2016-08-31dialyzer: Increase time limit of suitesHans Bolinder
The test 'proper' takes some time.

2016-07-26Improve format_warning/1 specBrujo Benavides
Let it handle `dial_warning()` input as well, to match what `format_warning/2` expects.
2016-07-04dialyzer: Suppress warns on generated case stmtsMagnus Lång
Warnings about clauses that cannot match and are also compiler generated are suppressed unless none of the clauses return. This feature is useful for non-Erlang BEAM languages (such as Elixir) that compile to Erlang and expand certain language constructs into case statements. In that case, as long as the language construct can succeed, these warnings are undesired and appear spurious to users that do not check the Erlang code that their program expands into. Thanks to José Valim for the test (slightly modified).

2016-06-28erl_types: Normalise X:=none() pairs in t_map/3Magnus Lång
t_map/3 previously required callers to perform this normalisation, but as t_from_form/5 would sometimes fail to do so, this requirement is relaxed. Bug (ERL-177) reported and shrunk by Luke Imhoff.

* stavros/dialyzer/fix_call_site_analysis/OTP-13655/PR-1092: Fix a bug in Dialyzer related to call-site analysis
2016-06-08Fix a bug in Dialyzer related to call-site analysisStavros Aronis
Dialyzer's "dataflow" module is using information from the callgraph to determine which functions may be called at a particular call-site. Unfortunately this information can include functions that are certainly not among the possible choices. We don't want to emit warnings in such cases, so a "reasonable" compromise is to stay silent if there are many possible funs and at least one of them can succeed. Bug reported by Dan Gudmundsson, test shrunk down by Magnus Lång.

2016-05-13Fix dependency calculation when encountering an erroneous 'apply'Kostis Sagonas
Dialyzer's dependency calculation was throwing an error when encountering an 'apply' node with something that was not a variable (e.g., a literal). The rest of the code did not know what to do with this error, which resulted in dialyzer crashing. Fix this by ingoring the detected error in the dependency calculation phase; later dialyzer passes know how to properly handle and report this kind of errors anyway. This fixes [Erlang-JIRA] (ERL-138).

2016-05-04Declare the erl_types:var_table() type as opaqueKostis Sagonas
and do the following changes: in erl_types: export the type and an appropriate constructor for it in dialyzer_contracts: perform all necessary code modifications to fix all dialyzer warnings Although no warnings are reported by dialyzer, it's quite possible that these are not the only places where the opacity of the var_table() data structure is violated. But I decided to leave these places for a better version of dialyzer to discover...

2016-04-29dialyzer: Fix a bug in the translation of forms to typesHans Bolinder
A bug is fixed, but there are more problems. Modify erl_types.erl like this: -define(EXPAND_LIMIT, 500). and bogus warnings are output (again). Callbacks and specs are compared (subtype) in dialyzer_behaviour. If they are expanded to different depths, then invalid warnings can be generated.
2016-04-28erl_types: Don't consider opaque keys singletonMagnus Lång
Opaque singleton keys have the unfortunate property, unlike any other singleton type, to overlap with other singleton types that do not have the same internal representation. Therefore, we must not keep opaque singletons in the Pairs list in a map type.
2016-04-28erl_types: Fix t_subtract/2 correctness bugMagnus Lång
t_subtract/2 would break its postcondition by always returning the underapproximation none() when given a variable on the right hand side. This broke map type parsing, since it relied on t_subtract/2 to tell it when map keys would shadow each other.
2016-04-28erl_types: Fix crash merging maps with opaque keysMagnus Lång
Opaque keys in maps broke an assumption in erl_types:mapmerge_otherv/3 (that the infinimum of a singleton type and some other type would either be none() or that same singleton type), causing a case_clause crash.
2016-04-28dialyzer_typesig: Fix bad external typeMagnus Lång
28a4a5057ab9 mistakenly used the non-existing type cerl:tree() instead of cerl:cerl().
2016-04-28dialyzer: Fix another pattern literal bugMagnus Lång
dialyzer_typesig:traverse/3 would perform an unsafe optimisation when given a cons pattern that contained a map and could be folded into a literal with cerl:fold_literal/1. In this case, when traversing the map a type variable would be generated, but this variable would be dropped by the erl_types:t_cons/2 constructor by in turn calling t_sup(), producing the overapproximation any(). However, in this particular case, dialyzer_typesig:traverse/3 is not allowed to overapproximate, since its result is used in an EQ-constraint. Although erl_types:t_tuple/1 does not overapproximate like t_cons/2, which makes the bug unlikely to affect tuples too, the fix was nevertheless applied defensively to the case of tuples as well. Also, fix a bug where dialyzer_utils:refold_pattern/1 would generate syntax nodes with two {label, _} attributes.
2016-04-28Bump Dialyzer versionMagnus Lång
Because the type representation has changed, old PLTs are not compatible. We update the version to 2.10 because of this.
2016-04-28dialyzer: Improve map pattern typesettingMagnus Lång
2016-04-28dialyzer_contracts: Consider #{} a violationMagnus Lång
This is analogous to the case of nil. Since #{} is a base-case of almost all map types, contract and success typing sharing #{} does not mean much, and is often sign of a violation.
2016-04-28dialyzer_typesig: Fix simplification bugMagnus Lång
mk_constraint_list/2 was simplifying (C OR TriviallyTrue) to (C), which is obviously wrong.
2016-04-28dialyzer_dataflow: Fix try in guardsMagnus Lång
The assumption that 'try' nodes were only used to wrap entire guards is no longer true. We're still swallowing warnings when the handler returns successfully. Unfortunately, bind_guard/5 would need to be refactored to return a new state in order to generate those warnings.
2016-04-28dialyzer: Unfold cerl patterns containing mapsMagnus Lång
Dialyzer relies heavily on the assumption that the type of a literal that is used as a pattern is the type of any value that can match that pattern. For maps, that is not true, and it was causing bad analysis results. A new help function dialyzer_utils:refold_pattern/1 identifies maps in literal patterns, and unfolds and labels them, allowing them to be properly analysed.

2016-04-28Enhance map specs in erts, stdlib, runtime_toolsMagnus Lång
Using the new type syntax, we can specify which keys are required, and which are optional in a way Dialyzer could use.

2016-04-28erl_types: Add a map type representationMagnus Lång
The type of a map is represented as a three-tuple {Pairs, DefaultKey, DefaultValue}. DefaultKey and DefaultValue are types. Pairs is a list of three-tuples {Key, mandatory | optional, Value}, where Key and Value are types. All types Key must be singleton, or "known at compile time," as the EEP put it. Examples: #{integer()=>list()} {[], integer(), list()} #{a=>char(), b=>atom()} {[{a, optional, char()}, {b, optional, atom()}], none(), none()} map() {[], any(), any()} A more formal description of the representation and its invariants can be found in erl_types.erl Special thanks to Daniel S. McCain (@dsmccain) that co-authored a very early version of this with me back in April 2014, although only the singleton type logic remains from that version.
