2016-09-02Fix overridden BIFsBjörn Gustavsson
The filters in a list comprehension can be guard expressions or an ordinary expressions. If a guard expression is used as a filter, an exception will basically mean the same as 'false': t() -> L = [{some_tag,42},an_atom], [X || X <- L, element(1, X) =:= some_tag] %% Returns [{some_tag,42}] On the other hand, if an ordinary expression is used as a filter, there will be an exception: my_element(N, T) -> element(N, T). t() -> L = [{some_tag,42},an_atom], [X || X <- L, my_element(1, X) =:= some_tag] %% Causes a 'badarg' exception when element(1, an_atom) is evaluated It has been allowed for several releases to override a BIF with a local function. Thus, if we define a function called element/2, it will be called instead of the BIF element/2 within the module. We must use the "erlang:" prefix to call the BIF. Therefore, the following code is expected to work the same way as in our second example above: -compile({no_auto_import,[element/2]}). element(N, T) -> erlang:element(N, T). t() -> L = [{some_tag,42},an_atom], [X || X <- L, element(1, X) =:= some_tag]. %% Causes a 'badarg' exception when element(1, an_atom) is evaluated But the compiler refuses to compile the code with the following diagnostic: call to local/imported function element/2 is illegal in guard
2016-09-01debugger: Eliminate use of sys_pre_expandBjörn Gustavsson
2016-08-04Move expansion of strings in binaries to v3_coreJosé Valim
This speeds up the compilation of binary literals with string values in them. For example, compiling a file with a ~340kB binary would yield the following times by the compiler: Compiling "foo" parse_module : 0.130 s 5327.6 kB transform_module : 0.000 s 5327.6 kB lint_module : 0.011 s 5327.8 kB expand_module : 0.508 s 71881.2 kB v3_core : 0.463 s 11.5 kB Notice the increase in memory and processing time in expand_module and v3_core. This happened because expand_module would expand the string in binaries into chars. For example, the binary <<"foo">>, which is represented as {bin, 1, [ {bin_element, 1, {string, 1, "foo"}, default, default} ]} would be converted to {bin, 1, [ {bin_element, 1, {char, 1, $f}, default, default}, {bin_element, 1, {char, 1, $o}, default, default}, {bin_element, 1, {char, 1, $o}, default, default} ]} However, v3_core would then traverse all of those characters and convert it into an actual binary, as it is a literal value. This patch addresses this issue by moving the expansion of string into chars to v3_core and only if a literal value cannot not be built. This reduces the compilation time of the file mentioned above to the values below: Compiling "bar" parse_module : 0.134 s 5327.6 kB transform_module : 0.000 s 5327.6 kB lint_module : 0.005 s 5327.8 kB expand_module : 0.000 s 5328.7 kB v3_core : 0.013 s 11.2 kB

2015-04-30debugger: Optimize evaluation of new map creationBjörn Gustavsson
Make sure that we recognize map literals at load time, as we do for lists and tuples. Also use maps:from_list/1 to build a new map instead of building it up from scratch inserting one key/value pair at the time.
2015-04-30dbg_iload: Correct translation of generatorsBjörn Gustavsson
The pattern in the generator for a list or binary comprehension was processed as an expression instead of as a pattern. That happened to work because expressions and patterns were translated in the same way. In the future we might want to process expressions and patterns differently.
2015-04-30debugger: Use module erl_annoHans Bolinder
2014-03-20Fix some Dialyzer warningsHans Bolinder
Dialyzer recognizes a certain pattern that makes it possible to get rid of 'The created fun has no local return' warnings.

* nox/debugger/erl_eval_SUITE/OTP-11676: Truly test debugger in erl_eval_SUITE copy
2014-02-10Truly test debugger in erl_eval_SUITE copyAnthony Ramine
The module was not interpreted. This surfaced two bugs, related to shadowed variables in binary patterns in comprehension generators, and guard filters not properly detected. The guard detection code from dbg_iload is deleted in favor of erl_lint:is_guard_test/1. The erl_lint module is now safe to use because it can handle all expressions emitted by sys_pre_expand, the following warning is thus obsolete and has been removed from code: %% Cannot use erl_lint here as sys_pre_expand has transformed source.
2014-02-04Support maps in the debuggerAnthony Ramine
A test is commented-out in map_SUITE:t_update_exact/1, waiting for a fixed maps:update/3 function with correct integer/float semantics.
2013-12-12Support named funs in the debugger interpreterAnthony Ramine
The current code for the evaluation of ordinary funs is dependent on the order on variables in the fun environment as returned by erlang:fun_info(Fun, env). As it happened, adding the code for named funs changed the order in the environment for ordinary funs. To avoid the problem in the future, make sure that we only have one free variable in the funs that we will need to inspect using erlang:fun_info(Fun, env).
2011-11-07EEP-23: Allow variables in fun M:F/ABjörn Gustavsson
Currently, the external fun syntax "fun M:F/A" only supports literals. That is, "fun lists:reverse/1" is allowed but not "fun M:F/A". In many real-life situations, some or all of M, F, A are not known until run-time, and one is forced to either use the undocumented erlang:make_fun/3 BIF or to use a "tuple fun" (which is deprecated). EEP-23 suggests that the parser (erl_parse) should immediately transform "fun M:F/A" to "erlang:make_fun(M, F, A)". We have not followed that approach in this implementation, because we want the abstract code to mirror the source code as closely as possible, and we also consider erlang:make_fun/3 to be an implementation detail that we might want to remove in the future. Instead, we will change the abstract format for "fun M:F/A" (in a way that is not backwards compatible), and while we are at it, we will move the translation from "fun M:F/A" to "erlang:make_fun(M, F, A)" from sys_pre_expand down to the v3_core pass. We will also update the debugger and xref to use the new format. We did consider making the abstract format backward compatible if no variables were used in the fun, but decided against it. Keeping it backward compatible would mean that there would be different abstract formats for the no-variable and variable case, and tools would have to handle both formats, probably forever.

