2015-04-30stdlib: Document and add normal distributed random value functionDan Gudmundsson
It is needed in various tests. It uses the Ziggurat algorithm, which is the fastest that I know.
2015-04-14stdlib: Correct orddict(3)Hans Bolinder
fold() and map() handle elements in a well-defined order. Thanks to Rabbe Fogelholm for pointing out the bug.

2015-03-10Make the scanned form of the io_lib format strings available for processingRichard Carlsson
This adds three new functions to io_lib - scan_format/2, unscan_format/1, and build_text/1 - which expose the parsed form of the format control sequences to make it possible to easily modify or filter the input to io_lib:format/2. This can e.g. be used in order to replace unbounded-size control sequences like ~w or ~p with corresponding depth-limited ~W and ~P before doing the actual formatting.

2014-09-19Optimise io requests for long message queuesMagnus Henoch
Ensure that the monitor reference is present in all receive clauses, so that the compiler optimisation kicks in and the run time won't depend on the length of the message queue of the calling process. Remove the 'EXIT' clause, as its presence breaks the optimisation, and that case is handled by the 'DOWN' clause anyway. The test io_SUITE:io_with_huge_message_queue is an adaptation of gen_server_SUITE:call_with_huge_message_queue.

Adjacent separator characters are treated as one in string:tokens/2. This was shown in the example in the reference manual but it was not written in words. A note about this is now added.
