2013-11-18Execution of system tasks in context of another processRickard Green
A process requesting a system task to be executed in the context of another process will be notified by a message when the task has executed. This message will be on the form: {RequestType, RequestId, Pid, Result}. A process requesting a system task to be executed can set priority on the system task. The requester typically set the same priority on the task as its own process priority, and by this avoiding priority inversion. A request for execution of a system task is made by calling the statically linked in NIF erts_internal:request_system_task(Pid, Prio, Request). This is an undocumented ERTS internal function that should remain so. It should *only* be called from BIF implementations. Currently defined system tasks are: * garbage_collect * check_process_code Further system tasks can and will be implemented in the future. The erlang:garbage_collect/[1,2] and erlang:check_process_code/[2,3] BIFs are now implemented using system tasks. Both the 'garbage_collect' and the 'check_process_code' operations perform or may perform garbage_collections. By doing these via the system task functionality all garbage collect operations in the system will be performed solely in the context of the process being garbage collected. This makes it possible to later implement functionality for disabling garbage collection of a process over context switches. Newly introduced BIFs: * erlang:garbage_collect/2 - The new second argument is an option list. Introduced option: * {async, RequestId} - making it possible for users to issue asynchronous garbage collect requests. * erlang:check_process_code/3 - The new third argument is an option list. Introduced options: * {async, RequestId} - making it possible for users to issue asynchronous check process code requests. * {allow_gc, boolean()} - making it possible to issue requests that aren't allowed to garbage collect (operation will abort if gc should be needed). These options have been introduced as a preparation for parallelization of check_process_code operations when the code_server is about to purge a module.
2013-09-09Fix incorrect values returned by integer_to_binary/2Juan Jose Comellas
When integer_to_binary/2 receives 0 or a negative number as an argument with a base that is different from 10, it will return incorrect values (<<>> in the case of 0) or it will crash (with negative numbers). This commit fixes these problems and adds tests to cover these cases.

2013-05-28Fix receive support in erl_eval with a BEAM moduleAnthony Ramine
Using the low-level BEAM instructions, we can loop over each message in the process queue and removes the first message that matches, without receiving them all to later send them back to itself. The function prim_eval:'receive'/2 is equivalent to the following pseudo-code: 'receive'(F, T) -> RESET MESSAGE QUEUE POINTER, LOOP: case PEEK CURRENT MESSAGE WITH TIMEOUT T of {ok,Msg} -> case F(Msg) of nomatch -> DECREMENT TIMEOUT T, ADVANCE MESSAGE QUEUE POINTER, GOTO LOOP; Result -> RESET MESSAGE QUEUE POINTER, Result end; timeout -> RESET MESSAGE QUEUE POINTER, timeout end. To not break Dialyzer and other tools, we use a stub Erlang module which abstract code is forcefully inserted into prim_inet.erl afterwards compilation.

2013-04-04Consistent definition of priority levelsKostis Sagonas
In the specs and the documentation of the spawn_opt family of functions there is the following definition of priority levels: Level = low | normal | high However, the process_flag/1 function in that module reads: process_flag(Flag :: priority, Level) -> OldLevel Types: Level = OldLevel = priority_level() priority_level() = low | normal | high | max This is clearly inconsistent. Change specs to use the process_level() type declaration instead of re-defining it in various places.

2013-02-20prim_file: Fix error return from prim_file:list_dir/1Björn Gustavsson
When the run-time system was started with +fnue, the error tuple indicating a non-translatable filename was added as a non-proper list tail inside an {ok,Files} term.

2013-02-11Teach prim_file:set_cwd() to avoid entering non-translatable directoriesBjörn Gustavsson
We have decided that we don't want to deal with the compilations of prim_file:get_cwd() returning a binary when the current directory name cannot be translated losslessly to a list (i.e. when the run-time system was started with +fnu and the current directory name contains bytes that are not part of a valid UTF-8 sequence). Therefore, if prim_file:set_cwd() is given a binary as the pathname, we will need to check the binary to make sure it can be translated to a list. We will introduce a new BIF, called prim_file:is_translatable/1, which will check both filename encoding mode, and if it is one of Unicode modes, the binary as well. We don't need to do anything special if prim_file:set_cwd() is passed a list.
2013-02-11Make prim_file skip invalid filenames in unicode modePatrik Nyblom
The fix affects list_dir and read_link. Raw filenames are now never produced, just consumed even if +fnu or +fna is used on Linux etc. This also adds the options to get error return or error handler warning messages with +fn{u|a}{i|w|e} as an option to erl. This is still not documented and there needs to be other versions of read_dir and read_link to facilitate reading of all types of filenames and links. A check that we will not change to an invalid directory is also needed.
2013-02-11prim_file: Refactor functions that return filenamesBjörn Gustavsson
2013-02-11prim_file: Refactor handling of responsesBjörn Gustavsson
Currently, the format of the return value from drv_command/3 is determined solely by the efile driver's response. In a future commit, we will need to produce different return values that also dependend on which function in prim_file that was called; thus, we will need some way to pass down some sort of state to drv_get_response/2. As a preparation for that, allow the third argument of drv_command/3 to be a fun. That also allows us to remove the convoluted special case handling of the list_dir operation.
2013-02-11prim_file: Always open non-file ports in binary modeBjörn Gustavsson
Ports for operations that did not directly operate on a file (such as listing the files in a directory) was always opened in a binary mode, but there was still code that supported such port opened in non-binary mode. Since we are about to update the code reading directories, and we don't want to bother we supporting non-binary ports, make sure that we force the use of binary mode.

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())
2013-01-25Extend char() to Unicode charactersHans Bolinder
The code related to the introduction of unicode_string() and unicode_char() has been removed. The types char() and string() have been extended to include Unicode characters. In fact char() was changed some time ago; this commit is about cleaning up the documentation and introduce better names for some functions.

2013-01-21Text representation of a float formatted using given options.Serge Aleynikov
This BIF solves a problem of float_to_list/1 that doesn't allow specifying the number of digits after the decimal point when formatting floats. float_to_list(Float, Options) -> string() Float = float() Options = [Option] Option = {decimals, Decimals::0..249} | {scientific, Decimals::0..249} | compact Returns a string which corresponds to the text representation of a `Float` formatted using given options. When decimals option is specified the returned value will contain at most `Decimals` number of digits past the decimal point. When `compact` option is provided the trailing zeros at the end of the list are truncated (this option is only meaningful together with the `decimals` option). When `scientific` option is provided, the float will be formatted using scientific notation with `Decimals` digits of precision. If `Options` is `[]` the function behaves like `float_to_list/1`. When using `decimals` option and the number doesn't fit in the static internal buffer of 256 bytes the function throws `badarg`.
2013-01-09Add file:allocate/3 operationFilipe David Manana
This operation allows pre-allocation of space for files. It succeeds only on systems that support such operation. The POSIX standard defines the optional system call posix_fallocate() to implement this feature. However, some systems implement more specific functions to accomplish the same operation. On Linux, if the more specific function fallocate() is implemented, it is used instead of posix_fallocate(), falling back to posix_fallocate() if the fallocate() call failed (it's only supported for the ext4, ocfs2, xfs and btrfs file systems at the moment). On Mac OS X it uses the specific fcntl() operation F_PREALLOCATE, falling back to posix_fallocate() if it's available (at the moment Mac OS X doesn't provide posix_fallocate()). On any other UNIX system, it uses posix_fallocate() if it's available. Any other system not providing this system call or any function to pre-allocate space for files, this operation always fails with the ENOTSUP POSIX error.
