This document describes the changes made to HiPE.

+ +
Hipe 3.7.4 + +
Improvements and New Features + + +

+ The documentation is now built with open source tools + (xsltproc and fop) that exists on most platforms. One + visible change is that the frames are removed.

+ +
Hipe 3.7.3 + +
Improvements and New Features + + +

+ Various small bugs (one involving the handling of large + binaries) were corrected and some additions to its + functionality and/or code cleanups were done.

+ +
Hipe 3.6.9 + +
Improvements and New Features + + +

The --disable-hipe option for the + configure will now completely disable the hipe + run-time in the emulator, as is the expected + behaviour.

+ Minor changes.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-7388

+ + +
+ +
+ +
Hipe 3.6.6 + +
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions + + +

A fix for an #include problem which caused the FP + exception test to fail unnecessarily on + debian/glibc-2.7/x86 systems.

+

Added SIGFPE loop detection to the FP exception test. + This prevents the test from looping indefinitely, which + could happen when the CPU is supported (so we can enable + FP exceptions on it) but the OS isn't (so we can't write + a proper SIGFPE handler). x86 on an unsupported OS is + known to have had this problem.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-7254

+ + +
+ + +
Improvements and New Features + + +

+ HiPE now also supports little-endian ARM processors.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-7255

+ + +
+ +
+ +
Hipe 3.6.5 + +
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions + + +

+ HIPE: Corrected the choice of interface to the send/3 and + setnode/3 BIFs for native-compiled code. Using the + incorrect interface could, in unusual circumstances, lead + to random runtime errors.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-7067

+ + +
+ + +
Improvements and New Features + + +

+ The HiPE compiler's SPARC backend has been rewritten, + improving its correctness and long-term maintainability.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-7133

+ + +
+ +

+ +
+ Hipe 3.6.1 + +
+ Improvements and New Features + + +

HiPE runtime system:

+

* added notes about supported systems to README

+

* support 32-bit x86 on FreeBSD

+

* autoenable HiPE on FreeBSD (32-bit x86) and Solaris + (64-bit x86)

+

* updated x86 runtime system to support glibc-2.5

+

* work around probable gcc-4.1.1 bug affecting the x86 + runtime system

+

HiPE compiler:

+

* improved performance of integer multiplications on + all platforms

+

* corrected a code optimisation error in R11B-2 that + broke some bsl/bsr operations on all platforms

+

* corrected a type error in the ARM backend which + could cause the compiler to crash

+

* corrected an error in the SPARC backend's naive + register allocator which could throw the compiler into an + infinite loop

+
+ +
+ Hipe 3.6.0 + +
+ Improvements and New Features + + +

Support for native code on Solaris 10/AMD64.

+

Support for native code on FreeBSD/AMD64.

+

Native code now handles external funs (). Native code can now also apply so-called + tuple-funs (). (Tuple funs are NOT + recommended for new code; they are deprecated and will be + removed in some future release.)

+

+ + +
+
+ +
+ Hipe 3.5.6 + +
+ Improvements and New Features + + +

Improved compilation of receives for the SMP runtime + system.

+

Improved code quality in HiPE compiler on ARM.

+

Fix bug in handling of re-raised exceptions in + try-catch.

+

(HiPE loader) When native code is incompatible with + the current runtime system, fall back to loading the BEAM + code.
