+ <p>
+ fix supervisors restarting temporary children</p>
+ <p>
+ In the current implementation of supervisors, temporary
+ children should never be restarted. However, when a
+ temporary child is restarted as part of a one_for_all or
+ rest_for_one strategy where the failing process is not
+ the temporary child, the supervisor still tries to
+ restart it.</p>
+ <p>
+ Because the supervisor doesn't keep some of the MFA
+ information of temporary children, this causes the
+ supervisor to hit its restart limit and crash.</p>
+ <p>
+ This patch fixes the behaviour by inserting a clause in
+ terminate_children/2-3 (private function) that will omit
+ temporary children when building a list of killed
+ processes, to avoid having the supervisor trying to
+ restart them again.</p>
+ <p>
+ Only supervisors in need of restarting children used the
+ list, so the change should be of no impact for the
+ functions that called terminate_children/2-3 only to kill
+ all children.</p>
+ <p>
+ The documentation has been modified to make this
+ behaviour more explicit. (Thanks to Fred Hebert)</p>

<p>Additionally, the codepoint 16#FEFF is used for byte order marks (BOM's) and use of that character is not encouraged in other contexts than that. It actually is valid though, as the character "ZWNBS" (Zero Width Non Breaking Space). BOM's are used to identify encodings and byte order for programs where such parameters are not known in advance. Byte order marks are more seldom used than one could expect, put their use is becoming more widely spread as they provide the means for programs to make educated guesses about the Unicode format of a certain file.</p>
