* bjorn/compiler/misc-opt: v3_kernel: Construct literal lists properly Use the register map in %live in beam_utils:is_killed_block/2 Teach beam_utils to check liveness for put_map instructions beam_peep: Help out beam_jump
2016-04-14v3_kernel: Construct literal lists properlyBjörn Gustavsson
Use cerl:make_list/1 instead of a home-made make_list/1 to ensure that literal lists are constructed as literals. In a future release, we would like to forbid in the loader construction of literal lists using instructions like: put_list {atom,a} [] Dst The proper way is: move {literal,[a]} {x,0} Also update the comment about "put_list Const [] Dst" in ops.tab.

beam_jump fails to optimize the following: jump 2 label 1 label 2 Since this situation is rare, instead of complicating beam_jump, add the optimization to beam_peep. It will always succeed, since adjacent labels have been coalesced.

2016-03-10beam_block: Eliminate unsafe optimizationBjörn Gustavsson
Consider this code: %% Start of block get_tuple_element Tuple 0 Element get_map_elements Fail Map [Key => Dest] . . . move Element UltimateDest %% End of block Fail: %% Code that uses Element. beam_block (more precisely, otp_tuple_element/1) would incorrectly transform the code to this: %% Start of block get_map_elements Fail Map [Key => Dest] . . . get_tuple_element Tuple 0 UltimateDest %% End of block Fail: %% Code that uses Element. That is, the code at label Fail would use register Element, which is either uninitalized or contains the wrong value. We could fix this problem by always keeping label information at hand when optimizing blocks so that we could check the code at the failure label for get_map_elements. That would require changes to beam_block and beam_utils. We might consider doing that in the future if it turns out be worth it. For now, I have decided that I want to keep the simplicity of blocks (allowing them to be optimized without keeping label information). That could be achieved by not including get_map_elements in blocks. Another way, which I have chosen, is to only allow get_map_elements as the first instruction in the block. For background on the bug: c288ab8 introduced the beam_reorder pass and 5f431276 introduced opt_tuple_element() in beam_block.
2016-03-01Generalize bit string comprehensionsBjörn Gustavsson
The expression in a bit string comprehension is limited to a literal bit string expression. That is, the following code is legal: << <<X>> || X <- List >> but not this code: << foo(X) || X <- List >> The limitation is annoying. For one thing, tools that transform the abstract format must be careful not to produce code such as: << begin %% Some instrumentation code. <<X>> end || X <- List >> One reason for the limitation could be that we'll get reduce/reduce conflicts if we try to allow an arbitrary expression in a bit string comprehension: binary_comprehension -> '<<' expr '||' lc_exprs '>>' : {bc,?anno('$1'),'$2','$4'}. Unfortunately, there does not seem to be an easy way to work around that problem. The best we can do is to allow 'expr_max' expressions (as in the binary syntax): binary_comprehension -> '<<' expr_max '||' lc_exprs '>>' : {bc,?anno('$1'),'$2','$4'}. That will work, but functions calls must be enclosed in parentheses: << (foo(X)) || X <- List >>

2016-02-25Produce warnings for binary patterns that will never matchBjörn Gustavsson
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.

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. Reported-by: José Valim

2016-02-03v3_core: Eliminate double processing of patternsBjörn Gustavsson
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.
2016-01-28Extend cerl_trees:mapfold with a 'pre-order' operationStavros Aronis
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).

* maint: Fix crash when attempting to update a fun as if it were a map
2016-01-12Fix crash when attempting to update a fun as if it were a mapBjörn Gustavsson
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. Reported-by: Thomas Arts

* maint: Eliminate crash in v3_codegen
2016-01-11Eliminate crash in v3_codegenBjörn Gustavsson
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. Reported-by: Thomas Arts

* maint: beam_bool: Fix unsafe optimization
2016-01-07beam_bool: Fix unsafe optimizationBjörn Gustavsson
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. Reported-by: Thomas Arts
