This module has been marked experimental for more than 15 years,
and has largely been superseded by the pg2 module from the kernel
application. The original pg also has no tests and has not been
updated in the last 15 years other than small maintenance edits
(like adding specs or replacing pid/1 by is_pid/1). It is pretty
unlikely that anyone uses it today and its presence is simply
confusing as people should be using pg2 anyway.

* bjorn/asn1/deprecations/OTP-11731:
Remove or de-emphasize references to the deprecated asn1rt module
Deprecate asn1 functions
|
|
The types array(), dict(), digraph(), gb_set(), gb_tree(), queue(),
set(), and tid() have been deprecated. They will be removed in OTP 18.0.
Instead the types array:array(), dict:dict(), digraph:graph(),
gb_set:set(), gb_tree:tree(), queue:queue(), sets:set(), and ets:tid()
can be used. (Note: it has always been necessary to use ets:tid().)
It is allowed in OTP 17.0 to locally re-define the types array(), dict(),
and so on.
New types array:array/1, dict:dict/2, gb_sets:set/1, gb_trees:tree/2,
queue:queue/1, and sets:set/1 have been added.
|
|
Those asn1 functions are no longer needed because they all have
better alternatives.

* rickard/garbage_collect/OTP-11388:
Parallel check_process_code when code_server purge a module
Functionality for disabling garbage collection

When the code_server is about to purge a module it will now issue
asynchronous check_process_code requests to all processes at once
instead of one at a time. These check_process_code operation can
execute in parallel.
|

A process requesting a system task to be executed in the context of
another process will be notified by a message when the task has
executed. This message will be on the form:
{RequestType, RequestId, Pid, Result}.
A process requesting a system task to be executed can set priority
on the system task. The requester typically set the same priority
on the task as its own process priority, and by this avoiding
priority inversion. A request for execution of a system task is
made by calling the statically linked in NIF
erts_internal:request_system_task(Pid, Prio, Request). This is an
undocumented ERTS internal function that should remain so. It
should *only* be called from BIF implementations.
Currently defined system tasks are:
* garbage_collect
* check_process_code
Further system tasks can and will be implemented in the future.
The erlang:garbage_collect/[1,2] and erlang:check_process_code/[2,3]
BIFs are now implemented using system tasks. Both the
'garbage_collect' and the 'check_process_code' operations perform
or may perform garbage_collections. By doing these via the
system task functionality all garbage collect operations in the
system will be performed solely in the context of the process
being garbage collected. This makes it possible to later implement
functionality for disabling garbage collection of a process over
context switches.
Newly introduced BIFs:
* erlang:garbage_collect/2 - The new second argument is an option
list. Introduced option:
* {async, RequestId} - making it possible for users to issue
asynchronous garbage collect requests.
* erlang:check_process_code/3 - The new third argument is an
option list. Introduced options:
* {async, RequestId} - making it possible for users to issue
asynchronous check process code requests.
* {allow_gc, boolean()} - making it possible to issue requests
that aren't allowed to garbage collect (operation will abort
if gc should be needed).
These options have been introduced as a preparation for
parallelization of check_process_code operations when the
code_server is about to purge a module.

* mh/dict_orddict_is_empty/OTP-11353:
Update primary bootstrap
Add dict:is_empty/1 and orddict:is_empty/1

The 'erlc' program passes options to the 'erl' program using
the '-s' option. The '-s' option causes all options to be converted
to atoms, which implies that UTF-8 file names may not be given on
the command line.
We could solve just the UTF-8 problem by using '-run' and change
the erl_compile module to expect strings instead of atoms, but since
that is an incompatible change, we should take the opportunity to
make more incompatible changes while we are at it.
Specifically, when 'erlc' was first written, there was no way to pass
command line arguments starting with '-' to Erlang, so 'erlc' did all
parsing of arguments and translated options to atoms starting with a
'@' character (for example, -I was translated to @i). Since then,
the '-extra' option has been introduced which allows us to pass
anything to Erlang at the end of the command line.
Therefore, while at it, do the minimum of necessary command line
parsing in the 'erlc' program (e.g. the '-smp' option), passing the
command line essentially unchanged to 'erl' using the '-extra' option,
and rewrite the option parsing in Erlang.
