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.

enif_realloc_binary return int
enif_alloc/enif_free does not accept env as first argument.
enif_send return int
enif_self in alphabetic order
|
|
Also made the SEEALSO link at the bottom of erl_nif.xml more "erlangish".

New NIF features:
Send messages from a NIF, or from thread created by NIF, to any local
process (enif_send)
Store terms between NIF calls (enif_alloc_env, enif_make_copy)
Create binary terms with user defined memory management
(enif_make_resource_binary)

Add new NIF API functions
- enif_make_atom_len
- enif_make_existing_atom_len
- enif_make_string_len
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.

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.
Support for references, floats and term comparison.
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.

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)
- Moved some man pages to more apropriate sections, pages in
section 4 moved to 5 and pages in 6 moved to 7.
- The legal notice is taken from the xml book file so OTP's
build process can be used for non OTP applications.

NIF function prototypes in order to allow more than 3 function
arguments. Also an incompatible change in the return value of
erlang:load_nif/2. Added support for references, floats and term
comparison in NIFs. Read more in the documentation of erl_nif and
erlang:load_nif/2.
