Functions

Context *context_new(GlobalContext *glb)

Creates a new context.

Allocates a new Context struct and initialize it. The newly created context is also inserted into the processes table, however it is not scheduled, allowing for further initialization.

Parameters:

• glb – The global context of this virtual machine instance.

Returns:

created context.

void context_destroy(Context *c)

Destroys a context.

Frees context resources and memory and removes it from the processes table. This should be called from the scheduler only. To actually delete a context that was created with context_new, use scheduler_terminate.

Parameters:

• c – the context that will be destroyed.

static inline void context_ensure_fpregs(Context *c)

Ensure we have FP registers, allocating them if necessary.

Parameters:

• c – context fo allocate FP registers for

int context_execute_loop(Context *ctx, Module *mod, const char *function_name, int arity)

Starts executing a function.

Start executing bytecode for the specified function, this function will block until it terminates. The outcome is saved to x[0] register.

Parameters:

• ctx – the context that will be used to run the specified functions, x registers must be set to function arguments.

• mod – the module name C string.

• function_name – the function name C string.

• arity – the function arity (number of arguments that are required).

Returns:

1 if an error occurred, otherwise 0 is always returned.

static inline int context_is_port_driver(const Context *ctx)

Returns 1 if the context is a port driver.

Checks if the given context has a native_handler or not.

Parameters:

• ctx – a valid context

Returns:

1 if ctx is a port driver, otherwise 0 is returned.

static inline void context_clean_registers(Context *ctx, int live)

Cleans up unused registers.

Sets to NIL unused registers, x[0] - x[live - 1] will not be overwritten.

Parameters:

• ctx – a valid context

• live – number of used registers

static inline term *context_stack_base(const Context *ctx)

Returns a context’s stack base.

Used for stack traces

Parameters:

• ctx – a valid context.

Returns:

the stack base

static inline size_t context_stack_size(const Context *ctx)

Returns a context’s stack size.

Return the number of terms currently on the stack. Used for stack traces.

Parameters:

• ctx – a valid context.

Returns:

stack size in terms

static inline size_t context_avail_free_memory(const Context *ctx)

Returns available free memory in term units.

Returns the number of terms that can fit either on the heap.

Parameters:

• ctx – a valid context.

Returns:

available free memory that is avail_size_in_bytes / sizeof(term).

static inline bool context_is_term_equal_to_atom_string(Context *ctx, term atom_a, AtomString atom_string_b)

Compares a term with an AtomString.

Checks if the given term and the given AtomString refers to the same atom. This function is just a shortcut that uses the corresponding funtion from globalcontext.

Parameters:

• ctx – the current Context.

• atom_a – any term of any type, when it is not an atom false is always returned.

• atom_string_b – an atom string, which is the atom length followed by atom characters.

Returns:

true if they both refer to the same atom, otherwise false.

size_t context_message_queue_len(Context *ctx)

Returns number of messages in the process’s mailbox.

Parameters:

• ctx – a valid context.

Returns:

the number of messages in the process’s mailbox

size_t context_size(Context *ctx)

Returns total amount of size (in byes) occupied by the process.

Parameters:

• ctx – a valid context.

Returns:

total amount of size (in byes) occupied by the process

void context_update_flags(Context *ctx, int mask, int value)

Set or clear a flag on another context.

atomically update flags <- (flags & mask) | value

Parameters:

• ctx – the context to set/clear flag on.

• mask – the mask to apply on flags

• value – the value to set

static inline int context_get_flags(Context *ctx, int mask)

Get flags on a given context.

Parameters:

• ctx – the context to get flags on.

• mask – the mask to apply on flags

void context_process_kill_signal(Context *ctx, struct TermSignal *signal)

Process a kill signal, setting the exit reason and changing the killed flag.

Parameters:

• ctx – the context being executed

• signal – the kill message

void context_process_process_info_request_signal(Context *ctx, struct BuiltInAtomRequestSignal *signal)

Process a process info request signal.

Parameters:

• ctx – the context being executed

• signal – the kill message

bool context_process_signal_trap_answer(Context *ctx, struct TermSignal *signal)

Process a trap answer signal.

Parameters:

• ctx – the context being executed

• signal – the answer message

Returns:

true if successful, false in case of memory error

void context_process_flush_monitor_signal(Context *ctx, uint64_t ref_ticks, bool info)

Process a flush monitor signal.

Parameters:

• ctx – the context being executed

• ref_ticks – the monitor reference

• info – whether to return FALSE_ATOM if no message was flushed.

bool context_get_process_info(Context *ctx, term *out, term atom_key)

Get process information.

Parameters:

• ctx – the context being executed

• out – the answer term

• atom_key – the key representing the info to get

Returns:

true if successful, false in case of an error in which case *out is filled with an exception atom

int context_link(Context *ctx, term monitor_pid)

Half-link process to another process.

Caller must hold the global process lock. This creates one half of the link.

Parameters:

• ctx – context to link

• monitor_pid – process to link ctx to

Returns:

0 on success

uint64_t context_monitor(Context *ctx, term monitor_pid)

Create a monitor on a process.

Caller must hold the global process lock.

Parameters:

• ctx – context to monitor

• monitor_pid – monitoring process

Returns:

the ref ticks

struct ResourceMonitor *context_resource_monitor(Context *ctx, void *resource)

Create a resource monitor on a process.

Caller must hold the global process lock. The returned resource monitor is not added to the monitors list on the resource type.

Parameters:

• ctx – context to monitor

• resource – resource object

Returns:

the resource monitor

void context_unlink(Context *ctx, term monitor_pid)

Remove a half-link from a process.

Caller must hold the global process lock. This removes one half of the link.

Parameters:
