2010-02-03OTP-8323 Cross compilation improvements and other build systemRickard Green
improvements. Most notable: Lots of cross compilation improvements. The old cross compilation support was more or less non-existing as well as broken. Please, note that the cross compilation support should still be considered as experimental. Also note that old cross compilation configurations cannot be used without modifications. For more information on cross compiling Erlang/OTP see the $ERL_TOP/xcomp/README file. Support for staged install using <url href="http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/DESTDIR.html">D ESTDIR</url>. The old broken INSTALL_PREFIX has also been fixed. For more information see the $ERL_TOP/README file. Documentation of the release target of the top Makefile. For more information see the $ERL_TOP/README file. make install now by default creates relative symbolic links instead of absolute ones. For more information see the $ERL_TOP/README file. $ERL_TOP/configure --help=recursive now works and prints help for all applications with configure scripts. Doing make install, or make release directly after make all no longer triggers miscellaneous rebuilds. Existing bootstrap system is now used when doing make install, or make release without a preceding make all. The crypto and ssl applications use the same runtime library path when dynamically linking against libssl.so and libcrypto.so. The runtime library search path has also been extended. The configure scripts of erl_interface and odbc now search for thread libraries and thread library quirks the same way as erts do. The configure script of the odbc application now also looks for odbc libraries in lib64 and lib/64 directories when building on a 64-bit system. The config.h.in file in the erl_interface application is now automatically generated in instead of statically updated which reduces the risk of configure tests without any effect.
2010-02-02Add the +t emulator option to change the maximum number of atomsJulien Barbot
It is now possible to increase or decrease the maximum number of atoms the VM can handle. The default value is 1048576 (1024*1024).
2010-01-20Merge branch 'cf/compile_warning_as_error' into ccase/r13b04_devErlang/OTP
* cf/compile_warning_as_error: Add option -Werror in erlc(1) compile: add flag warnings_as_errors to treat warnings as errors compile.erl: remove trailing whitespace OTP-8382 The -Werror option for erlc and the compiler option warnings_as_errors will cause warnings to be treated as errors. (Thanks to Christopher Faulet.)
2010-01-19Add option -Werror in erlc(1)Christopher Faulet
Like in gcc, this option treats warnings as errors.
2010-01-15Merge branch 'egil/binary-gc' into ccase/r13b04_devErlang/OTP
* egil/binary-gc: Add documentation for binary heap size settings. Add tracing capabilities for binary virtual heap Add min heap size start options to beam and erl Improve binary garbage collection OTP-8370 The default settings for garbage collection of binaries has been adjusted to be less aggressive than in R13B03. It is now also possible configure the settings for binary GC. See the documentation for spawn_opt/2-5, erlang:system_info/1, erlang:system_flag/2, process_flag/2-3, erlang:trace/3, and the documenation for erl for the new command line options +hms and +hmbs.
2010-01-13Add min heap size start options to beam and erlBjörn-Egil Dahlberg
The erl (and beam) start arguments are extended with the following options: * +hms Size, sets the default minimum heap size for processes. * +hmbs Size, sets the default minimum binary virtual heap size for processes. The previous +h Size argument can still be used for backward compatibility purposes.
2009-12-15Allow mc.sh and rc.sh to work when path to mc/rc.exe has spacesAndrew Thompson
The eval call in these scripts was failing for me because the path to them on my windows machine contained spaces. I also fixed some copy/paste-os from when (evidently) the mc.sh script was created by copying the rc.sh script and modifying it.
2009-12-04Merge branch 'mh/to_erl-error-messages' into ccase/r13b04_devErlang/OTP
* mh/to_erl-error-messages: to_erl: Include strerror(errno) in error messages OTP-8325 to_erl will now include the system error string in error messages to make it easier to understand what the real problem is. (Thanks to Magnus Henoch.)
2009-11-28to_erl: Include strerror(errno) in error messagesMagnus Henoch
to_erl likes to print the message "No running Erlang on pipe ...", no matter what the problem actually was. The wording might make you forget that you just need to run to_erl as another user, for example. With this change, to_erl will print the system error message in addition to its own. Example output: No running Erlang on pipe pipes/erlang.pipe.5: Permission denied (wrong user, wrong permissions, etc) No running Erlang on pipe pipes/erlang.pipe.5: No such device or address (this actually means "no running Erlang") No running Erlang on pipe pipes/erlang.pipe: No such file or directory (not only is there no running Erlang, there are also no pipes at all)
2009-11-28dialyzer: make -wx always start the SMP emulatorKostis Sagonas
The wx application will only work in the SMP emulator, so the -wx option for 'dialyzer' must force the -smp option when starting the emulator. Make sure that -wx in *any* position on the command line (not only as the first argument) forces the SMP emulator.
