2018-08-28dialyzer: Improve handling of complex guardsHans Bolinder
See also https://bugs.erlang.org/browse/ERL-680. The right associative short circuit expressions 'andalso' and 'orelse' are expanded by the Compiler (see v3_core) into 'case' expressions. If parentheses are used to enforce left associativeness, variables are introduced, and the time needed by Dialyzer increases exponentially. Rather than trying to fix Dialyzer itself, v3_core now rewrites repeated use of 'andalso' ('orelse') into right associative expressions before creating the 'case' expressions.

2018-06-07stdlib: Move eval_str/1 from mod_esi to erl_evalHans Bolinder
See also https://bugs.erlang.org/browse/ERL-634. The utility program `erl_call' in erl_interface used to call lib:eval_str/1, which is no longer present in Erlang/OTP 21.0. The lib module was eliminated in OTP-15072, see also https://github.com/erlang/otp/pull/1786.
2018-05-25dialyzer: Refine the test for overspecified functionsHans Bolinder
The -Woverspecs (-Wspecdiffs) option generates warnings in a few more cases. The refinement is analogous to the test that -Wunderspecs already does: it checks if the contract has nothing in common with some element (see erl_types:t_elements/1) of the success typing.

Warnings are not generated for funs residing in dead code. In particular, warnings like "The created fun has no local return" are no longer generated for funs declared in clauses or functions that cannot be run.

2018-03-24Avoid overflowing the atom tableBjörn Gustavsson
Use integer variable names instead of atoms in v3_core, sys_core_fold, and v3_kernel to avoid overflowing the atom table. It is a deliberate design decision to calculate the first free integer variable name (in sys_core_fold and v3_kernel) instead of somehow passing it from one pass to another. I don't want that kind of dependency between compiler passes. Also note that the next free variable name is not easily available after running the inliner.

2018-03-10make erlang:process_info/1 not retrieve messagesMikael Pettersson
process_info/1 retrieves a number of properties related to a process, including the list of messages in its mailbox. This is potentially unsafe if the target process has a large number of queued messages: - there is no a priori upper bound on the amount of memory being allocated to hold that list, and - the loop to retrieve the messages is uninterruptible, so the Erlang scheduler where this executes blocks for the duration We've seen process_info/1 bring down heavily loaded nodes on more than one occasion. At least once it appeared to have blocked the Erlang heart process from executing, causing the external heart to kill the VM. Consequently this removes 'messages' from the list of process_info tags to retrieve for process_info/1. Note that process_info/1 still retrieves 'message_queue_len', and process_info/2 can still retrieve 'messages' when asked to. A few places in the OTP libraries need minor adjustments, since they want 'message_queue_len' but compute it from the length of the list of messages.

dialyzer: Compute MD5s using the .beam file (OTP-14937)

* maint: dialyzer: Correct a parameterized opaque types bug
2018-02-21Compute MD5s in dialyzer using the .beam fileJosé Valim
The previous mechanism was based on the core file which meant that for every module in the PLT, we had to fetch its .beam file, retrieve Erlang AST, compile that down to core, serialize it into a binary and then get its MD5. In a project with stdlib, kernel, elixir and a small application in the PLT, relying only on the .beam sped up --check_plt from 10s to 0.8s.
2018-02-21dialyzer: Correct a parameterized opaque types bugHans Bolinder
See also https://bugs.erlang.org/browse/ERL-565. To avoid loops, erl_types:t_is_subtype checks for equality using unopaqued types, but in (at least) one case something is lost: This fix makes sure that when forwarding arguments in dataflow, types with different parameters but equal when unopaqued are considered different. For example, dict:dict(0, {}) and dict:dict(0, []) are equal when unopaqued (due to how dict(_, _) is declared in module dict), but should be considered different when forwarding args.

2017-11-30Add syntax in try/catch to retrieve the stacktrace directlyBjörn Gustavsson
This commit adds a new syntax for retrieving the stacktrace without calling erlang:get_stacktrace/0. That allow us to deprecate erlang:get_stacktrace/0 and ultimately remove it. The problem with erlang:get_stacktrace/0 is that it can keep huge terms in a process for an indefinite time after an exception. The stacktrace can be huge after a 'function_clause' exception or a failed call to a BIF or operator, because the arguments for the call will be included in the stacktrace. For example: 1> catch abs(lists:seq(1, 1000)). {'EXIT',{badarg,[{erlang,abs, [[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20|...]], []}, {erl_eval,do_apply,6,[{file,"erl_eval.erl"},{line,674}]}, {erl_eval,expr,5,[{file,"erl_eval.erl"},{line,431}]}, {shell,exprs,7,[{file,"shell.erl"},{line,687}]}, {shell,eval_exprs,7,[{file,"shell.erl"},{line,642}]}, {shell,eval_loop,3,[{file,"shell.erl"},{line,627}]}]}} 2> erlang:get_stacktrace(). [{erlang,abs, [[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22, 23,24|...]], []}, {erl_eval,do_apply,6,[{file,"erl_eval.erl"},{line,674}]}, {erl_eval,expr,5,[{file,"erl_eval.erl"},{line,431}]}, {shell,exprs,7,[{file,"shell.erl"},{line,687}]}, {shell,eval_exprs,7,[{file,"shell.erl"},{line,642}]}, {shell,eval_loop,3,[{file,"shell.erl"},{line,627}]}] 3> We can extend the syntax for clauses in try/catch to optionally bind the stacktrace to a variable. Here is an example using the current syntax: try Expr catch C:E -> Stk = erlang:get_stacktrace(), . . . In the new syntax, it would look like: try Expr catch C:E:Stk -> . . . Only a variable (not a pattern) is allowed in the stacktrace position, to discourage matching of the stacktrace. (Matching would also be expensive, because the raw format of the stacktrace would have to be converted to the cooked form before matching.) Note that: try Expr catch E -> . . . is a shorthand for: try Expr catch throw:E -> . . . If the stacktrace is to be retrieved for a throw, the 'throw:' prefix must be explicitly included: try Expr catch throw:E:Stk -> . . .

* maint: dialyzer: Extend the map implementation's handling of ?unit dialyzer: Use string:find() instead of string:str()
2017-11-22dialyzer: Extend the map implementation's handling of ?unitHans Bolinder
The Maps implementation handles ?unit in more cases. Exactly when t_is_none_or_unit() is to be called is not clear to me. The added cases are about a map type being ?unit, but the key or the value of an association can also be ?unit, but that is not always checked.
