2017-02-21	encode/decode: Include the stack trace in error returns	Björn Gustavsson
	The generated encode/2 and decode/2 functions can return cryptic error messages. Consider this ASN.1 spec: T DEFINITIONS AUTOMATIC TAGS ::= BEGIN S ::= SEQUENCE { b BOOLEAN, i INTEGER (1..100), j INTEGER (0..7), s OCTET STRING } END In OTP 19, the error terms will look like this: Eshell V8.2 (abort with ^G) 1> asn1ct:compile('T', [ber]). ok 2> rr('T'). ['S'] 3> 'T':encode('S', #'S'{}). {error,{asn1,{encode_boolean,undefined}}} 4> 'T':encode('S', #'S'{b=false}). {error,{asn1,{encode_integer,undefined}}} 5> 'T':encode('S', #'S'{b=false,i=7,j=0}). {error,{asn1,function_clause}} Some error terms are clearer than other. In the first error term, it is clear that the error refers to the 'b' field, since there is only one BOOLEAN in 'S'. The second error term could refer to either 'i' or 'j'. The last error term... well... in this case we can infer that it must refer to 's'. The easiest way to provide more information is to include the stack trace with line numbers in the error term: 3> 'T':encode('S', #'S'{b=false}). {error,{asn1,{{encode_integer,undefined}, [{'T',encode_integer,2,[{file,"T.erl"},{line,240}]}, {'T',enc_S,2,[{file,"T.erl"},{line,102}]}, {'T',encode,2,[{file,"T.erl"},{line,36}]}, {erl_eval,do_apply,6,[{file,"erl_eval.erl"},{line,674}]}, {shell,exprs,7,[{file,"shell.erl"},{line,686}]}, {shell,eval_exprs,7,[{file,"shell.erl"},{line,641}]}, {shell,eval_loop,3,[{file,"shell.erl"},{line,626}]}]}}} By looking at the generated Erlang code, we can see that encoding failed for 'i'. This is an compatible change. All that the documentation says is that the format of the error tuple is: {error,{asn1,Description}} With this change, Description is always a tuple: {ErrorDescription,StackTrace} Alternatives considered: Providing more information in the error term itself and make sure there can be no 'function_clause', 'badarg', or 'badmatch' exceptions. That would be possible, but it would require a lot of work and it would increase the size of the generated code and make it slower. Therefore, this solution was rejected.

2014-09-29	BER decoding: Don't allow primitives with indefinite lengths	Björn Gustavsson
	According to the BER encoding rules, only constructed values may have indefinite lengths. A primitive value must be encoded with a definite length. Reported-by: Simon Cornish
2014-08-11	BER decoding: Improve error checking for indefinite length	Björn Gustavsson
	When an indefinite length was given, the decoder could look beyond the end of the buffer for the 0,0 that signals the end of the value.
2013-09-18	Eliminate the use of asn1_wrapper	Björn Gustavsson
	The asn1_wrapper made some sense when encode functions could either produce a list or a binary, depending on the backend. Now encode functions always produce a binary. To improve readbility of the test suites, eliminate the asn1_wrapper functions by replacing them with calls to one of the roundtrip functions in asn1_test_lib. When it is not possible to use the roundtrip functions, call the module in question directly. While at it, also remove ?line macros that are near to the touched code and use asn1_test_lib:hex_to_bin/1 instead of home-brewn hex conversion routines.

2013-01-22	Correct error handling for the NIF functions	Björn Gustavsson
	Also make sure that the error handling is contained within the asn1rt_nif module and does not leak out to generated code.

2010-03-16	Merge branch 'bg/asn1-tests' into dev	Erlang/OTP
	* bg/asn1-tests: asn1 tests: Let ts:run() build the tests asn1 tests: No longer tolerate compilation warnings asn1 tests: Eliminate use of deprecated concat_binary/1 asn1 tests: Eliminate warning for an unused variable asn1 tests: Modernize guard tests asn1 tests: Clean up comments asn1 tests: Don't refer to $ERL_TOP in compiler options OTP-8520 bg/asn1-tests
2010-03-11	asn1 tests: Don't refer to $ERL_TOP in compiler options	Björn Gustavsson
	On Windows, $ERL_TOP contains a cygwin-style pathname that can be used in Makefiles to (for instance) include other Makefiles, but must not be passed to non-cygwin programs such as "erlc". Therefore, using compiler options such as "-I $(ERL_TOP)/lib/test_server/include" will not work on Windows. Fix this problem by include "test_server.hrl" using -include_lib() instead of -include(). That works because -include_lib() searches for include files in the code path without the need for any -I options.
2010-02-19	OTP-8463 Support for EXTENSIBILITY IMPLIED and SET/SEQ OF NamedType is	Kenneth Lundin
	added.
