This document describes the changes made to the Compiler application.

-
Compiler 7.4 - -
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions - - -

record_info/2 is a pseudo-function that - requires literal arguments known at compile time. - Therefore, the following usage is illegal: fun - record/info/2. The compiler would crash when during - compilation of that kind of code. Corrected to issue a - compilation error.

Improvements and New Features - - -

- The compiler has been rewritten to internally use an - intermediate representation based on Static Single - Assignment (SSA). The new intermediate representation - makes more optimizations possible.

-

- Most noticeable is that the binary matching optimizations - are now applicable in many more circumstances than - before.

-

- Another noticeable change is that type optimizations are - now applied across local function calls, and will remove - a lot more redundant type tests than before.

- -

Funs are no longer created when they are only used - locally, greatly improving the performance of named funs - and "fun-wrapped" macros.

-
- -

All compiler options that can be given in the source - file can now also be given in the option list or from the - command line for erlc.

-

Specifically, the option - {nowarn_deprecated_function,MFAs} was only - recognized when given in the file with the attribute - -compile(). The option - {nowarn_unused_function,FAs} was incorrectly - documented to only work in a file, but it also worked - when given in the option list.

-
- -

Internal documentation has now been added to the - Erts and Compiler applications.

-

The internal documents for Erts describe - miscellaneous interesting implementation details. Those - details can change at any time.

-

The internal documentation for Compiler - documents the API for the Core Erlang modules. While we - will not change those APIs without good reason, we don't - give the same guarantees about backward compatibility as - for the rest of the APIs in OTP.

-
- -

There are new compiler options nowarn_removed - and {nowarn_removed,Items} to suppress warnings - for functions and modules that have been removed from - OTP.
