2017-04-24Merge branch 'dgud/stdlib/unicode-string/OTP-10289'Dan Gudmundsson
* dgud/stdlib/unicode-string/OTP-10289: Handle chardata in string:to_float and string:to_list New unicode aware string module that works with unicode:chardata() Add nf(k)d, nf(k)c conversion functions to unicode module Reorder code and whitespace fixes Add unicode_util
2017-04-24New unicode aware string module that works with unicode:chardata()Dan Gudmundsson
Works with unicode:chardata() as input as was decided on OTP board meeting as response to EEP-35 a long time ago. Works on graphemes clusters as base, with a few exceptions, does not handle classic (nor nfd'ified) Hangul nor the extended grapheme clusters such as the prepend class. That would make handling binaries as input/output very slow. List input => list output, binary input => binary output and mixed input => mixed output for all find/split functions. So that results can be post-processed without the need to invoke unicode:characters_to_list|binary for intermediate data. pad functions return lists of unicode:chardata() for performance.

* raimo/rand-dev/OTP-14295: Implement Xoroshiro116+ and improve statisticals
2017-04-21Implement Xoroshiro116+ and improve statisticalsRaimo Niskanen
Implement Xoroshiro116+ as 'exrop' with fixes. Deprecate all old algorithms but reincarnate 'exs1024' as 'exs1024s' and 'exsplus' as 'exsp' with fixes. Fixes: * Avoid skew for uniform integers caused by using a simple 'rem' operation for range confinement. Correctness requires retry with new random value for an unfortunate first value. * Implement a correct algorithm that collects enough random bits for ranges larger than the generator's precision. * Fix uniform density for floats by acquiring 53 bits then multiplying with 2.0^(-53) which produces floats on the form N * 2.0^(-53).

2017-02-21filename: Add safe_relative_path/1Björn Gustavsson
Add safe_relative_path/1 to guard against directory traversal attacks. It either returns a shorter path without any ".." or "." components, or 'unsafe' if an ".." component would climb up above the root of the relative path. Here are a few examples: safe_relative_path("a/b/..") => "a" safe_relative_path("a/..") => "" safe_relative_path("a/../..") => unsafe safe_relative_path("/absolute/path") => unsafe The returned path can be used directly or combined with an absolute path using filename:join/2.

Update erl_tar to support PAX format (redux) OTP-14226
2017-02-16Update erl_tar to support PAX format, etc.Paul Schoenfelder
This commit introduces the following key changes: - Support for reading tar archives in formats currently in common use, such as v7, STAR, USTAR, PAX, and GNU tar's extensions to the STAR/USTAR format. - Support for writing PAX archives, only when necessary, using USTAR when possible for greater portability. These changes result in lifting of some prior restrictions: - Support for reading archives produced by modern tar implementations when other restrictions described below are present. - Support for filenames which exceed 100 bytes in length, or paths which exceed 255 bytes (see USTAR format specification for more details on this restriction). - Support for filenames of arbitrary length - Support for unicode metadata (the previous behaviour of erl_tar was actually violating the spec, by writing unicode-encoded data to fields which are defined to be 7-bit ASCII, even though this technically worked when using erl_tar at source and destination, it may not have worked with other tar utilities, and this implementation now conforms to the spec). - Support for uid/gid values which cannot be converted to octal integers.
2017-02-08Deprecate filename:find_src/1/2Richard Carlsson
2017-02-06Add shell shortcut for recompiling existing modulesRichard Carlsson
This extends the shell function c/1 and c/2 so that if the argument is a module name instead of a file name, it automatically locates the .beam file and the corresponding source file, and then recompiles the module using the same compiler options (plus any options passed to c/2). If compilation fails, the old beam file is preserved. Also adds c(Mod, Opts, Filter), where the Filter argument allows you to remove old compiler options before the new options are added.
2017-02-04Add filelib:find_file/2/3 and filelib:find_source/1/2/3Richard Carlsson
This moves, extends and exports functionality that previously existed only internally in filename:find_src/1/2, adding the ability to automatically substitute file suffixes and use different rules for different suffixes.
