These functions use the MD5 beam/native checksum to determine whether the
code for a module has changed on disk and is a candidate for loading.

A step toward better integration of hipe load and purge
Highlights:
* code_server no longer needs to call hipe_unified_loader:post_beam_load/1
Instead new internal function hipe_redirect_to_module()
is called by loading BIFs to patch native call sites if needed.
* hipe_purge_module() is called by erts_internal:purge_module/2
to purge any native code.
* struct hipe_mfa_info redesigned and only used for exported
functions that are called from or implemented by native code.
A list of native call sites (struct hipe_ref) are kept for each hipe_mfa_info.
* struct hipe_sdesc used by hipe_find_mfa_from_ra()
to build native stack traces.

Normally, calling code:delete/1 before re-loading the code for a
module is unnecessary but causes no problem.
But there will be be problems if the new code has an on_load function.
Code with an on_load function will always be loaded as old code
to allowed it to be easily purged if the on_load function would fail.
If the on_load function succeeds, the old and current code will be
swapped.
So in the scenario where code:delete/1 has been called explicitly,
there is old code but no current code. Loading code with an
on_load function will cause the reference to the old code to be
overwritten. That will at best cause a memory leak, and at worst
an emulator crash (especially if NIFs are involved).
To avoid that situation, we will put the code with the on_load
function in a special, third slot in Module.

If an on_load function had not yet returned, the code server
would only correctly handle calls to code:ensure_loaded/1. That
is, each process that called code:ensured_loaded/1 for the
module in question would be suspended until the on_load function
had returned.
The code server handled calls to code:load_binary/1, code:load_file/1,
and code:load_abs/1 in the same way as for code:ensure_loaded/1.
That means that if call to one those functions attempted to load
*different* code for the module, that code would not get loaded.
Note that code:finish_loading/1 (code:atomic_load/1) will still return
{error,pending_on_load} if there is a pending on_load function for one
of the modules that are about to be loaded. The reason is that
code:finish_loading/1 is meant to either succeed directly, or fail
quickly if there is any problem.

Load the module as old code; swap old and new code if the
-on_load function succeeds. That way, a failed update attempt
for a module that has an -on_load function will preserve the
previous version of the code.

When using a code archive for an application, it should be possible
to store some directories for the application outside of the archive
file (for example, shared libraries that will not work inside an
archive). Make sure that we test that a directory outside of the
archive file really works.

On Windows, we might not have permission to create symlinks.
Skip the test case instead of failing.

On Windows, the pathnames for modules that are loaded early are
returned with mixed backslashes and slashes:
1> code:which(lists).
"C:\\Program Files\\erl8.0/lib/stdlib-2.7/ebin/lists.beam"
2>
Modules loaded later are fully normalized.
When starting the code_server, normalize the pathnames for all modules
that have been loaded so far.

Remove out-commented code. Make sure that comments that are not
at the end of a line starts with two '%' characters and not just
one. That will become important later when we'll remove all
?line macros and ask Emacs to re-indent the files.

Those clause are obsolete and never used by common_test.

Replace with io:format/2 or ct:pal/3.

?config is ugly and not recommended. Use proplists:get_value/2

test_server:start_node does no longer add the test_server path to the
new node, since the needed code is present in the default path. This
caused two test cases in code_SUITE to fail.
code_SUITE:mult_lib_roots: Expected the test_server path to be first
in the code path. This check is removed.
code_SUITE:bad_erl_libs: Started a node with "-env ERL_LIBS ",
i.e. not giving any value to the ERL_LIBS variable. This test
succeeded by accident, since the combination with arguments set by
test_server_node.erl and by slave.erl caused the node start to work,
and no further checks were present in the test. This part of the test
case is now removed.

Add functions to 'code' to allow loading of multiple modules
at once.
code:atomic_load(Modules) will load all modules at once, or fail
having loaded none of them. Since we cannot guarantee the atomicity if
there are modules with -on_load functions, the list of modules must
not contain any modules with an -on_load function.
Also, to make it possible to put an application into an inactive state
for as short time as possible, also add code:prepare_loading/1 and
code:finish_loading/1. They are used like this:
{ok,Prepared} = code:prepare_loading(Modules)
.
.
.
ok = code:finish_loading(Prepared)
code:ensure_modules_loaded/1 is useful as a pure optimization to
ensure that modules that will be needed soon have indeed been
loaded. It will not reload modules that have already been loaded and
it *will* accept modules that have an on_load function. Therefore, it
does not make sense to give any atomicity guarantees.
I did consider overloading the existing code:ensure_loaded/1
function, but rejected it because the return value is very
different. Having different forms of return values depending
on the types of arguments is confusing.

