A bug introduced in kernel-2.13.5.3 has been fixed. If running net_kernel:set_net_ticktime/1 twice within the TransitionPerod the second call caused the net_kernel process to crash with a badmatch.

The resolver routines now tries to parse the hostname as an IP string as most OS resolvers do, unless the native resolver is used. The DNS resolver inet_res and file resolver inet_hosts now do not read OS configuration files until they are needed. Since the native resolver is default, in most cases they are never needed. The DNS resolver's automatic updating of OS configuration file data (/etc/resolv.conf) now uses the 'domain' keyword as default search domain if there is no 'search' keyword.

2010-02-09inet_res: /etc/resolv.conf: use domain as default search listRaimo Niskanen
When the search list option in /etc/resolv.conf was empty, the domain option was not used as default search domain. That has been fixed in this patch.
2010-02-09inet: delayed/avoided read of /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/hostsRaimo Niskanen
The 'file' and 'dns' lookup methods configuration files are now read and parsed at the time of the first lookup instead of at boot time when per default none of these lookup methods are used.
2010-02-09inet_gethost_native: workaround for empty result hostname on MacOS XRaimo Niskanen
On MacOS X the getaddrinfo function apparently can return a result without canonical hostname e.g when looking up a IPv6 address string as hostname. The receiving erlang code was not prepared for that and this patch does a workaround by using the search string as default value for canonical hostname.

2010-02-09inet:gethostbyname improved to parse IP strings and look up own hostnameRaimo Niskanen
Now inet:gethostbyname tries to parse the hostname as an IP string first if the 'native' lookup method is not used. One can also make the IP string parsing explicit using the new 'string' lookup method, or avoid it using the new pseudo lookup method 'nostring'. In R13B04 a bug was introduced when the gethostbyname code was rewritten, so if the native resolver was used and misconfigured to not be able to look up the own hostname, inet:gethostbyname also failed. This is now fixed.

2010-02-08Merge branch 'sc/sctp-connect-nowait' into ccase/r13b04_devErlang/OTP
* sc/sctp-connect-nowait: Implement a non-blocking SCTP connect OTP-8414 There are new gen_sctp:connect_init/* functions that initiate an SCTP connection without blocking for the result. The result is delivered asynchronously as an sctp_assoc_change event. (Thanks to Simon Cornish.)
2010-02-06Implement a non-blocking SCTP connectSimon Cornish
This patch adds a new set of functions - gen_sctp:connect_init/* that initiate an SCTP connection without blocking for the result. The result is delivered asynchronously as an sctp_assoc_change event. The new functions have the same API as documented for gen_sctp:connect/* with the following exceptions: * Timeout is only used to supervise resolving Addr (the peer address) * The possible return values are ok | {error, posix()} The caller application is responsible for receiving the #sctp_assoc_change{} event and correctly determining the connect it originated from (for example, by examining the remote host and/or port). The application should have at least {active, once} or use gen_sctp:recv to retrieve the connect result. The implementation of gen_sctp:connect suffers from a number of shortcomings which the user may avoid by using gen_sctp:connect_init and adding code to receive the connect result. First, irrespective of the Timeout value given to gen_sctp:connect, the OS attempts and retries the SCTP INIT according to various kernel parameters. If the Timeout value is shorter than the entire attempt then the application will still receive an sctp_assoc_change event after the {error, timeout} is returned from the initial call. This could be somewhat confusing (either to the application or the designer!) especially if the status is comm_up. Subsequent calls to connect before the OS has finished this process return {error, ealready} which may also be counter-intuitive. Second, there is a race-condition (documented in comments in inet_sctp.erl) that can cause the wrong sctp_assoc_change record to be returned to an application calling gen_sctp:connect. The race seriously affects connection attempts when using one-to-many sockets.

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.
2009-12-03Corrected CR and LF clarification in file:read_line, removed extra backslash.Patrik Nyblom
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.
