2016-02-10epmd: support IPv6 node registrationMichael Santos
Allow IPv6 nodes to register with and query epmd. On systems with IPv6 support: * epmd listens on both the IPv4 and IPv6 ANY or loopback sockets * the epmd cli client connects to epmd over the IPv6 loopback * distributed nodes started with "-proto_dist inet6_tcp" will register with epmd over IPv6 To work on IPv6 capable systems that have IPv6 support disabled, epmd ignores errors opening the socket if the protocol is not supported. Similarly, the epmd client will fall back to IPv4 if the IPv6 socket is not available. Update the minimum supported version of Windows to Windows Vista to support IPv6.

2016-01-28Update documentation for code-loading functionsBjörn Gustavsson
Some of the error reasons were not explained.
2016-01-28code: Correct the types for error returnsBjörn Gustavsson
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.
2016-01-25Eliminate run-time system crash in code:load_abs/1Björn Gustavsson
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.

2015-10-05Avoid always updating inet_dns in the primary bootstrapBjörn Gustavsson
The include file inet_dns_record_adts.hrl is generated by the Perl script inet_dns_record_adts.pl in a non-deterministic way. That is, every time the script is run, the functions will be in a different order. That will cause inet_dns.beam in the primary bootstrap to be updated every time the bootstrap is updated, even though there is no actual code change. Modify the Perl script to sort the keys pulled out from hashes to make the order deterministic.

2015-08-18Handle ERRNO_BLOCK in fd_driver async functionsSteve Vinoski
Several users on erlang-questions have reported problems with recent releases where output to standard_error causes standard_error_sup to die from receiving an unexpected eagain error. In the fd_driver, change the fd_async() function to handle EINTR, and change fd_ready_async() to handle ERRNO_BLOCK. Add a new test to standard_error_SUITE to generate output to standard_error and ensure that standard_error_sup does not die. Thanks to Kota Uenishi for contributing the test case.

2015-06-09Fix socket option {linger, {true, 0}} to abort TCP connectionsRory Byrne
Up until now, if {linger, {true, 0}} is set on the socket and there is data in the port driver queue, the connection is not aborted until the port queue is empty and close() is called on the underlying file descriptor. This bug allows an idle TCP client to prevent a server from terminating the connection and freeing resources. This patch fixes the problem by discarding the port queue if the socket is closed when {linger, {true, 0}} is set.
2015-06-09Apply 'show_econnreset' socket option to send errors as wellRory Byrne
Up till now all send errors have been translated into a generic {error, closed}. This patch allows {error, econnreset} to be returned on send errors when it is detected that the TCP peer has sent an RST.
2015-06-09Add 'show_econnreset' TCP socket optionRory Byrne
An ECONNRESET is a socket error which tells us that a TCP peer has sent an RST. The RST indicates that they have aborted the connection and that the payload we have received should not be considered complete. Up until now, the implementation of TCP in inet_drv.c has hidden the receipt of the RST from the user, treating it as though it was just a FIN terminating the read side of the socket. There are many cases where user code needs to be able to distinguish between a socket that was closed normally and one that was aborted. Setting the option {show_econnreset, true} enables the user to receive ECONNRESET errors on both active and passive sockets. A connected socket returned from gen_tcp:accept/1 will inherit the show_econnreset setting of the listening socket. By default this option is set to {show_econnreset, false}. Note that this patch only enables the reporting of ECONNRESET when the socket is being read from. It does not report ECONNRESET (or EPIPE) when the user tries to write to a connection when an RST has already been received. Currently the TCP implementation in inet_drv.c hides all such send errors from the user in favour of returning {error, close}. A separate patch will be needed to enable the reporting of such errors.
