2015-03-20Introduce a new time APIRickard Green
The old time API is based on erlang:now/0. The major issue with erlang:now/0 is that it was intended to be used for so many unrelated things. This tied these unrelated operations together and unnecessarily caused performance, scalability as well as accuracy, and precision issues for operations that do not need to have such issues. The new API spreads different functionality over multiple functions in order to improve on this. The new API consists of a number of new BIFs: - erlang:convert_time_unit/3 - erlang:monotonic_time/0 - erlang:monotonic_time/1 - erlang:system_time/0 - erlang:system_time/1 - erlang:time_offset/0 - erlang:time_offset/1 - erlang:timestamp/0 - erlang:unique_integer/0 - erlang:unique_integer/1 - os:system_time/0 - os:system_time/1 and a number of extensions of existing BIFs: - erlang:monitor(time_offset, clock_service) - erlang:system_flag(time_offset, finalize) - erlang:system_info(os_monotonic_time_source) - erlang:system_info(time_offset) - erlang:system_info(time_warp_mode) - erlang:system_info(time_correction) - erlang:system_info(start_time) See the "Time and Time Correction in Erlang" chapter of the ERTS User's Guide for more information.

* sv/isfinite/OTP-12268: Use isfinite() instead of finite() when available
2014-10-28Use isfinite() instead of finite() when availableAnthony Ramine
OS X Mavericks builds result in a number of warnings about finite() being deprecated, like these: beam/erl_arith.c:451:7: warning: 'finite' is deprecated: first deprecated in OS X 10.9 [-Wdeprecated-declarations] ERTS_FP_ERROR(p, f1.fd, goto badarith); ^ sys/unix/erl_unix_sys.h:319:33: note: expanded from macro 'ERTS_FP_ERROR' ^ sys/unix/erl_unix_sys.h:244:51: note: expanded from macro '__ERTS_FP_ERROR' ^ /usr/include/math.h:718:12: note: 'finite' has been explicitly marked deprecated here extern int finite(double) __OSX_AVAILABLE_BUT_DEPRECATED(__MAC_10_0, __MAC_10_9, __IPHONE_NA, __IPHONE_NA); Add checks to use isfinite() instead of finite() where available. Verified on OS X Mavericks 10.9.5 and Ubuntu 12.04.

This port has support for both non-smp and smp. It contains a new way to do io checking in which erts_poll_wait receives the payload of the polled entity. This has implications for all linked-in drivers.

2013-09-25Implement platform specific aligned sys_alloc and use when supportedRickard Green
erts_sys_aligned_alloc() is currently implemented using posix_memalign if it exist, or using _aligned_malloc on Windows. If erts_sys_aligned_alloc() exist allocators will create sys_alloc carriers similar to how this was done pre-R16.
2013-02-18Add +pc {latin1|unicode} switch and io:printable_range/0Patrik Nyblom
This is the base for implementing configurable ~tp printouts, so that the user can define which characters to view as actually printable in the shell and by io_lib:format. The functionality is neither documented nor used in this commit
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`.

2012-11-30erts: Change default of erl_crash.dumpBjörn-Egil Dahlberg
* Create an erl_crash.dump if no heart exists and no ERL_CRASH_DUMP_SECONDS is set (behaviour changed) * Don't create an erl_crash.dump if heart do exists and no ERL_CRASH_DUMP_SECONDS is set (behaviour not changed) This changes the behaviour back to the R15B02 default considering if a beam was running with no heart. The motivation is that we want a fast heart to fast restart erlang if it crashes but to be able to get non-truncated erl_crash.dumps via setting ERL_CRASH_DUMP_SECONDS if we so desire.

2012-10-16erts: Change ERL_CRASH_DUMP_SECONDS behaviourBjörn-Egil Dahlberg
Not setting ERL_CRASH_DUMP_SECONDS will now terminate beam immediately on a crash without writing a crash dump file. Setting ERL_CRASH_DUMP_SECONDS to 0 will also terminate beam immediately on a crash without writing a crash dump file, i.e. same as not setting ERL_CRASH_DUMP_SECONDS environment variable. Setting ERL_CRASH_DUMP_SECONDS to a negative value will let the beam wait indefinitely on the crash dump file being written. Setting ERL_CRASH_DUMP_SECONDS to a positive value will let the beam wait that many seconds on the crash dump file being written. A positive value will set both an alarm in beam AND a heart timeout for restart if heart is running. This is due to the change of 'heart' behavior when 'heart' is listening for a crash.
2012-10-09crypto: Make unloading of crypto saferSverker Eriksson
Facts: crypto nif-lib registers callback functions that openssl uses for memory management and thread synchronization. The callback functions can only be set once, openssl does not allow changing the callback functions. Problem: If openssl is dynamicly linked to crypto, you might get s scenario where the crypto lib is unloaded while leaving openssl loaded with its old pointers to the unloaded crypto code intact. If crypto is then reloaded (by init:restart() for example), the crypto nif-lib might get relocated at a different address. crypto calls openssl which in turn calls the old invalid callback functions...kaboom. Solution: Break apart the callback functions into a separate dynamic lib that crypto loads with dlopen. When crypto is unloaded the callback lib is left in place to be reused if/when crypto is loaded again.

2012-08-14Make get/putenv and erlexec understand UnicodePatrik Nyblom
Putenv and getenv needs to convert to the proper environment strings in Unicode depending on platform and user settings for filename encoding. Also erlexec needs to pass environment strings in an appropriate way for kernel to pick up. All environment strings on the command line, as well as home directory, is now passed in UTF8 on windows and in whatever encoding you have on Unix, kernel tries to convert all parameters and environments from UTF8 before making strings.

2011-11-13Use generic lock-free queue for async threadsRickard Green
Queues used for communication between async threads and scheduler threads have been replaced with lock-free queues. Drivers using the driver_async functionality are not automatically locked to the system anymore, and can be unloaded as any dynamically linked in driver. Scheduling of ready async jobs is now also interleaved in between other jobs. Previously all ready async jobs was performed at once.
