2010-02-16OTP-8449 Documentation improvements.Rickard Green
The most important "readme" files now use Markdown notation. HTML versions of these files are now also automatically generated and included in the HTML documentation. - Building and Installing Erlang/OTP - $ERL_TOP/INSTALL.md (previously known as $ERL_TOP/README). - Cross Compiling Erlang/OTP - $ERL_TOP/INSTALL-CROSS.md. - How to Build Erlang/OTP on Windows - $ERL_TOP/INSTALL-WIN32.md (previously known as $ERL_TOP/README.win32).
2010-02-15OTP-8323 Cross compilation improvements and other build systemRickard Green
improvements. Most notable: Lots of cross compilation improvements. The old cross compilation support was more or less non-existing as well as broken. Please, note that the cross compilation support should still be considered as experimental. Also note that old cross compilation configurations cannot be used without modifications. For more information on cross compiling Erlang/OTP see the $ERL_TOP/INSTALL-CROSS.md file. Support for staged install using <url href="http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/DESTDIR.html">D ESTDIR</url>. The old broken INSTALL_PREFIX has also been fixed. For more information see the $ERL_TOP/INSTALL.md file. Documentation of the release target of the top Makefile. For more information see the $ERL_TOP/INSTALL.md file. make install now by default creates relative symbolic links instead of absolute ones. For more information see the $ERL_TOP/INSTALL.md file. $ERL_TOP/configure --help=recursive now works and prints help for all applications with configure scripts. Doing make install, or make release directly after make all no longer triggers miscellaneous rebuilds. Existing bootstrap system is now used when doing make install, or make release without a preceding make all. The crypto and ssl applications use the same runtime library path when dynamically linking against libssl.so and libcrypto.so. The runtime library search path has also been extended. The configure scripts of erl_interface and odbc now search for thread libraries and thread library quirks the same way as erts do. The configure script of the odbc application now also looks for odbc libraries in lib64 and lib/64 directories when building on a 64-bit system. The config.h.in file in the erl_interface application is now automatically generated in instead of statically updated which reduces the risk of configure tests without any effect. (Thanks to Henrik Riomar for suggestions and testing) (Thanks to Winston Smith for the AVR32-Linux cross configuration and testing)
2010-02-15OTP-8335 NIF improvements:Sverker Eriksson
Driver API for multi-threading made available for NIFs. Support for mempory managed (garbage collected) resource objects. A way to pass "pointers" to native data structures between C and Erlang in a safe way. Various new functions, like enif_inspect_iolist_as_binary, enif_make_sub_binary, enif_get_string, enif_get_atom, enif_make_tuple_from_array, enif_make_list_from_array, enif_make_existing_atom.

With the {ssl_imp,new} option enabled, {packet,PacketType} only works when receiving. When sending, {packet,0} is always used.
2010-02-12unbreak event tracer's app.srcMikael Pettersson
lib/et/src/et.app.src lists a module (et_contents_viewer) for which there is no source module, so it doesn't get built or installed. This breaks tools like HiPE's big test suite that parse installed .app files and expect to find a .beam file for every listed module. Fixed by deleting the offending line. I also noticed a duplicated line for the et_viewer module, and deleted that too.

2010-02-11OTP-8343 The documentation is now possible to build in an open sourceLars G Thorsen
environment after a number of bugs are fixed and some features are added in the documentation build process. - The arity calculation is updated. - The module prefix used in the function names for bif's are removed in the generated links so the links will look like "http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/erlang.html#append_element-2" instead of "http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/erlang.html#erlang:append_element- 2". - Enhanced the menu positioning in the html documentation when a new page is loaded. - A number of corrections in the generation of man pages (thanks to Sergei Golovan) - The legal notice is taken from the xml book file so OTP's build process can be used for non OTP applications.
2010-02-11Fix CVE-2008-2371 (outer level option with alternatives caused crash).Michael Santos
The patch is from: http://vcs.pcre.org/viewvc?revision=360&view=revision Test case: re:compile(<<"(?i)[\xc3\xa9\xc3\xbd]|[\xc3\xa9\xc3\xbdA]">>, [unicode]). An option change at the start of a pattern that had top-level alternatives could cause overwriting and/or a crash. This potential security problem was recorded as CVE-2008-2371.

2010-02-10Add count_children/1 to supervisor.erl to determine the number ofJay Nelson
children being managed without the memory impact of which_children/1 The function which_children/1 returns a list of the child processes currently being supervised, but it has the penalty of creating a new list thereby consuming more memory. In low memory situations it is often desirable to know which supervisor may have generated many processes, but the act of discovering the culprit should not cause the node to crash (or worse a different node if the kernel kills one randomly). The new function count_children/1 can give an indication of which supervisor is taxing resources the most without adding to the burden. Rather than creating a new list, it walks the supervisor's internal children structure using an accumulator function so that any used memory can be incrementally collected yet the resulting count can still be obtained. The return result of count_children/1 is a property list of counts containing: - {specs, Total_Num_Child_Specs} - {active, Num_Active_Child_Processes_Of_Supervisor_Or_Worker_Type} - {supervisors, Num_Supervisor_Type_Children_Including_Dead_Processes} - {workers, Num_Worker_Type_Children_Including_Dead_Processes} This patch was made in response to mailing list discussions of the problem diagnosing heavily taxed production systems. I cannot find the original request, but http://www.erlang.org/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi/4/35060 is my original post of the patch.

2010-02-10Merge branch 'egil/lcnt' into ccase/r13b04_devErlang/OTP
* egil/lcnt: Add test suite for lcnt in tools Add lcnt:rt_opt/1 bindings to erts_debug Add runtime option to enable/disable lcnt stats Add auto width on string output Add lcnt documentation Add lock profiling tool OTP-8424 Add lock profiling tool. The Lock profiling tool, lcnt, can make use of the internal lock statistics when the runtime system is built with this feature enabled. This provides a mechanism to examine potential lock bottlenecks within the runtime itself. - Add erts_debug:lock_counters({copy_save, bool()}). This option enables or disables statistics saving for destroyed processes and ets-tables. Enabling this might consume a lot of memory. - Add id-numbering for lock classes which is otherwise undefined.

of the script This patch will ensure the Install.src script to exit with the exit code 0 when the execution finished at the end of the script. Originally from FreeBSD port patch.
2010-02-10Fix the shell operator bug of "==" to "=" in erts/configure.inKenji Rikitake
In UNIX test command, "==" is incorrect for string comparison; "=" is the right operator. Originally pointed out by Giacomo Olgeni in the following article: http://www.erlang.org/pipermail/erlang-patches/2008-November/000334.html and available as a FreeBSD port patch. Accordingly fixed in erts/configure.in