The test_server application has previously been deprecated.
In OTP 19, we will move relevant parts of test_server into the
common_test application. Test suites that include test_server.hrl
must be updated to include ct.hrl instead. Test suites that include
test_server_line.hrl must removed that inclusion. Test suites that
call the test_server module directly will continue to work in OTP 19.
The test suites for Erlang/OTP are built and executed in exactly
the same way as previously.
Here are some more details.
The modules test_server*.erl and erl2html2.erl in lib/test_server/src
have been moved to common_test/src.
The test_server.hrl and test_server_line.hrl include files have
been deleted. The macros in test_server.hrl have been copied into
lib/common_test/include/ct.hrl.
The ts*.erl modules and their associated data files in
lib/test_server/src has been been moved to the new directory
lib/common_test/test_server. The ts* modules are no longer built
to lib/common_test/ebin. They will only built when 'make release_tests'
is executed.
The test suite for test_server has been moved to lib/common_test/test.
The rest of the files have been deleted.
|
|
As a first step to removing the test_server application as
as its own separate application, change the inclusion of
test_server.hrl to an inclusion of ct.hrl and remove the
inclusion of test_server_line.hrl.

The specifications for functions that load code in the 'code'
module (e.g. code:load_file/1) have some problems:
* The specs claim that the functions can return {error,on_load}, but
they never do. However, they can return {error,on_load_failure} if
the -on_load function in a module fails.
* The specs claim that the functions can return {error,native_code},
but they never do.
While we are it, also extend the on_load_errors/1 test case to test
that the load functions return {error,on_load_failure} when an
-on_load function fails.

There is no reason to export system_continue/3 and system_terminate/4
from code_server. Servers that use proc_lib and 'sys' to handle system
message do need those functions exported, but code_server contains a
modified copy of the system message handling code from 'sys', and that
code only make local calls to system_continue/3 and
system_terminate/4.
|
|
The run-time system would terminate if code:load_abs/1 was
called with a filename containing any non-latin1 characters.
The reason is that code_server would attempt to construct a
module name from the filename using list_to_atom/1 and that
atoms currently are limited to the latin1 character set.
But how should the error be reported?
I have decided to that the simplest and least confusing way
is to move the call to list_to_atom/1 to 'code' module and
let it crash the calling process. The resulting stack back
trace will make it clear what the reason for the crash was.

Problem: erlang:purge_module/1 is not safe in the sense
that very bad things may happen if the code to be purged
is still referred to by live processes.
Introduce erts_internal:purge_module which is the same as the old
erlang:purge_module BIF (except it returns false if no such old module).
Implement erlang:purge_module in Erlang and let it invoke
erts_code_purger for safe purging where all clogging processes
first are killed.
|
|
by moving code from code_server to erts_code_purger.
This is more or less a copy-paste from code_server.erl
to erts_code_purger.erl. All the inner mechanics of
code:purge/1 and code:soft_purge/1 are unchanged.

In practice, it does not seem that code path cache can
improve performance. Looking for any file that is not found
will cause the cache to be rebuilt, which will negate any
gain of using the cache.

Modules in the kernel, stdlib, and compiler applications are by
default "sticky", meaning that the code server will refuse to
re-load them.
The pre-loaded modules (those that are part of the run-time system
itself, such as 'erlang') are, however, not sticky. They used to be
sticky a long time ago when the pre-loaded modules were part of
the kernel application. Now they are part of the erts application.
Since re-loading a pre-loaded module can be catastrophic (especially
re-loading the 'erlang' module), the pre-loaded modules must be
sticky. Furthermore, it should not be allowed to unstick them.
The sticky_dir/1 test case in code_SUITE is never actually run and
is broken. Rewrite it.

The following sequence will NOT leave the code path unchanged:
code:add_path("/some/app/"),
.
.
.
code:del_path("/some/app/")
The reason is that code:add_path/1 will normalize the path name
(removing the trailing slash), while code:del_path/1 does not
normalize the path before searching for it in the code path.
