2013-01-25Make arguments given with -s option to erl aware of file name encodingSiri Hansen
OTP-10702 Arguments to functions started with the -s option to erl were converted to atoms with list_to_atom(binary_to_list(Bin)) and thus were always seen as latin1 encoded. For other arguments to erl the conversion (to string) would take into account the file name translation mode (set with +fnl, +fnu or +fna switch to erl) and try to convert using unicode:characters_to_list/2. The reason behind this is that it must be possible to give paths and filenames on the command line and get the expected encoding. With the same reasoning, this commit changes the behaviour for arguments to functions started with the -s option to also take into account the file name translation mode. The arguments are now converted to atoms by list_to_atom(unicode:characters_to_list(Bin,file:native_name_encoding())

2012-08-21Fix init:restart with hipelibsSverker Eriksson
This is a workaround for init:restart. The root problem is that delete/purge_module does not clean up internal hipe bookkeeping (hipe_mfa_info's) properly. Symptom: Execution of deallocated beam code.
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.

2010-10-20Fix hang in on_load handlers in embedded modeBjörn Gustavsson
In embedded mode, all on_load handlers will be called after loading all modules but before starting any servers. Therefore, if an on_load handler calls any function in the code module that calls the code server (such as code:priv_dir/1), there will be a deadlock because the code server has not yet been started. Fix this problem by invoking the on_load handlers after having started most servers in the kernel application.

2009-12-13Change the expected return value for on_load functionsBjörn Gustavsson
An on_load function is supposed to return 'true' to indicate that the module should be loaded, and 'false' if it should be unloaded. But returning any other term, as well as causing an exception, will also unload the module. Since we don't like boolean values mixed with other values, change the expected return value as follows: * If 'ok' is returned, the module will remain loaded and become callable. * If any other value is returned (or an exception is generated), the module will be unloaded. Also, if the returned value is not an atom, send a warning message to the error_logger (using error_logger:warning_msg/2). The new interpretation of the return value means that an on_load function can now directly return the return value from erlang:load_nif/2.
