2017-02-03dialyzer: Attempt to reduce memory consumptionHans Bolinder
The 'deps' field is reset when no longer used, which could possibly save some memory.
2017-02-03dialyzer: Do not spawn all workers at onceHans Bolinder
Spawning all worker processes at once has the potential to increase peak memory consumption. Therefore the implementation is now slightly modified: `20 * dialyzer_utils:parallelism()' processes are running in parallel. 20 i quite a big factor, but seems necessary to keep all schedulers busy according to the Observer application's Load Charts, with a 100 ms update interval.
2017-02-03dialyzer: Write PLT in subprocessHans Bolinder
At common case, which will otherwise leave a big heap.
2017-02-03dialyzer: Remove code for non-started workersHans Bolinder
Since SCCs and modules are now topologically sorted (relative the active graph), we can safely assume that workers have been started.
2017-02-03dialyzer: Sort graphs topologicallyHans Bolinder
Although some variable names indicate that lists of SCCs and modules are sorted, that was not always the case. The effect on the execution time of sorting them doesn't seem to be significant. dialyzer_coordinator:sccs_to_pids() should now always return an empty second list (not yet started workers). Since the condensation of graphs often needs a lot of heap memory, it is run in a separate process.
2017-02-03dialyzer: Compress some PLT tablesHans Bolinder
Compressing the signatures or the contract records would cost time. The contract records are still held in two places (code server and PLT) in many cases.
2017-02-03dialyzer: Check return value of digrahp:add_edge()Hans Bolinder
2017-02-03dialyzer: Use less memory for the PLT when analyzingHans Bolinder
The two tables for (record) types and exported types are no longer kept in memory (by the PLT) when analyzing, which reduces memory consumption. A first step towards removing (or replacing) the #plt{} record.
2017-02-03typer: Fix a bug regarding the -T optionHans Bolinder
The -T option has not been working for a long time.
2017-02-03dialyzer: Do not keep the code server's type info on the heapHans Bolinder
The table used during translation of forms to types used to be a dictionary of the type info (-type(), -opaque(), and -record()) for all modules. Now it is reduced to the modules that are needed to handle references to types in other modules. The PLT:s type info is still kept on the heap.

2017-02-01dialyzer: Optimize typesigHans Bolinder
dialyzer_typesig:traverse_scc() now resets the context for each element of the SCC. Since the results of traversing the elements are saved in the 'cmap' table, there is no need to create an SCC conjunction. For huge SCCs this saves quite some time: the lift_lists() function added one element at a time, which made the calculation of deps very slow.
2017-02-01dialyzer: Optimize evaluation of complex codeHans Bolinder
Improve the evaluation of long lists of constraints.

2017-01-11dialyzer: Compact 'file' annotations in Core codeHans Bolinder
File annotations {file, File} in Core Erlang code is replaced by {file, FakeFile}, where FakeFile is "0", "1", ..., in order to save memory. When a warning message is created, FakeFile is translated to the original File (a bit awkward but easy to do). The Core code stored in ETS tables needs less space, but more important is that a less heap memory is used in the dataflow, warnings, and typesig phases, allowing more parallelism.
2017-01-11dialyzer: Try to reduce memory usageHans Bolinder
The translation from forms to types is done in a separate process in an attempt to reduce peak memory usage. Expect further optimizations as it is probably not feasible in the long run to keep all type information on the heap.

2017-01-11dialyzer: Compress a few more ETS tablesHans Bolinder
2017-01-11dialyzer: Optimize memory consumptionHans Bolinder
Some SCC info is no longer cached. It reduces the peak memory consumption of workers during the typesig phase, and seems to cost very little time.
2017-01-11dialyzer: Reduce memory consumption during 'remote' phaseHans Bolinder
The cache used for speeding up the translation from forms to types is no longer global, but reset per module. The peak memory consumption is reduced, and the added time seems to be small.
2017-01-11dialyzer: Update code for finding parallelismHans Bolinder
Using erlang:system_info(schedulers_online) for determining parallelism is recommended by OTP experts. It takes care of "+S 4:1" and simultaneous loading of HiPE code.
2017-01-11dialyzer: Reduce ETS usage during the typesig phaseHans Bolinder
The condensed graph of SCCs occupies less ETS memory. A table translating to and from SCC to a unique integer is introduced.
2017-01-11dialyzer: Optimize graph condensationHans Bolinder
By not using ETS when calculating the condensation of graphs, peak heap memory consumption is reduced.
2017-01-11dialyzer: Do not send full PLTs as messagesHans Bolinder
The mini PLT is extended to hold all data of the full PLT, and the full PLT is restored when needed (for storing the PLT on file).

Suggested by Kostis.
2016-11-22dialyzer: Improve a warning messageHans Bolinder
Messages regarding guards with orelse/andalso could look like "Clause guard cannot succeed. The variable A was matched against the type any()". Now they look like as if or/and is used: "Guard test is_integer(A::atom()) can never succeed".
2016-11-22dialyzer: Improve a warning messageHans Bolinder
Messages like "Invalid type specification for function para3:exp_adt/0. The success typing is () -> 3" now look like "The specification for para3:exp_adt/0 has an opaque subtype para3_adt:exp1(para3_adt:exp2()) which is violated by the success typing () -> 3". The old message did not give any clue as to what invalidated the contract, namely the opaque subtype.
2016-11-22dialyzer: Correct a warnings messageHans Bolinder
Messages like "The attempt to match a term of type rec_api:f() against the variable _ breaks the opaqueness of rec_adt:f()" now look like "The attempt to match a term of type rec_adt:f() against the record field 'f' with type rec_api:f() breaks the opaqueness of the term".

* maint: dialyzer: Fix error handling of bad -dialyzer() attributes
2016-10-21dialyzer: Fix error handling of bad -dialyzer() attributesHans Bolinder
If a dialyzer module attribute references an undefined (local) function an error tuple is thrown but no caught. This leads to a 'nocatch' error and not the intended "clean" error.
2016-09-26Use @ in variable names generated by core and kernelJosé Valim
The previous variable names can be generated by projects like LFE and Elixir, leading to possible conflicts. Our first to choice to solve such conflicts was to use $ but that's not a valid variable name in core. Therefore we picked @ which is currently supported and still reduces the chance of conflicts.

Let it handle `dial_warning()` input as well, to match what `format_warning/2` expects.
2016-07-04dialyzer: Suppress warns on generated case stmtsMagnus Lång
Warnings about clauses that cannot match and are also compiler generated are suppressed unless none of the clauses return. This feature is useful for non-Erlang BEAM languages (such as Elixir) that compile to Erlang and expand certain language constructs into case statements. In that case, as long as the language construct can succeed, these warnings are undesired and appear spurious to users that do not check the Erlang code that their program expands into. Thanks to José Valim for the test (slightly modified).

* stavros/dialyzer/fix_call_site_analysis/OTP-13655/PR-1092: Fix a bug in Dialyzer related to call-site analysis
2016-06-08Fix a bug in Dialyzer related to call-site analysisStavros Aronis
Dialyzer's "dataflow" module is using information from the callgraph to determine which functions may be called at a particular call-site. Unfortunately this information can include functions that are certainly not among the possible choices. We don't want to emit warnings in such cases, so a "reasonable" compromise is to stay silent if there are many possible funs and at least one of them can succeed. Bug reported by Dan Gudmundsson, test shrunk down by Magnus Lång.
2016-06-08Dialyzer: Fix a bug that caused Dialyzer to go into an infinite loop.Hans Bolinder
Dialyzer failed to remove all loops among constraints.
