Also update already deprecated calls.
2015-12-11Use 'rand' instead of the obsolete 'random' moduleBjörn Gustavsson
In most cases, we don't have to seed the random number generator, as the rand:uniform/1 takes care about that itself.

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.

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.)
