[erlang-patches] Optimize handling of local fun variables in v3_kernel

[Anthony Ramine]

Hello Kostis,

To reproduce the crash, compile the following module with +native with my rm-reverse-eta-conversion branch:

-module(t).
-export([t1/0,t2/0]).

t1() -> fun identity/1.
t2() -> fun identity/2.

identity(X) -> X.

Loading this module compiled with HiPE on my branch will make HiPE crash in patch_funentries. Commenting the t2/0 function out makes the crash disappear. That shows that the cause of the crash is multiple references to the same local function.

Regards,

I can spend some time on this if I feel like hacking again one of the nights to come, but only if you minimize this and send me a self-contained module that shows the problem when you generate BEAM code with the changed compiler, but not with the vanilla.
