Binary matching can be confusing. For example:
1> <<-1>> = <<-1>>.
** exception error: no match of right hand side value <<"ÿ">>
2>
When constructing binaries, the value will be masked to fit in
the binary segment. But no such masking happens when matching
binaries.
One solution that we considered was to do the same masking when
matching. We have rejected that solution for several reasons:
* Masking in construction is highly controversial and by some
people considered a bad design decision.
* While masking of unsigned numbers can be understood, masking of
signed numbers it not easy to understand.
* Then there is the question of backward compatibility. Adding
masking to matching would mean that clauses that did not match
earlier would start to match. That means that code that has
never been tested will be executed. Code that has not been
tested will usually not work.
Therefore, we have decided to warn for binary patterns that cannot
possibly match.
While we are it, we will also warn for the following example where
size for a binary segment is invalid:
bad_size(Bin) ->
BadSize = bad_size,
<<42:BadSize>> = Bin.
That example would crash the HiPE compiler because the BEAM compiler
would generate a bs_get_integer2 instruction with an invalid size
field. We can avoid that crash if sys_core_fold not only warns for bad
binary pattern, but also removes the clauses that will not match.

We will need them when we start to produce warnings for patterns
that can't match.
|
|
As a preparation for checking binary patterns we will add
var_list/2 that will work as pattern_list/2 but is guaranteed
not to throw an exception. That way, we will only have to use
try...catch for the few remaining calls to pattern_list/2.

* bjorn/remove-test_server/OTP-12705:
Remove test_server as a standalone application
Erlang mode for Emacs: Include ct.hrl instead test_server.hrl
Remove out-commented references to the test_server applications
Makefiles: Remove test_server from include path and code path
Eliminate use of test_server.hrl and test_server_line.hrl
|
|
|
|
Since no test suites includede test_server.hrl, there is no need
to have test_server in the include path or code path.
|
|
As a first step to removing the test_server application as
as its own separate application, change the inclusion of
test_server.hrl to an inclusion of ct.hrl and remove the
inclusion of test_server_line.hrl.

Eliminate crash because of unsafe delaying of sub-binary creation
|
|
The following code would fail to compile:
decode(<<Code/integer, Bin/binary>>) ->
<<C1/integer, B1/binary>> = Bin,
case C1 of
X when X =:= 1 orelse X =:= 2 ->
Bin2 = <<>>;
_ ->
Bin2 = B1
end,
case Code of
1 -> decode(Bin2);
_ -> Bin2
end.
The error message would be:
t: function decode/1+28:
Internal consistency check failed - please report this bug.
Instruction: return
Error: {match_context,{x,0}}:
The beam_bsm pass would delay the creation of a sub-binary when it was
unsafe to do so. The culprit was the btb_follow_branch/3 function that
for performance reasons cached labels that had already been checked.
The problem was the safety of a label also depends on the contents
of the registers. Therefore, the key for caching needs to be both
the label and the register contents.

The two bad record usage test cases in compile_SUITE do not
belong there, as the errors are detected in erl_lint. Move the
test to the erl_lint_SUITE.
|
|
|
|
The files/2 function is confusing. The second argument names
the output directory, not the name of the source module. It is
common trap to attempt to point a different source file using
files/2.
Introduce the new get_files/3 which explicitly names the module
name.
|
|
Internally in the v3_core pass, an #imatch{} record represents
a match expression:
Pattern = Expression
If Pattern is a single, unbound variable, #imatch{} will be
rewritten to #iset{}; otherwise it will be rewritten to #icase{}.
To determine how #imatch{} should be translated, the pattern is
processed using upattern/3. The return value from upattern/3 is thrown
away (after having been used for determing how the #imatch{} record
should be translated).
That means that every pattern in an #imatch{} is processed twice,
which is wasteful.
We can easily avoid the double processing of patterns by
introducing a new helper function that determines whether the
pattern is a new variable.

