We don't attempt to run the generated code, but use beam_disasm
and check for the presence or absence (as appropriate) of the
recv_mark/1 and recv_set/1 instructions.
|
|
If a gen_server process has many messages in its message queue and
calls another gen_server process, the selective receive in
gen_server:call() will have to go through the entire message queue.
Have the compiler generate the new mark_recv/1 and mark_recv/1
instructions that can avoid going through the entire message queue.
|
|
Make the recv_mark/1 and recv_mark/1 instructions known to the
compiler and run-time system. For the moment, make the loader ignore
any occurrences of those instructions in BEAM files.
Also update hipe_beam_to_icode to ignore those instructions.
|
|
It can be useful for other test suites.

* bg/compiler-suppress-result-ignored:
compiler tests: Eliminate "result of expression is ignored" warnings
Silence warnings for expressions that are assigned to "_"
OTP-8602 bg/compiler-suppress-result-ignored
It is now possible to suppress the warning in code such as
"list_to_integer(S), ok" by assigning the ignored value "_" like this: "_ =
list_to_integer(S), ok".

Original patch from YAMASHINA Hio posted to erlang-patches@
on Tue Jun 12 11:27:53 CEST 2007:
http://www.erlang.org/pipermail/erlang-patches/2007-June/000182.html
http://fleur.hio.jp/pub/erlang/record2.patch
Only had to do minor changes to port the patch to the
current R14A development tree.
Also added compiler/record_SUITE:nested_access/2 to test
nested record access with or without parentheses.
With this change the following will work.
-record(nrec0, {name = <<"nested0">>}).
-record(nrec1, {name = <<"nested1">>, nrec0=#nrec0{}}).
-record(nrec2, {name = <<"nested2">>, nrec1=#nrec1{}}).
nested_access() ->
N0 = #nrec0{},
N1 = #nrec1{},
N2 = #nrec2{},
<<"nested0">> = N0#nrec0.name,
<<"nested1">> = N1#nrec1.name,
<<"nested2">> = N2#nrec2.name,
<<"nested0">> = N1#nrec1.nrec0#nrec0.name,
<<"nested0">> = N2#nrec2.nrec1#nrec1.nrec0#nrec0.name,
<<"nested1">> = N2#nrec2.nrec1#nrec1.name,
<<"nested0">> = ((N2#nrec2.nrec1)#nrec1.nrec0)#nrec0.name,
N1a = N2#nrec2.nrec1#nrec1{name = <<"nested1a">>},
<<"nested1a">> = N1a#nrec1.name,
N2a = N2#nrec2.nrec1#nrec1.nrec0#nrec0{name = <<"nested0a">>},
N2b = ((N2#nrec2.nrec1)#nrec1.nrec0)#nrec0{name = <<"nested0a">>},
<<"nested0a">> = N2a#nrec0.name,
N2a = N2b,
ok.

* bg/compiler-fmove-opt:
beam_type: Improve coalescing of fmove/2 and move/2 instructions

test suites: Remove incidental use of deprecated concat_binary/1
Postpone removal of concat_binary/1

OTP-8584 bg/deprecations

The following instruction sequence:
fmove {fr,Fr} {x,TempXreg}
move {x,TempXreg} {y,Dest}
is rewritten to:
fmove {fr,Fr} {y,Dest}
(Provided that {x,TempXreg} is killed by the instructions following
the sequence.)
Generalize the optimization to also handle:
fmove {fr,Fr} {x,TempXreg}
move {x,TempXreg} {_,Dest}
That is, the destination register can be either an X or Y register.

There is currently no zero-cost way to silence the warning
"the result of the expression is ignored", which is issued
for code such as:
list_to_integer(S),
ok
Such code can be useful for assertions or input validation.
Teach the compiler to silence the warning for expressions
that are explicitly assigned to to the "_" variable,
such as:
_ = list_to_integer(S),
ok
Implement it by having the v3_core pass annotate calls in
Core Erlang like this:
let <_> = ( call 'erlang':'list_to_integer'(S) -| ['result_not_wanted'] )
in 'ok'
and modifiy sys_core_fold to suppress the warning for any call
having the annotation.
We deliberately do not make it possible to silence the warnings
for expressions like:
{build,an,unnecessary,term}, ok
or
is_list(L), ok
because we don't know of any real-world scenarios in which that would
be useful.

Don't use the deprecated concat_binary/1 BIF in test suites
that don't specifically test concat_binary/1 itself.