2011-08-16Remove support for very old BEAM filesBjörn Gustavsson
Since the run-time system cannot load those BEAM files, it was not possible to debug them anyway.
2011-08-16Fix the no_tail optionBjörn Gustavsson
The 'no_tail' option was broken and would work almost as the 'all' option, because it would use #ieval.top (formerly known as #ieval.last_call) as the basis for its decision to push or not. Fix it by including a boolean in each call/apply instruction indicating whether the call is tail-recursive and pass that boolean to the dbg_istk:push() function.
2011-08-16Fix handling of guard BIFs in list and binary comprehensionsBjörn Gustavsson
In a list comprehension, a failing call to a guard BIF means false (rather than an exception).
2011-08-16Handle terms in the top-level of guards properlyBjörn Gustavsson
Expressions in guards such as: f() when [1,2,3] -> ok. would cause the debugger to crash when attempting to interpret the module containing the expressions. Other kind of constants such as: f() when 42 -> ok. were converted to an invalid internal format ({integer,Line,42} instead of {value,Line,42}), but that happened to work because because anything not equal to 'true' (even a crash) was interpreted as 'false'. Make sure to handle all possible expressions and convert them directly to {value,Line,false}. Remove the special handling of the atom 'true' in and_guard/1 since it is no longer needed.
2011-08-16Make sure that erlang:raise/3 sets the emulated stacktraceBjörn Gustavsson
erlang:raise/3 was evaluated in the real process, which produced a correct stacktrace, but did not set emulated stacktrace for the process. Thus, a subsequent call to erlang:get_stacktrace/0 would retrieve the previous stacktrace for the process.
2011-08-16dbg_iload: Remove unnecessary handling of old guard testsBjörn Gustavsson
sys_pre_expand has already rewritten old guard tests to new guard tests.
2011-08-16Remove the special handling of Mod:module_info/{0,1}Björn Gustavsson
Many releases ago, Mod:module_info/{0,1} used to be specially handled in the BEAM loader. The debugger has similar special handling. In the current implementation, Mod:module_info/{0,1} are ordinary functions that call special BIFs to do their work. Therefore, remove the special handling of Mod:module_info/{0,1} in the debugger.
2011-08-16Remove the special handling of spawn BIFsBjörn Gustavsson
BIFs that spawn new processes once upon a time needed/benefited from special handling, but now they are handled in exactly the same way as an unsafe BIF (except for a bug in the handling of the return value trace). Therefore, treat spawn BIFs as unsafe BIFs.
2011-08-16Remove BIFs that no longer exist from dbg_iload:bif_type/1Björn Gustavsson
2011-08-16Handle all guard BIFs as safe in function bodiesBjörn Gustavsson
Make sure that all guards BIFs are handled as safe BIFs in function bodies. BIFs in guards are already handled as safe. (self/0 is not safe, but it is already specially handled.)
2011-08-16Remove support for erlang:fault/{1,2}Björn Gustavsson
Since erlang:fault/{1,2} is no longer supported in the run-time system (it was removed several releases ago), there is no need to still support it in the debugger.
2011-07-06Remove deprecated concat_binary/1Björn Gustavsson
concat_binary/1 was deprecated in R13B04, but already in the R10B-2 release, the documentation recommends using list_to_binary/1 instead.

2010-06-07Remove tid() from the predefined builtin types.Kostis Sagonas
Change erl_lint not to recognize this type as builtin and add a new erl_lint.beam version in bootstrap. Add an -opaque type declaration for this type in ets.erl and also declare this as an exported type. Use this type in file debugger/src/dbg_iload.erl in a spec. While at it, also clean up this later file a bit.
