2011-11-13Optimize memory allocationRickard Green
A number of memory allocation optimizations have been implemented. Most optimizations reduce contention caused by synchronization between threads during allocation and deallocation of memory. Most notably: * Synchronization of memory management in scheduler specific allocator instances has been rewritten to use lock-free synchronization. * Synchronization of memory management in scheduler specific pre-allocators has been rewritten to use lock-free synchronization. * The 'mseg_alloc' memory segment allocator now use scheduler specific instances instead of one instance. Apart from reducing contention this also ensures that memory allocators always create memory segments on the local NUMA node on a NUMA system.

2011-09-02Update documentation and specifications of some of the zlib functionsHans Bolinder
The functions zlib:deflateSetDictionary/2 and zlib:inflateSetDictionary/2 accept iodata() as Dictionary. The functions zlib:crc32/2,3, zlib:adler32/2,3, zlib:compress/1, zlib:uncompress/1, zlib:zip/1, and zlib:unzip/1 accept iodata() as data.
2011-08-27Add erlang:external_size/2 BIFFilipe David Manana
This BIF's second parameter is a list of options. Currently the only allowed option is {minor_version, Version} where version is either 0 (default) or 1.
2011-08-25Add erlang:check_old_code/1Björn Gustavsson
Add erlang:check_old_code/1 to quickly check whether a module has old code. If there is no old code, there is no need to call erlang:check_process_code/2 for all processes, which will save some time if there are many processes.

Flow control can cause unwanted behaviour of the beam process, if accidentally hit Ctrl-S (instead of Ctrl-D to detach) the entire beam may be blocked. Fix this problem by making it possible to turn off flow control by setting the environment variable RUN_ERL_DISABLE_FLOWCNTRL.

2011-03-24add support for checking if an ERL_NIF_TERM is an exceptionSteve Vinoski
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.
