2009-12-14Merge branch 'bg/on_load' into ccase/r13b04_devErlang/OTP
* bg/on_load: Test on_load functions that don't return 'ok' Change the expected return value for on_load functions OTP-8339 The expected return value for an on_load function has been changed. (See the section about code loading in the Reference manual.)

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.
2009-12-11OTP-8323 Miscellaneous cross compilation improvements. For example, oneRickard Green
new mandatory configuration variable that replaces all other previously mandatory configuration variables, and better documentation. Note that old cross compilation configurations cannot be used without modifications. For more information see the $ERL_TOP/xcomp/README file.
2009-12-11Merge branch 'bg/slimmer-history' into ccase/r13b04_devErlang/OTP
* bg/slimmer-history: beam_makepos: Do not put any dates in generated files compiler: Teach 'slim' to omit compilation info
2009-12-09beam_makepos: Do not put any dates in generated filesBjörn Gustavsson
We don't want to have dates in files that are checked-in as part of the bootstrap compiler (such as beam_opcodes.{erl,hrl}) as a new version will be created every time.

2009-12-09OTP-8304 Incompatible changes in the experimental NIF feature. Changed theSverker Eriksson
NIF function prototypes in order to allow more than 3 function arguments. Also an incompatible change in the return value of erlang:load_nif/2. Added support for references, floats and term comparison in NIFs. Read more in the documentation of erl_nif and erlang:load_nif/2.

The correct value for the second argument to erlang:split_binary/2 (Pos) is 0, not 1.
2009-12-04Merge branch 'mh/to_erl-error-messages' into ccase/r13b04_devErlang/OTP
* mh/to_erl-error-messages: to_erl: Include strerror(errno) in error messages OTP-8325 to_erl will now include the system error string in error messages to make it easier to understand what the real problem is. (Thanks to Magnus Henoch.)
2009-12-01erlc_SUITE: Handle new formatting of warningsBjörn Gustavsson
The MIB compiler in the snmp applications formats its warnings slightly differently, so we'll need to update the regexp that should match the expected output.
2009-11-30Merge branch 'ks/dialyzer-wx-fix' into ccase/r13b04_devErlang/OTP
* ks/dialyzer-wx-fix: dialyzer: make -wx always start the SMP emulator
2009-11-29Fix glitches when native code modules are usedBjörn Gustavsson
The erlang:make_stub_module/3 BIF (which is only used for loading native code) does not zero the word that points out an on_load routine (if any). As that word most proably will contain a non-zero value, the erlang:module_loaded/1 BIF will think that the module has an on_load routine which has not returned and will always return 'false'. That in turns causes various problems for the native code test cases.
2009-11-28to_erl: Include strerror(errno) in error messagesMagnus Henoch
to_erl likes to print the message "No running Erlang on pipe ...", no matter what the problem actually was. The wording might make you forget that you just need to run to_erl as another user, for example. With this change, to_erl will print the system error message in addition to its own. Example output: No running Erlang on pipe pipes/erlang.pipe.5: Permission denied (wrong user, wrong permissions, etc) No running Erlang on pipe pipes/erlang.pipe.5: No such device or address (this actually means "no running Erlang") No running Erlang on pipe pipes/erlang.pipe: No such file or directory (not only is there no running Erlang, there are also no pipes at all)
2009-11-28dialyzer: make -wx always start the SMP emulatorKostis Sagonas
The wx application will only work in the SMP emulator, so the -wx option for 'dialyzer' must force the -smp option when starting the emulator. Make sure that -wx in *any* position on the command line (not only as the first argument) forces the SMP emulator.
