2014-09-18Add note about adjacent separator characters in string:tokens/2Siri Hansen
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.

The argument FormFunc is sys:handle_debug/4war erronously specified as dbg_fun(), which is a debug function. This has now been corrected by adding a new type, format_fun().

2014-03-25stdlib: Generalize erl_parse:abstract/2Hans Bolinder
The 'encoding' option of erl_parse:abstract/2 has been extended to include 'none' and a callback function (a predicate). The rationale is that a more general means of determining what integer lists are to be represented as strings may help readability when generating Erlang code given input in some other encoding than Latin-1 or UTF-8.

2014-03-21fix sys:get_state/1,2 and sys:replace_state/2,3 when sys suspendedSteve Vinoski
Add two new system callbacks Module:system_get_state/1 and Module:system_replace_state/2 to allow sys:get_state/1,2 and sys:replace_state/2,3 to operate correctly even if a process is sys suspended. Modify gen_server, gen_fsm, and gen_event to support the new callbacks. If a callback module does not export these functions, then by default the Misc value (the same as that passed as the final argument to sys:handle_system_msg/6, and returned as part of the return value of sys:get_status/1,2) is treated as the callback module's state. The previous behaviour of intercepting the system message and passing a tuple of size 2 as the last argument to sys:handle_system_msg/6 is no longer supported. Add tests to verify the correctness of sys:get_state/1,2 and sys:replace_state/2,3 when processes are sys suspended. Add two tests for modules that implement special processes, one that exports system_get_state/1 and system_replace_state/2 and one that doesn't. Much of the credit for this patch goes to James Fish, who reported the initial problem and implemented much of the fix.

2014-03-18epp: Make it possible to specify a default encodingBjörn Gustavsson
In the next commit, we will need a way to tell epp which the default encoding should be for files that have no encoding comment. We could add new open() and parse_file() functions with one extra argument for the encoding, but there are already too many variants. To avoid having to add an additional argument to epp:open() and epp:parse_file() each time new options are needed, introduce epp:open/1 and epp:parse_file/2 that takes a property list with options. Also support the new 'default_encoding' option for specifying the default encoding for source files. Thanks to Richard Carlsson for the idea and the implementation of the new functionality in epp.erl.

2014-02-23Deprecate pre-defined built-in typesHans Bolinder
The types array(), dict(), digraph(), gb_set(), gb_tree(), queue(), set(), and tid() have been deprecated. They will be removed in OTP 18.0. Instead the types array:array(), dict:dict(), digraph:graph(), gb_set:set(), gb_tree:tree(), queue:queue(), sets:set(), and ets:tid() can be used. (Note: it has always been necessary to use ets:tid().) It is allowed in OTP 17.0 to locally re-define the types array(), dict(), and so on. New types array:array/1, dict:dict/2, gb_sets:set/1, gb_trees:tree/2, queue:queue/1, and sets:set/1 have been added.
