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.

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
|

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.

Opaque recursive parameters are expanded faster.
|
|
Add more information about the caller of t_from_form(). Instead of
just the module, also provide name of the type, spec, or record where
the type form resides.
|
|
Thanks to ILYA Khlopotov for pointing the bug out.

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.

Opaque types need to be expanded before record field types, otherwise
any() could be used for opaque types.
|
|
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(_, _).
|
|
Remove what it seems redundant checks.
|
|
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.

* legoscia/dialyzer/cache-hipe-binaries/OTP-12779:
Dialyzer to cache results of HiPE compilation
Change hipe_bifs:system_crc/1 to hipe_bifs:system_crc/0
|
|
Cache the results of native compilation in
$XDG_CACHE_HOME/dialyzer_hipe_cache. This can reduce the startup time
significantly.
If XDG_CACHE_HOME is unset, it defaults to $HOME/.cache.
See the XDG Base Directory spec for more details:
http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-0.7.html
Under that directory, create a subdirectory called
ARCH-VERSION-CHECKSUM, where ARCH is the HiPE architecture, VERSION is
the HiPE version number, and CHECKSUM is the return value of
hipe_bifs:system_crc/0.
Caching can be disabled by specifying --no_native_cache on the command
line.

Applications that use the new erl_anno module are depending on STDLIB 2.5.
Note that CosNotification, Megaco, SNMP, Xmerl, and Parsetools use the
erl_anno module via the Yecc parsers only (the header file in
lib/parsetools/include/yeccpre.hrl calls the erl_anno module).
HiPE does not call the erl_anno module, but uses an exported type.
We have chosen to make HiPE dependent on the erl_anno module.

* Mention the option 'check_plt' among gui() options.
* No longer check a PLT twice when the analysis type is 'plt_check'.
* No longer raise a case_clause error when checking a PLT finds warnings.

Fix a bug related to constraints generated for erlang:'*'/2
OTP-12725

|
* egil/strengthen-dialyzer-tests:
dialyzer: Strengthen maps tests
|
|
For Rst = A1 * A2, typesig for erlang:'*'/2 was constraining the
arguments A1 and A2 in the 'reverse' direction by requiring that A2 is a
subtype of Rst div A1, unless A1 is a hard zero. This is not correct: if
for example both Rst and A1 are non_negative, such a constraint will
first force A1 to be non-zero for the division to go through and then
require A2 to be non_negative as non_negative div positive =
non_negative, always (see commited test).
In the fixed version, we are not constraining an argument if the other
operand *may* be zero.
