Code became dead in 854ee8b.
|
|
The bulk of the changes concerns cleanups and code refactorings concerning
record constructions that assigned 'undefined' to record fields whose type
did not contain this value. See commit 8ce35b2.
While at it, some new type definitions were introduced and type names were
used instead of record type notation. Minor code cleaups were also done.
|
|
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.

dialyzer: Correct the handling of parameters of opaque types
|
|
Prior to this commit, the fact that parameters of opaque types are
expanded differently depending on the current values of limits used
during expansion, caused problems later when the types of parameters
are used for determining if opaque types are comparable.

Opaque recursive parameters are expanded faster.
|
|
Expand parameters when needed only.
The opaqueness is removed from types expanded to any().
|
|
|
|
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.

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.

|
The OSE port is no longer supported and this commit removed it
and any changes related to it. The things that were general
improvements have been left in the code.
|
|
|
|
The test t_is_none() does not check for opaque types (and this is most
likely how it should be), why t_opaque() should never be called with
none().
|
|
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(_, _).
|
|
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.

* kostis/cerl_pmatch:
Allow use of complete interface of cerl_pmatch module
OTP-12794
|
|
The macro HIPE_SYSTEM_CRC used to contain a hidden cookie from the VM
that generated hipe_literals.hrl. This means that BEAM files containing
that macro would be tied to a particular version of the VM.
Change hipe_bifs:system_crc such that it doesn't require a hidden cookie
to return the desired value.
|
|
The cerl_pmatch module performs pattern matching compilation at the
level of Core Erlang. Functions that were not needed by the HiPE
compiler were ifdef-ed out. However, these functions may come handy
to other users; in particular a new testing tool currently under
development needs access to these functions.
While at it, added specs for these exported functions and also
strengthened the spec of another one.

An opaque type ?opaque(_) was put in a list where #opaque{} was
expected.

|

In particular fix handling of records.
|
|
The hipe_bifs:make_native_stub/2 and hipe_bifs:get_emu_address/1
BIFs were originally used by hipe_unified_loader.erl, but the
code been obsolete and disabled for ages.
Remove the BIFs and all references to them.
In hipe_unified_loader.erl, remove the no-op emu_make_stubs/1
function.

This ticket is about records in Erlang code, and when to check the
fields against the (optional) types given when defining records.
Dialyzer operates on the Erlang Core format, where there are no trace
of records. The fix implemented is a Real Hack:
Given the new option 'dialyzer' erl_expand_records marks the line
number of records in a way that is undone by v3_core, which in turn
inserts annotations that can be recognized by Dialyzer.
