2013-07-11Add application:ensure_all_started/1-2Fred Hebert
This adds two new functions to the application module that will recursively look for missing dependencies to start the entire dependency chain of a given application, and then the application itself, if possible. Its entire behavior is based on the currently existing 'start/1-2' functions, which will report dependencies that have not yet been started and other problems encountered. 'ensure_all_started/1-2' will use this information the way any programmer would manually do it to automate the process. This kind of functionality, while not OTP-ish (releases do this start sequence for the user), is still useful for testing purposes, quick demonstrations, and programmers who do not wish or know how to use OTP releases. The function returns '{ok, StartedApps}' for all started or already started applications (already started are omitted from the list), and will return '{error, {AppName, Reason}}' on a failure to allow users to rapidly know why the function failed. Note that no specific check is made for direct or indirect circular dependencies between applications, and these will make the function go in an infinite loop.

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().

2013-02-01Add a new function code:get_mode() can be used to detect how the code ↵Vlad Dumitrescu
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.

2013-01-02[stdlib, kernel] Introduce Unicode support for Erlang source filesHans Bolinder
Expect modifications, additions and corrections. There is a kludge in file_io_server and erl_scan:continuation_location() that's not so pleasing.
