* bjorn/stdlib/types: Make the file:filename() type more restrictive c: Remove handling of binaries in return from file:list_dir/1
2013-02-13Rethink the filelib:wildcard() functionsBjörn Gustavsson
Commit 70b5e24c9498225fadc08d19503269c8aad851bf broke filelib:wildcard(Pattern, "."). Over the years, the logic for filelib:wilcard() has become a mess of special cases. Probably because of premature optimization, filelib:wildcard(Pattern) and filelib:wildcard(Pattern, Cwd) are handled differently. They can be consolidated if we use a "." as the default Cwd argument. We can also simplify things by compiling the Cwd argument into the wildcard. We did not that in the initial implementation because it used to be possible to pre-compile a wildcard and pass it to filelib:wildcard/{1,2}. Since that is no longer possible, there is no point in keeping the compiled wildcard "portable" (not dependent on the Cwd argument).

2013-02-13Make the file:filename() type more restrictiveBjörn Gustavsson
The recommended type for filenames is a list of characters (which may be Unicode characters greater than 255). Change the file:filename() to reflect that. For the filename module we still need a type that can be either a string or a binary, so we need to introduce the type file:filename_all().
2013-02-13Change the return value of hipe_bifs:remove_refs_from/1Kostis Sagonas
In order to avoid an ummatched return warning in erts and make the code more sane, the return value of the bif was changed from [] to 'ok'. (Probably more hipe_bifs need such changes but they will have to wait.) While at it, the code of various functions in hipe_unified_loader was shortened by using lists:foreach/1 instead of explicit recursion.

2013-02-11Fix type of error Reason on gen_tcp:send/2Sean Cribbs
When the TCP socket is in passive mode, it is possible that a close message has not been delivered to the controlling process before calling send/2. This results in the returning {error, closed} to the caller, in the same way that recv/2,3 does. This commit adjusts the type of the error "Reason" to include the atom 'closed'.

servers behaves Rationale: Some applications (like erlide) have code to be loaded dynamically on a node. It may be slow to load everything upfront every time, so if the node is in interactive mode, we would like to just append to the load path. Currently, there is no direct way to detect if the node is running in embedded mode or not so that we can do the right thing.

2013-01-23Fix efile_drv crash when using async thread poolFilipe David Borba Manana
When using the async thread pool and compressed files, when an efile driver port instance is shutdown, the efile_drv stop callback closes the file descriptor (a gzFile instance actually) - this is dangerous if at the same time there's an async thread performing an operation against the file, for example calling invoke_read(), which can result in a segmentation fault, or calling invoke_close() which double closes the gzFile and this in turn causes 2 consecutive calls to driver_free() against same gzFile instance (resulting in later unexpected crashes in erl_bestfit_alloc.c for example). The following test program makes the emulator crash when using the async thread pool: -module(t2). -export([t/1]). t(N) -> file:delete("foo.bar"), % Use of 'compressed' option, for creating/writing the file, % is irrelevant. It only matters when opening it later for % reads - a non-compressed file open with the 'compressed' % option goes through an internal gzFile handle (instead of % a plain integer fd), just like a compressed file. %{ok, Fd} = file:open("foo.bar", [raw, write, binary]), {ok, Fd} = file:open("foo.bar", [raw, write, binary, compressed]), ok = file:write(Fd, <<"qwerty">>), ok = file:close(Fd), Pid = spawn_link(fun() -> process_flag(trap_exit, true), loop(N) end), Ref = erlang:monitor(process, Pid), receive {'DOWN', Ref, _, _, _} -> ok end. loop(0) -> ok; loop(N) -> Server = self(), Pid = spawn(fun() -> {ok, Fd} = file:open("foo.bar", [read, raw, binary, compressed]), Server ! continue, % Comment the file:read/2 call to make the file:close/1 call much % more likely to crash or end up causing efile_drv to close twice % the fd (gzFile), which will make the emulator crash later in the % best fit allocator (erl_bestfit_alloc.c). _ = file:read(Fd, 5), file:close(Fd) end), receive continue -> ok end, exit(Pid, shutdown), loop(N - 1).

2013-01-19Add search to Erlang shell's historyFred Hebert
Search mode can be entered by pressing ctrl-r. Enter terms and press ctrl-r again to search backwards, or ctrl-s to then search forward (if you terminal doesn't eat up that one). Press enter to execute the line, or use tab, arrow keys, or other control sequences (^D, ^K, etc.) to exit search mode while remaining on the last found line. Exiting is also possible by pressing the escape key twice. The search mode is a simpler version of the one available in bash or zsh shells. This adds a few modes to the shell (search, on top of none and meta) in group.erl for history search, and a few more in edlin.erl to change the meaning of control sequences while searching.

2013-01-17global_SUITE: Eliminate redundant registration of 'test_server' processBjörn Gustavsson
global_SUITE registers the name 'test_server' in the global registry for what seems to be only historical reasons. Exactly how it happened is lost in the mists of time, but I think the following is a reasonable reconstruction: * At one point in time, the test_server application started to do a global registration of a 'test_server' process to support embedded systems when the test_server application was run on both a host and a target system. * global_SUITE had to be modified to take the pre-existing 'test_server' registration into account. * When Erlang/OTP switched to using common_test, global_SUITE was modified to register the 'test_server' name itself in commit 8bd07f450816eaaae52d28740d89ead1f930cd02 (since the test_server application does not register the 'test_server' name when run under control of common_test). To slightly reduce the size of global_SUITE, remove the redundant registration and stop expecting 'test_server' to be registered.
