2013-02-11Make prim_file skip invalid filenames in unicode modePatrik Nyblom
The fix affects list_dir and read_link. Raw filenames are now never produced, just consumed even if +fnu or +fna is used on Linux etc. This also adds the options to get error return or error handler warning messages with +fn{u|a}{i|w|e} as an option to erl. This is still not documented and there needs to be other versions of read_dir and read_link to facilitate reading of all types of filenames and links. A check that we will not change to an invalid directory is also needed.

2013-01-21Text representation of a float formatted using given options.Serge Aleynikov
This BIF solves a problem of float_to_list/1 that doesn't allow specifying the number of digits after the decimal point when formatting floats. float_to_list(Float, Options) -> string() Float = float() Options = [Option] Option = {decimals, Decimals::0..249} | {scientific, Decimals::0..249} | compact Returns a string which corresponds to the text representation of a `Float` formatted using given options. When decimals option is specified the returned value will contain at most `Decimals` number of digits past the decimal point. When `compact` option is provided the trailing zeros at the end of the list are truncated (this option is only meaningful together with the `decimals` option). When `scientific` option is provided, the float will be formatted using scientific notation with `Decimals` digits of precision. If `Options` is `[]` the function behaves like `float_to_list/1`. When using `decimals` option and the number doesn't fit in the static internal buffer of 256 bytes the function throws `badarg`.

2012-05-10Remove stale code for hybrid heap and incremental GCBjörn Gustavsson
The hybrid heap emulator was last working in the non-SMP R11B run-time system. When the constant pools were introduced in R12B, the hybrid heap emulator was not updated to handle them. At this point, the harm from reduced readability of the code is greater than any potential usefulness of keeping the code.

User tags in a dynamic trace enabled VM are spread throughout the system in the same way as seq_trace tokens. This is used by the file module and various other modules to get hold of the tag from the user process without changing the protocol.

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.

Added erlang:system_info(build_type) which makes it easier to chose drivers, NIF libraries, etc based on build type of the runtime system.
2010-08-10Rewrite ethread libraryRickard Green
Large parts of the ethread library have been rewritten. The ethread library is an Erlang runtime system internal, portable thread library used by the runtime system itself. Most notable improvement is a reader optimized rwlock implementation which dramatically improve the performance of read-lock/read-unlock operations on multi processor systems by avoiding ping-ponging of the rwlock cache lines. The reader optimized rwlock implementation is used by miscellaneous rwlocks in the runtime system that are known to be read-locked frequently, and can be enabled on ETS tables by passing the `{read_concurrency, true}' option upon table creation. See the documentation of `ets:new/2' for more information. The ethread library can now also use the libatomic_ops library for atomic memory accesses. This makes it possible for the Erlang runtime system to utilize optimized atomic operations on more platforms than before. Use the `--with-libatomic_ops=PATH' configure command line argument when specifying where the libatomic_ops installation is located. The libatomic_ops library can be downloaded from: http://www.hpl.hp.com/research/linux/atomic_ops/ The changed API of the ethread library has also caused modifications in the Erlang runtime system. Preparations for the to come "delayed deallocation" feature has also been done since it depends on the ethread library. Note: When building for x86, the ethread library will now use instructions that first appeared on the pentium 4 processor. If you want the runtime system to be compatible with older processors (back to 486) you need to pass the `--enable-ethread-pre-pentium4-compatibility' configure command line argument when configuring the system.

2010-01-13Improve binary garbage collectionBjörn-Egil Dahlberg
The garbage collector in r13b03 is too aggressive in some cases. This commit raises the level of default initial allowed binary garbage (virtual heap for binaries) before collecting from 233 words to 46368 words (181 kB on 32-bit). A new option, min_bin_vheap_size, has been added to spawn_opt, system_flag and process_flag can be used to change the default values. The option can also be used with system_info and process_info to inspect the values. For symmetry the option min_heap_size has been added to the above functions where it was previously missing. Add testcases for min_bin_vheap_size and min_heap_size for functions process_flag/2, process_info/2, system_info/2 and spawn_opt/2.

* jv/binary_to_term-opts: document ErtsExternalDist flags and CON_ID mask add options to binary_to_term OTP-8367 There is new erlang:binary_to_binary/2 BIF that takes an option list. The option safe can be used to prevent creation of resources that are not garbage collected (such as atoms). (Thanks to Jayson Vantuyl.)
2010-01-08add options to binary_to_termJayson Vantuyl
term_to_binary and binary_to_term are powerful tools that can be used easily in lieu of a custom binary network protocol. Unfortunately, carefully crafted data can be used to exhaust the memory in an Erlang node by merely attempting to decode binaries. This makes it unsafe to receive data from untrusted sources. This is possible because binary_to_term/1 will allocate new atoms and new external function references. These data structures are not garbage collected. This patch implements the new form of binary_to_term that takes a list of options, and a simple option called 'safe'. If specified, this option will cause decoding to fail with a badarg error if an atom or external function reference would be allocated. In the general case, it will happily decode any Erlang term other than those containing new atoms or new external function references. However, fun, pid, and ref data types can embed atoms. They might fail to decode if one of these embedded atoms is new to the node. This may be an issue if encoded binaries are transferred between nodes or persisted between invocations of Erlang.
