A map expression such as,
#{'a' => 1, 'b' => 2, 'a' => 3}
will produce a warning for the repeated key 'a'.
|
|
Guards should use the more efficient 'test' instructions, not 'bif'
instructions. Add a test to make sure that the optimizations don't
degrade.
We do have to keep an exception list for functions where we can't
replace all 'bif' calls with 'test' instructions. We try to keep
that list a short as practically possible.
|
|
In practice, this optimization will only apply to contrived guards
that are almost never used in real applications. The only reason we
add this optimization is to help approach the goal of zero tolerance
for 'bif' instructions instead of 'test' instructions in guards.
|
|
A 'bif' or 'gc_bif' instruction is redundant if it has the same
failure label as a 'jump' instruction immediately following it.
There is no need to test for liveness of the destination register,
because the code at the failure label cannot safely assume that
the destination register is initialized. See the comments in the
code for further details.

Ensure that correct (not necessarily optimal) code is generated for
Core Erlang code not originating from v3_core.

The guard optimizations in v3_kernel has removed the need for
beam_bool.

The compiler produces poor code for complex guard expressions with andalso/orelse.
Here is an example from the filename module:
-define(IS_DRIVELETTER(Letter),(((Letter >= $A) andalso (Letter =< $Z)) orelse
((Letter >= $a) andalso (Letter =< $z)))).
skip_prefix(Name, false) ->
Name;
skip_prefix([L, DrvSep|Name], DrvSep) when ?IS_DRIVELETTER(L) ->
Name;
skip_prefix(Name, _) ->
Name.
beam_bool fails to simplify the code for the guard, leaving several 'bif'
instructions:
{function, skip_prefix, 2, 49}.
{label,48}.
{line,[{location,"filename.erl",187}]}.
{func_info,{atom,filename},{atom,skip_prefix},2}.
{label,49}.
{test,is_ne_exact,{f,52},[{x,1},{atom,false}]}.
{test,is_nonempty_list,{f,52},[{x,0}]}.
{get_list,{x,0},{x,2},{x,3}}.
{test,is_nonempty_list,{f,52},[{x,3}]}.
{get_list,{x,3},{x,4},{x,5}}.
{bif,'=:=',{f,52},[{x,1},{x,4}],{x,6}}.
{test,is_ge,{f,50},[{x,2},{integer,65}]}.
{bif,'=<',{f,52},[{x,2},{integer,90}],{x,7}}.
{test,is_eq_exact,{f,51},[{x,7},{atom,false}]}.
{test,is_ge,{f,50},[{x,2},{integer,97}]}.
{bif,'=<',{f,52},[{x,2},{integer,122}],{x,7}}.
{jump,{f,51}}.
{label,50}.
{move,{atom,false},{x,7}}.
{label,51}.
{bif,'=:=',{f,52},[{x,7},{atom,true}],{x,7}}.
{test,is_eq_exact,{f,52},[{x,6},{atom,true}]}.
{test,is_eq_exact,{f,52},[{x,7},{atom,true}]}.
{move,{x,5},{x,0}}.
return.
{label,52}.
return.
We can add optimizations of guard tests to v3_kernel to achive a better result:
{function, skip_prefix, 2, 49}.
{label,48}.
{line,[{location,"filename.erl",187}]}.
{func_info,{atom,filename},{atom,skip_prefix},2}.
{label,49}.
{test,is_ne_exact,{f,51},[{x,1},{atom,false}]}.
{test,is_nonempty_list,{f,51},[{x,0}]}.
{get_list,{x,0},{x,2},{x,3}}.
{test,is_nonempty_list,{f,51},[{x,3}]}.
{get_list,{x,3},{x,4},{x,5}}.
{test,is_eq_exact,{f,51},[{x,1},{x,4}]}.
{test,is_ge,{f,51},[{x,2},{integer,65}]}.
{test,is_lt,{f,50},[{integer,90},{x,2}]}.
{test,is_ge,{f,51},[{x,2},{integer,97}]}.
{test,is_ge,{f,51},[{integer,122},{x,2}]}.
{label,50}.
{move,{x,5},{x,0}}.
return.
{label,51}.
return.
Looking at the STDLIB application, there were 112 lines of BIF calls in guards
that beam_bool failed to convert to test instructions. This commit eliminates
all those BIF calls.
Here is how I counted the instructions:
$ PATH=$ERL_TOP/bin:$PATH erlc -I ../include -I ../../kernel/include -S *.erl
$ grep "bif,'[=<>]" *.S | grep -v f,0
dets.S: {bif,'=:=',{f,547},[{x,4},{atom,read_write}],{x,4}}.
dets.S: {bif,'=:=',{f,547},[{x,5},{atom,saved}],{x,5}}.
dets.S: {bif,'=:=',{f,589},[{x,5},{atom,read}],{x,5}}.
.
.
.
$ grep "bif,'[=<>]" *.S | grep -v f,0 | wc
112 224 6765
$
|
|
The fixpoint iteration added in 05130e48 makes those calls
superfluous.

