2017-02-03dialyzer: Correct PLT testsHans Bolinder
Use explicit file names of PLTs so that daily builds&tests running simultaneously under the same user do not interfere with each other ("$HOME/.dialyzer_plt" is the default PLT name).

2017-02-01dialyzer: Increase time limit for testsHans Bolinder
2017-02-01dialyzer: Optimize typesigHans Bolinder
dialyzer_typesig:traverse_scc() now resets the context for each element of the SCC. Since the results of traversing the elements are saved in the 'cmap' table, there is no need to create an SCC conjunction. For huge SCCs this saves quite some time: the lift_lists() function added one element at a time, which made the calculation of deps very slow.
2017-02-01dialyzer: Optimize evaluation of complex codeHans Bolinder
Improve the evaluation of long lists of constraints.

2017-01-11dialyzer: Compact 'file' annotations in Core codeHans Bolinder
File annotations {file, File} in Core Erlang code is replaced by {file, FakeFile}, where FakeFile is "0", "1", ..., in order to save memory. When a warning message is created, FakeFile is translated to the original File (a bit awkward but easy to do). The Core code stored in ETS tables needs less space, but more important is that a less heap memory is used in the dataflow, warnings, and typesig phases, allowing more parallelism.
2017-01-11dialyzer: Try to reduce memory usageHans Bolinder
The translation from forms to types is done in a separate process in an attempt to reduce peak memory usage. Expect further optimizations as it is probably not feasible in the long run to keep all type information on the heap.
2017-01-11dialyzer: Use less memory when translating contractsHans Bolinder
2017-01-11dialyzer: Use maps instaed of dictHans Bolinder
2017-01-11dialyzer: Use maps instead of dict for module contracts mapHans Bolinder
2017-01-11dialyzer: Compress a few more ETS tablesHans Bolinder
2017-01-11dialyzer: Optimize memory consumptionHans Bolinder
Some SCC info is no longer cached. It reduces the peak memory consumption of workers during the typesig phase, and seems to cost very little time.
2017-01-11dialyzer: Reduce memory consumption during 'remote' phaseHans Bolinder
The cache used for speeding up the translation from forms to types is no longer global, but reset per module. The peak memory consumption is reduced, and the added time seems to be small.
2017-01-11dialyzer: Update code for finding parallelismHans Bolinder
Using erlang:system_info(schedulers_online) for determining parallelism is recommended by OTP experts. It takes care of "+S 4:1" and simultaneous loading of HiPE code.
2017-01-11dialyzer: Reduce ETS usage during the typesig phaseHans Bolinder
The condensed graph of SCCs occupies less ETS memory. A table translating to and from SCC to a unique integer is introduced.
2017-01-11dialyzer: Optimize graph condensationHans Bolinder
By not using ETS when calculating the condensation of graphs, peak heap memory consumption is reduced.
2017-01-11dialyzer: Do not send full PLTs as messagesHans Bolinder
The mini PLT is extended to hold all data of the full PLT, and the full PLT is restored when needed (for storing the PLT on file).
2017-01-10stdlib: Correct signatures of functions in erl_parseHans Bolinder
The signatures of erl_parse:anno_to_term/1 and erl_parse:anno_from_term/1 are corrected. Using these function no longer results in false Dialyzer warnings.
2016-12-21stdlib: Allow characters in types and constant patternsHans Bolinder
Characters ($char) can be used in constant pattern expressions. They can also be used in types and contracts.

2016-11-22dialyzer: Substitute 'opacity' for 'opaqueness'Hans Bolinder
Suggested by Kostis.
2016-11-22dialyzer: Improve a warning messageHans Bolinder
Messages regarding guards with orelse/andalso could look like "Clause guard cannot succeed. The variable A was matched against the type any()". Now they look like as if or/and is used: "Guard test is_integer(A::atom()) can never succeed".
2016-11-22dialyzer: Improve a warning messageHans Bolinder
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.
2016-11-22dialyzer: Correct a warnings messageHans Bolinder
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".
2016-11-01erts: Correct type declaration of match specification headHans Bolinder
Bug reported by Peti Gömöri <[email protected]>.
2016-10-21dialyzer: Fix error handling of bad -dialyzer() attributesHans Bolinder
If a dialyzer module attribute references an undefined (local) function an error tuple is thrown but no caught. This leads to a 'nocatch' error and not the intended "clean" error.

2016-10-06dialyzer: Fix opaque bugHans Bolinder
The "decoration" of opaque types works better than before when opaque types are used by other opaque types.
2016-10-06dialyzer: Fix opaque bugsHans Bolinder
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 bugs reported by Kostis.

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).

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.
