2014-03-04Introduce compiler option 'nowarn_deprecated_type'Hans Bolinder
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

* josevalim/suppress-all-auto-imports: Allow all auto imports to be suppressed at once OTP-11682
2013-12-18Officially support building core filesTuncer Ayaz
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'
2013-12-18Officially support building assembler filesTuncer Ayaz
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.

2013-10-18Allow all auto imports to be suppressed at onceJosé Valim
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.

2013-09-06Change encoding of troublesome notes.xml files to utf-8Björn Gustavsson
Most notes.xml files will be updated in every release and cause the kind of the problems described in the previous commit.
2013-09-05compiler: Conform returned errors to the documented formatBjörn Gustavsson
ErrorInfo is documented to be: {ErrorLine,Module,ErrorDescriptor} but for some errors with line numbers it would look like: {Module,ErrorDescriptor} Ensure that all ErrorInfo tuples have three elements. Use 'none' instead of a line number: {none,Module,ErrorDescriptor} There already are errors that return 'none' when no line number is available, but that convention was not documented. Mention it in the documentation. Also make sure that the compiler will not print 'none' as a line number in error messages (if the 'report_errors' option is given) as that looks stupid. That is, when attempting to compile a non-existing module, the error message should be: non-existing.erl: no such file or directory and not: non-existing.erl:none: no such file or directory

Column numbers was merged without understanding all the whole story. See mail on erlang-patches for details. This reverts commit df8e67e203b83f95d1e098fec88ad5d0ad840069, reversing changes made to 0c9d90f314f364e5b1301ec89d762baabc57c7aa.

If set, compile will call epp with a full location {1, 1} instead of 1, thus making it keep the column numbers in the parsed AST.
