* bjorn/dialyzer/add-typer/OTP-14336: Add smoke test for TypER Add back TypEr to the main OTP repository
2017-04-20Add back TypEr to the main OTP repositoryBjörn Gustavsson
It turned out that the dependencies between Dialyzer and TypEr makes it impractical to have TypEr in a separate repository. Add it back to the OTP repository, but put the Erlang module 'typer' in the dialyzer application.

2017-02-06Implement magic referencesRickard Green
Magic references are *intentionally* indistinguishable from ordinary references for the Erlang software. Magic references do not change the language, and are intended as a pure runtime internal optimization. An ordinary reference is typically used as a key in some table. A magic reference has a direct pointer to a reference counted magic binary. This makes it possible to implement various things without having to do lookups in a table, but instead access the data directly. Besides very fast lookups this can also improve scalability by removing a potentially contended table. A couple of examples of planned future usage of magic references are ETS table identifiers, and BIF timer identifiers. Besides future optimizations using magic references it should also be possible to replace the exposed magic binary cludge with magic references. That is, magic binaries that are exposed as empty binaries to the Erlang software.

2016-12-22escript: Handle symbolic link to a standalone escriptHåkan Mattsson
The code has been rearranged to make use of the actual path "get_default_emulator(scriptname)" to the escript instead of the given one "get_default_emulator(argv[0])". TL;DR Assume a source system with some Erlang applications (app1, app2 etc.) and an escript called "mytool". When generating a standalone target system (with reltool for example), the escript(s) are located in the same top bin directory as "erl". See mytool* below. In such a system the original "mytool" escript is given the extension ".escript" and the file with the same name as the original escript is a copy of the "escript" executable. One purpose of the escript executable is to determine which "erl" to use to start the system. In a standalone system we want it to find the runtime system bundled with the escript(s). This is done by analyzing the path in order to find the "erl" located in the same directory as the escript. A dilemma here is that we do not want to put the top bin directory in the execution path (PATH env var) as we then would cause other Erlang applications to make use of our bundled run-time system. One way of solving this is to choose some suitable bin directory in the execution path (such as /user/local/bin) and put a symbolic link there to our mytool executable. Unfortunately this did not work as the escript executable (in this case called mytool) would try to find "erl" in /usr/local/bin and when it did not find such a file it resorted to use the command "erl" which would find some (unwanted) "erl" in the execution path. My fix solves that problem. ├── bin/ │   ├── erl* (dyn_erl.c) │   ├── mytool* (escript.c) │   ├── mytool.escript* (original mytool escript) │   └── start_clean.boot ├── erts-vsn/ │   └── bin/ │   ├── beam* │   ├── beam.smp* │   ├── erl* │   ├── erl_child_setup* │   ├── erlexec* │   └── inet_gethost* └── lib/ ├── app1-vsn ├── app2-vsn └── ...

2016-11-21Remove vestiges of watchdog support in heartMagnus Henoch
Hardware watchdog support was removed from heart in R13A, but there were still some vestiges in the code and the documentation. - Remove mentions of the HW_WD_DISABLE variable, as it's no longer used. - Remove the HEART_BEAT_BOOT_DELAY variable, as it was only used for the hardware watchdog.

2016-10-12erts: Refactor out func_info into structLukas Larsson
This commit adds two new structs to be used to represent erlang code in erts. ErtsCodeInfo is used to describe the i_func_info header that is part of all Export entries and the prelude of each function. This replaces all the BeamInstr * that were previously used to point to these locations. After this change the code should never use BeamInstr * with offsets to figure out different parts of the func_info header. ErtsCodeMFA is a struct that is used to descripe a MFA in code. It is used within ErtsCodeInfo and also in Process->current. All function that previously took Eterm * or BeamInstr * to identify a MFA now use the ErtsCodeMFA or ErtsCodeInfo where appropriate. The code has been tested to work when adding a new field to the ErtsCodeInfo struct, but some updates are needed in ops.tab to make it work.

2016-07-05run_erl: Fix failing run_erl invokation on OpenBSDSverker Eriksson
Symptom: run_erl does exit(0) and child program (erl) does not seem to start. Running run_erl again however brings the previous child program to life. Problem: A race causing run_erl to read 0 from master pty and exit because the child has not yet opened its corresponding slave pty. Solution: Use the non standard openpty() function instead that does not expose this race as the slave fd is opened in the parent. Question: Is there a race free way to do this with posix_openpt on OpenBSD?

Add a command line option that lets you disable automatic starting of epmd when starting a distributed node. This differs from the undocumented setting -no_epmd, in that it does not affect the starting of an erl_epmd process within erl_distribution: the newly started node will expect an epmd instance to have been started previously.

2016-05-10erts: Implement max_heap_size process flagLukas Larsson
The max_heap_size process flag can be used to limit the growth of a process heap by killing it before it becomes too large to handle. It is possible to set the maximum using the `erl +hmax` option, `system_flag(max_heap_size, ...)`, `spawn_opt(Fun, [{max_heap_size, ...}])` and `process_flag(max_heap_size, ...)`. It is possible to configure the behaviour of the process when the maximum heap size is reached. The process may be sent an untrappable exit signal with reason kill and/or send an error_logger message with details on the process state. A new trace event called gc_max_heap_size is also triggered for the garbage_collection trace flag when the heap grows larger than the configured size. If kill and error_logger are disabled, it is still possible to see that the maximum has been reached by doing garbage collection tracing on the process. The heap size is defined as the sum of the heap memory that the process is currently using. This includes all generational heaps, the stack, any messages that are considered to be part of the heap and any extra memory the garbage collector may need during collection. In the current implementation this means that when a process is set using on_heap message queue data mode, the messages that are in the internal message queue are counted towards this value. For off_heap, only matched messages count towards the size of the heap. For mixed, it depends on race conditions within the VM whether a message is part of the heap or not. Below is an example run of the new behaviour: Eshell V8.0 (abort with ^G) 1> f(P),P = spawn_opt(fun() -> receive ok -> ok end end, [{max_heap_size, 512}]). <0.60.0> 2> erlang:trace(P, true, [garbage_collection, procs]). 1 3> [P ! lists:duplicate(M,M) || M <- lists:seq(1,15)],ok. ok 4> =ERROR REPORT==== 26-Apr-2016::16:25:10 === Process: <0.60.0> Context: maximum heap size reached Max heap size: 512 Total heap size: 723 Kill: true Error Logger: true GC Info: [{old_heap_block_size,0}, {heap_block_size,609}, {mbuf_size,145}, {recent_size,0}, {stack_size,9}, {old_heap_size,0}, {heap_size,211}, {bin_vheap_size,0}, {bin_vheap_block_size,46422}, {bin_old_vheap_size,0}, {bin_old_vheap_block_size,46422}] flush().
