2011-11-30Fix dialyzer warning about gen_event callback init/1 in log_mf_hSiri Hansen
The warning is about log_mf_h having a different spec for gen_event callback init/1 than defined in gen_event.erl. log_mf_h allows return value {error,Reason}, while gen_even only specifies successful return values. This commit add {error,Reason} as a valid return value to the gen_event callback, since this is handled by the code.
2011-11-29Fix dialyzer warnings in supervisorSiri Hansen
Dialyzer complained over a mismatch between the callback spec of Mod:code_change in gen_server and the spec of supervisor:code_change (which is the implementation of a gen_server Mod:code_change). This commit changes the callback spec to allow {error,Reason} as return value. Also, release_handler is updated to handle this return value.

2011-10-13Allow noncharacter code points in unicode encoding and decodingBjörn Gustavsson
The two noncharacter code points 16#FFFE and 16#FFFF were not allowed to be encoded or decoded using the unicode module or bit syntax. That causes an inconsistency, since the noncharacters 16#FDD0 to 16#FDEF could be encoded/decoded. There is two ways to fix that inconsistency. We have chosen to allow 16#FFFE and 16#FFFF to be encoded and decoded, because the noncharacters could be useful internally within an application and it will make encoding and decoding slightly faster.

2011-10-10Allow an infinite timeout to shutdown worker processesChristopher Faulet
Now, in child specification, the shutdown value can also be set to infinity for worker children. This restriction was removed because this is not always possible to predict the shutdown time for a worker. This is highly application-dependent.

2011-09-16Explain how dynamic child processes are stoppedChristopher Faulet
2011-09-16Explicitly kill dynamic children in supervisorsChristopher Faulet
According to the supervisor's documentation: "Important note on simple-one-for-one supervisors: The dynamically created child processes of a simple-one-for-one supervisor are not explicitly killed, regardless of shutdown strategy, but are expected to terminate when the supervisor does (that is, when an exit signal from the parent process is received)." All is fine as long as we stop simple_one_for_one supervisor manually. Dynamic children catch the exit signal from the supervisor and leave. But, if this happens when we stop an application, after the top supervisor has stopped, the application master kills all remaining processes associated to this application. So, dynamic children that trap exit signals can be killed during their cleanup (here we mean inside terminate/2). This is unpredictable and highly time-dependent. In this commit, supervisor module is patched to explicitly terminate dynamic children accordingly to the shutdown strategy. NOTE: Order in which dynamic children are stopped is not defined. In fact, this is "almost" done at the same time.

2011-08-23fix supervisors restarting temporary childrenFred Hebert
In the current implementation of supervisors, temporary children should never be restarted. However, when a temporary child is restarted as part of a one_for_all or rest_for_one strategy where the failing process is not the temporary child, the supervisor still tries to restart it. Because the supervisor doesn't keep some of the MFA information of temporary children, this causes the supervisor to hit its restart limit and crash. This patch fixes the behaviour by inserting a clause in terminate_children/2-3 (private function) that will omit temporary children when building a list of killed processes, to avoid having the supervisor trying to restart them again. Only supervisors in need of restarting children used the list, so the change should be of no impact for the functions that called terminate_children/2-3 only to kill all children. The documentation has been modified to make this behaviour more explicit.
