2016-12-19Add take/2 to all dictionary modulesBjörn Gustavsson
Similar to maps:take/2, add take/2 to the other dictionary modules in STDLIB: orddict:take(Key, Dict) -> {Val,NewDict} | 'error'. dict:take(Key, Dict) -> {Val,NewDict} | 'error'. gb_trees:take(Key, Dict) -> {Val,NewDict}. For gb_trees also add: gb_trees:take_any(Key, Dict) -> {Val,NewDict} | 'error'. gb_trees already has delete() and delete_any(), so we will follow that design pattern. Suggested by Boris Bochkaryov in https://github.com/erlang/otp/pull/1209.

2015-06-15dialyzer: Modify the handling of parametrized opaque typesHans Bolinder
In OTP 17 it is possible to mix types such as dict:dict() and dict:dict(_, _) outside of the dict module (and similarly for some other opaque types in STDLIB), but the results are unfortunately possibly invalid warnings in users' code. In OTP 18 parameterized opaque types with the same name but with different number of parameters are no longer compatible when seen from outside of the module where the types are declared. The types in STDLIB have been updated accordingly; for instance -opaque dict() :: dict(_, _). has been replaced by -type dict() :: dict(_, _).

2014-02-23Deprecate pre-defined built-in typesHans Bolinder
The types array(), dict(), digraph(), gb_set(), gb_tree(), queue(), set(), and tid() have been deprecated. They will be removed in OTP 18.0. Instead the types array:array(), dict:dict(), digraph:graph(), gb_set:set(), gb_tree:tree(), queue:queue(), sets:set(), and ets:tid() can be used. (Note: it has always been necessary to use ets:tid().) It is allowed in OTP 17.0 to locally re-define the types array(), dict(), and so on. New types array:array/1, dict:dict/2, gb_sets:set/1, gb_trees:tree/2, queue:queue/1, and sets:set/1 have been added.
2013-09-13Add dict:is_empty/1 and orddict:is_empty/1Magnus Henoch
dict:size/1 runs in constant time, but orddict:size/1 does not. With this change, the two modules stay API compatible and gain a constant-time function for checking whether a dictionary is empty.

2011-04-01Compile fixes for earlier documentation fixesBernard Duggan
Fixed a couple of compilation errors. Also backed out a tiny change that had already been added by Tuncer Ayaz in his binary-part-typo branch.
2011-04-01Various small documentation fixesBernard Duggan
This change fixes a bunch of small (and a few less small) typos and other errors in various modules that I've spotted throughout my travels.

2010-12-13Fixes to the dict module documentationFilipe David Manana
Fixed grammar and one inconsistency (Key - Value instead of key/value, since everywhere else the former is used).
