#### Why do we need this new feature?
There are cases when a NIF needs to send a message, using `enif_send()`, to a long-lived process with a registered name.
A common use-case is logging, where asynchronous fire-and-forget messages are the norm.
There can also be cases where a yielding or dirty NIF or background thread may request a callback from a service with additional information it needs to complete its operation, yielding or waiting (with suitable timeouts, etc) until its state has been updated through the NIF module's API.
NIFs can only send messages to pids, and the lack of name resolution leaves a complicated dance between separate monitoring processes and the NIF as the only way to keep a NIF informed of the whereabouts of such long-lived processes.
Providing a reliable, built-in facility for NIFs to resolve process (or port) names simplifies these use cases considerably.
#### Risks or uncertain artifacts?
Testing has not exposed any significant risk.
The implementation behaves as expected on regular and dirty scheduler threads as well as non-scheduler threads.
By constraining the `enif_whereis_...()` functions to their minimal scopes and using patterns consistent with related functions, the implementation, testing, and maintenance burden is low.
The API and behavior of existing functions is unchanged.
#### How did you solve it?
While extending `enif_send()` to operate on a pid or an atom (as `erlang:send/2` does) was attractive, it would have entailed changing the type of its `to_pid` parameter and thereby breaking backward compatibility.
The same consideration applies to `enif_port_command()`.
That leaves a choice between 1, 2, or 3 new functions:
1. `enif_whereis()`
2. `enif_whereis_pid()` and `enif_whereis_port()`
3. All of the above.
While option (1), directly mimicking the behavior of `erlang:whereis/1`, is appealing, it poses potential problems if `pid()` or `port()` are subsequently implemented as non-integral types that must be bound to an owning `ErlNifEnv` instance.
Therefore, option (2) has been chosen to use `ErlNifPid`/`ErlNifPort` structures in the API to maintain proper term ownership semantics.

Simplify building a lock-counting emulator
|
|
"./configure --enable-lock-counter" would modify the behavior
of the default emulator (usually SMP).
To make lock counting more accessible, change --enable-lock-counter
to build an additional emulator in the same way as:
(cd erts/emulator && make lcnt)
(The next commit will make it easier to start the built lock-counter
emulator.)

erlang:get_stacktrace/0 returns the stacktrace for the latest
exception. The problem is that the stacktrace is kept until the next
exception occurs. If the last exception was a 'function_clause' or a
'badarg', the arguments for the call are also kept forever. The
arguments can be terms of any size (potentially huge).
In a future release, we would like to only allow
erlang:get_stacktrace/0 from within a 'try' expression. That would
make it possible to clear the stacktrace when the 'try' expression is
exited.
The 'catch' expression has no natural end where the stacktrace could
be cleared. The stacktrace could be cleared at the end of the function
that the 'catch' occurs in, but that would cause problems in the
following scenario (from real life, but simplified):
try
...
catch _:_ ->
io:format(...),
io:format("~p\n", [erlang:get_stacktrace()])
end.
%% In io.erl.
format(Fmt, Args) ->
Res = case ... of
SomePattern ->
catch...
...;
SomeOtherPattern ->
%% Output the formatted string here
...
end,
clear_stacktrace(), %% Inserted by compiler.
Res.
The call to io:format() would always clear the stacktrace before
it could be retrieved.
That problem could be solved by tightning the scope in which the
stacktrace is kept, but the rules for how long erlang:get_stacktrace/0
would work would become complicated.
Therefore, the solution we suggest for a future major release of
OTP is that erlang:get_stacktrace/0 will return [] if it is called
outside the 'catch' part of a 'try' expression.
To help users prepare, introduce a warning when it is likely that
erlang:get_stacktrace/0 will always return an empty list, for example
in this code:
catch error(foo),
Stk = erlang:get_stacktrace()
or in this code:
try Expr
catch _:_ -> ok end,
Stk = erlang:get_stacktrace()
