2011-02-28Fix file descriptor leak in crashdump_viewer:chunk_pageSiri Hansen
Also, remove compiler warnings for crashdump_viewer_SUITE and fix Makefile in test directory so Emakefile does not grow.
2011-02-28Minor bugfix related to improved performance of crashdump_viewerSiri Hansen
2011-02-28Add shell script and .bat file to start crashdump_viewerSiri Hansen
Since browsers no longer can provide the full path of a file selected with a file-type input field (browse button), the input field for loading a crashdump is now changed to a plain text input field. Since this reduces the user-friendlyness, a shell script (and a .bat file) has instead been added so the crashdump_viewer can be started directly from the command line - and thus normal tab completion can be used for selecting the crashdump file. Usage: cdv file [ browser ]
2011-02-28Fix slow parsing of crashdumpsSiri Hansen
This is a first attempt at fixing the problem described in seq11783 - crashdump_viewer is very slow at parsing big crashdumps. To open the first page for a dump of 17M takes about 2 minutes and a dump of 280M takes 1.5-2 hours. The main problmem is that the cdv_dump_index_table, which holds all tags read from the dump, is a bag. Profiling shows that ~95% of the time is spent in ets:insert. The table is now changed to an ordered_set. A second problem occured when a page with many table rows was opened. These pages were sent to inet in one chunk, causing both crashdump_viewer_server and the inets (mod_esi) process to grow very much in memory usage. To overcome this, the pages are now sent to inets in chunks of 1000 rows, and the data is coverted to binaries to avoid data copying between the two processes. Also, some new information in the crashdump was not recognized by the crashdump_viewer. This has been fixed.
2009-12-09OTP-8304 Incompatible changes in the experimental NIF feature. Changed theSverker Eriksson
NIF function prototypes in order to allow more than 3 function arguments. Also an incompatible change in the return value of erlang:load_nif/2. Added support for references, floats and term comparison in NIFs. Read more in the documentation of erl_nif and erlang:load_nif/2.
