2010-11-29Fix type information of 'file' and 'code' modulesKostis Sagonas
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.

2010-10-20Fix hang in on_load handlers in embedded modeBjörn Gustavsson
In embedded mode, all on_load handlers will be called after loading all modules but before starting any servers. Therefore, if an on_load handler calls any function in the code module that calls the code server (such as code:priv_dir/1), there will be a deadlock because the code server has not yet been started. Fix this problem by invoking the on_load handlers after having started most servers in the kernel application.
2010-10-14Add the {encoding, _} options to file:open/2's modesKostis Sagonas
Although the {encoding, encoding()} set of options is documented in the manual page of the 'file' module, they do not appear in the Mode description on that page nor in the mode() type declaration. The patch adds this information in both the code of the module and the documentation of the module. To avoid duplication, the declaration of the encoding() type is added to the 'unicode' module where it most probably belongs. While at it, added a proper declaration for posix(), took out the now superfluous information about the types of file:open/2 from the erl_bif_types module, and corrected the return type of file:open/2 so that it corresponds to the published documentation.
2010-10-05error_handler: add no_native compiler directiveTuncer Ayaz
As suggested by Mikael Pettersson: "I agree there _may_ be a recursion between the native-traps-to-beam mechanism and the error_handler module. However, the real problem is that the chosen mechanism (point to target MFA's BEAM code) isn't flexible enough to handle newer features like on_load or (apparently) a native-mode error_handler. My planned fix is to make remote calls link to the target's Export* instead, just like BEAM does, which should solve the problems. This will however require HiPE to use different kinds of trap-to-beam stubs for remote and local calls, since local calls must not and often cannot go via Export entries. A simpler workaround for the error_handler issue (which I couldn't reproduce) is to just never compile error_handler to native code. It's not like there's a lot to gain by doing that. Please try the patch below." Patch has been tested and confirmed to make --enable-native-libs useable. Signed-off-by: Mikael Pettersson <[email protected]> Acked-by: Tuncer Ayaz <[email protected]>

* ph/auto_recognize_ipv6: Add tests Let an 8-tuple given as ip_address() for gen_tcp/gen_udp/gen_sctp imply 'inet6' OTP-8822
2010-09-06Let an 8-tuple given as ip_address() for gen_tcp/gen_udp/gen_sctp imply 'inet6'Per Hedeland
Currently an 8-tuple representing an IPv6 address is not accepted by gen_tcp:listen/2, gen_tcp:connect/3,4, gen_udp:open/2, or gen_sctp:open/1,2, unless the 'inet6' option is also given. This means that an application that has obtained the address, e.g. from configuration that allows for either IPv4 or IPv6, must always check the type of the address before passing it to these functions. Letting the functions infer 'inet6' from the 8-tuple, in case other options do not override this choice, improves usability.

2010-07-28Load native code for modules loaded before the code serverPaul Guyot
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.

* ms/file-exclusive-mode: Update preloaded modules Support opening files in exclusive mode OTP-8670 ms/file-exclusive-mode There is a new option 'exclusive' to file:open/2 that uses the OS O_EXCL flag where supported to open the file in exclusive mode.
2010-06-04Support opening files in exclusive modeMichael Santos
Add an option that atomically tests for the existence of a file and creates it if the file does not exist, by passing the O_EXCL flag to open() on Unix and CREATE_NEW flag on Windows. Support for O_EXCL varies across platforms and filesystems. {ok, Fd} = file:open("/tmp/foo", [write,exclusive]), {error, eexist} = file:open("/tmp/foo", [write,exclusive]).

2010-06-01Add catch all handle_call to net_kernelAntonio SJ Musumeci
Of the core networking apps only net_kernel fails to have a catchall for unknown gen_server:call messages causing it to exit and eventually bring down kernal_sup and beam if it had not been manually started. For stability and consistancy it has been altered to include a catchall which does not reply.

2010-06-01dist_utils: Eliminate crash when list_to_existing_atom/1 failsBjörn Gustavsson
In the following scenario list_to_existing_atom/1 may crash during handshake: Start a node in one window: erl -sname adam@localhost Start another node in another window: erl -sname bertil In this node, ping the first node (use the actual hostname in the command): net:ping(adam@hostname). There will be an error report similar to: =ERROR REPORT==== 27-May-2010::15:03:14 === Error in process <0.40.0> on node 'bertil@hostname' with exit value: {badarg,[{erlang,list_to_existing_atom, ["adam@localhost"]},{dist_util,recv_challenge,1},{dist_util,handshake_we_started,1}]} Eliminate the crash and the error report by catching the call to list_to_existing_atom/1 and do a clean shutdown if it fails.
