2017-11-30Add syntax in try/catch to retrieve the stacktrace directlyBjörn Gustavsson
This commit adds a new syntax for retrieving the stacktrace without calling erlang:get_stacktrace/0. That allow us to deprecate erlang:get_stacktrace/0 and ultimately remove it. The problem with erlang:get_stacktrace/0 is that it can keep huge terms in a process for an indefinite time after an exception. The stacktrace can be huge after a 'function_clause' exception or a failed call to a BIF or operator, because the arguments for the call will be included in the stacktrace. For example: 1> catch abs(lists:seq(1, 1000)). {'EXIT',{badarg,[{erlang,abs, [[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20|...]], []}, {erl_eval,do_apply,6,[{file,"erl_eval.erl"},{line,674}]}, {erl_eval,expr,5,[{file,"erl_eval.erl"},{line,431}]}, {shell,exprs,7,[{file,"shell.erl"},{line,687}]}, {shell,eval_exprs,7,[{file,"shell.erl"},{line,642}]}, {shell,eval_loop,3,[{file,"shell.erl"},{line,627}]}]}} 2> erlang:get_stacktrace(). [{erlang,abs, [[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22, 23,24|...]], []}, {erl_eval,do_apply,6,[{file,"erl_eval.erl"},{line,674}]}, {erl_eval,expr,5,[{file,"erl_eval.erl"},{line,431}]}, {shell,exprs,7,[{file,"shell.erl"},{line,687}]}, {shell,eval_exprs,7,[{file,"shell.erl"},{line,642}]}, {shell,eval_loop,3,[{file,"shell.erl"},{line,627}]}] 3> We can extend the syntax for clauses in try/catch to optionally bind the stacktrace to a variable. Here is an example using the current syntax: try Expr catch C:E -> Stk = erlang:get_stacktrace(), . . . In the new syntax, it would look like: try Expr catch C:E:Stk -> . . . Only a variable (not a pattern) is allowed in the stacktrace position, to discourage matching of the stacktrace. (Matching would also be expensive, because the raw format of the stacktrace would have to be converted to the cooked form before matching.) Note that: try Expr catch E -> . . . is a shorthand for: try Expr catch throw:E -> . . . If the stacktrace is to be retrieved for a throw, the 'throw:' prefix must be explicitly included: try Expr catch throw:E:Stk -> . . .

2017-11-22dialyzer: Extend the map implementation's handling of ?unitHans Bolinder
The Maps implementation handles ?unit in more cases. Exactly when t_is_none_or_unit() is to be called is not clear to me. The added cases are about a map type being ?unit, but the key or the value of an association can also be ?unit, but that is not always checked.

2017-09-15dialyzer: Improve check of unknown typesHans Bolinder
The implementation of OTP-14218 (commit 6d3b38a) has a weakness: only a very limited part of the type form is checked. This is now fixed: types not used by specs are checked equally well as types used by specs. The new function erl_types:t_from_form_check_remote() checks usage of remote types. It does not expand used local types, and has (almost) no limits on depth and size.

2017-09-12dialyzer: Do not fix ETS tables when merging PLTsHans Bolinder
This commit removes the call to ets:safe_fixtable/2 introduced in commit 9458495. ETS memory can now be reclaimed while merging PLTs.
2017-09-12dialyzer: Adjust a test caseHans Bolinder
Huge maps are truncated differently by the pretty printer. The reason is that erl_types:is_singleton_type/1 no longer recognizes complex singleton types, which results in a less precise representation of map types.
2017-09-12dialyzer: Modify handling of singleton map key typesHans Bolinder
The test case loop.erl shows that there is a problem with certain singleton key types. Here the internal representation toggles between #{a | b => ...} and #{a => ..., b => ...} The choice is to turn #{a | b => ...} into #{a => ..., b => ...} early (t_from_form()). The aim is to keep as much info as possible (in pairs). However, including complex singleton keys (tuples, maps) in this scheme is potentially too costly, and a bit complicated. So one more choice is made: let atoms and number (and nothing else) be singleton types, and let complex keys go into the default key.

2017-08-24dialyzer: Fix a bug where merging PLT:s could lose infoHans Bolinder
A missing call to ets:safe_fixtable/2 meant that information was sometimes lost when merging PLT:s.
2017-08-05Add {continue, Term} and handle_continue/2 to gen_serverJosé Valim
If the gen_server process needs to perform an action immediately after initialization or to break the execution of a callback into multiple steps, it can return {continue, term()} in place of the time-out or hibernation value, which will immediately invoke the handle_continue/2 callback with the given term. This provides a more accessible approach to after initialization compared to proc_lib+enter_loop that is also guaranteed to be safe. It also allows callbacks that need to do lengthy or stateful work to checkpoint the state throughout multiple iterations. This can be useful, for example, when implementing behaviours on top of gen_server.

2017-06-13dialyzer: Do not use two records for PLTsHans Bolinder
Instead of two records, #plt{} with dict:s and #mini_plt{} with ETS tables, one record is used for representing PLT:s in RAM. The #mini_plt{} is the one now used throughout analyses, but it is called #plt{}. When writing the PLT to file, another record is used, #file_plt{} (as before). When creating #file_plt{}, the #plt{} is deleted (it cannot be used for further analyses).
