2017-11-30	Add syntax in try/catch to retrieve the stacktrace directly	Björn Gustavsson
	This commit adds a new syntax for retrieving the stacktrace without calling erlang:get_stacktrace/0. That allow us to deprecate erlang:get_stacktrace/0 and ultimately remove it. The problem with erlang:get_stacktrace/0 is that it can keep huge terms in a process for an indefinite time after an exception. The stacktrace can be huge after a 'function_clause' exception or a failed call to a BIF or operator, because the arguments for the call will be included in the stacktrace. For example: 1> catch abs(lists:seq(1, 1000)). {'EXIT',{badarg,[{erlang,abs, [[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20\|...]], []}, {erl_eval,do_apply,6,[{file,"erl_eval.erl"},{line,674}]}, {erl_eval,expr,5,[{file,"erl_eval.erl"},{line,431}]}, {shell,exprs,7,[{file,"shell.erl"},{line,687}]}, {shell,eval_exprs,7,[{file,"shell.erl"},{line,642}]}, {shell,eval_loop,3,[{file,"shell.erl"},{line,627}]}]}} 2> erlang:get_stacktrace(). [{erlang,abs, [[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22, 23,24\|...]], []}, {erl_eval,do_apply,6,[{file,"erl_eval.erl"},{line,674}]}, {erl_eval,expr,5,[{file,"erl_eval.erl"},{line,431}]}, {shell,exprs,7,[{file,"shell.erl"},{line,687}]}, {shell,eval_exprs,7,[{file,"shell.erl"},{line,642}]}, {shell,eval_loop,3,[{file,"shell.erl"},{line,627}]}] 3> We can extend the syntax for clauses in try/catch to optionally bind the stacktrace to a variable. Here is an example using the current syntax: try Expr catch C:E -> Stk = erlang:get_stacktrace(), . . . In the new syntax, it would look like: try Expr catch C:E:Stk -> . . . Only a variable (not a pattern) is allowed in the stacktrace position, to discourage matching of the stacktrace. (Matching would also be expensive, because the raw format of the stacktrace would have to be converted to the cooked form before matching.) Note that: try Expr catch E -> . . . is a shorthand for: try Expr catch throw:E -> . . . If the stacktrace is to be retrieved for a throw, the 'throw:' prefix must be explicitly included: try Expr catch throw:E:Stk -> . . .
2017-11-06	erts: Remove obsolete hipe primop bs_validate_unicode	Sverker Eriksson
	which was replaced by 'is_unicode' in 5369e34a892bfd8ab5aa98df330e3bbf19497b71 but kept for ABI compatibility in OTP-20.*.
2017-11-03	Merge branch 'maint'	Sverker Eriksson

2017-11-03	Fix bug in hipe for <<X/utf32>>	Sverker Eriksson
	by introducing new primop 'is_unicode' with no exception (ab)use and no GC. Replaces bs_validate_unicode which is kept for backward compat for now.
2017-07-17	erts: Remove ERTS_SMP and USE_THREAD defines	Lukas Larsson
	This refactor was done using the unifdef tool like this: for file in $(find erts/ -name *.[ch]); do unifdef -t -f defile -o $file $file; done where defile contained: #define ERTS_SMP 1 #define USE_THREADS 1 #define DDLL_SMP 1 #define ERTS_HAVE_SMP_EMU 1 #define SMP 1 #define ERL_BITS_REENTRANT 1 #define ERTS_USE_ASYNC_READY_Q 1 #define FDBLOCK 1 #undef ERTS_POLL_NEED_ASYNC_INTERRUPT_SUPPORT #define ERTS_POLL_ASYNC_INTERRUPT_SUPPORT 0 #define ERTS_POLL_USE_WAKEUP_PIPE 1 #define ERTS_POLL_USE_UPDATE_REQUESTS_QUEUE 1 #undef ERTS_HAVE_PLAIN_EMU #undef ERTS_SIGNAL_STATE

2015-11-27	hipe: test unit size match in bs_append	Magnus Lång
	This feature was previously missing and expressions such as <<<<1:1>>/binary>> would succeed construction when compiled with HiPE. A primop is_divisible is introduced to handle the case when the unit size is not a power of two.

2015-04-20	erts,hipe: Fix bug in binary matching of writable binary	Sverker Eriksson
	Seen symptom: Hipe compiled code with <<C/utf8, ...>> = Bin does sometimes not match even though Bin contains a valid utf8 character. There might be other possible binary matching symptoms, as the problem is not utf8 specific. Problem: A writable binary was not "emasculated" when the matching started (as it should) by the hipe compiled code. Fix: Add a new primop emasculate_binary(Bin) that is called when a matchstate is created. ToDo: There are probably room for optimization. For example only call emasculate_binary if ProcBin.flags is set.
