to be: 116,Arity, K1,V1,K2,V2,...,Kn,Vn instead of: 116,Arity, K1,K2,...,Kn, V1,V2,....,Vn We think this will be better for future internal map structures like HAMT. Would be bad if we need to iterate twice over HAMT in term_to_binary, one for keys and one for values.

* vinoski/ds2: further enhancements for dirty schedulers allow optional whitespace in dirty scheduler erl options
2014-02-24further enhancements for dirty schedulersSteve Vinoski
Add support for setting the number of dirty CPU schedulers online via erlang:system_flag/2. Assuming the emulator is built with dirty schedulers enabled, the number of dirty CPU schedulers online may not be less than 1, nor greater than the number of dirty CPU schedulers available, nor greater than the number of normal schedulers online. Dirty CPU scheduler threads that are taken offline via system_flag/2 are suspended. The number of dirty CPU schedulers online may be adjusted independently of the number of normal schedulers online, but if system_flag/2 is used to set the number of normal schedulers online to a value less than the current number of normal schedulers online, the number of dirty CPU schedulers online is decreased proportionally. Likewise, if the number of normal schedulers online is increased, the number of dirty CPU schedulers online is increased proportionally. For example, if 8 normal schedulers and 4 dirty CPU schedulers are online, and system_flag/2 is called to set the number of normal schedulers online to 4, the number of dirty CPU schedulers online is also decreased by half, to 2. Subsequently setting the number of normal schedulers online back to 8 also sets the number of dirty CPU schedulers online back to 4. Augment the system_flag/2 documentation in the erlang man page to explain this relationship between schedulers_online and dirty_cpu_schedulers_online. Also ensure that all dirty CPU and I/O schedulers are suspended when multi-scheduling is blocked via system_flag/2, and brought back online when multi-scheduling is unblocked. Add Rickard Green's rewritten check_enqueue_in_prio_queue() function that inspects process state more thoroughly to determine if to enqueue it and if so on what queue, including dirty queues when appropriate. Make sure dirty NIF jobs do not trigger erlang:system_monitor long_schedule messages. Add more dirty scheduler testing to the scheduler test suite. Remove the erts_no_dirty_cpu_schedulers_online global variable, since it's no longer needed. Execute dirty NIFs on a normal scheduler thread while multi-scheduling blocking is in effect. Evacuate any dirty jobs residing in the dirty run queues over to a normal run queue when multi-scheduling is blocked. Allow dirty schedulers to execute aux work. Set the dirty run queues halt_in_progress flag when halting the normal schedulers. Change dirty scheduler numbers to a structure including both scheduler number and type, either dirty CPU or dirty I/O. Add some assertions to ensure that dirty CPU schedulers operate only on dirty CPU scheduler process flags, and the same for dirty I/O schedulers.
2014-02-24erts: Set default external enc to use new float schemeLukas Larsson
This change was triggered by the OSE float printing function not working exactly the same way as linux/win32. But it is also a good one in general as it cuts size in more than half for floats.

* vinoski/ds: initial support for dirty schedulers and dirty NIFs
2014-01-28initial support for dirty schedulers and dirty NIFsSteve Vinoski
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.

2014-01-15remove deprecated driver_async_cancel functionSteve Vinoski
Some time ago the driver_async_cancel function was deprecated and slated for removal in R17. This commit removes the function along with its associated tests and documentation, sets the ERL_DRV_EXTENDED_MAJOR_VERSION to 3 and ERL_DRV_EXTENDED_MINOR_VERSION to 0, and modifies the sys_info_base_drv and sys_info_prev_drv tests in the driver test suite to check version 3.0 instead of 2.0.

2013-12-18Officially support building core filesTuncer Ayaz
erlc is wired to treat *.core files as core and build them as compile:file(File, [from_core]), but this is not documented. There's also an udocumented compile:file/2 option called 'from_core'. This has been in place and in use for a long time. Therefore, it should be supported officially. To fix that, make the following changes: * document erlc handling of *.core files * document 'from_core'
2013-12-18Officially support building assembler filesTuncer Ayaz
erlc is wired to treat *.S files as assembler and build them as compile:file(File, [from_asm]), but this is not documented. There's also a documented compile:file/2 option called 'asm' (mapping to 'from_asm'), but the wording discourages its use. All of this has been in place and in use for a long time. Therefore, it should be supported officially. To fix that, make the following changes: * document erlc handling of *.core files * un-document 'asm' and document 'from_asm' instead * deprecate 'asm' While at it, fix a minor typo in the test suite.

This issue was pointed out by lpgauth in #erlounge. While the intention is clear, the original wording was a bit dodgy. I'm no grammarian--though I am a native speaker--so it's quite possible the new wording I've introduced is not impeachable. Should be idiomatic, though. Signed-off-by: Brian L.
