0},{x,1}}.
{move,{atom,new_value},{x,2}}.
{move,{integer,5},{x,0}}.
{line,[...]}.
{call_ext_only,3,{extfunc,erlang,setelement,3}}.
Because there is no stack frame, the `call_ext_only` instruction will
be used to call `setelement/3`:
{call_ext_only,3,{extfunc,erlang,setelement,3}}.
The loader will transform this instruction to a three-instruction
sequence:
0000000020BD8130: allocate_tt 0 3
0000000020BD8138: call_bif_e erlang:setelement/3
0000000020BD8148: deallocate_return_Q 0
Using the `call_bif_only` instruction introduced in this commit,
only one instruction is needed:
000000005DC377F0: call_bif_only_e erlang:setelement/3
`call_bif_only` calls the BIF and returns to the caller.
Now let's look at a function that already has a stack frame when
`setelement/3` is called:
update_with_stackframe(X) ->
foobar(X),
setelement(5, X, new_value).
Here is the BEAM code:
{function, update_with_stackframe, 1, 14}.
{label,13}.
{line,[...]}.
{func_info,{atom,t},{atom,update_with_stackframe},1}.
{label,14}.
{allocate,1,1}.
{move,{x,0},{y,0}}.
{line,[...]}.
{call,1,{f,16}}.
{move,{y,0},{x,1}}.
{move,{atom,new_value},{x,2}}.
{move,{integer,5},{x,0}}.
{line,[...]}.
{call_ext_last,3,{extfunc,erlang,setelement,3},1}.
Since there is a stack frame, the `call_ext_last` instruction will be used
to deallocate the stack frame and call the function:
{call_ext_last,3,{extfunc,erlang,setelement,3},1}.
Before this commit, the loader would translate this instruction to:
0000000020BD81B8: call_bif_e erlang:setelement/3
0000000020BD81C8: deallocate_return_Q 1
That is, the BIF is called before deallocating the stack frame and returning
to the calling function.
After this commit, the loader will translate the `call_ext_last` like this:
000000005DC37868: deallocate_Q 1
000000005DC37870: call_bif_only_e erlang:setelement/3
There are still two instructions, but now the stack frame will be
deallocated before calling the BIF, which could make the potential
garbage collection after the BIF call slightly more efficient (copying
less garbage).
We could have introduced a `call_bif_last` instruction, but the code
for calling a BIF is relatively large and there does not seem be a
practical way to share the code between `call_bif` and `call_bif_only`
(since the difference is at the end, after the BIF call). Therefore,
we did not want to clone the BIF calling code yet another time to
make a `call_bif_last` instruction.

For reasons better explained in the source code, ssa_opt_float
skips optimizing inside guards but it failed to do so
consistently; while the pass never processed guard blocks, it was
still possible to erroneously defer error checking to a guard
block, crashing the compiler once it realized its state was
invalid.
|
|
This ensures that unreachable branches are properly ignored on
repeated checks (although tuple type subtraction isn't complete
yet).
|
|
Type subtraction never resulted in the 'none' type, even when it
was obvious that it should. Once that was fixed it became apparent
that inequality checks also fell into the same subtraction trap
that the type pass warned about in a comment.
This then led to another funny problem with select_val, consider
the following code:
{bif,'>=',{f,0},[{x,0},{integer,1}],{x,0}}.
{select_val,{x,0},{f,70},{list,[{atom,false},{f,69},
{atom,true},{f,68}]}}.
The validator knows that '>=' can only return a boolean, so once it
has subtracted 'false' and 'true' it killed the state because all
all valid branches had been taken, so validation would crash once
it tried to branch off the fail label.
