2012-02-06debugger tests: Increase time trap timeoutBjörn Gustavsson
Some bit syntax test cases take much longer time to complete when libraries are in native code, probably because of context switches between the eval_bits module and the debugger modules.

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.

These dependency files was once used when building the documentation, but are no longer needed.
2011-08-18debugger: By default, only save non-tail-recursive callsBjörn Gustavsson
By default, the debugger use to save all calls on its simulated stack. That could facilitate finding errors, but it could also mean that the Debugger could become very slow while executing tail-recursive code.

2011-08-16emulator: Add a fourth element in exception stacktracesBjörn Gustavsson
This commit is a preparation for introducing location information (filename/line number) in stacktraces in exceptions. Currently a stack trace looks like: [{Mod1,Function1,Arity1}, . . . {ModN,FunctionN,ArityN}] Add a forth element to each tuple that can be used indication the filename and line number of the source file: [{Mod1,Function1,Arity1,Location1}, . . . {ModN,FunctionN,ArityN,LocationN}] In this commit, the fourth element will just be an empty list, and we will change all code that look at or manipulate stacktraces.
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.
2011-08-16Don't include tail-recursive calls in stacktracesBjörn Gustavsson
The stacktrace in debugger-generated exceptions should be as similar to stacktraces in BEAM-generated exceptions as possible.
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.
2011-08-16dbg_ieval: Properly handle exceptions when binary construction failsBjörn Gustavsson
An exception from eval_bits:expr_grp/5 (for constructing binaries) was not caught and handled by exception/4; thus exit_info and and stacktrace for the process was not set.
2011-08-16Fix binary matching in the debuggerBjörn Gustavsson
'eval_bits' is a common utility module used for evaluting binary construction and matching. The functions that do matching (match_bits/{6,7} and bin_gen/6) are supposed to treat the bindings as an abstract data type, but they assume that the bindings have the same representation as in the erl_eval module. That may cause binary matching to fail in the debugger, because the debugger represents the bindings as an unordered list of two-tuples, while the erl_eval modules uses an ordered list of two-tuple (an ordset). One way to fix the problem would be to let the debugger to use ordered lists to represent the bindings. Unfortunately, that would also change how the bindings are presented in the user interface. Currently, the variable have most been recently assigned is shown first, which is convenient. Fix the matching problem by mending the leaky abstraction in eval_bits. The matching functions needs to be passed two additional operations: one for looking up a variable in the bindings and one for adding a binding. Those operations could be passed as two more funs (in addition to the evaluation and match fun already passed), but the functions already have too many arguments. Therefore, change the meaning of the match fun, so that the first argument is the operation to perform ('match', 'binding', or 'add_binding') and second argument is a tuple with arguments for the operation.
2011-08-16Delay saving of the stack in exit_info when an exception occursBjörn Gustavsson
When an exception occurs, the entire stack will be converted to the external term format and kept in the exit_info variable in the process dictionary. But the exit_info variable will only be needed if the exception causes the process to terminate (not if it is caught). Delay the conversion of the stack to external format. That can save significant amounts of time (e.g. in bs_construct:mem_leak/1).
2011-08-16Eliminate warnings in test suitesBjörn Gustavsson
2011-08-16Update test suites that have been copied from other applicationsBjörn Gustavsson
A long time ago, test suites were copied from other applications. Copy the tests again to get more test cases.
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.
2011-08-16Make stacktraces in exceptions more similar to BEAM's stacktracesBjörn Gustavsson
When an exception was generated from interpreted code, the stacktrace would not look exactly like BEAM's stacktraces. There would generally be fewer entries (never more than three), and the top entry would always have MFAs with the actual arguments (rather than the arity). There are two good reasons for making the stacktraces as similar as possible: * Code that examines a stacktrace can behave differently in the interpreted and BEAM code if the stacktraces are different. * It is easier to test the debugger if test suites for other applications (such as the emulator) can be run with the debugger with as few modifications as possible.
2011-08-16Don't build stacktrace until erlang:get_stacktrace() is calledBjörn Gustavsson
Currently, dbg_istk:exception_stacktrace/2 does not do a very good job imitating BEAM's stacktrace. The reason is that it need to be relatively fast since a simulated stacktrace is constructed not only when an exception oocurs, but also before every call to non-interpreted code. To prepare for a future more thorough (and slower) stacktrace construction, refactor the building of the stacktrace so that it only is done when erlang:get_stacktrace/0 is called.
2011-08-16Rewrite stack handlingBjörn Gustavsson
Problems with the current stack implementation: * The GUI assumes that the stack frame pushed on the stack is level 2. If the 'no_tail' option is set for the process, there may not be an entry for level 2. * In each stack entry, the line number is the line number of the caller, not the line number for the function in the 'mfa' field as might be expected. That complicates generation of a stacktrace with line number information. Change the implementation as follows: * Keep the information for the current function (its MFA and current line number) in the #ieval{} record. Don't push it onto the stack. Only push the information when another function is called. That will ensure that the MFA and the line number is found in the same stack entry. That also has the advantage that if the 'no_tail' option is set, the stack not need to be modified for tail-recursive calls. * Make sure that there always is an entry for level two.
2011-08-16Slightly clean-up and optimize some evaluation codeBjörn Gustavsson
There is no need to set #ieval.top to false in every iteration of eval_list/1.
2011-08-16ieval record: Rename the misnamed 'last_call' field to 'top'Björn Gustavsson
The 'last_call' is badly named. What is means is that the next call will leave intepreted code.