There are two calls opt_not_in_let(). Since 05130e4855
introduced iteration to a fixpoint, only the first call
is needed. Removing the redundant call will slightly speed
up compilation.

Don't copy funs into guards

Funs must not be created in guards. The instruction for creating
a fun clobbers all X registers, which is a bad thing to do in
a guard.

Don't let inline_list_funcs degrade optimizations
|
|
83199af0263 refactored sys_core_fold to break out the code for the
inline_lists_funcs option to its own module. Unfortunately, it also
accidentally turned off compile-time evaluation of calls to BIFs with
wholly or partial constant arguments.
For example, the code for the following funtion gets much worse
when inline_list_funcs is used:
b() ->
R0 = #r{},
R1 = setelement(1+2, R0, "deux"),
R2 = setelement(1+3, R1, "trois"),
R3 = setelement(1+5, R2, "cinq"),
R4 = setelement(1+2, R3, "DEUX"),
R4.

beam_bsm: Eliminate unsafe optimization
|
|
The following code causes a compiler failure:
first_after(Data, Offset) ->
case byte_size(Data) > Offset of
false ->
{First, Rest} = {ok, ok},
ok;
true ->
<<_:Offset/binary, Rest/binary>> = Data,
%% 'Rest' saved in y(0) before the call.
{First, _} = match_first(Data, Rest),
%% When beam_bsm sees the code, the following line
%% which uses y(0) has been optimized away.
{First, Rest} = {First, Rest},
First
end.
match_first(_, <<First:1/binary, Rest/binary>>) ->
{First, Rest}.
Here is the error message from beam_validator:
t: function first_after/2+15:
Internal consistency check failed - please report this bug.
Instruction: {call,2,{f,7}}
Error: {multiple_match_contexts,[{x,1},0]}:
Basically, what happens is that at time of code generation,
the variable 'Rest' is needed after the call to match_first/2
and is therefore saved in y(0). When beam_bsm (a late optimization
pass) sees the code, the use of y(0) following the call
to match_first/2 has been optimized away. beam_bsm therefore
assumes that the delayed sub-binary creation is safe. (Actually,
it is safe, but beam_validator does not realize it.)
The bug was caused by two separate commits:
e199e2471a reduced the number of special cases to handle in BEAM
optimization passed by breaking apart the tail-recursive call
instructions (call_only and call_last) into separate instructions.
Unfortunately, the special handling for tail calls was lost, which
resulted in worse code (i.e. the delayed sub-binary creation
optimization could not be applied).
e1aa422290 tried to compensate, but did so in a way that was not
always safe.
Teaching beam_validator that this kind of code is safe would be
expensive.
Instead, we will undo the damage caused by the two
commits. Re-introduce the special handling of tail-recursive calls in
beam_bsm that was lost in the first commit. (Effectively) revert the
change in the second commit.

Update primary bootstrap
beam_block: Avoid unsafe inclusion of get_map_elements in blocks
|
|
c2035ebb8b restricted the get_map_elements instruction so that it
could only occur at the beginning of a block. It turns out that
including it anywhere in a block is unsafe.
Therefore, never put get_map_elements instruction in blocks.
(Also remove the beam_utils:join_even/2 function since it is no
longer used.)