When manipulating Core Erlang trees it may be useful to perform some
operation when a node is visited, before inspecting children nodes. The
definition of cerl_tree:mapfold/3 does not allow that, as it applies the
given function only after all the recursive calls on the children nodes
have been completed.
This patch adds a new argument to mapfold: a function that is applied when
a node is first entered.
As an example of its use, consider the case where one wants to move a
'call' node earlier, by adding 'let' node and replacing the 'call' node
with the defined variable. The name of that variable must be specified
before one traverses the inner tree (especially if such replacements can be
nested).

Literal maps could cause dialyzer to crash when pretty printing the results.

* maint:
Fix crash when attempting to update a fun as if it were a map
|
|
The following example would cause an internal consistency
failure in the compiler:
f() -> ok.
update() -> (fun f/0)#{u => 42}.
The reason is that internally, v3_core will (incorrectly)
rewrite update/0 to code similar to this:
update() ->
if
is_map(fun f/0) ->
maps:update(u, 42, fun f/0)
end.
Since funs are not allowed to be created in guards, incorrect and
unsafe code would be generated.
It is easy to fix the bug. There already is a is_valid_map_src/1
function in v3_core that tests whether the argument for the map update
operation can possibly be a valid map. A fun is represented as a
variable with a special name in Core Erlang, so it would not be
recognized as unsafe. All we'll need to do to fix the bug is to look
closer at variables to ensure they don't represent funs. That will
ensure that the code is rewritten in the correct way:
update() ->
error({badmap,fun f/0})
end.

Eliminate crash in v3_codegen
|
|
The following code would crash v3_codegen:
order(From) ->
catch
if
From#{[] => sufficient} ->
saint
end.
Before explaining the crash, first some background on the stack
frame and the Y registers.
Certain instructions, most notably the 'call' instructions, clobber
all X registers. Before any such instruction, all X registers that
have values that will be used after the call must be saved to Y
registers (i.e. to the stack frame). adjust_stack/4 will be called
when X registers must be saved.
There is also another situation when X registers must be saved, namely
within a 'catch' if we are about to execute any instruction that may
cause an exception. Examples of such instructions are some guard BIFs
(such as length/1) and construction of binaries or maps. Within a
'catch', X registers must be be saved because if an exception is
thrown and catched all X registers will be destroyed. The same
adjust_stack/4 function will be called for those instructions, but
only if they occur within a 'catch'.
There is actually one more complication. If there is code in
a guard within a catch, the X registers should not be saved, because
the code in a guard never clobbers any X registers that were alive
before the guard code was entered. v3_codegen is written with the
implicit assumption that code in guards never cause anything
to be saved to Y registers.
The code for building maps and binaries would incorrectly save X
registers within a guard inside a 'catch'.
For construction of binaries, that would mean that a useless but
harmelss 'move' instruction was generated.
But for construction of maps, the saving of the Y register would not
be harmless. There would be a crash when attempting to merge #sr{}
records. #sr{} records keeps track of the contents of X and Y
registers. When two separate code paths are joined (e.g. at the end of
'case' statement), the register descriptors must be reconciled.
Basically, the register descriptors for both paths must be identical.
The #sr{} record for one path must not claim that {y,0} contains
a certain value, while another path claims that {y,0} is dead.
Thus, the crash occurs in sr_merge/2 when failing to reconcile the
Y registers.
To fix this bug this bug we will introduce a new function called
maybe_adjust_stack/5. It will save X registers on the stack only
if the code is inside a catch but not inside a guard. We will
change all existing code to use this new function when appropriate.

