Simplify building a lock-counting emulator
2017-05-16Let --enable-lock-counter build an additional emulatorBjörn Gustavsson
"./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.)
2017-05-12Warn for potentially unsafe use of get_stacktrace/0Björn Gustavsson
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()
