2010-01-29Test suites: fix creation of EmakefilesBjörn Gustavsson
The Emakefiles in some test suite directories are only appended to, never created from scratch, which can cause problems especially when swithching branches in a git repository.
2010-01-27fix hipe loader SMP non-atomicity errorMikael Pettersson
Loading native code is a multi-step operation that needs to be atomic, but the HiPE loader failed to ensure that. This caused corruption of runtime system structure in some cases. Fix by blocking multi_scheduling around main loader entry points. Signed-off-by: Mikael Pettersson <[email protected]>
2010-01-27OTP-8387 Explicit top directories in archive files are now optional.Håkan Mattsson
For example, if an archive (app-vsn.ez) just contains an app-vsn/ebin/mod.beam file, the file info for the app-vsn and app-vsn/ebin directories are faked using the file info from the archive file as origin. The virtual direcories can also be listed. For short, the top directories are virtual if they does not exist.

2009-12-13Test on_load functions that don't return 'ok'Björn Gustavsson
2009-12-13Change the expected return value for on_load functionsBjörn Gustavsson
An on_load function is supposed to return 'true' to indicate that the module should be loaded, and 'false' if it should be unloaded. But returning any other term, as well as causing an exception, will also unload the module. Since we don't like boolean values mixed with other values, change the expected return value as follows: * If 'ok' is returned, the module will remain loaded and become callable. * If any other value is returned (or an exception is generated), the module will be unloaded. Also, if the returned value is not an atom, send a warning message to the error_logger (using error_logger:warning_msg/2). The new interpretation of the return value means that an on_load function can now directly return the return value from erlang:load_nif/2.

2009-12-03documentation: Fix bugs introduced in the SGML to XML transitionHans Bolinder
In the transition from SGML to XML (several releases ago), bugs were introduced in the documentation, for instance "\n" replaced by newlines. Correct those bugs. Also correct double backslashes. They seem to have been introduced very early in the development of OTP. According to Lars they "solved" a bug in the generation of HTML &c. Now that standard tools are used instead of docbuilder, the bug has become visible.
