Notice the comment in dialyzer_utils:
%% Copied from core_pp. The function cerl:binary_segments/2 should/could
%% be extended to handle literals, but then the cerl module cannot be
%% HiPE-compiled as of Erlang/OTP 22.0 (due to <<I:N>>).
When at it: simplify some common cases like "/binary-unit:8".

The clause added for maps in commit 1a7c41be is corrected.

dialyzer: Correct a parameterized opaque types bug
|
|
See also https://bugs.erlang.org/browse/ERL-565.
To avoid loops, erl_types:t_is_subtype checks for equality using
unopaqued types, but in (at least) one case something is lost:
This fix makes sure that when forwarding arguments in dataflow, types
with different parameters but equal when unopaqued are considered
different.
For example, dict:dict(0, {}) and dict:dict(0, []) are equal when
unopaqued (due to how dict(_, _) is declared in module dict), but
should be considered different when forwarding args.

When a pattern a type do not match, opaque warnings were given
precedence before structure mismatches.
This is no longer always the case.

Messages like "Invalid type specification for function
para3:exp_adt/0. The success typing is () -> 3" now look like
"The specification for para3:exp_adt/0 has an opaque subtype
para3_adt:exp1(para3_adt:exp2()) which is violated by the success
typing () -> 3".
The old message did not give any clue as to what invalidated the
contract, namely the opaque subtype.

Messages like "The attempt to match a term of type rec_api:f()
against the variable _ breaks the opaqueness of rec_adt:f()" now
look like "The attempt to match a term of type rec_adt:f()
against the record field 'f' with type rec_api:f() breaks the
opaqueness of the term".
|
|
The "decoration" of opaque types works better than before when opaque
types are used by other opaque types.
|
|
t_from_form() sometimes returned a more general type than it should
have done due to a bug in from_form_loop(): it stopped when the limit
was exceeded, which could mean a collapsed type. Returning a type with
smaller depth should fix this.
is_specialization() now handles opaque types before unions, which
should fix another problem.

The test 'proper' takes some time.

Parameterized modules are no longer supported, so module() can only be
an atom().

Background
-----------
In record fields with a type declaration but without an initializer, the
Erlang parser inserted automatically the singleton type 'undefined' to
the list of declared types, if that value was not present there.
I.e. the record declaration:
-record(rec, {f1 :: float(),
f2 = 42 :: integer(),
f3 :: some_mod:some_typ()}).
was translated by the parser to:
-record(rec, {f1 :: float() | 'undefined',
f2 = 42 :: integer(),
f3 :: some_mod:some_typ() | 'undefined'}).
The rationale for this was that creation of a "dummy" #rec{} record
should not result in a warning from dialyzer that e.g. the implicit
initialization of the #rec.f1 field violates its type declaration.
Problems
---------
This seemingly innocent action has some unforeseen consequences.
For starters, there is no way for programmers to declare that e.g. only
floats make sense for the f1 field of #rec{} records when there is no
`obvious' default initializer for this field. (This also affects tools
like PropEr that use these declarations produced by the Erlang parser to
generate random instances of records for testing purposes.)
It also means that dialyzer does not warn if e.g. an is_atom/1 test or
something more exotic like an atom_to_list/1 call is performed on the
value of the f1 field.
Similarly, there is no way to extend dialyzer to warn if it finds record
constructions where f1 is not initialized to some float.
Last but not least, it is semantically problematic when the type of the
field is an opaque type: creating a union of an opaque and a structured
type is very problematic for analysis because it fundamentally breaks
the opacity of the term at that point.
Change
-------
To solve these problems the parser will not automatically insert the
'undefined' value anymore; instead the user has the option to choose the
places where this value makes sense (for the field) and where it does
not and insert the | 'undefined' there manually.
Consequences of this change
----------------------------
This change means that dialyzer will issue a warning for all places
where records with uninitialized fields are created and those fields have
a declared type that is incompatible with 'undefined' (e.g. float()).
This warning can be suppressed easily by adding | 'undefined' to the
type of this field. This also adds documentation that the user really
intends to create records where this field is uninitialized.

Opaque recursive parameters are expanded faster.
|
|
The example is provided by James Fish in
http://erlang.org/pipermail/erlang-questions/2014-December/082204.html.
Note that warnings with text such as "the _ variable breaks
opaqueness" are still possible.

Comparing two operands for (in)equality is allowed if both operands
are of the same unknown opaque type. Since OTP 17, there is a warning
if the types of the operands have nothing in common (this cannot
happen before OTP 17). However, the warning says there is a test
between opaque types, which is wrong. The warning now states that the
comparison cannot evaluate to 'true', which is more consistent.
|
|
In OTP 17 it is possible to mix types such as dict:dict() and
dict:dict(_, _) outside of the dict module (and similarly for some
other opaque types in STDLIB), but the results are unfortunately
possibly invalid warnings in users' code. In OTP 18 parameterized
opaque types with the same name but with different number of
parameters are no longer compatible when seen from outside of the
module where the types are declared.
The types in STDLIB have been updated accordingly; for instance
-opaque dict() :: dict(_, _).
has been replaced by
-type dict() :: dict(_, _).
|
|
The check that a modified type of a field is a subtype of the declared
type has been moved outside of the expansion of forms to avoid loops.
|
|
Replace the undocumented option 'no_unknown' with the documented
option 'unknown'.
|
|
Also fixed some cases where Dialyzer could crash due to reaching
system limits.

This ticket is about records in Erlang code, and when to check the
fields against the (optional) types given when defining records.
Dialyzer operates on the Erlang Core format, where there are no trace
of records. The fix implemented is a Real Hack:
Given the new option 'dialyzer' erl_expand_records marks the line
number of records in a way that is undone by v3_core, which in turn
inserts annotations that can be recognized by Dialyzer.

UTF-8 is now the default encoding and should no longer be
specified. These have probably been merged from maint earlier and the
coding statement was missed.

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.

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.

1. Sometimes the solver forgot that a list had entered the error
state. The bug has been fixed by storing the atom 'error' in
MapDict. An example where the bug occurred is
io_lib_pretty:printable_bin(). The returned spec was weaker than it
should have been, but the fix-point loop hid the bug (in this case).
2. lists:partition() has been substituted for lists:splitwith() in
enumerate_constraints(). This fix together with 3. solves a
problem with long execution times for deeply nested fun:s. An
example which is now much faster is
lib/compiler/test/lc_SUITE:deeply_nested/1
(included as dialyzer/test/small_SUITE_data/src/deep_lc.erl).
3. The calculation of components in enumerate_constraints() has been
simplified and optimized. The important thing here is that _all_ of
the simple constraints have been saturated before entering the
complex part.
4. The pretty printing of constraints has been improved.

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.
