2016-01-20Introduce time warp safe replacement for safe_fixed optionRickard Green
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.

2010-11-22ETS 'compressed' option.Sverker Eriksson
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").
2010-10-06Documentation update to ETS and driversSverker Eriksson
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.

2010-08-10Rewrite ethread libraryRickard Green
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.
