* sv/serge-new_float_ext: Let ei_get_type() return ERL_FLOAT_EXT instead of NEW_FLOAT_EXT Fix ei_tmo to restrict dflags to NEW_FLOAT_EXT compact IEEE 754 double encoding in external binary format for ei fix typo in ei_decode_ei_term documentation OTP-8684 sv/serge-new_float_ext compact IEEE 754 double encoding in external binary format for ei Implement the compact IEEE 754 double encoding in external binary format for ei. Encoding for ei now always produces the NEW_FLOAT_EXT format. Decoding and term printing handle both the old ERL_FLOAT_EXT encoding and the new NEW_FLOAT_EXT encoding. Legacy erl_interface code also handles the new encoding, but still produces the ERL_FLOAT_EXT encoding by default. Also enable the DFLAG_NEW_FLOATS distribution flag. ei_get_type() will return ERL_FLOAT_EXT regardless if the external format is encoded with ERL_FLOAT_EXT or NEW_FLOAT_EXT for doubles. Reduce the number of copies of the code for encoding and decoding doubles throughout ei and erl_interface by instead calling the ei encoding and decoding functions wherever possible. Restore commented-out float tests in ei_decode_SUITE and ei_encode_SUITE in lib/erl_interface/test. Modify them to make them match the style of other tests in the same suites. These changes are based on an ei float patch from Serge Aleynikov originally submitted against R12B-2 in July 2008 and reworked by Steve Vinoski May 2010.

2010-06-07Fix ei_tmo to restrict dflags to NEW_FLOAT_EXTBjörn-Egil Dahlberg
Erl_Interface is updated to restrict distribution to NEW_FLOAT_EXT only. The testsuite ei_tmo is updated to reflect that.

Change "encoding" to "decoding" where the documentation describes the return value 0.

2010-03-19erl_call: fix documentation of -a optionMagnus Henoch
The default value for Fun is start, not [] as the documentation used to suggest. Also, format [] with <c> instead of <em> since it is a code fragment, not an emphasised word.

* ml/documentation_apostrophe_fix: Correct grammatical problems in conjunction with 'its' Change all incorrect occurrences of it's to its OTP-8523 ml/documentation_apostrophe_fix
2010-03-16Change all incorrect occurrences of it's to itsMatthias Lang
The documentation (*.xml) in the otp tree has a common grammatical problem, "it's" and "its" are often interchanged. That is annoying for some readers. This commit consists entirely of "it's" -> "its" changes. I went through every .xml file in the tree. If there are any remaining bugs of this type, it's because I missed them, not because I didn't look.

2010-02-03OTP-8323 Cross compilation improvements and other build systemRickard Green
improvements. Most notable: Lots of cross compilation improvements. The old cross compilation support was more or less non-existing as well as broken. Please, note that the cross compilation support should still be considered as experimental. Also note that old cross compilation configurations cannot be used without modifications. For more information on cross compiling Erlang/OTP see the $ERL_TOP/xcomp/README file. Support for staged install using <url href="http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/DESTDIR.html">D ESTDIR</url>. The old broken INSTALL_PREFIX has also been fixed. For more information see the $ERL_TOP/README file. Documentation of the release target of the top Makefile. For more information see the $ERL_TOP/README file. make install now by default creates relative symbolic links instead of absolute ones. For more information see the $ERL_TOP/README file. $ERL_TOP/configure --help=recursive now works and prints help for all applications with configure scripts. Doing make install, or make release directly after make all no longer triggers miscellaneous rebuilds. Existing bootstrap system is now used when doing make install, or make release without a preceding make all. The crypto and ssl applications use the same runtime library path when dynamically linking against libssl.so and libcrypto.so. The runtime library search path has also been extended. The configure scripts of erl_interface and odbc now search for thread libraries and thread library quirks the same way as erts do. The configure script of the odbc application now also looks for odbc libraries in lib64 and lib/64 directories when building on a 64-bit system. The config.h.in file in the erl_interface application is now automatically generated in instead of statically updated which reduces the risk of configure tests without any effect.

2010-01-23erl_interface: Allow erl_match() to match ERL_LONGLONG and ERL_U_LONGLONG termsScott Lystig Fritchie
The Erlang/OTP distro now includes 90% of what's required to handle signed and unsigned ints up to 8 bytes long, so add this remaining (?) 10%.

The symbol ei_tracelevel was not declared extern which could crash the linking step on some compilers. Updated .gitignore to ignore object files in erl_interface.

Debug trace output for connection activity could be enabled setting the trace level as an integer to the EI_TRACELEVEL environment variable. This option could also be read and set from a running program using ei_get_tracelevel(void) and ei_set_tracelevel(int).
