* jp/dependencies_makefile: Add dependencies Makefile generation to erlc(1) and compile(3) Conflicts: lib/compiler/test/compile_SUITE.erl OTP-9065
2011-02-18Add dependencies Makefile generation to erlc(1) and compile(3)Jean-Sébastien Pédron
This is useful when a project is built with Makefiles and erlc(1) instead of EMakefiles. Tracking dependencies by hand is error-prone and it becomes painful when using external application headers like EUnit's one. A dependencies Makefile will look like this: module.beam: module.erl \ /usr/local/lib/erlang/lib/eunit-2.1.4/include/eunit.hrl \ header.hrl When included in the main Makefile, 'module' will be recompiled only when needed. GCC offers the same feature and new erlc(1) options are compatible with it. More informations at: http://wiki.github.com/dumbbell/otp/dependencies-makefile

2011-02-07v3_codegen: Use the latest instance of StBjörn Gustavsson
By accident a previous instance of St is used, which is harmless in this case, but leads to worse quality of the generated code.

2010-12-21compiler: Don't include -export_type as attributes in BEAM filesBjörn Gustavsson
Similar to -spec and -type, -export_type should be not be included as attributes (and therefore loaded) in BEAM files, but only in the abstract code chunk.

2010-12-02Merge branch 'bjorn/fix-compiler-bugs/OTP-8949' into devBjörn Gustavsson
* bjorn/fix-compiler-bugs/OTP-8949: beam_utils: Fix check_liveness/3 for receive loops beam_utils: Fix liveness analysis for gc_bif instructions
2010-12-02beam_utils: Fix check_liveness/3 for receive loopsBjörn Gustavsson
Sometimes the beam_bool pass wants to know whether an y register will be killed by the code that follows and will do (effectively): beam_utils:is_killed({y,Y}, Code, L) When asked to calculate the liveness for an y register, beam_utils:is_killed/3 will loop forever if the code includes a receive loop. Since this rarely occurs, fix the problem in the simplest and most conservative way. Reported-by: Christopher Williams

2010-11-26beam_utils: Fix liveness analysis for gc_bif instructionsBjörn Gustavsson
When gc_bif instructions occurred outside of a block, beam_utils:check_liveness/3 did not take into account that the instruction could do a garbage collection, and could falsely report that an x register would be killed. That could cause the beam_dead pass to make the code unsafe by removing the assignment to an x register that would subsequently be referenced by the garbage collector.

2010-10-12beam_block: Do optimizations in the safe orderBjörn Gustavsson
Moving of allocation instructions upwards in the instruction stream (in order to enable further optimizations) in beam_block, is implemented with the assumption that if a register {x,X} contains a valid term, then all other x register with lower numbers than X also contain valid terms. That assumption is true after code generation. The beam_utils:live_opt/1 optimization, however, may invalidate that assumption. For instance, if a receive statement exports a variable that is used, but the return value of the receive statement is not used, then {x,1} but not {x,0} contains a valid term at the end of the receive statement. If the receive statement is followed by {bif,self,{f,0},[],{x,0}}. {test_heap,NumberOfWords,2}. moving the allocation upwards will produce {test_heap,NumberOfWords,2}. {bif,self,{f,0},[],{x,0}}. which will cause the beam_validator pass to scream loudly that {x,0} is not live at the test_heap instruction. Fix the problem by doing the optimizations in reverse order. Reported-by: Jim Engquist

2010-10-07core_lint: Enforce that tail segments only occur at the endBjörn Gustavsson
2010-09-23Fix compiler crash when constructing zero-size binary segmentsBjörn Gustavsson
Code such as foo(A) -> <<A:0>>. would cause a compiler crash.
2010-09-22Don't generate multiple tail segments in binary matchingBjörn Gustavsson
In binary matching, there must only be one "tail segment" (i.e. a size-less segment of type binary) and it must be last. Thus, the compiler will reject the following function definition: foo(<<A/bits,B/bits>>) -> ok. But code such as the following: [42 || <<_:8/integer, _/bits>> <= Bits] will internally (in the Core Erlang format) be translated to a binary matching pattern containing two tail segments. The compiler happens to generate correct code anyway (later passes will get rid of the redundant tail segment), but it is ugly and will confuse tools such as Dialyzer. Change the transformation of binary generators (in both list and binary comprehensions) not to generate add a tail segment if there already is one.
2010-09-22Factor out some of the code for binary generatorsBjörn Gustavsson
In the code for handling binary generators (in list and binary comprehensions), factor out the code for appending a match-all tail segment onto a pattern into a separate function. That will only make the code somewhat simpler, but will facilitate fixing a bug/misfeture in the next commit.

2010-07-29beam_asm: Simplify string table generation for beamsPaul Guyot
The code for generating the string table (which is now only used for bit syntax matching) in a BEAM file is quite complicated and potentially expensive when compiling modules with many thousands of clauses doing bit syntax matching. Simplify and optimize the code using bit syntax and binary:match/2 instead of the list operations in the original code.

2010-06-09Correct warnings and errors for auto-imported bif clashesPatrik Nyblom
warn_unused_import works correctly (does not give warnings when overridden). Local call in guard gives its own error pointing out the local/imported function. Use of the phrase "overridden auto-imported bif" instead of "redefined auto-imported bif" in textual error messages.

* origin/pan/otp_8579_autoimport_override: Update preloaded modules Update primary bootstrap Remove outcommented code from erl_lint Make port_command/3 auto-imported Remove (harmless) warnings about min/max in core applications Autoimport min/2 and max/2 Improve coverage of erl_int in testcases Change warning to error for nowarn_bif_clash compiler directive Add -compile({no_auto_import,[F/A]}) doc to compiler.xml Add some testcases to compiler to verify that overriding really happens Return nowarn_bif_clash functionality but with warning Teach erl_lint to better override BIFs with local functions and imports Teach compiler to override autoimport with import First prototype for local functions overriding autoimported OTP-8579 Local functions should override auto-imported Local and imported functions now override the autoimported BIFs when the names clash. The pre R14 behaviour was that autoimported BIFs would override local functions. To avoid that old programs change behaviour, the following will generate an error: Doing a call without explicit module name to a local function having a name clashing with the name of an autoimported BIF that was present (and autoimported) before OTP R14A Explicitly importing a function having a name clashing with the name of an autoimported BIF that was present (and autoimported) before OTP R14A Using any form of the old compiler directive nowarn_bif_clash If the BIF was added or autoimported in OTP R14A or later, overriding it with an import or a local function will only result in a warning, To resolve clashes, you can either use the explicit module name erlang to call the BIF, or you can remove the autoimport of that specific BIF by using the new compiler directive -compile({no_auto_import,[F/A]})., which makes all calls to the local or imported function without explicit module name pass without warnings or errors. The change makes it possible to add autoimported BIFs without breaking or silently changing old code in the future. However some current code ingeniously utilizing the old behaviour or the nowarn_bif_clash compiler directive, might need changing to be accepted by the compiler.
