Add enif_raise_exception function to allow NIFs to raise error
exceptions holding any Erlang terms. This does not replace or
deprecate the enif_make_badarg function, though, because raising
badarg errors is so idiomatic in NIFs. Reimplement enif_make_badarg on
top of enif_raise_exception. Add new tests for enif_raise_exception
for both normal and dirty NIFs. Add documentation for
enif_raise_exception.

Sverker Eriksson came up with the following idea: to handle a future
ability for NIFs to raise more than just badarg exceptions, modify the
recently-added enif_has_pending_exception function to take a second
argument: a pointer to ERL_NIF_TERM. If this argument is a null
pointer, ignore it. Otherwise, if the first argument, an ErlNifEnv*,
has an associated exception, set the pointed-to ERL_NIF_TERM of the
second argument to the value of the exception term. Add new tests and
documentation for this modification.

Add a check to enif_make_double to see if its double argument is
infinity or NaN, returning a badarg exception if it is. Change the
erl_nif documentation to specify that enif_make_double returns a
badarg exception if its double argument is either infinity or NaN. Add
tests to nif_SUITE for this change.
Add checks to the enif_make* functions for atoms to prevent the
creation of atoms whose name lengths are greater than the allowed
maximum atom length. The enif_make_atom and enif_make_atom_len
functions now return a badarg exception if the input string is too
long. The enif_make_existing_atom and enif_make_existing_atom_len
functions return false if the input string is too long. Change the
erl_nif documentation to reflect the changes to these functions. Add
tests to nif_SUITE for these changes.
Add a field to ErlNifEnv to track that a NIF has raised an exception
via enif_make_badarg. If a NIF calls enif_make_badarg but then ignores
its return value and instead tries to return a non-exception term as
its return value, the runtime still raises a badarg. This is needed to
prevent enif_make_badarg values resulting from calls to
enif_make_double, enif_make_atom, or enif_make_atom_len from being
erroneously stored within other terms and returned from a NIF. Calling
enif_make_badarg but not returning its return value has been
documented as being illegal ever since enif_make_badarg was added, but
the runtime has not enforced it until now. Add tests for regular and
dirty NIFs to ensure that calls to enif_make_badarg result in badarg
exceptions even if a NIF fails to return the result of
enif_make_badarg as its return value. Add documentation to
enif_make_badarg to specify that calling it raises a badarg even if a
NIF ignores its return value.

and add 'dirty_scheduler_support' to ErlNifSysInfo
|
|
In the #erlang IRC channel Anthony Ramine once mentioned the idea of
allowing a NIF to use an emulator trap, similar to a BIF trap, to schedule
another NIF for execution. This is exactly how dirty NIFs were implemented
for Erlang/OTP 17.0, so this commit refactors and generalizes that dirty
NIF code to support a new enif_schedule_nif() API function.
The enif_schedule_nif() function allows a long-running NIF to be broken
into separate NIF invocations. The NIF first executes part of the
long-running task, then calls enif_schedule_nif() to schedule a NIF for
later execution to continue the task. Any number of NIFs can be scheduled
in this manner, one after another. Since the emulator regains control
between invocations, this helps avoid problems caused by native code tying
up scheduler threads for too long.
The enif_schedule_nif() function also replaces the original experimental
dirty NIF API. The function takes a flags parameter that a caller can use
to indicate the NIF should be scheduled onto either a dirty CPU scheduler
thread, a dirty I/O scheduler thread, or scheduled as a regular NIF on a
regular scheduler thread. With this change, the original experimental
enif_schedule_dirty_nif(), enif_schedule_dirty_nif_finalizer() and
enif_dirty_nif_finalizer() API functions are no longer needed and have been
removed. Explicit scheduling of a dirty NIF finalization function is no
longer necessary; if an application wants similar functionality, it can
have a dirty NIF just invoke enif_schedule_nif() to schedule a non-dirty
NIF to complete its task.
Lift the restriction that dirty NIFs can't call enif_make_badarg() to raise
an exception. This was a problem with the original dirty NIF API because it
forced developers to get and check all incoming arguments in a regular NIF,
and then schedule the dirty NIF which then had to get all the arguments
again. Now, the argument checking can be done in the dirty NIF and it can
call enif_make_badarg() itself to flag incorrect arguments.
Extend the ErlNifFunc struct with a new flags field that allows NIFs to be
declared as dirty. The default value for this field is 0, indicating a
regular NIF, so it's backwards compatible with all existing statically
initialized ErlNifFunc struct instances, and so such instances require no
code changes. Defining the flags field with a value of
ERL_NIF_DIRTY_JOB_CPU_BOUND indicates that the NIF should execute on a
dirty CPU scheduler thread, or defining it with a value of
ERL_NIF_DIRTY_JOB_IO_BOUND indicates that the NIF should execute on a dirty
I/O scheduler thread. Any other flags field value causes a NIF library
loading error.
Extend the ErlNifEntry struct with a new options field that indicates
whether a NIF library was built with support for optional features such as
dirty NIFs. When a NIF library is loaded, the runtime checks the options
field to ensure compatibility. If a NIF library built with dirty NIF
support is loaded into a runtime that does not support dirty NIFs, and the
library defines one or more ErlNifFunc entries with non-zero flags fields
indicating dirty NIFs, a NIF library loading error results. There is no
error if a NIF library built with dirty NIF support is loaded into a
runtime that does not support dirty NIFs but the library does not have any
dirty NIFs. It is also not an error if a library without dirty NIF support
is loaded into a runtime built with dirty NIF support.
Add documentation and tests for enif_schedule_nif().

