erlang:get_stacktrace/0 returns the stacktrace for the latest
exception. The problem is that the stacktrace is kept until the next
exception occurs. If the last exception was a 'function_clause' or a
'badarg', the arguments for the call are also kept forever. The
arguments can be terms of any size (potentially huge).
In a future release, we would like to only allow
erlang:get_stacktrace/0 from within a 'try' expression. That would
make it possible to clear the stacktrace when the 'try' expression is
exited.
The 'catch' expression has no natural end where the stacktrace could
be cleared. The stacktrace could be cleared at the end of the function
that the 'catch' occurs in, but that would cause problems in the
following scenario (from real life, but simplified):
try
...
catch _:_ ->
io:format(...),
io:format("~p\n", [erlang:get_stacktrace()])
end.
%% In io.erl.
format(Fmt, Args) ->
Res = case ... of
SomePattern ->
catch...
...;
SomeOtherPattern ->
%% Output the formatted string here
...
end,
clear_stacktrace(), %% Inserted by compiler.
Res.
The call to io:format() would always clear the stacktrace before
it could be retrieved.
That problem could be solved by tightning the scope in which the
stacktrace is kept, but the rules for how long erlang:get_stacktrace/0
would work would become complicated.
Therefore, the solution we suggest for a future major release of
OTP is that erlang:get_stacktrace/0 will return [] if it is called
outside the 'catch' part of a 'try' expression.
To help users prepare, introduce a warning when it is likely that
erlang:get_stacktrace/0 will always return an empty list, for example
in this code:
catch error(foo),
Stk = erlang:get_stacktrace()
or in this code:
try Expr
catch _:_ -> ok end,
Stk = erlang:get_stacktrace()

Correct description of nowarn_obsolete_guard
By default, warnings for obsolete guards are turned on. Correct the description to make that clear.

The new Dbgi chunk returns data in the following format:
{debug_info_v1, Backend, Data}
This allows compilers to store the debug info in different
formats. In order to retrieve a particular format, for
instance, Erlang Abstract Format, one may invoke:
Backend:debug_info(erlang_v1, Module, Data, Opts)
Besides introducing the chunk above, this commit also:
* Changes beam_lib:chunk(Beam, [:abstract_code]) to
read from the new Dbgi chunk while keeping backwards
compatibility with old .beams
* Adds the {debug_info, {Backend, Data}} option to
compile:file/2 and friends that are stored in the
Dbgi chunk. This allows the debug info encryption
mechanism to work across compilers
* Improves dialyzer to work directly on Core Erlang,
allowing languages that do not have the Erlang
Abstract Format to be dialyzer as long as they emit
the new chunk and their backend implementation is
available
Backwards compatibility is kept across the board except
for those calling beam_lib:chunk(Beam, ["Abst"]), as the
old chunk is no longer available. Note however the "Abst"
chunk has always been optional.
Future OTP versions may remove parsing the "Abst" chunk
altogether from beam_lib once Erlang 19 and earlier is no
longer supported.
The current Dialyzer implementation still supports earlier
.beam files and such may also be removed in future versions.

This allow languages such as Elixir and LFE to attach
extra chunks to the .beam file without having to parse
the beam file after compilation.
This commit also cleans up the interface to beam_asm,
allowing chunks to be passed from the compiler without
a need to change beam_asm API on every new chunk.

Add the option 'deterministic' to make it easier to
achieve reproducible builds.
This option omits the {options,...} and {source,...} tuples in
M:module_info(compile), because those options may contain absolute
paths.
The author of ERL-310 suggested that only compiler options that
may contain absolute paths (such as {i,...}) should be excluded. But I
find it confusing to keep only some options.
Alternatives considered: Always omitting this information. Since this
information has been available for a long time, that would probably
break some workflows. As an example that some people care about
{source,...}, 2d785c07fbf9 made it possible to give a compiler option
to set {source,...}.

The deprecation of the built-in types dict/0 and so on had as
side-effect that it was impossible to switch to dict:dict/2 and so on
without getting warnings either in the the previous release (R16B) or
the current one (17.0).
By including the attribute
-compile(nowarn_deprecated_type).
in an Erlang source file warnings about deprecated types can be
avoided in 17.0.
The option can also be given as a compiler flag:
erlc +nowarn_deprecated_type file.erl

erlc is wired to treat *.core files as core and build them as
compile:file(File, [from_core]), but this is not documented. There's
also an udocumented compile:file/2 option called 'from_core'. This has
been in place and in use for a long time. Therefore, it should be
supported officially.
To fix that, make the following changes:
* document erlc handling of *.core files
* document 'from_core'

erlc is wired to treat *.S files as assembler and build them as
compile:file(File, [from_asm]), but this is not documented. There's also
a documented compile:file/2 option called 'asm' (mapping to 'from_asm'),
but the wording discourages its use. All of this has been in place and
in use for a long time. Therefore, it should be supported officially.
To fix that, make the following changes:
* document erlc handling of *.core files
* un-document 'asm' and document 'from_asm' instead
* deprecate 'asm'
While at it, fix a minor typo in the test suite.

This patch introduces the no_auto_import attribute:
-compile(no_auto_import).
Useful for code generation tools that always use the
qualified function names and want to avoid the auto
imported functions clashing with local ones.
Implementation wise, we chose to have a special flag
'all' to avoid doing many set lookups when checking for
suppression.
