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/xcomp/README 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/README file.
Documentation of the release target of the top Makefile. For more
information see the $ERL_TOP/README file.
make install now by default creates relative symbolic links
instead of absolute ones. For more information see the
$ERL_TOP/README 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.

Mattsson!
For the time being it is still possible to use the old GS based
version of the tool, but it is deprecated. The wxWidgets based
version is started by default.
A new tutorial has been added to the documentation. It is based
on Jayson Vantuyl's article
http://souja.net/2009/04/making-sense-of-erlangs-event-tracer.htm
l.
The functions et:trace_me/4 and et:trace_me/5 has been introduced
in order to replace the deprecated functions et:report_event/4
and et:report_event/5. Hopefully the new names makes it a little
more obvious what the intended usage of the functions are.
A print function has been added to the GUI, in order to enable
printing of sequence charts.
More functionality for hiding unwanted events has been added to
the GUI.
The max_events, hide_unknown and display_mode configuration
parameters to et_viewer is not used any more. Now the event cache
in the Viewer only contains those events that actually are
displayed in the GUI.
Some minor bugs has been fixed. Such as a cleaning up trace
patterns at termination and displaying events with detail level
100.

* is/mnesia-send-compressed:
Add option to compress data when copying tables between Mnesia nodes
OTP-8406 Igor Ribeiro Sucupira added the option to compress data when
copying tables between Mnesia nodes.

* jb/atom-table-size:
Add the +t emulator option to change the maximum number of atoms
OTP-8405 There is a new +t emulator option for changing the maximum number
of atoms. (Thanks to Julien Barbot.)

It is now possible to increase or decrease the maximum number of atoms
the VM can handle. The default value is 1048576 (1024*1024).

Optionally using data compression for copying Mnesia tables allows
the system to be tuned to eliminate network bottlenecks from
deployments where enough CPU is available to use zlib.
With this patch, running erl -mnesia send_compressed <level>
will enable compression for sending tables between nodes. The
compression level can be any integer in [0, 9], with 0 (the
default) meaning no compression (exactly the previous behaviour)
and 9 being the highest compression level.
To set any non-zero compression level at the sender, both nodes
must have the updated Mnesia modules (the receiver will work
according to the sender's configuration).

New section added on Macros Overloading
|
|
Now, when we have only the constant definition of a macro (without
arguments), we always use it. In all other cases, we try to find the
exact matching definition. We throw an error if we don't find it.
|
|
This feature simplifies the definition of macros by avoiding to have a
different name for each version (with different arities) of the same
macros. New rules:
- can have multiple definitions of the same macro with different arities
- cannot overload macro with the same arity
- the overloading of predefined macros (?MODULE, ?LINE, ...) is forbidden
- the directive '-undef' removes all definitions of a macro
|
|
The dict St#epp.uses that helps to find circular macros was not correctly
updated.

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.

* bg/hipe-fixes:
compiler: make ignore_native_errors also handle internal hipe errors
re tests: disable native-code compilation for huge modules
Teach the compiler the no_native option
|
|
|
|
|
|
* bg/cleanup-tests:
file_SUITE: eliminate a warning for an unused variable
kernel tests: modernize guard tests
unicode_SUITE: replace deprecated concat_binary/1 with list_to_binary/1
stdlib tests: modernize guard tests
Test suites: fix creation of Emakefiles
|
|
We must also catch exits, not only errors, since the hipe
compilers does an exit/1 if an internal error is found.
|
|
Two generated modules contains too big functions for the
native-code compiler to handle (even the BEAM compiler
struggles when compiling them).
|
|
Implement the 'no_native' option to disable native-code
compilation. If given in a module like this:
-compile(no_native).
it will override a 'native' option given on the command
line.

* ta/ensure_dir_eexist:
filelib_SUITE: strenghten tests of filelib:ensure_dir/1
Don't return a false {error,eexist} in filelib:ensure_dir/1
OTP-8389 Because of a race condition, using filelib:ensure_dir/1 from
multiple processes to create the same path or parts of the same
directory structure, filelib:ensure_dir/1 could return a
meaningless {error,eexist}. That race condition has been
eliminated, and {error,eexist} will now be returned only if there
exists a regular file, device file, or some other non-directory
file with the same name. (Thanks to Tuncer Ayaz.)

* mp/hipe-smp-fixes:
work around hipe_mfa_info_table lock omission
fix hipe loader SMP non-atomicity error
OTP-8397 The loading of native code was not properly atomic in the SMP
emulator, which could cause crashes. Also a per-MFA information
table for the native code has now been protected with a lock
since it turns that it could be accessed concurrently in the SMP
emulator. (Thanks to Mikael Pettersson.)

Don't change any guard tests in the id_transform_SUITE
module, because it intentionally use the old guard tests
to test that id_transform can handle them.
|
|
The Emakefiles in some test suite directories are only appended
to, never created from scratch, which can cause problems
especially when swithching branches in a git repository.

HiPE maintains per-MFA information such as native code entry
point in a table. This table was thought to be read-only at
runtime, except when the loader populates it, so it employed
no locking. That turned out to be incorrect: if there is an
apply of a previously unseen MFA, a native code stub for that
MFA is created and recorded in the table, causing it to grow.
Work around this for now by slapping a mutex around accesses
to that table.

Loading native code is a multi-step operation that needs to be
atomic, but the HiPE loader failed to ensure that.
This caused corruption of runtime system structure in some cases.
Fix by blocking multi_scheduling around main loader entry points.

* rb/stdlib_re_unicode_fixes:
Fix lost unicode option in re:compile()
Refactor out repeated block in re module
Fix re:replace/4 to handle unicode charlist Replacement argument
Fix re:replace/4 to handle unicode charlist RE argument
Fix re:replace/4 to handle binary unicode output when nothing replaced
OTP-8394 A number of bugs concerning re and unicode are corrected:
- re:compile no longer loses unicode option, which also fixes bug
in re:split.
- re:replace now handles unicode charlist replacement argument
- re:replace now handles unicode RE charlist argument correctly
- re:replace now handles binary unicode output correctly when
nothing is replaced.
Most code, testcases and error isolation done by Rory Byrne.
