* lh/demonitor-flush/OTP-11039: Use erlang:demonitor(Ref, [flush]) where applicable
2013-04-11Optimize communication with file io serverAnthony Ramine
The file module communicates with a file io server with the following protocol for file operations: > {file_request,From,ReplyAs,Request} < {file_reply,ReplyAs,Reply} The ReplyAs value is sent by the client side to match against when receiving the reply and is otherwise left untouched and passed as is by the server. This commit enables receive optimizations by using the reference of the server monitor, changing the protocol to: > {file_request,From,MonitorRef,Request} < {file_reply,MonitorRef,Reply} As the shape of the messages is not changed, backwards compatibility is not a concern.

2013-03-05kernel: Add application:ensure_started/1,2Björn-Egil Dahlberg
Similar to application:start/1,2 except it returns 'ok' on already started applications instead of {'error', {'already_started', ...}}.

* bjorn/stdlib/types: Make the file:filename() type more restrictive c: Remove handling of binaries in return from file:list_dir/1
2013-02-13[kernel] FIx a bug that could cause crash with wrong reasonHans Bolinder
2013-02-13Make the file:filename() type more restrictiveBjörn Gustavsson
The recommended type for filenames is a list of characters (which may be Unicode characters greater than 255). Change the file:filename() to reflect that. For the filename module we still need a type that can be either a string or a binary, so we need to introduce the type file:filename_all().
2013-02-13Change the return value of hipe_bifs:remove_refs_from/1Kostis Sagonas
In order to avoid an ummatched return warning in erts and make the code more sane, the return value of the bif was changed from [] to 'ok'. (Probably more hipe_bifs need such changes but they will have to wait.) While at it, the code of various functions in hipe_unified_loader was shortened by using lists:foreach/1 instead of explicit recursion.

2013-02-11Fix type of error Reason on gen_tcp:send/2Sean Cribbs
When the TCP socket is in passive mode, it is possible that a close message has not been delivered to the controlling process before calling send/2. This results in the returning {error, closed} to the caller, in the same way that recv/2,3 does. This commit adjusts the type of the error "Reason" to include the atom 'closed'.

* mh/duplicate_name_error_message/OTP-10797: Slightly nicer error message when node start fails due to duplicate name
2013-02-01Add a new function code:get_mode() can be used to detect how the code ↵Vlad Dumitrescu
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.

2013-01-25Slightly nicer error message when node start fails due to duplicate nameMagnus Henoch
When starting up an Erlang node using a node name that is already in use, the new node used to crash with output starting with this message: {error_logger,{{2013,1,25},{16,0,42}},"Protocol: ~p: register error: ~p~n",["inet_tcp",{{badmatch,{error,duplicate_name}},[{inet_tcp_dist,listen,1,[..... With this change, the first line in the output changes to: {error_logger,{{2013,1,25},{16,40,41}},"Protocol: ~tp: the name foo@localhost seems to be in use by another Erlang node",["inet_tcp"]}

2013-01-19Add search to Erlang shell's historyFred Hebert
Search mode can be entered by pressing ctrl-r. Enter terms and press ctrl-r again to search backwards, or ctrl-s to then search forward (if you terminal doesn't eat up that one). Press enter to execute the line, or use tab, arrow keys, or other control sequences (^D, ^K, etc.) to exit search mode while remaining on the last found line. Exiting is also possible by pressing the escape key twice. The search mode is a simpler version of the one available in bash or zsh shells. This adds a few modes to the shell (search, on top of none and meta) in group.erl for history search, and a few more in edlin.erl to change the meaning of control sequences while searching.

With silent rules, the output of make is less verbose and compilation warnings are easier to spot. Silent rules are disabled by default and can be disabled or enabled at will by make V=0 and make V=1.

* fdm/file-allocate/OTP-10680: Update preloaded prim_file.beam erts: Fix xcomp configure for fallocate Add file:allocate/3 operation
2013-01-09Add file:allocate/3 operationFilipe David Manana
This operation allows pre-allocation of space for files. It succeeds only on systems that support such operation. The POSIX standard defines the optional system call posix_fallocate() to implement this feature. However, some systems implement more specific functions to accomplish the same operation. On Linux, if the more specific function fallocate() is implemented, it is used instead of posix_fallocate(), falling back to posix_fallocate() if the fallocate() call failed (it's only supported for the ext4, ocfs2, xfs and btrfs file systems at the moment). On Mac OS X it uses the specific fcntl() operation F_PREALLOCATE, falling back to posix_fallocate() if it's available (at the moment Mac OS X doesn't provide posix_fallocate()). On any other UNIX system, it uses posix_fallocate() if it's available. Any other system not providing this system call or any function to pre-allocate space for files, this operation always fails with the ENOTSUP POSIX error.

Expect modifications, additions and corrections. There is a kludge in file_io_server and erl_scan:continuation_location() that's not so pleasing.
2012-12-20Move ram option from mode() type into open/2 specPatrik Nyblom
The mode() type is used in path_open and copy, two functions that do _not_ accept the ram option (or is at least not supposed to), why I moved the option 'ram' from the type down to the spec for open itself. That also makes the option visible directly under open/2 in the documentation.
