2012-03-01Improve global:re_register_name/2,3 specRicardo Catalinas Jiménez
Both functions always return `yes'.
2012-03-01Fix global:{random_exit_name,random_notify_name}/3 specRicardo Catalinas Jiménez
Both functions return pid(), not 'none'. The one that always returns 'none' is notify_all_name/3.
2011-11-14Remove the undocumented function global:safe_whereis_name/1Hans Bolinder
2011-11-14Remove all use of global:safe_whereis_name/1Hans Bolinder
Calls to global:whereis_name/1 have been substituted for calls to global:safe_whereis_name/1 since the latter is not safe at all. The reason for not doing this earlier is that setting a global lock masked out a bug concerning the restart of supervised children. The bug has now been fixed by a modification of global:whereis_name/1. (Thanks to Ulf Wiger for code contribution.)
