2014-03-28Correct description of the REAL typeBjörn Gustavsson
REAL is implemented, sort of. But real numbers must be given in a string.
2014-03-28Replace "extend-ability" with "extensibility"Björn Gustavsson
While "extendability" (without the hyphen) is an English word, "extensibility" is the established term used when talking about the extensibility of ASN.1 types.
2014-03-28Remove the section about encoding rulesBjörn Gustavsson
The section about encoding rules serves no useful purpose. Most users already know which encoding rule to use for their specifications. The few users that have their own specification and need to decide on which encoding rule to use will need much more information.
2014-03-28Bring information about tags up to dateBjörn Gustavsson
Since 1994 when the AUTOMATIC TAGS was introduced, ASN.1 users no long need to worry about tagging, and the following sentence no longer makes any sense: It is essential for all users of ASN.1 to understand all the details about tags. Therefore, remove the entire existing section of tags, and replace it with a shorter section explaining why we no longer need to know about tags. Remove all tags from the examples.
2014-03-28Don't waste words describing the SET typeBjörn Gustavsson
Since the SET type is used exactly the same way as the SEQUENCE type in Erlang, we can simply say so and note that decoding will be less efficient for the BER and DER encoding rules.
2014-03-28Correct and modernize the examples for DEFAULTBjörn Gustavsson
It turns out that the current BER back-end can recognize complex DEFAULT values, so I had to commit up with a more elaborate example to show a difference between the BER and DER back-ends.
2014-03-28Correct the UTF8String description and exampleBjörn Gustavsson
2014-03-28Correct the PrimStrings exampleBjörn Gustavsson
The decode functions now return a binary, not an iolist, so we must both change the output and remove the call to list_to_binary when decoding.
2014-03-28Remove all uses of the deprecated asn1{ct,rt}:{en,de}code/2 functionsBjörn Gustavsson
2014-03-28Correct and modernize the "A First Example" sectionBjörn Gustavsson
Replace "IMPLICIT TAGS" with "AUTOMATIC TAGS" since AUTOMATIC TAGS is recommended for all new ASN.1 specifications.
2014-03-28Shorten the Introduction section, keeping only the essential detailsBjörn Gustavsson
We can assume that anyone that reads the documentation for the Asn1 documentation already knows about ASN.1, so we don't need three paragraphs of introductory. Keep one short paragraph explaining what ASN.1 is in case a reader unfamiliar with ASN.1 stumbles upon the manual. While we are at it, reformat the paragraphs in Introduction to shorter lines that don't wrap.

* hb/dialyzer/guard_constr/OTP-11798: dialyzer: generalize guard constraints in a new way
2014-03-21dialyzer: generalize guard constraints in a new wayHans Bolinder
Guard constraints used to be limited to a certain depth, which handled mutually depending constraints safely, but also sometimes introduced unnecessary generalizations. This patch puts no explicit limit upon guard constraints (other than those that already exist in erl_types), but breaks cycles by replacing variables with the any() type. In some cases the old method resulted in more warnings, but since the limit was quite arbitrary and mutually depending guard constraints are (very) rare, the new method should been seen as an improvement since it handles cases that used to make Dialyzer loop or miss warnings.

2014-03-20Introduce runtime_dependencies in .app filesRickard Green
Most dependencies introduced are exactly the dependencies to other applications found by xref. That is, there might be real dependencies missing. There might also be pure debug dependencies listed that probably should be removed. Each application has to be manually inspected in order to ensure that all real dependencies are listed. All dependencies introduced are to application versions used in OTP 17.0. This since the previously used version scheme wasn't designed for this, and in order to minimize the work of introducing the dependencies.

2014-03-20Return warnings for unknown types and functions in Erlang ModeHans Bolinder
The warnings about unknown types and functions are now returned when calling Dialyzer from Erlang, in particular from an escript. When calling Dialyzer from the command line the warnings about unknown types and functions are output last as before; and when using the GUI the warnings are displayed in a pop-up window, as before.

2014-03-20Teach the call_time trace to notice when the trace dies (non-SMP system)Björn Gustavsson
The call_time trace is a special kind of tracing that requires a tracer process just like ordinary call trace, but it never actually sends anything to the tracer. It merely use the existence of a trace process (and call trace flags) as an indication that call_time tracing is active for the process. If the tracer dies in a non-SMP run-time system, processes with call_time tracing would not notice that the tracer had died. Furthermore, if the set_on_spawn flag was active, the dead tracer could be propagaged to newly spawned processes. Before accumulating trace information in a non-SMP system, always validate the tracer process. (In an SMP system, a reference to a dead tracer will be cleared away each time a process is scheduled.) While we could put all of the new code beam_bp.c, we have chosen to make a function call from beam_bp.c to a function in erl_trace.c for clarity's sake and to ease further maintenance. In the future, we might want to handle tracing in more similar ways in the SMP and non-SMP system.
