In particular fix handling of records.
|
|
The -dialyzer() attribute can be used for suppressing warnings in a
module by specifying functions or warning options. It can also be used
for requesting warnings in a module.

dialyzer: fix a -Wunderspecs bug
|
|
Sometimes bogus warnings were generated for parametrized types.
Thanks to Krzesimir Sarnecki for pointing the bug out.
Also corrected warnings where the structure of opaque types were
exposed (thanks to Kostis for pointing the bug out).

* maint:
hipe: fix a bug concerning typed record fields
|
|
When checking typed record fields Dialyzer failed to handle
types containing remote types.
Thanks to Erik Søe Sørensen for reporting this bug.

Guard constraints used to be limited to a certain depth, which handled
mutually depending constraints safely, but also sometimes introduced
unnecessary generalizations.
This patch puts no explicit limit upon guard constraints (other than
those that already exist in erl_types), but breaks cycles by replacing
variables with the any() type.
In some cases the old method resulted in more warnings, but since the
limit was quite arbitrary and mutually depending guard constraints are
(very) rare, the new method should been seen as an improvement since
it handles cases that used to make Dialyzer loop or miss warnings.

The types array(), dict(), digraph(), gb_set(), gb_tree(), queue(),
set(), and tid() have been deprecated. They will be removed in OTP 18.0.
Instead the types array:array(), dict:dict(), digraph:graph(),
gb_set:set(), gb_tree:tree(), queue:queue(), sets:set(), and ets:tid()
can be used. (Note: it has always been necessary to use ets:tid().)
It is allowed in OTP 17.0 to locally re-define the types array(), dict(),
and so on.
New types array:array/1, dict:dict/2, gb_sets:set/1, gb_trees:tree/2,
queue:queue/1, and sets:set/1 have been added.

Handle immediate opaque types as aliases:
A declaration of dict/0
-opaque dict() :: dict(_, _).
-opaque dict(Key, Value) :: ...
is handled as an alias, that is, when using dict() it is immediately
replaced by dict(_, _).
This is a means to avoid having to handle equivalent opaque types
later. To be changed if it doesn't work well.

It is now OK to inspect and modify the internals of opaque types within
the scope of the module.
The contracts are used for decorating types with opaqueness when it is
harmless to do so. The opaqueness is propagated by the typesig module
and also by the dataflow module.
A lot of details have been fixed or updated. In particular the modules
erl_types and erl_bif_types have been modified extensively.
The version in vsn.mk has been updated to 2.7. The reason is a
modification of #opaque{} in erl_types.
Dialyzer seems to be about five percent slower than it used to be.

The function name can give information that the line number doesn't,
for example when using a parse transform that creates new functions.

This patch enables Dialyzer to detect cases where a function has a specification
for a return type containing some list with elements different than the ones
Dialyzer's own algorithm can infer e.g. a function specified to return [atom()]
when actually [[atom()]] is returned.
Previously Dialyzer remained silent, under normal operation, seeing that these
two types have the empty list as a common element, so they were not 'completely
irrelevant'.

Variables in contracts can either be true type variables or simply names for
types thet are defined in the 'when' clauses. Consider the following example:
-spec foo(X, Options) -> {ok, X} | error when Options :: [{atom(), boolean()}].
Here X is a true variable whereas Options is a name for a type that is defined
in the when clause.
'when' clauses may further use names on the right side. These were not treated
properly by Dialyzer and could be generalized to the term() type. This patch
fixes this issue.
A further issue is the treatment of true type variables, but this is left for
another patch.

Dialyzer emits warnings like the following "The specification for _
states that the function might also return _ but the inferred return
is _", which are actually underspecifications and not wrong type
specifications. This patch makes sure that they are filed under the
appropriate category.

Nested list comprehensions are translated into strongly connected
funs but dialyzer ignored this. This meant that self-recursive
analysis was normally executed for each fun and the whole fixpoint
took some time to calculate. This patch adds every fun found in
constraint generation to the SCC that is under analysis and then
solves the SCC as a whole.
Possible issues:
- The returned dict contains more entries than usual. This
triggered a bug in contract checking that is dealt with is
this patch as well (dialyzer_contracts.erl).
- As it's not easy to tell apart real fun SCCs from simple funs it
performance might be hampered in the simple funs case.
While doing these changes, also added and strengthened some specs.
In addition, incorporated a modified patch by Ahmed Omar that fixes
a bug in dialyzer_analysis_callgraph module that kept the files of
only one selected directory in dialyzer's GUI.
