These functions use the MD5 beam/native checksum to determine whether the
code for a module has changed on disk and is a candidate for loading.

code:set_path/1 no longer returns {error,bad_path} (an exception
will be thrown instead).

Add functions to 'code' to allow loading of multiple modules
at once.
code:atomic_load(Modules) will load all modules at once, or fail
having loaded none of them. Since we cannot guarantee the atomicity if
there are modules with -on_load functions, the list of modules must
not contain any modules with an -on_load function.
Also, to make it possible to put an application into an inactive state
for as short time as possible, also add code:prepare_loading/1 and
code:finish_loading/1. They are used like this:
{ok,Prepared} = code:prepare_loading(Modules)
.
.
.
ok = code:finish_loading(Prepared)
code:ensure_modules_loaded/1 is useful as a pure optimization to
ensure that modules that will be needed soon have indeed been
loaded. It will not reload modules that have already been loaded and
it *will* accept modules that have an on_load function. Therefore, it
does not make sense to give any atomicity guarantees.
I did consider overloading the existing code:ensure_loaded/1
function, but rejected it because the return value is very
different. Having different forms of return values depending
on the types of arguments is confusing.

The specifications for functions that load code in the 'code'
module (e.g. code:load_file/1) have some problems:
* The specs claim that the functions can return {error,on_load}, but
they never do. However, they can return {error,on_load_failure} if
the -on_load function in a module fails.
* The specs claim that the functions can return {error,native_code},
but they never do.
While we are it, also extend the on_load_errors/1 test case to test
that the load functions return {error,on_load_failure} when an
-on_load function fails.

There is unnecessary knowledge about the -nostick option
in the 'kernel' module. -nostick can be handled entirely
in the 'code' module.
There is no need to have both code:start_link/0 and
code:start_link/1. code:start_link/0 is sufficient.
Also get rid of error handling for things that cannot happen:
The 'init' module has made sure that init:get_argument(root)
can't fail, so there is no need for any error-reporting code.
(See e1dc0aa4.)
We also don't need to test the return value from
code_server:start_link/1, because it will always return {ok,Pid}
(or crash).

Remove the first argument for code_server:call(). It makes no
sense. The only caller is 'code'.
Note that the code_server module is undocumented and that
code_server:call() is an internal helper function.
|
|
The run-time system would terminate if code:load_abs/1 was
called with a filename containing any non-latin1 characters.
The reason is that code_server would attempt to construct a
module name from the filename using list_to_atom/1 and that
atoms currently are limited to the latin1 character set.
But how should the error be reported?
I have decided to that the simplest and least confusing way
is to move the call to list_to_atom/1 to 'code' module and
let it crash the calling process. The resulting stack back
trace will make it clear what the reason for the crash was.

In practice, it does not seem that code path cache can
improve performance. Looking for any file that is not found
will cause the cache to be rebuilt, which will negate any
gain of using the cache.

We want to have the core applications of Erlang/OTP free from any
dialyzer warnings. Eliminate the warnings for unmatched returns
that were introduced in 7309ff4c3832.

e47490f83e561a changed the size of Info argument tuple (third argument)
for code:make_stub_module/3 from 2 to 3, but did not update the
spec in code.erl.
|
|
7309ff4c38325 introduced a mismatch between
load_native_code_for_all_loaded/0 and its spec. We could just delete
spec, but it is cleaner to ensure that the function always returns
'ok'.

When the code server has been started, the function
load_native_code_for_all_loaded/0 will check whether the .beam
files for all loaded modules contain any native code. If there
is native code, it will be loaded.
If there is no native code, on my computer the check will take about
10 ms. That time can be reduced to about 2 ms if we replace the call
to code beam_lib:chunks/2 with a call to prim_file:read_file/1 to read
the file and a call to code:get_chunk/2 to check whether the chunk for
native code is present.
Furthermore, the entire check can be spawned off to a separate
process and done in parallel with OTP starting up.

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.

If the mtime of an escript/primary archive file changes after being
added to the code path, correctly reload the archive and update the
cache.
The existing code didn't consider that it might be a zip archive and failed:
=ERROR REPORT==== 3-Aug-2011::09:21:21 ===
File operation error: bad_central_directory. Target:
/escript_archive/module.beam. Function: get_file. Process: code_server.
Thanks David Reid and Hakan Mattson.

Reorganize in a systematic way the code that loads the modules needed
by the code_server process. While at it, remove the useless
hipe_unified_loader:load_hipe_modules/0 function.

An incorrect spec, rpc:yield/1, has been fixed.

After the addition of unicode_binary() to the file:filename() type,
dialyzer started complaining about erroneous or incomplete specs in some
functions of the 'code' module. The culprit was hard-coded information
in erl_bif_types for functions of this module, which were not updated.
Since these functions have proper specs these days and code duplication
(pun intended) is never a good idea, their type information was removed
from erl_bif_types.
While doing this, some erroneous comments were fixed in the code module
and also made sure that the code now runs without dialyzer warnings even
when the -Wunmatched_returns option is used.
Some cleanups were applied to erl_bif_types too.

* ks/erl_bif_types-cleanup/OTP-8961:
Fix type information of 'file' and 'code' modules
Conflicts:
lib/hipe/cerl/erl_bif_types.erl
|
|
Also corrected type-info for bifs
|
|
Dialyzer for a long time now has had hard-coded type information about
key functions of the 'file' and 'code' modules in 'erl_bif_types'.
Some of this information was not up-to-date according to the published
Erlang/OTP documentation, while some other part contained small errors.
Now that specs are available, this information should be moved to the
corresponding files, not be hard-coded in erl_bif_types.
This change takes out all information for the 'file' module and fixes
some small errors in type information for the 'code' module.

When configuring erlang with --enable-native-libs, some core modules are
compiled with hipe, yet because they are loaded before the code server,
their native code is not loaded. The fix consists in quietly trying to
load the native code for all loaded modules just after the code server
is started.

erl_prim_loader:list_dir/1 returns error on failure and not
{error,_}.
Also update tests in code_SUITE:clash/1.
Defect was introduced with fix for listing .ez archives in 49da83de4b.
Initial code:clash/0 tests added in 79194d5fa7.

code:clash/0 did not take into account .ez files
when listing contents of code path entries.
Using erl_prim_loader:list_dir/1 instead of
file:list_dir/1 fixes the problem.

For example, if an archive (app-vsn.ez) just contains an
app-vsn/ebin/mod.beam file, the file info for the app-vsn and
app-vsn/ebin directories are faked using the file info from the
archive file as origin. The virtual direcories can also be
listed. For short, the top directories are virtual if they does
not exist.