beam_bool: Fix unsafe optimization
|
|
beam_bool would make the following code unsafe (which would be
reported by beam_validator):
scotland(Echo) ->
found(case Echo of
Echo when true; Echo, Echo, Echo ->
Echo;
echo ->
[]
end,
Echo = placed).
found(_, _) -> million.
Basically, beam_bool would see that the 'case' would always return
the value of Echo. Thus:
scotland(Echo) ->
found(Echo, Echo = placed).
The only problem is that beam_bool would also remove a 'move'
instruction that would save Echo to the stack. Here is the
assembly code for part of the function:
{allocate_zero,1,1}.
{move,{x,0},{y,0}}. %% Save Echo on stack.
{bif,'=:=',{f,7},[{x,0},{atom,true}],{x,1}}.
{bif,'=:=',{f,7},[{x,0},{atom,true}],{x,2}}.
{bif,'=:=',{f,7},[{x,0},{atom,true}],{x,3}}.
{bif,'and',{f,7},[{x,2},{x,3}],{x,2}}.
{bif,'and',{f,7},[{x,1},{x,2}],{x,1}}.
{jump,{f,8}}.
{label,7}.
{move,{atom,false},{x,1}}.
{label,8}.
{bif,'or',{f,6},[{atom,true},{x,1}],{x,1}}.
{test,is_eq_exact,{f,6},[{x,1},{atom,true}]}. %% Jump never taken.
{jump,{f,5}}.
{label,6}.
{test,is_eq_exact,{f,9},[{x,0},{atom,echo}]}.
{move,nil,{x,0}}.
{jump,{f,5}}.
{label,9}.
{test_heap,3,0}.
{put_tuple,2,{x,0}}.
{put,{atom,case_clause}}.
{put,{y,0}}.
{line,[{location,"t.erl",5}]}.
{call_ext,1,{extfunc,erlang,error,1}}.
{jump,{f,5}}.
{label,5}.
{test,is_eq_exact,{f,12},[{atom,placed},{y,0}]}.
beam_bool would see that the is_eq_exact test at label 8 would
always succeed. It could therefore remove most of the code before
the jump to label 5. Unfortunately it also removed the essential
move of Echo to the stack:
{allocate_zero,1,1}.
%% Instruction incorrectly removed: {move,{x,0},{y,0}}.
{jump,{f,5}}.
{label,5}.
{test,is_eq_exact,{f,12},[{atom,placed},{y,0}]}.
The root cause of the problem is that the 'move' instruction is
included in the block of 'bif' instructions before label 8.
Normally the 'move' instruction would not have been discarded,
but because the left operand to the 'or' BIF is 'true', the
entire block with 'bif' instructions are dropped.
As far as I can see, there is no gain by including 'move'
instructions in the first place. There is no way that better
code will be produced. In fact, the entire optimization can
be given up if 'move' instructions are found in the block.
Thus we can fix this bug by never including any 'move' instructions
in the block of 'bif' instructions. We can also remove all the
code that deals with 'move' instructions within blocks.

In most cases, we don't have to seed the random number generator,
as the rand:uniform/1 takes care about that itself.

Before 912fea0b beam_validator could validate disassembled files.
That's probably why the entry label was allowed to be 'undefined'.
|
|
No one has used the debug support in many years. Also, the debug
support is not free. There are calls to lists:foreach/2 that will be
executed even when debug support is turned off.
|
|
Using a map to store the number of free variables for funs instead of
an orddict will speed up the v3_kernel pass for modules with a huge
number of funs (such as NBAP-PDU-Contents in the asn1 test suite).
|
|
For huge modules with many funs (such as NBAP-PDU-Contents in the asn1
test suite), the call to length/1 in beam_dict:lambda/3 will dominate
the running time of the beam_asm pass.
|
|
Eliminate searching in the list of exported functions in favor of
using a map. For modules with a huge number of exported functions
(such as NBAP-PDU-Contents in the asn1 test suite), that will mean a
significant speed-up.
|
|
For large modules, a map is significantly faster than a dict.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The atom 'all' can never occur in a size field before sys_pre_expand
has been run.
|
|
The handling of non-remote calls is messy, with several lookups
to determine whether the call is local or to some imported module.
We can simplify the code if we keep a map that immediately gives
us the answer. Here is an example of what the map entries look
like:
{f,1} => local
{foldl,3} => {imported,lists}
That is, there should be a local call to f/1 and a remote call
to lists:foldl/3.
Note that there is no longer any need to keep the set of all defined
functions in the state record.
|
|
Before the Core Erlang passes were introduced a long time ago,
sys_pre_expand used to track used and new variables in order to
do lambda lifting (i.e. transform funs into ordinary Erlang
functions). Lambda lifting is now done in v3_kernel.
Remove the few remaining vestiges of variable tracking in the
comments and the code.
|
|
Importing from_list/1 and union/2 from the 'ordsets', while at
the same time making calls explicit calls to the functions with
same name in the 'gb_sets' module is confusing. Make all calls
to 'ordsets' explicit.
