Add an option that atomically tests for the existence of a file and
creates it if the file does not exist, by passing the O_EXCL flag
to open() on Unix and CREATE_NEW flag on Windows. Support for O_EXCL
varies across platforms and filesystems.
{ok, Fd} = file:open("/tmp/foo", [write,exclusive]),
{error, eexist} = file:open("/tmp/foo", [write,exclusive]).

erlang:system_info(multi_scheduling) sometimes erroneously returned enabled
when it should have returned blocked.
|
|
Alignment of scheduler data and run queues were adjusted.
|
|
The runtime system will by default bind schedulers to logical processors
using the default_bind bind type if the amount of schedulers are at least
equal to the amount of logical processors configured, binding of schedulers
is supported, and a CPU topology is available at startup.
NOTE: If the Erlang runtime system is the only operating system process
that binds threads to logical processors, this improves the performance of
the runtime system. However, if other operating system processes (as for
example another Erlang runtime system) also bind threads to logical
processors, there might be a performance penalty instead. If this is the
case you, are are advised to unbind the schedulers using the <seealso
marker="erl#+sbt">+sbtu</seealso> command line argument, or by invoking
<seealso
marker="erlang#system_flag_scheduler_bind_type">erlang:system_flag(schedule
r_bind_type, unbound)</seealso>.

* origin/pan/otp_8579_autoimport_override:
Update preloaded modules

Return nowarn_bif_clash functionality but with warning
Teach erl_lint to better override BIFs with local functions and imports
Teach compiler to override autoimport with import
First prototype for local functions overriding autoimported
OTP-8579 Local functions should override auto-imported
Local and imported functions now override the autoimported
BIFs when the names clash. The pre R14 behaviour was that
autoimported BIFs would override local functions. To avoid
that old programs change behaviour, the following will
generate an error:
Doing a call without explicit module name to a local function
having a name clashing with the name of an autoimported BIF
that was present (and autoimported) before OTP R14A
Explicitly importing a function having a name clashing with
the name of an autoimported BIF that was present (and
autoimported) before OTP R14A Using any form of the old
compiler directive nowarn_bif_clash
If the BIF was added or autoimported in OTP R14A or later,
overriding it with an import or a local function will only
result in a warning,
To resolve clashes, you can either use the explicit module
name erlang to call the BIF, or you can remove the autoimport
of that specific BIF by using the new compiler directive
-compile({no_auto_import,[F/A]})., which makes all calls to
the local or imported function without explicit module name
pass without warnings or errors.
The change makes it possible to add autoimported BIFs without
breaking or silently changing old code in the future. However
some current code ingeniously utilizing the old behaviour or
the nowarn_bif_clash compiler directive, might need changing
to be accepted by the compiler.

OTP-8654 sv/socket-error-portability

Remove redundant "!defined(__WIN32__)". It is used inside
the #else branch of a "#ifdef __WIN32__", so it serves no
useful purpose except to fool unsuspecting readers.

On some combinations of Montavista Linux running on Cavium Octeon
chips, some socket-related system calls erroneously return negative
numbers other than -1 to indicate errors, but inet_drv.c specifically
compares against -1 to test for errors. The result is that beam dumps
core due to the code treating these negative numbers as success
indicators, as counts/offsets of bytes written, etc. thereby
corrupting its own internal data structures.
To fix this, introduce a portability macro to test the result of
socket system calls. The test remains unchanged on Windows but for
other platforms the macro considers all return values that are less
than zero to be errors.
Though POSIX specifies that errors from these system calls are
indicated by a return value of -1, treating all negative return values
as errors is also safe, as described in detail below. In networking
programming, treating all negative return values from system calls as
errors is very common practice -- see the examples in W. Richard
Stevens's popular and highly lauded network programming books, for
example.
For system calls that return 0 to indicate success, treating all
negative numbers as errors is safe because only 0 is specified to
indicate success. These include:
getsockname
getpeername
getsockopt
gethostname
bind
listen
connect
close
shutdown
Likewise, for system calls that return non-negative numbers to
indicate success, treating all negative numbers as errors is also
safe. These functions typically return signed integers of type
ssize_t, and they treat any parameters of type size_t that cannot fit
within the ssize_t return value, such as numbers of bytes to read or
write, as errors (specifically EINVAL). For example, in the "ERRORS"
section of the man page for writev from several varieties of Linux, it
states that EINVAL is returned when the total length of the I/O is
more than can be expressed by the ssize_t return value.
These calls include:
recv
recvfrom
recvmsg
writev
send
sendto
sendmsg
Finaly, the socket() system call is also similar to these in that it
returns a signed type (int) with all non-negative return values
indicating success, so treating all negative return values as errors
is safe.

A misbehaving port program that does not read all data written to the port
may deadlock the scheduler thread when it calls port_close. The chosen solution
was to use the new function CancelIoEx if it exist (Vista) otherwise let the
spawn driver wait for a short while (10ms) and then to spawn a thread that will
wait for the port program to exit.

Add new NIF API functions
- enif_make_atom_len
- enif_make_existing_atom_len
- enif_make_string_len
These are basically the same as enif_make_atom,
enif_make_existing_atom and enif_make_string except that the
new functions require a length parameter instead of a
null-terminated C-string.

While binary_to_term/2 was added in R13B04, it wasn't auto-imported. This
conformed to longstanding policy of not changing auto-imports between major
versions. This patch contains changes to auto-import binary_to_term/2 to
coincide with the release of R14.

Useful for informing the Operating System about the access pattern
for a file's data, so that it can adapt the caching strategy to
maximize disk IO performance.
|
|
file:datasync/1 invokes the POSIX system call "int fdatasync(int fd)".
This system call is similar to "fsync" but, unlike fsync, it does not
update the metadata associated with the file (like the access time for
example). It's used by many DBMSs (MySQL and SQLite of example) to
increase disk IO performance, as it avoids disk seeks and disk write
operations compared to fsync.
More details on it at:
http://linux.die.net/man/2/fdatasync
An example, from the MySQL source:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mysql/mysql-server/mysql-5.1-telco-6.1/annotate/head%3A/mysys/my_sync.c#L61
This new function just calls fsync on systems not implementing fdatasync.

The get_int64() macro has never been used (it was probably added
for completeness at the same time that put_int64() was added),
but it was not actually used and therefore it does not actually
work.

put_literal/2 was an experimental instruction added in R11 to
support literals, but before the R12 release support for literals
was implemented for all instruction, making the put_literal/2
instruction redundant. Although the beam_disasm module supports
dissambley of instructions in older releases, there is
no reason to have it support experimental instructions.
|
|
The last compiler to generate code that uses the bs_bits_to_bytes/3
instruction was the R11 compiler. Since we don't support loading
R11 *.beam files in R14, removing the remaining support for the
instruction.
|
|
Since R12B, empty tuples are literals. Thus the compiler will no
longer generate the instruction:
put_tuple 0 Destination
for creating an empty tuple. It is now time to stop supporting
that instruction in the run-time system.
While we are at it, correct a typo.
