2016-08-31Remove old purge strategyRickard Green
2016-08-29Fix purge of codeRickard Green
Ensure that we cannot get any dangling pointers into code that has been purged. This is done by a two phase purge. At first phase all fun entries pointing into the code to purge are marked for purge. All processes trying to call these funs will be suspended and by this we avoid getting new direct references into the code. When all processes has been checked, these processes are resumed. The new purge strategy now also completely ignore the existence of indirect references to the code (funs). If such exist, they will cause bad fun exceptions to the caller, but will not prevent a soft purge or cause a kill of a process having such live references during a hard purge. This since it is impossible to give any guarantees that no processes in the system have such indirect references. Even when the system is completely clean from such references, new ones can appear via distribution and/or disk.

2016-03-17configure: Remove obsolete --enable-darwin-* optionsBjörn Gustavsson
Remove the options: --enable-darwin-universal --enable-darwin-64bit The --enable-darwin-universal option turns on universal binaries (Intel/PPC). It does not work on modern releases of OS X, and OTP 19 will most not likely build on an OS X release that still supports universal builds. The --enable-darwin-64bit option is not needed, because 64-bit builds are default on modern OS X releases. There is also the generic --enable-m64-build option.

I found that I needed to take the two steps I added to INSTALL.md for this PR, or else fop execution when doing a "make docs" would fail with either a Java ClassNotFoundException or command "fop" not found: * Adding the FOP install directory to $FOP_HOME * Adding the fop script to $PATH

2015-08-21Improve choice of clock sources at build timeRickard Green
- Documented the configure switch --with-clock-resolution=<RES> - Changed default clock source for OS system time on Darwin to gettimeofday(). In order to use clock_get_time(CALENDER_CLOCK, ...) on Darwin, the user has to pass --with-clock-resolution=high when configuring the build.
2015-08-02Fix osx install wxWidgets instructionsEric Appelt
wxWidgets does not have a branch named `WX_3_0_branch`, but has `WX_3_0_BRANCH` Trying to clone with `--branch` set to the lowercase name fails. Fix branch name to `WX_3_0_BRANCH`.

The OSE port is no longer supported and this commit removed it and any changes related to it. The things that were general improvements have been left in the code.

2015-01-14Improve ethread atomics based on GCC builtinsRickard Green
* Use of __atomic builtins when available. * Improved configure test that checks for missing memory barrier in __sync_synchronize(). The old approach was to verify known working gcc versions and check gcc version at compile time. Besides not being very safe, the old approach often unnecessarily caused usage of the very expensive workaround. * Introduced (no overhead) workaround for missing clobber in __sync_synchronize() when using buggy LLVM implementation of __sync_synchronize(). * Implement native memory barriers for ARM processors supporting the DMB instruction. * Use of volatile store on Alpha as atomic set operation if no __atomic_store_n() is available (already used on x86/x86_64 Sparc V9, PowerPC, and MIPS). Fallback used when not using volatile store is typically very expensive. * Use volatile load on Alpha and ARM as atomic read operation if no __atomic_load_n() is available (already used on x86/x86_64 Sparc V9, PowerPC, and MIPS). Fallback when not using volatile load is typically very expensive.
