2010-09-01Remove copyright headers in vsn.mk filesBjörn Gustavsson
Copyright notices serve no useful purpose in vsn.mk files, and only complicate scripts that automatically update version numbers.

OTP-8750
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.

2010-06-07Merge branch 'ms/file-exclusive-mode' into devErlang/OTP
* 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]).

* pan/otp_8611_standard_io: Teach file:write/read/read_line about named io_servers OTP-8611 file:write,read and read_line on named io_device() The file module's functions write,read and read_line now handles named io_servers like 'standard_io' and 'standard_error' correctly.

* pan/otp_3626_win_find_executable: Teach os.erl to find executable names with extension (i.e. .exe) on windows OTP-3626 os:find_executable bug on Windows os:find_executable can now be fed with the complete name of the executable on Windows and still find it. I.e os:find_executable("werl.exe") will work as os:find_executable("werl").

2010-06-02Merge branch 'rn/resolver-leaking-ports' into devErlang/OTP
* rn/resolver-leaking-ports: Resolver: make inet_dns decode ugly truncated reply Resolver: stop inet_res leaking ports OTP-8652 inet_res leaking ports The kernel DNS resolver was leaking one or two ports if the DNS reply could not be parsed or if the resolver(s) caused noconnection type errors. Bug now fixed. A DNS specification borderline truncated reply triggering the port leakage bug has also been fixed.
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.

2010-06-01Merge branch 'bg/dist_utils' into devErlang/OTP
* bg/dist_utils: dist_utils: Eliminate crash when list_to_existing_atom/1 fails
2010-06-01Resolver: make inet_dns decode ugly truncated replyRaimo Niskanen
Bugfix: a DNS reply with the truncation bit set containing misleading section length (i.e header claimed length greater than what was actually in the reply section) in the header caused decode error in inet_dns.
2010-06-01Resolver: stop inet_res leaking portsRaimo Niskanen
Bugfix: when all nameservers return a reply causing decode errors or when errors enetunreach or econnrefused occured while contacting them, one or two UDP ports was leaked i.e left open and forgotten.
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.

When exchanging groups between nodes pg2 did not remove duplicated members. This bug was introduced in R13B03 (kernel-2.13.4).
2010-05-24Merge branch 'fm/file-operations' into devErlang/OTP
* fm/file-operations: Update preloaded modules Add file:advise/4 - a wrapper to the POSIX syscall posix_fadvise Add file:datasync/1 for syncing file contents only sys.h: Correct the get_int64() macro OTP-8637 fm/file-operations The functions file:advise/4 and file:datasync/1 have been added. (Thanks to Filipe David Manana.)
2010-05-20Add file:advise/4 - a wrapper to the POSIX syscall posix_fadviseFilipe David Manana
Useful for informing the Operating System about the access pattern for a file's data, so that it can adapt the caching strategy to maximize disk IO performance.
2010-05-20Add file:datasync/1 for syncing file contents onlyFilipe David Manana
file:datasync/1 invokes the POSIX system call "int fdatasync(int fd)". This system call is similar to "fsync" but, unlike fsync, it does not update the metadata associated with the file (like the access time for example). It's used by many DBMSs (MySQL and SQLite of example) to increase disk IO performance, as it avoids disk seeks and disk write operations compared to fsync. More details on it at: http://linux.die.net/man/2/fdatasync An example, from the MySQL source: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mysql/mysql-server/mysql-5.1-telco-6.1/annotate/head%3A/mysys/my_sync.c#L61 This new function just calls fsync on systems not implementing fdatasync.
2010-05-19Merge branch 'dp/shell-line-editing' into devErlang/OTP
* dp/shell-line-editing: Readline-style line edit history OTP-8635 dp/shell-line-editing The shell's line editing has been improved to more resemble the behaviour of readline and other shells. (Thanks to Dave Peticolas)
2010-05-06Merge branch 'bg/file-del_dir' into devErlang/OTP
* bg/file-del_dir: Adjust test of file:del_dir("..") to accept {error,einval}
2010-05-05Adjust test of file:del_dir("..") to accept {error,einval}Björn Gustavsson
On FreeBSD, file:del_dir("..") will return {error,einval} rather than the expected {error,eexist}, and so will file:del_dir("../.."), and so on. It could be argued that we should change the implementation of file:del_dir/1 to remap the error code (as some other error codes are remapped to reduce the differences between different platforms), but the consistency gained does not seem to be worth the effort. Therefore, until we'll find a real-world use case where it is essential to have consistent error codes for file:del_dir("..") on all platforms, change the test case to accept both errors.
