2015-03-20Replace usage of erlang:now() with usage of new APIRickard Green
2015-03-20Introduce a new time APIRickard Green
The old time API is based on erlang:now/0. The major issue with erlang:now/0 is that it was intended to be used for so many unrelated things. This tied these unrelated operations together and unnecessarily caused performance, scalability as well as accuracy, and precision issues for operations that do not need to have such issues. The new API spreads different functionality over multiple functions in order to improve on this. The new API consists of a number of new BIFs: - erlang:convert_time_unit/3 - erlang:monotonic_time/0 - erlang:monotonic_time/1 - erlang:system_time/0 - erlang:system_time/1 - erlang:time_offset/0 - erlang:time_offset/1 - erlang:timestamp/0 - erlang:unique_integer/0 - erlang:unique_integer/1 - os:system_time/0 - os:system_time/1 and a number of extensions of existing BIFs: - erlang:monitor(time_offset, clock_service) - erlang:system_flag(time_offset, finalize) - erlang:system_info(os_monotonic_time_source) - erlang:system_info(time_offset) - erlang:system_info(time_warp_mode) - erlang:system_info(time_correction) - erlang:system_info(start_time) See the "Time and Time Correction in Erlang" chapter of the ERTS User's Guide for more information.

2014-10-01Make shell ctrl-u save killed text correctlySteve Vinoski
Fix edlin to correctly save text killed with ctrl-u. Prior to this fix, entering text into the Erlang shell and then killing it with ctrl-u followed by yanking it back with ctrl-y would result in the yanked text being the reverse of the original killed text. Add a test for the fix to interactive_shell_SUITE. (This is the same fix as in PR#416, but that PR was never completed.)

2014-09-25Do not test appup of core apps for upgrade from current vsnSiri Hansen
The appup tests for kernel, stdlib and sasl tests that the appup file allows upgrade from the previous and current major release to the current release. If, in the current release, the application version was not changed compared to the previous release, then we would still test that the appup supported the upgrade (i.e. from current release to current release). This is now changed, in order to avoid test failures on patch releases where kernel, stdlib and sasl are not changed.

2014-07-09Fix handling of broken symlinks in filelibAnthony Ramine
This fixes a bug introduced in f11aabdc9fec593c31e6c4f3fa25c1707e9c35df where filelib:eval_read_file_info/2 was made to use file:read_link_info/1 to never follow symlinks. This fixed wildcard/1 but broke every other function using eval_read_file_info/2. Reported-by: Louis-Philippe Gauthier Reported-by: Danil Zagoskin
2014-06-28Introduce new option 'raw' in file_info functionsAnthony Ramine
This option allows the caller not to go through the file server for information about files guaranteed to be local.

2014-06-12Allow unsticking pre-loaded modulesBjörn Gustavsson
Commit ed06dd12ea74018b902a2c4c7924313d23cedb75 made pre-loaded modules (such as erlang) sticky, and also made it impossible to unstick them to prevent them from ever be reloaded. It turns out that there are tools that may want to instrument the erlang module (such as concuerror), so making it impossible to unstick modules is harsh. Therefore, revert the part of the commit that prevented unsticking the pre-loaded modules.
2014-06-04Make pre-loaded modules permanently stickyBjörn Gustavsson
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.
2014-05-26application_SUITE: Clean up the code after the test is doneBjörn Gustavsson
2014-05-26Teach code:del_path/1 to ignore superfluous slashesBjörn Gustavsson
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.
