The new time warp safe option is safe_fixed_monotonic_time which
gives erlang:monotonic_time().
The safe_fixed option was also slightly changed. It now gives
erlang:timestamp() instead of erlang:now(). This has however
not been documented, so it is considered a compatible change.
The above effects both ets, and dets.
This commit also include the bugfix OTP-13239 for
dets:info(Tab, safe_fixed). The timestamp in the result returned
by dets:info(Tab, safe_fixed) was unintentionally broken as a
result of the time API rewrites in OTP 18.0.

This new ETS BIF returns and deletes objects from tables.

causing recently created/deleted tables to not be included/excluded.

Use Erlang specs and types for documentation
|
|
The compressed format is using a slighty modified variant of the extern format
(term_to_binary). To not worsen key lookup's too much, the top tuple itself
and the key element are not compressed. Table objects with only immediate
non-key elements will therefor not gain anything (but actually consume one
extra word for "alloc_size").
|
|
State more clearly that ETS functions will throw badarg if calling
process lacks access right. And that driver stop callback should free
memory allocted by start.

Large parts of the ethread library have been rewritten. The
ethread library is an Erlang runtime system internal, portable
thread library used by the runtime system itself.
Most notable improvement is a reader optimized rwlock
implementation which dramatically improve the performance of
read-lock/read-unlock operations on multi processor systems by
avoiding ping-ponging of the rwlock cache lines. The reader
optimized rwlock implementation is used by miscellaneous
rwlocks in the runtime system that are known to be read-locked
frequently, and can be enabled on ETS tables by passing the
`{read_concurrency, true}' option upon table creation. See the
documentation of `ets:new/2' for more information.
The ethread library can now also use the libatomic_ops library
for atomic memory accesses. This makes it possible for the
Erlang runtime system to utilize optimized atomic operations
on more platforms than before. Use the
`--with-libatomic_ops=PATH' configure command line argument
when specifying where the libatomic_ops installation is
located. The libatomic_ops library can be downloaded from:
http://www.hpl.hp.com/research/linux/atomic_ops/
The changed API of the ethread library has also caused
modifications in the Erlang runtime system. Preparations for
the to come "delayed deallocation" feature has also been done
since it depends on the ethread library.
Note: When building for x86, the ethread library will now use
instructions that first appeared on the pentium 4 processor. If
you want the runtime system to be compatible with older
processors (back to 486) you need to pass the
`--enable-ethread-pre-pentium4-compatibility' configure command
line argument when configuring the system.
