* rickard/null-chars/ERL-370/OTP-14543: Don't allow null chars in various strings Conflicts: erts/emulator/beam/erl_alloc.types erts/preloaded/ebin/erlang.beam
2017-10-11Don't allow null chars in various stringsRickard Green
Various places that now reject null chars inside strings - Primitive file operations reject it in filenames. - Primitive environment variable operations reject it in names and values. - os:cmd() reject it in its input. Also '=' characters are rejected by primitive environment variable operations in environment variable names. Documentation has been updated to document null characters in these types of data as invalid. Currently these operations accept null chars at the end of strings, but that will change in the future.

2017-02-21kernel: Fix hanging os:cmd race conditionLukas Larsson
If the port terminates before Port ! close is issued, there will be no 'closed' reply, so the old code would hang. As it turns out there is no way to figure out if a closed reply is supposed to come as that reply is sent after all links and monitors are triggered. So we have to use the synchronous port_close to close the port.

* Add specs * Change return signature to 'ok' instead of 'true'
2016-09-02kernel: Close stdin of commands run in os:cmdLukas Larsson
This is needed when running programs that only exit when stdin has been closed, e.g. 'more'.
2016-08-16erts: Make sure to flush potential exit messageLukas Larsson
2016-08-08kernel: Use ^D as eot for os:cmd on unix platformsLukas Larsson
This is needed as doing only an 'exit' will only exit the program, but any children started in the program that have stdout/stderr still open will keep the port open until they terminate. i.e. os:cmd("while true; do echo sleep 1; sleep 1; done&"). would block os:cmd forever because the while loop keeps its copies of stdout/stderr open forever. It could be argued that this is correct behaviour, and it is the way it works on windows, but changing this breaks backwards compatability for os:cmd which is not acceptable.

2016-02-02erts, kernel: Add os:perf_counter functionLukas Larsson
The perf_counter is a very very cheap and high resolution timer that can be used to timestamp system events. It does not have monoticity guarantees, but should on most OS's expose a monotonous time. A special instruction has been created for this counter to further speed up fetching it. OTP-12908
2015-12-15kernel: Remove cmd server for unix os:cmdLukas Larsson
Since we no longer to vfork in the emulator there is no need to serialize the os:cmd calls through a central command server. This greatly decreases the complexity of this code and should make it fast+more scalable. OTP-13089
2015-07-10ose: Remove all code related to the OSE portLukas Larsson
The OSE port is no longer supported and this commit removed it and any changes related to it. The things that were general improvements have been left in the code.

2015-03-20Introduce a new time APIRickard Green
The old time API is based on erlang:now/0. The major issue with erlang:now/0 is that it was intended to be used for so many unrelated things. This tied these unrelated operations together and unnecessarily caused performance, scalability as well as accuracy, and precision issues for operations that do not need to have such issues. The new API spreads different functionality over multiple functions in order to improve on this. The new API consists of a number of new BIFs: - erlang:convert_time_unit/3 - erlang:monotonic_time/0 - erlang:monotonic_time/1 - erlang:system_time/0 - erlang:system_time/1 - erlang:time_offset/0 - erlang:time_offset/1 - erlang:timestamp/0 - erlang:unique_integer/0 - erlang:unique_integer/1 - os:system_time/0 - os:system_time/1 and a number of extensions of existing BIFs: - erlang:monitor(time_offset, clock_service) - erlang:system_flag(time_offset, finalize) - erlang:system_info(os_monotonic_time_source) - erlang:system_info(time_offset) - erlang:system_info(time_warp_mode) - erlang:system_info(time_correction) - erlang:system_info(start_time) See the "Time and Time Correction in Erlang" chapter of the ERTS User's Guide for more information.

This change relies on the assumption that all arguments before the last -- to the parent beam should be left as they are.

2013-11-09Add os:unsetenv/1Martin Hässler
New BIF os:unsetenv/1 which deletes an environment variable and returns 'true'. Does not change any old functionality. Calls the libc function unsetenv(3) on UNIX and SetEnvironmentVariableW(key, NULL) on Windows. The unicode support is the same as for os:getenv and os:putenv.

2013-04-30Fix deep list argument error under Windows in os:cmd/1Aleksandr Vinokurov
Because of leeway in implementing os:cmd/1 under different OS there is a difference in results when calling it with deep list argument. os:cmd/1 specifies io_lib:chars() type for its argument and io_lib functions can produce deep lists inspite of io_lib:chars() result type specification. This commit flattens the argument for erlang:open_port/2 (which is used under Windows) and expands the os_SUITE to regress the bug.
