2017-02-03Store messages for 'rex' and 'error_logger' off heapBjörn Gustavsson
Performance for processes that receive huge amounts of messages can be increased by storing the incoming messages outside the heap (that avoids copying the message in a garbage collection). Two OTP processes that are known to receive many messages are 'rex' (used by 'rpc') and 'error_logger'.

2016-03-11Don't throw exceptions from rpc:call() and rpc:block_call()Björn Gustavsson
The documentation for rpc:call() says: Evaluates apply(Module, Function, Args) on the node Node and returns the corresponding value Res, or {badrpc, Reason} if the call fails. What is not said that rpc:call() can generate an exception if the 'rex' process on the other node is killed: (kalle@host)1> Rex = rpc:call(arne@host, erlang, whereis, [rex]). <6937.14.0> (kalle@host)2> rpc:call(arne@host, erlang, exit, [Rex,kill]). ** exception exit: {killed, {gen_server,call, [{rex,arne@host}, {call,erlang,exit,[<6937.14.0>,kill],<0.33.0>}, infinity]}} in function rpc:rpc_check/1 (rpc.erl, line 361) On the other hand, if the other node shuts down for some other reason, we'll get a {badrpc,nodedown} result: (kalle@host)5> rpc:call(arne@host, erlang, halt, []). {badrpc,nodedown} There does not seem to be any reason to handle the two cases differently. If the 'rex' process is terminated on the other node, it will shut down shortly thereafter. Therefore, change rpc:call() and rpc:block_call() to always return {badrpc,Reason} is the call fails: (kalle@host)1> Rex = rpc:call(arne@host, erlang, whereis, [rex]). <6937.14.0> (kalle@host)2> rpc:call(arne@host, erlang, exit, [Rex,kill]). {badrpc,{'EXIT',{killed,{gen_server,call, [{rex,arne@host}, {call,erlang,exit,[<7126.14.0>,kill],<0.33.0>}, infinity]}}}}

While we are it, also re-ident the files.

2016-03-10Eliminate use of doc and suite clausesBjörn Gustavsson
Those clause are obsolete and never used by common_test.

2016-02-17Eliminate use of test_server.hrl and test_server_line.hrlBjörn Gustavsson
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.

2015-06-05Clean up rpc_SUITE:call_benchmark/1Björn Gustavsson
The call_benchmark/1 test case is supposed to return a comment about the number of RPC calls per second, but the return value from the function that produces the comment (do_call_benchmark/4) is ignored. The test case is essentially useless except as a smoke test. Simplify the test case and correct the showing of the number of RPC calls per second, as well as eliminate the use of erlang:now/0.
