2010-08-30fix crash in hipe_icode_exceptionsMikael Pettersson
This fixes a problem in the HiPE compiler's BEAM-to-Icode pass where it can crash due to the BEAM compiler's merging of identical basic blocks with different exception handling contexts. This bug has been latent, but is now exposed by what appears to be more aggressive optimizations in BEAM. The added comment explains things in more detail.
2010-05-20Remove stray support for the put_literal/2 instructionBjörn Gustavsson
put_literal/2 was an experimental instruction added in R11 to support literals, but before the R12 release support for literals was implemented for all instruction, making the put_literal/2 instruction redundant. Although the beam_disasm module supports dissambley of instructions in older releases, there is no reason to have it support experimental instructions.
2010-05-20Remove stray support for the bs_bits_to_bytes2/2 instructionBjörn Gustavsson
bs_bits_to_bytes2/2 was an experimental instruction added in R11, but was removed in R12. Although the beam_disasm and beam_validator modules do support instructions in older releases, there is no reason to have them support experimental instructions.

2010-05-12Merge branch 'bg/opt-receive' into devErlang/OTP
* bg/opt-receive: Test that gen_server:call/2,3 are fast even with a huge message queue erts: Add tests for the receive optimization Update primary bootstrap erts: Implement recv_mark/1 and recv_set/1 for real compiler tests: Cover the error handling code in beam_receive compiler test: Test optimization of receive statements Optimize selective receives in the presence of a large message queue Introduce the new recv_mark/1 and recv_mark/1 instructions Compile tests that communicate with R12 nodes with the r12 option Move p_run/2 to test_lib gen: Inline wait_resp_mon/2 to help the compiler optimize OTP-8623 bg/opt-receive reveive statements that can only read out a newly created reference are now specially optimized so that it will execute in constant time regardless of the number of messages in the receive queue for the process. That optimization will benefit calls to gen_server:call(). (See gen:do_call/4 for an example of a receive statement that will be optimized.)

2010-05-11Introduce the new recv_mark/1 and recv_mark/1 instructionsBjörn Gustavsson
Make the recv_mark/1 and recv_mark/1 instructions known to the compiler and run-time system. For the moment, make the loader ignore any occurrences of those instructions in BEAM files. Also update hipe_beam_to_icode to ignore those instructions.
2010-01-26OTP-8343 The documentation is now possible to build in an open sourceLars G Thorsen
environment after a number of bugs are fixed and some features are added in the documentation build process. - The arity calculation is updated. - The module prefix used in the function names for bif's are removed in the generated links so the links will look like http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/erlang.html#append_element-2 instead of http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/erlang.html#erlang:append_element-2 - Enhanced the menu positioning in the html documentation when a new page is loaded. - A number of corrections in the generation of man pages (thanks to Sergei Golovan) - Moved some man pages to more apropriate sections, pages in section 4 moved to 5 and pages in 6 moved to 7. - The legal notice is taken from the xml book file so OTP's build process can be used for non OTP applications.
