2016-01-11Fix inadvertent deletion of callback infoStavros Aronis
If a behaviour module contains an non-exported function with the same name as one of the behaviour's callbacks, the callback info was inadvertently deleted from the PLT as the dialyzer_plt:delete_list/2 function was cleaning up the callback table. This bug was reported by Brujo Benavides. Fixes ERL-72 bug report.

2015-10-09Update DialyzerHans Bolinder
Record field types have been modified due to commit 8ce35b2: "Take out automatic insertion of 'undefined' from typed record fields".
2015-10-08Take out automatic insertion of 'undefined' from typed record fieldsKostis Sagonas
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.

* sverk/hipe-fix-literal-crc: erts,hipe,dialyzer: Fix hipe checkum of target runtime system erts: Change THE_NON_VALUE to not be hard coded in hipe compiler OTP-12962 OTP-12963 OTP-12964
2015-08-31erts,hipe,dialyzer: Fix hipe checkum of target runtime systemSverker Eriksson
Main problem: A faulty HIPE_LITERAL_CRC was not detected by the loader. Strangeness #1: Dialyzer should ask the hipe compiler about the target checksum, not an internal bif. Strangeness #2: The HIPE_SYSTEM_CRC checksum was based on the HIPE_LITERALS_CRC checksum. Solution: New HIPE_ERTS_CHECKSUM which is an bxor of the two (now independent) HIPE_LITERALS_CRC and HIPE_SYSTEM_CRC. HIPE_LITERALS_CRC represents values that are assumed to stay constant for different VM configurations of the same arch, and are therefor hard coded into the hipe compiler. HIPE_SYSTEM_CRC represents values that may differ between VM variants. By default the hipe compiler asks the running VM for this checksum, in order to create beam files for the same running VM. The hipe compiler can be configured (with "make XCOMP=yes ...") to create beam files for another VM variant, in which case HIPE_SYSTEM_CRC is also hard coded. ToDo: Treat all erts properties the same. Either ask the running VM or hard coded into hipe (if XCOMP=yes). This will simplify and reduce the risk of dangerous mismatches. One concern might be the added overhead from more frequent calls to hipe_bifs:get_rts_param.

2015-07-11Teach Dialyzer arity of funs with literal arityLuca Favatella
Re-insert logic for `erlang:make_fun/3` in `erl_bif_types`. It had been removed in bd941f5 while type spec-ing `erlang.erl`. Type spec in `erlang.erl` cannot express arity of returned fun based on value of argument hence re-introducing logic in `erl_bif_types`. Re-definition of logic in `erl_bif_types` follows approach in 9d870a0.

2015-06-18dialyzer: Expand opaque types before other typesHans Bolinder
Opaque types need to be expanded before record field types, otherwise any() could be used for opaque types.
2015-06-15dialyzer: Modify warning for comparison of opaque typesHans Bolinder
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.
2015-06-15dialyzer: Modify the handling of parametrized opaque typesHans Bolinder
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(_, _).
