2011-05-11erlexec: Make ERL_<version>_FLAGS behave like ERL_AFLAGSBjörn Gustavsson
The contents of the ERL_<version>_FLAGS undocumented environment variable would be added at the end of the command line passed to the BEAM emualator (similar to ERL_ZFLAGS), making it impossible to override (for example) "-smp" with "-smp disable" on the command line. To allow overriding, put the contents of ERL_<version>_FLAGS at the beginning of the command line (similar to ERL_AFLAGS). Since the ERL_<version>_FLAGS variable is undocumented and unsupported, it is OK to change its behaviour in a minor release.
2011-05-11cerl: Fix several incompatibilities with 'erl'Björn Gustavsson
Invoking 'cerl' like 'cerl -smp' would only start the smp emulator if default was to start the non-smp emulator, otherwise 'erlexec' would try to start 'beam.smp.smp'. Furthermore 'cerl -smp disable' would be handled in the same way as 'cerl -smp'.
2011-05-11Teach erlexec the -emu_name_exit optionBjörn Gustavsson
It is difficult/impossible to find out whether an invocation of 'erl' will start the smp emulator or the non-smp emulator (short of actually starting the emulator). Therefore we will need a way to ask 'erlexec'.
2011-05-11cerl: Remove ancient obsolete optionsBjörn Gustavsson
The -frag and -smp_frag options was used to start an (at the time) experimental build of the emulator. The -shared and -hybrid option was used to start experimental versions of the emulator with alternate heap architectures.
2011-05-02Teach run_erl RUN_ERL_DISABLE_FLOWCNTRL for disabling flow controlJonas Faklkevik
Flow control can cause unwanted behaviour of the beam process, if accidentally hit Ctrl-S (instead of Ctrl-D to detach) the entire beam may be blocked. Fix this problem by making it possible to turn off flow control by setting the environment variable RUN_ERL_DISABLE_FLOWCNTRL.

heart:get_cmd/0 is documented to return an empty string if the command is cleared. get_cmd/0 returns 2 extra bytes: 1 byte for the trailing null, 1 byte from the op (the op is an unsigned char and 2 bytes are allocated for it in the returned buffer). 1> heart:get_cmd(). {ok,[0,0]} 2> heart:set_cmd("echo hello"). ok 3> heart:get_cmd(). {ok,[101,99,104,111,32,104,101,108,108,111,0,0]} 4> heart:clear_cmd(). ok 5> heart:get_cmd(). {ok,[0,99]}

find_redist.sh searches for the matching MS VC++ redistributable runtime in likely places. Patch adds support for MS Windows SDK 7.0 and 7.1, used in VS2008 and VS2010. Also supports putting vcredist_x86.exe in $ERL_TOP/.. or $ERL_TOP

* jp/dependencies_makefile: Add dependencies Makefile generation to erlc(1) and compile(3) Conflicts: lib/compiler/test/compile_SUITE.erl OTP-9065
2011-02-18Add dependencies Makefile generation to erlc(1) and compile(3)Jean-Sébastien Pédron
This is useful when a project is built with Makefiles and erlc(1) instead of EMakefiles. Tracking dependencies by hand is error-prone and it becomes painful when using external application headers like EUnit's one. A dependencies Makefile will look like this: module.beam: module.erl \ /usr/local/lib/erlang/lib/eunit-2.1.4/include/eunit.hrl \ header.hrl When included in the main Makefile, 'module' will be recompiled only when needed. GCC offers the same feature and new erlc(1) options are compatible with it. More informations at: http://wiki.github.com/dumbbell/otp/dependencies-makefile

2010-12-02Stop using uncertain flags for getaddrinfo()Raimo Niskanen
The AI_V4MAPPED flag is falling out of grace in modern IPv6 stacks, for security reasons, e.g. FreeBSD do not document it any longer. The AI_ADDRCONFIG flag have got unclear semantics on the same OS.

It seems windows have updated manifest files in VS2010 which caused the erlang programs to contain duplicate requestedExecutionLevel entries, which is not allowed. This patch removes the microsoft entry, before adding our own which is known to work with XP and Vista.

* sf/erts_de_busy_limit: Add flag-based setting for the distribution buffer busy limit
2010-11-02Add flag-based setting for the distribution buffer busy limitScott Lystig Fritchie
Id: OTP-8912 This patch creates a new family of flags with the "+z" prefix. It further creates a new configuration option called "dbbl" (which is the first letter of the name dist_buf_busy_limit). Example usage of this flag would be "+zdbbl 1048576". This patch creates an adjustable buffer limit for the amount of data that may be buffered by the erlang distribution code (in dist.c specifically). Before this patch, this hard-coded constant was used: #define ERTS_DE_BUSY_LIMIT (128*1024) When large binaries are transmitted between nodes (or simply a lot of medium-sized binaries), it is very easy to hit the old 128KB limit. Processes that use the erlang:system_monitor() BIF to monitor system events can be spammed by {monitor, busy_dist_port, ...} message tuples at rates of tens to even hundreds of messages/second. A larger buffer limit will allow processes to buffer more outgoing messages over the distribution. When the buffer limit has been reached, sending processes will be suspended until the buffer size has shrunk. The buffer limit is per distribution channel. A higher limit will give lower latency and higher throughput at the expense of higher memory usage. A variation of this patch has been in commercial production use in at least two companies that the author is aware of. Larger buffer values can reduce the number of {monitor, busy_dist_port, ...} system messages drastically, lower overall messaging latencies, and prevent false timeouts and 'nodedown' messages in extremely busy Mnesia systems. Test suite: there are two tests: a. In erlexec_SUITE.erl to test basic set & get of the value b. In distribution_SUITE.erl, to verify that setting +zdbbl very low will actually change behavior.

2010-10-07Incorporate Michael Santos patch for cerl and gdb via emacsPatrik Nyblom
Michael Santos supplied a very nice patch that did set the annotation level correctly for gdb when run from cerl in emacs. The patch adds --annotate=3 to the gdb command line, which makes emacs parse the gdb output correctly, making the right source code be loaded in the emacs buffer. While integrating it, I removed my faulty code trying to do the same with hacky elisp commands. Michaels way is the right way to do it. Thanks!
2010-10-06Added win32 large address aware link optionBlaine Whittle
This link option just sets a flag in the binary and doesn't change OS compatibility. This allows the Erlang VM to use up to 3 gigs of address space instead of the default of 2 gigs.
