* sverker/fix-since-clauses/OTP-15460: Fix "since" for all multi clause functions
2019-01-15Fix "since" for all multi clause functionsSverker Eriksson
This is the result of going through all .xml files with "clause_i" attributes and make sure their "since" versions are correct.

`search/2` was sorted incorrectly.

2018-12-10stdlib: Update maps:iterator docs to not show iteratorLukas Larsson
The example should not show the iterator as that is an internal value and if changed can confuse the reader of the documentation. See ERL-796
2018-11-29stdlib: Let calendar:system_time_to_rfc3339() keep fractionsHans Bolinder
RFC3339 mentions in paragraph 5.1 that if certain conditions are fulfilled, then sorting date and time strings results in a time-ordered sequence. One of the conditions is that the strings must have the same number of fractional second digits. This commits makes sure this is indeed the case.

2018-11-05Optimize operator '--' and yield on large inputsJohn Högberg
The removal set now uses a red-black tree instead of an array on large inputs, decreasing runtime complexity from `n*n` to `n*log(n)`. It will also exit early when there are no more items left in the removal set, drastically improving performance and memory use when the items to be removed are present near the head of the list. This got a lot more complicated than before as the overhead of always using a red-black tree was unacceptable when either of the inputs were small, but this compromise has okay-to-decent performance regardless of input size.

2018-10-19beam_lib: Remove obsolete module() from the beam() typeBjörn Gustavsson
The type `beam()` in the `beam_lib` module is confusing: -type beam() :: module() | file:filename() | binary(). It says that the module name can be used to identify the BEAM module to be accessed, but passing in the module name only works if the BEAM file is located in the current working directory because the module is not searched for in the code path. The reason that it is allowed to pass in the module name as an atom is for backward compatibility. A long time ago, atoms instead of strings were used as filenames. For that reason, `filename` and `file` still accept atoms as filenames (although the practice is frown upon). `beam_lib` accepts an atom as the filename for the same reason. To remove the confusion, remove `module()` from the type and the mention of it in the documentation. Code that uses an atom as a filename will still work, but Dialyzer will issue a warning. https://bugs.erlang.org/browse/ERL-696

2018-09-07[supervisor] Add warning about race conditionSiri Hansen
ERL-724: "During a 'gentle' shutdown, supervisors unlink from their children before sending shutdown signals to them. This can lead to a race condition in supervision trees, when the timeout for gentle shutdown of a parent supervisor expires and it kills a child supervisor that has just unlinked from a child of its own, leaving the child supervisor's own child still running after its supervisor is killed." This commit adds a warning about this in the documentation.