* bg/compiler-inliner:
pmod_SUITE: Again test inlining parameterized modules
compiler tests: Cope with missing args in function_clause for native code
compiler tests: Compile a few more modules with 'inline'
Consistently rewrite an inlined function_clause exception to case_clause
compiler tests: Test the 'inline' option better
compiler: Suppress bs_context_to_binary/1 for a literal operand
compiler: Fix binary matching bug in the inliner
sys_core_inline: Don't generated multiple compiler_generated annos
OTP-8552 bg/compiler-inliner
Several problems in the inliner have been fixed.
|
|
Commit 91de9d0670c6fe1cff08cefa6e1c396effba47b8 stopped testing
inlining of parameterized modules, because of a bug in the inliner.
|
|
Native-compiled code generates a different stack trace for
function_clause exceptions - instead of the arguments for the
function, only the arity is reported. Accept missing arguments
if the test suite is native-compiled.
|
|
Since a function_clause exception in an inlined function will
be changed to a case_clause exception, we must test for both.
|
|
A function_clause exception is generated by jumping to a func_info/3
instruction at the beginning of the function. The x registers are
assumed to contain the arguments for the function. That means
that a func_info/3 instruction copied from another function
(or even from the same function if not at the top level) will
not work, so it must be replaced with an instruction that
generates a case_clause exception.
In Core Erlang, a func_info/3 instruction is represented as
a the primop match_fail({function_clause,Arg1,...ArgN}).
The current mechanism that is supposed to replace the
primop match_fail(function_clause) with match_fail(case_clause)
will fail to do that in the following circumstances:
1. If the inliner has inlined a function into itself.
Fix that by having the inliner clear the function_name annotations
on all match_fail primops in functions that are inlined. (To simplify
doing that, the annotation is now on the primop node itself and not on
the 'function_clause' atom inside it.)
2. If the inliner has rewritten the tuple node in the primop node
to a literal (when inlining a function call with literal arguments),
v3_kernel would not recognize the match_fail(function_clause) primop
and would not rewrite it. Fix it by making v3_kernel smarter.
Also simplify the "old" inliner (sys_core_inline) to only clear
the function_name annotations instead of rewriting function_clause
execptions to case_clause execptions itself.
|
|
Clone some test suites and compile them with the 'inline' option
to test inlining more thorughly.
|
|
The inliner can cause illegal uses of the bs_context_to_binary/1
instruction, such as:
bs_context_to_binary {literal,"string"}
or
bs_context_to_binary {integer,1}
Remove the bs_context_to_binary/1 instruction if the operand
is not a register (it is clearly not needed).
|
|
The inliner incorrectly assumes that a literal cannot
match a binary in code such as:
t() ->
bc(<<"string">>).
bc(<<A:1,T/bits>>) -> [A|bc(T)];
bc(<<>>) -> [].
The bug was introduced when binary literals were introduced.
|
|
Multiple compiler_generated annotations are harmless, but makes
listing files harder to read during debugging.

* bg/compiler-remove-r11-support:
compiler: Don't support the no_binaries option
erts: Don't support the put_string/3 instruction
compiler: Don't support the no_constant_pool option
compiler: Don't support the r11 option
test_server: Don't support communication with R11 nodes
binary_SUITE: Don't test bit-level binary roundtrips with R11 nodes
erts: Test compatibility of funs with R12 instead of R11
OTP-8531 bg/compiler-remove-r11-support
|
|
The no_binaries option terminates the compiler with an error
if any bit syntax is used in the module being compiled.
(It used to be implied by the removed r11 option.)
|
|
Since R14 does not need to load code that can also be loaded
in an R11 run-time system, support for the put_string/3
instruction can be removed.
|
|
The no_constant_pool option was implied by the r11 option. It turns
off the usage of the constant (literal) pool, so that BEAM
instructions that use constants can be loaded in an R11 system.
Since the r11 option has been removed, there is no need to
retain the no_constant_pool option.
|
|
The r11 option was used to generate BEAM modules that could
loaded both on both R11 and R12/R13 to facilitate testing
that R11 and R13 nodes could communicate with each other.
Since R14 is only required to be compatible with R12 and
R13 nodes, the r11 option is no longer needed.

* ks/compiler:
compiler: keep line numbers for attributes
compiler Makefile: alphabetize module names
compile.erl: eliminate compiler warning
|
|
|
|
In the future, we might want to generate warnings
for attributes, referring to them with line numbers.
sys_pre_expand used to replace line number for attributes
with 0. Change sys_pre_expand to retain the real line
number.
v3_core used to throw away the line numbers. Change
v3_core so that it retains the line numbers in annotations.
While at it, do some tidying as suggested by tidier.

We must also catch exits, not only errors, since the hipe
compilers does an exit/1 if an internal error is found.
|
|
Implement the 'no_native' option to disable native-code
compilation. If given in a module like this:
-compile(no_native).
it will override a 'native' option given on the command
line.