Run the optimizations until a fixpoint is reached, or until
the maximum iteration count is reached.
The hope is that in the future we can many small optimizations
instead of optimizations that try to do everything in one pass.
This change allows us to remove the ad-hoc calls to expr/2
to run more optimizations on a piece of code.
|

The optimization that avoids building a tuple in a case
expression would not work if any clause matched a tuple
as in the following example:
f(A, B) ->
case {A,B} of
{<<X>>,Y} ->
{X,Y}
end.
The generated Core Erlang code would look like this (note
the tuples in the case expression and the pattern):
'f'/2 =
fun (_cor1,_cor0) ->
case {_cor1,_cor0} of
<{#{#<X>(8,1,'integer',['unsigned'|['big']])}#,Y}>
when 'true' ->
{X,Y}
.
.
.
end
It is expected that the code should look like this (note
that tuples have been replaced with "values"):
'f'/2 =
fun (_cor1,_cor0) ->
%% Line 5
case <_cor1,_cor0> of
<#{#<X>(8,1,'integer',['unsigned'|['big']])}#,Y> ->
{X,Y}
.
.
.
end
While at it, also fix bugs in the handling of pattern with
aliases. The bindings were produced in the wrong order (creating
'let's with referring to free variables), but in most cases
the incorrect bindings were discarded later without causing any
harm.
|
|
703e8f4490bf broke the scope verification code (by calling
ordsets:is_subset/2 with an unsorted second argument).
While we are it, also optimize the verification function
by avoiding converting the map to a sorted list.
|
|
|
|
The previous variable names can be generated by
projects like LFE and Elixir, leading to possible
conflicts. Our first to choice to solve such conflicts
was to use $ but that's not a valid variable name in core.
Therefore we picked @ which is currently supported and
still reduces the chance of conflicts.
|
|
Do a simpler translation of internal BIFs.
While we are it, also remove the dummy values of Index and Uniq
from the make_fun internal operation.
|
|
Remove the special handling #k_try{} in guards in v3_life. If we
introduce a new #k_protected{} record in v3_kernel, v3_life no longer
needs to know whether it is processing guards or bodies.
|
|
When beam_utils was first written, it did not have the functions
for testing whether a register was not used. Those were added
later, in sort of a hacky way.
Also, is_killed*() and is_not_used*() for Y registers would
return the same answer. Fix that to make the API more consistent
(an Y register can only be killed by a deallocate/1 instruction).
We will need to change beam_trim to call beam_utils:is_not_used/3
instead of beam_utils:is_killed/3.
|
|
During development, a bug in beam_utils caused a compiler failure
in xmerl. If the bug reappears, make sure that we catch it when
compiling the compiler test suite.
|
|
|
|
There is no need to list every obscure safe BIF in erl_bifs:is_safe/3.
The purpose of erl_bifs:is_safe/3 is merely to warn when the
return value of one of the safe BIFs is ignored.
|
|
The error would be:
{multiple_match_contexts,[{x,0},2]}
instead of:
{multiple_match_contexts,[{x,0},{y,2}]}
|
|
Since the beam_a pass has always been run and have removed any
unused label, there can never be a label as the very last
instruction in a function.
|
|
eliminate_fallthroughs/2 has special code to handle two labels next to
each other, but that does not seem to ever happen and there was one
line uncovered in is_label/1. Since inserting an extra jump between
two labels would not cause any real problems, remove the extra
handling of two consecutive labels.

The compiler stopped using sys_pre_expand in ae3e177c514c354831.

beam_validator: Handle unreachable instructions
Turn off parallel make for start scripts Makefile
|
|
ab03678e introduced an optimization in the beam_z pass that could
introduce unreachable code in BEAM files (a 'jump' instruction is
removed after a 'raise' instruction, but the code following the
target of the 'jump' is not removed).
Since this situation happens very rarely, there is no point in adding
another pass that can remove unreachable code after beam_z. Instead we
will make sure that beam_validator can skip the unreachable code.
Skipping unreachable code is already done in valfun_1/2 (for
historical reasons), but we will also need to do it in val_dsetel/2.

Implement as ceil/1 and floor/1 as new guard BIFs (essentially part of
Erlang language). They are guard BIFs because trunc/1 is a guard
BIF. It would be strange to have trunc/1 as a part of the language, but
not ceil/1 and floor/1.
