2013-02-13Make the file:filename() type more restrictiveBjörn Gustavsson
The recommended type for filenames is a list of characters (which may be Unicode characters greater than 255). Change the file:filename() to reflect that. For the filename module we still need a type that can be either a string or a binary, so we need to introduce the type file:filename_all().

servers behaves Rationale: Some applications (like erlide) have code to be loaded dynamically on a node. It may be slow to load everything upfront every time, so if the node is in interactive mode, we would like to just append to the load path. Currently, there is no direct way to detect if the node is running in embedded mode or not so that we can do the right thing.

* fdm/file-allocate/OTP-10680: Update preloaded prim_file.beam erts: Fix xcomp configure for fallocate Add file:allocate/3 operation
2013-01-09Add file:allocate/3 operationFilipe David Manana
This operation allows pre-allocation of space for files. It succeeds only on systems that support such operation. The POSIX standard defines the optional system call posix_fallocate() to implement this feature. However, some systems implement more specific functions to accomplish the same operation. On Linux, if the more specific function fallocate() is implemented, it is used instead of posix_fallocate(), falling back to posix_fallocate() if the fallocate() call failed (it's only supported for the ext4, ocfs2, xfs and btrfs file systems at the moment). On Mac OS X it uses the specific fcntl() operation F_PREALLOCATE, falling back to posix_fallocate() if it's available (at the moment Mac OS X doesn't provide posix_fallocate()). On any other UNIX system, it uses posix_fallocate() if it's available. Any other system not providing this system call or any function to pre-allocate space for files, this operation always fails with the ENOTSUP POSIX error.

Examples overflowing the width of PDF pages have been fixed. The remaining warnings are due to table cells, and require more work.

Expect modifications, additions and corrections. There is a kludge in file_io_server and erl_scan:continuation_location() that's not so pleasing.

2012-09-17global: Allow "tuple funs" as resolve functionsBjörn Gustavsson
Commit de7e01c958ff7c9e6da4034a53567a30a4ae5792 removed support for tuple funs. To still allow resolve functions for global:{re_}register_name/3 to be specified as {M,F}, we'll need to translate {M,F} to an external fun. Also update the documentation to mention that the use of {M,F} to specify a resolve function is deprecated, and to add a recommendation to use an external fun.
