2010-02-10Change erts/etc/unix/Install.src to explicitly set exit code to 0 at the end ↵Kenji Rikitake
of the script This patch will ensure the Install.src script to exit with the exit code 0 when the execution finished at the end of the script. Originally from FreeBSD port patch.
2010-02-10Fix the shell operator bug of "==" to "=" in erts/configure.inKenji Rikitake
In UNIX test command, "==" is incorrect for string comparison; "=" is the right operator. Originally pointed out by Giacomo Olgeni in the following article: http://www.erlang.org/pipermail/erlang-patches/2008-November/000334.html and available as a FreeBSD port patch. Accordingly fixed in erts/configure.in

2010-02-10Merge branch 'pan/enable_m32_build' into ccase/r13b04_devErlang/OTP
* pan/enable_m32_build: Teach configure --enable-m32-build for forcing a 32-bit build OTP-8415 configure learned the option --enable-m32-build to force the building of a 32-bit run-time on systems where the default C compiler generates 64-bit executables by default.
2010-02-10Merge branch 'rani/inet_gethostbyname_fixes' into ccase/r13b04_devErlang/OTP
* rani/inet_gethostbyname_fixes: inet_res_SUITE: testcase fixes for legacy DNS resolver (Solaris 8) inet_res: /etc/resolv.conf: use domain as default search list inet: delayed/avoided read of /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/hosts inet_gethost_native: workaround for empty result hostname on MacOS X inet_res_SUITE: testcase fix for empty domain name inet:gethostbyname improved to parse IP strings and look up own hostname OTP-8426 The resolver routines failed to look up the own node name as hostname, if the OS native resolver was erroneously configured, bug reported by Yogish Baliga, now fixed. The resolver routines now tries to parse the hostname as an IP string as most OS resolvers do, unless the native resolver is used. The DNS resolver inet_res and file resolver inet_hosts now do not read OS configuration files until they are needed. Since the native resolver is default, in most cases they are never needed. The DNS resolver's automatic updating of OS configuration file data (/etc/resolv.conf) now uses the 'domain' keyword as default search domain if there is no 'search' keyword.
2010-02-09OTP-8427 Removed spurious options to the emulator from escript.Håkan Mattsson
2010-02-09inet:gethostbyname improved to parse IP strings and look up own hostnameRaimo Niskanen
Now inet:gethostbyname tries to parse the hostname as an IP string first if the 'native' lookup method is not used. One can also make the IP string parsing explicit using the new 'string' lookup method, or avoid it using the new pseudo lookup method 'nostring'. In R13B04 a bug was introduced when the gethostbyname code was rewritten, so if the native resolver was used and misconfigured to not be able to look up the own hostname, inet:gethostbyname also failed. This is now fixed.

2010-02-08OTP-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.
2010-02-06Fix hipe memory allocation problems on darwin/amd64Geoff Cant
HiPE on amd64 needs to be able to allocate memory in the 0x20000000+ range so that compiled code will be addressable with 32bit pointers (when sign extended). By default, when building 64bit executables on OS X, PAGEZERO occupies the first 4GB of virtual memory. The PAGEZERO segment cannot be mmap(ed) or vm_allocate(d) into. To avoid this problem we use the -pagezero_size linker flag to reduce the size of PAGEZERO and free up the 0x20000000+ space.
2010-02-06Porting x86 darwin fixes to amd64 darwin hipe asm/m4 codeGeoff Cant
Compared to GNU as, Mac OS X's assembler uses different directives for text and global sections, and omits type and size directives entirely. We also need to mangle symbol names in order to allow linking with C object files.

* mp/hipe-smp-fixes: work around hipe_mfa_info_table lock omission fix hipe loader SMP non-atomicity error OTP-8397 The loading of native code was not properly atomic in the SMP emulator, which could cause crashes. Also a per-MFA information table for the native code has now been protected with a lock since it turns that it could be accessed concurrently in the SMP emulator. (Thanks to Mikael Pettersson.)
2010-01-27work around hipe_mfa_info_table lock omissionMikael Pettersson
HiPE maintains per-MFA information such as native code entry point in a table. This table was thought to be read-only at runtime, except when the loader populates it, so it employed no locking. That turned out to be incorrect: if there is an apply of a previously unseen MFA, a native code stub for that MFA is created and recorded in the table, causing it to grow. Work around this for now by slapping a mutex around accesses to that table. Signed-off-by: Mikael Pettersson <[email protected]>

2010-01-27OTP-8387 Explicit top directories in archive files are now optional.Håkan Mattsson
For example, if an archive (app-vsn.ez) just contains an app-vsn/ebin/mod.beam file, the file info for the app-vsn and app-vsn/ebin directories are faked using the file info from the archive file as origin. The virtual direcories can also be listed. For short, the top directories are virtual if they does not exist.
2010-01-26OTP-8343 The documentation is now possible to build in an open sourceLars G Thorsen
environment after a number of bugs are fixed and some features are added in the documentation build process. - The arity calculation is updated. - The module prefix used in the function names for bif's are removed in the generated links so the links will look like http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/erlang.html#append_element-2 instead of http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/erlang.html#erlang:append_element-2 - Enhanced the menu positioning in the html documentation when a new page is loaded. - A number of corrections in the generation of man pages (thanks to Sergei Golovan) - Moved some man pages to more apropriate sections, pages in section 4 moved to 5 and pages in 6 moved to 7. - The legal notice is taken from the xml book file so OTP's build process can be used for non OTP applications.

In the erlang-questions thread "os:timestamp() uses mutex lock" Jonas Falkevik questioned the need for a mutex lock in os:timestamp/0. The mutex lock *is* needed in erlang:now() to guarantee the uniqueness of the returned time, but serves no useful purpose in os:timestamp(). Signed-off-by: Tuncer Ayaz <[email protected]>

2010-01-20epmd tests: fix build of test suites on WindowsBjörn Gustavsson
On Windows, the ERL_TOP environment variable contains a path that only is valid for cygwin-enabled programs, such as 'make'. It is not meaningful to pass the value of $ERL_TOP in the -I option to the Erlang compiler, because the Erlang emulator does not interpret cygwin paths correctly. Therefore, -include("test_server.hrl") will fail to find test_server.hrl. Work around the problem by creating an Emakefile and let ts:run() take care of the build (ts:run() will set up the include path so that test_server.hrl can be found).

* bg/compiler-beam_validator: beam_validator: fix incorrect assumptions about GC guard BIFs OTP-8378 In rare circumstances when using garbaging collecting guard BIFs, the validation pass (beam_validator) would signal that the code was unsafe, when it in fact was correct. (Thanks to Kiran Khaladkar.)
2010-01-18Fix annoying failing statistics_SUITE test casesBjörn Gustavsson
In an SMP emulator, two of the test cases in statistics_SUITE frequently fail. Remove the runtime_zero_update/1 test case, because you can't really expect an SMP emulator not to spend any CPU time at all even if no Erlang process is active. Adjust the runtime_update/1 test case to not fail if the measured times are note close enough. It will still fail if statistics(runtime) would fail or return the wrong type.
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.
2010-01-15beam_validator: fix incorrect assumptions about GC guard BIFsBjörn Gustavsson
The beam_validator pass incorrectly assumes that a GC guard BIF (such as length/1) may first do a garbage collection and then fail. That assumption is not correct (guards BIF only do garbage collection when it is known that the BIF call will succeed), and will cause the compiler to reject valid programs. Modify the beam_validator to assume that if the branch is taken for a gc_bif instruction, all registers are unchanged and no garbage collection has occurred. Also add a comment in the emulator about that assumption.

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.
