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.

2016-04-28erl_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.

[James Fish:] Dialyzer always asserts that files and directories passed in its options exist. Therefore it is not possible to remove a beam/module from a PLT when the beam file no longer exists. Dialyzer should not to check files exist on disk when removing from the PLT.

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.
