Most notes.xml files will be updated in every release and cause the kind of the problems described in the previous commit.
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

2013-07-03Restrict 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.

2013-06-14Fix binary construction on floating point middle-endian machinesJohannes Weißl
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 ].

* bjorn/compiler/fix-compiler-crash/OTP-11119: compiler: Correct liveness optimization for wait/1
2013-05-29compiler: Correct liveness optimization for wait/1Björn Gustavsson
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).
2013-05-28Fix renaming of bs_put_string instructionsAnthony Ramine
The clause was formerly commented-out because at this point in the code, no bs_put_string instruction has been generated yet when compiling from Erlang. If an Erlang module is compiled to BEAM assembly and the result contains a bs_put_string instruction, the output can't be compiled to binary anymore and the compiler crashes with the following error: $ erlc prs.S Function: compress/1 prs.S:none: internal error in beam_block; crash reason: {{case_clause, {'EXIT', {function_clause, [{beam_utils,live_opt, [[{bs_put_string,1,{string,[0]}}, {bs_init, {f,0}, {bs_append,0,8,{field_flags,[]}}, 0, [{integer,8},{x,0}], {x,1}}, {label,2}], 2, {1,{1,1,nil,nil}}, [{block, [{'%live',2}, {set,[{x,0}],[{x,1}],move}, {'%live',1}]}, return]], [{file,"beam_utils.erl"},{line,639}]}, {beam_utils,live_opt,1, [{file,"beam_utils.erl"},{line,205}]}, {beam_block,function,2, [{file,"beam_block.erl"},{line,38}]}, {lists,mapfoldl,3, [{file,"lists.erl"},{line,1329}]}, {beam_block,module,2, [{file,"beam_block.erl"},{line,29}]}, {compile,'-select_passes/2-anonymous-2-',2, [{file,"compile.erl"},{line,476}]}, {compile,'-internal_comp/4-anonymous-1-',2, [{file,"compile.erl"},{line,276}]}, {compile,fold_comp,3, [{file,"compile.erl"},{line,294}]}]}}}, [{compile,'-select_passes/2-anonymous-2-',2, [{file,"compile.erl"},{line,476}]}, {compile,'-internal_comp/4-anonymous-1-',2, [{file,"compile.erl"},{line,276}]}, {compile,fold_comp,3,[{file,"compile.erl"},{line,294}]}, {compile,internal_comp,4,[{file,"compile.erl"},{line,278}]}, {compile,'-do_compile/2-anonymous-0-',2, [{file,"compile.erl"},{line,152}]}]}
2013-05-20beam_lib, compile: Replace use of deprecated crypto functionsBjörn Gustavsson
Since both the STDLIB and compiler applications turn warnings into errors, we must stop using the old deprecated crypto functions. While we are at it, generalize the format of the key tuple returned by beam_lib:make_crypto_key/2 to facilitate introducing new crypto methods in the future. Change the format to: {Type,Key,IV,BlockSize} where Type, Key, and IV are the first three arguments for either crypto:block_encrypt4/ or crypto:block_decrypt/4, and BlockSize is the block size for the crypto algorithm (it is needed to properly pad the plaintext blocks before encryption).
2013-04-19Use a set to store ref registers in beam_receiveAnthony Ramine
In some circumstances, as when inlining code, when some optimization passes are disabled or with hand-written but semantically correct Core Erlang or BEAM assembly, a fresh reference may be live in more than one register: ... {allocate_zero,2,2}. ... {call_ext,0,{extfunc,erlang,make_ref,0}}. % Ref in [x0] ... {move,{x,0},{y,0}}. % Ref in [x0,y0] {move,{y,1},{x,0}}. % Ref in [y0] ... {move,{y,0},{x,0}}. % Ref in [x0,y0] {move,{x,0},{y,1}}. % Ref in [x0,y0,y1] {label,5}. {loop_rec,{f,6},{x,0}}. % Ref in [y0,y1] ... {loop_rec_end,{f,5}}. {label,6}. {wait,{f,5}}. ... Pass beam_receive expects a single live register for the ref when it encounters the loop_rec instruction and crashes with the following reason: $ erlc t.S ... crash reason: {{case_clause, {'EXIT', {{case_clause,[{y,1},{y,0}]}, [{beam_receive,opt_recv,5, [{file,"beam_receive.erl"},{line,154}]}, ...]}}}, ...} This commit teaches beam_receive how to use a set of registers instead of a single one when tracking fresh references, thus avoiding the crash.

2013-03-28Add a new option +clint0 to the compilerAnthony Ramine
This option makes the compiler run the Core Erlang linting pass before any optimization pass, which can crash if the given code has unbound variables, something that is detected by core_lint.
2013-03-28Fix optimization of some binary comprehensionsAnthony Ramine
If a variable bound in a generator is used as the size of a segment in the comprehension body, v3_core uses this variable in the code generated to compute the initial size given to the `bs_init_writable` primop before the variable is actually bound, as in: << <<0:S>> || S <- Slist >> Reported-By: Peer Stritzinger

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