Add initial support for dirty schedulers.
There are two types of dirty schedulers: CPU schedulers and I/O
schedulers. By default, there are as many dirty CPU schedulers as there are
normal schedulers and as many dirty CPU schedulers online as normal
schedulers online. There are 10 dirty I/O schedulers (similar to the choice
of 10 as the default for async threads).
By default, dirty schedulers are disabled and conditionally compiled
out. To enable them, you must pass --enable-dirty-schedulers to the
top-level configure script when building Erlang/OTP.
Current dirty scheduler support requires the emulator to be built with SMP
support. This restriction will be lifted in the future.
You can specify the number of dirty schedulers with the command-line
options +SDcpu (for dirty CPU schedulers) and +SDio (for dirty I/O
schedulers). The +SDcpu option is similar to the +S option in that it takes
two numbers separated by a colon: C1:C2, where C1 specifies the number of
dirty schedulers available and C2 specifies the number of dirty schedulers
online. The +SDPcpu option allows numbers of dirty CPU schedulers available
and dirty CPU schedulers online to be specified as percentages, similar to
the existing +SP option for normal schedulers. The number of dirty CPU
schedulers created and dirty CPU schedulers online may not exceed the
number of normal schedulers created and normal schedulers online,
respectively. The +SDio option takes only a single number specifying the
number of dirty I/O schedulers available and online. There is no support
yet for programmatically changing at run time the number of dirty CPU
schedulers online via erlang:system_flag/2. Also, changing the number of
normal schedulers online via erlang:system_flag(schedulers_online,
NewSchedulersOnline) should ensure that there are no more dirty CPU
schedulers than normal schedulers, but this is not yet implemented. You can
retrieve the number of dirty schedulers by passing dirty_cpu_schedulers,
dirty_cpu_schedulers_online, or dirty_io_schedulers to
erlang:system_info/1.
Currently only NIFs are able to access dirty scheduler
functionality. Neither drivers nor BIFs currently support dirty
schedulers. This restriction will be addressed in the future.
If dirty scheduler support is present in the runtime, the initial status
line Erlang prints before presenting its interactive prompt will include
the indicator "[ds:C1:C2:I]" where "ds" indicates "dirty schedulers", "C1"
indicates the number of dirty CPU schedulers available, "C2" indicates the
number of dirty CPU schedulers online, and "I" indicates the number of
dirty I/O schedulers.
Document The dirty NIF API in the erl_nif man page. The API closely follows
Rickard Green's presentation slides from his talk "Future Extensions to the
Native Interface", presented at the 2011 Erlang Factory held in the San
Francisco Bay Area. Rickard's slides are available online at
http://bit.ly/1m34UHB .
Document the new erl command-line options, the additions to
erlang:system_info/1, and also add the erlang:system_flag/2 dirty scheduler
documentation even though it's not yet implemented.
To determine whether the dirty NIF API is available, native code can check
to see whether the C preprocessor macro ERL_NIF_DIRTY_SCHEDULER_SUPPORT is
defined. To check if dirty schedulers are available at run time, native
code can call the boolean enif_have_dirty_schedulers() function, and Erlang
code can call erlang:system_info(dirty_cpu_schedulers), which raises
badarg if no dirty scheduler support is available.
Add a simple dirty NIF test to the emulator NIF suite.

This function allows for easily determining if a term represents
or not a number (integer, float, small or big).
|

Add the enif_is_exception function to allow callers to determine
whether an ERL_NIF_TERM represents an exception. (Currently the only
supported exception is badarg since only enif_make_badarg exists, but
this will likely be expanded in future releases.) This allows NIF code
to call other NIF functions that return ERL_NIF_TERM and properly
check to see if the returned terms are exceptions. Without the
enif_is_exception function, developers have to create their own means
of checking whether a function creates an exception, such as returning
boolean success/failure indicators or some other special value
indicating that an exception is in effect.
The declaration of enif_is_exception in erl_nif_api_funcs.h respects
the order of declarations required to keep compatibility on Windows.
Add a new test to verify the operation of enif_is_exception.
Modify the erl_nif man page to add a description of enif_is_exception
and also to clarify the requirements of calling the enif_make_badarg
function. If code calls enif_make_badarg, the env passed in gets set
with exception information and so the return value of the calling
function MUST be the badarg term returned from enif_make_badarg. Also
clarify that the result of enif_make_badarg may be passed only to
enif_is_exception and not to any other NIF API functions.

In the erl_nif documentation, clarify how and when NIF resource
objects can be deallocated. Specifically, add focus for the case of
calling enif_release_resource immediately after obtaining a resource
term from enif_make_resource, since this is likely to be a common
approach NIFs use to manage resources.
Also fix a couple misspellings in the erl_nif documentation.

These are basically the same as enif_make_atom,
enif_make_existing_atom and enif_make_string except that the
new functions require a length parameter instead of a
null-terminated C-string.