* cf/compile_warning_as_error:
Add option -Werror in erlc(1)
compile: add flag warnings_as_errors to treat warnings as errors
compile.erl: remove trailing whitespace
OTP-8382 The -Werror option for erlc and the compiler option
warnings_as_errors will cause warnings to be treated as errors.
(Thanks to Christopher Faulet.)
|
|
With this flag, warnings are treated as errors, like gcc flag '-Werror'.

* bg/compiler-beam_validator:
beam_validator: fix incorrect assumptions about GC guard BIFs
OTP-8378 In rare circumstances when using garbaging collecting guard BIFs,
the validation pass (beam_validator) would signal that the code
was unsafe, when it in fact was correct. (Thanks to Kiran
Khaladkar.)
|
|
The beam_validator pass incorrectly assumes that a GC guard
BIF (such as length/1) may first do a garbage collection
and then fail. That assumption is not correct (guards BIF
only do garbage collection when it is known that the BIF
call will succeed), and will cause the compiler to reject
valid programs.
Modify the beam_validator to assume that if the branch is
taken for a gc_bif instruction, all registers are unchanged
and no garbage collection has occurred. Also add a comment
in the emulator about that assumption.

* bg/on_load:
Test on_load functions that don't return 'ok'
Change the expected return value for on_load functions
OTP-8339 The expected return value for an on_load function has been
changed. (See the section about code loading in the Reference
manual.)
|
|
* bg/compiler-bopt-bug:
beam_bool: Fix generation of code that does not validate
Fix crash in beam_bool
OTP-8338 Using complex boolean expressions in ifs could cause the compiler
to either crash or teminate with an internal error. (Thanks to
Simon Cornish.)
|
|
An on_load function is supposed to return 'true' to indicate
that the module should be loaded, and 'false' if it should be
unloaded. But returning any other term, as well as causing an
exception, will also unload the module.
Since we don't like boolean values mixed with other values,
change the expected return value as follows:
* If 'ok' is returned, the module will remain loaded and become
callable.
* If any other value is returned (or an exception is generated),
the module will be unloaded. Also, if the returned value is
not an atom, send a warning message to the error_logger
(using error_logger:warning_msg/2).
The new interpretation of the return value means that an on_load
function can now directly return the return value from
erlang:load_nif/2.

The following code (by Simon Cornish)
bad(XDo1, XDo2, Do3) ->
Do1 = (XDo1 =/= []),
Do2 = (XDo2 =/= []),
CH1 = if Do1 == true;
Do1 == false,Do2==false,Do3 == blah ->
ch1;
true ->
no
end,
CH2 = if Do1 == true;
Do1 == false,Do2==false,Do3 == xx ->
ch2;
true ->
no
end,
{CH1,CH2}.
is optimized by beam_bool even though the optimization is not
safe. The trouble is that an assignment to {y,0} no longer
occurs on all paths leading to its use.
The bug is in dst_regs/2 which is supposed to return a set
of all registers assigned in a code block, but it ignores
registers assigned in 'move' instructions.
Fix the bug by taking 'move' instructions into account. This change
is safe since it can only cause more registers to be added
to the MustBeKilled and MustBeUnused sets in ensure_opt_safe/6,
which means that it can only cause the optimization to be turned
off for code that used to be optimized.
|
|
The following code crashes beam_bool:
bad(XDo1, XDo2, Do3) ->
Do1 = (XDo1 =/= []),
Do2 = (XDo2 =/= []),
if Do1 =:= true;
Do1 =:= false, Do2 =:= false, Do3 =:= delete ->
no
end.
(Reported by Simon Cornish; minimized by Kostis Sagonas.)
For the moment fix the bug in the simplest and safest way possible
(basically, instead of crashing just don't do the optimization).
In a future major release (e.g. R14), the following improvements
could be considered:
* In beam_bool, it should be possible to move the Do1 and Do2
expressions to the pre-block and still optimize the expression
in the 'if' statement.
* In sys_core_fold, it should be possible to eliminate the
try/catch around the guard expression in the 'if', because
none of the guard tests can actually fail.

The original intention for the undocumented 'slim' option was
to omit non-essential parts of *.beam files to reduce the
size of the primary bootstrap. Therefore, debug information and
local function information (only used by xref, not by the loader)
are omitted, but information about the compilation time and
compiler version are still included.
Including compilation information is troublesome, however, when
committing the bootstrap into a revision control system, because
every beam file is guaranteed to be changed every time the bootstrap
is updated.
Therefore, change the 'slim' option to also omit compilation
information.
