2017-08-05Add {continue, Term} and handle_continue/2 to gen_serverJosé Valim
If the gen_server process needs to perform an action immediately after initialization or to break the execution of a callback into multiple steps, it can return {continue, term()} in place of the time-out or hibernation value, which will immediately invoke the handle_continue/2 callback with the given term. This provides a more accessible approach to after initialization compared to proc_lib+enter_loop that is also guaranteed to be safe. It also allows callbacks that need to do lengthy or stateful work to checkpoint the state throughout multiple iterations. This can be useful, for example, when implementing behaviours on top of gen_server.

Return error tuple on unicode normalization functions
2017-05-22Return error tuple on unicode normalization functionsJosé Valim
Prior to this patch, the normalization functions in the unicode module would raise a function clause error for non-utf8 binaries. This patch changes it so it returns {error, SoFar, Invalid} as characters_to_binary and characters_to_list does in the unicode module. Note string:next_codepoint/1 and string:next_grapheme had to be changed accordingly and also return an error tuple.

2017-04-27stdlib: Improve the Erlang shell's handling of referencesHans Bolinder
As of Erlang/OTP 20.0, the type of ETS tables, ets:tid(), is a reference(). A request was put forward that the Erlang shell should be able to handle references in its input. This commit introduces an extended parser in module lib. It can parse pids, ports, references, and external funs under the condition that they can be created in the running system. The parser is meant to be used internally in Erlang/OTP. The alternative, to extend erl_scan and erl_parse, was deemed inferior as it would require the abstract format be able to represent pids, ports, references, and funs, which would be confusing as they are not expressions as such, but data types.

Introduce new "Dbgi" chunk OTP-14369
2017-04-25Document that app names and nodes names are restricted to latin-1Siri Hansen
2017-04-25Store abstract code in the Dbgi chunkJosé Valim
The new Dbgi chunk returns data in the following format: {debug_info_v1, Backend, Data} This allows compilers to store the debug info in different formats. In order to retrieve a particular format, for instance, Erlang Abstract Format, one may invoke: Backend:debug_info(erlang_v1, Module, Data, Opts) Besides introducing the chunk above, this commit also: * Changes beam_lib:chunk(Beam, [:abstract_code]) to read from the new Dbgi chunk while keeping backwards compatibility with old .beams * Adds the {debug_info, {Backend, Data}} option to compile:file/2 and friends that are stored in the Dbgi chunk. This allows the debug info encryption mechanism to work across compilers * Improves dialyzer to work directly on Core Erlang, allowing languages that do not have the Erlang Abstract Format to be dialyzer as long as they emit the new chunk and their backend implementation is available Backwards compatibility is kept across the board except for those calling beam_lib:chunk(Beam, ["Abst"]), as the old chunk is no longer available. Note however the "Abst" chunk has always been optional. Future OTP versions may remove parsing the "Abst" chunk altogether from beam_lib once Erlang 19 and earlier is no longer supported. The current Dialyzer implementation still supports earlier .beam files and such may also be removed in future versions.

2017-04-24stdlib: Add Unicode modifier t to control sequence aHans Bolinder
The Unicode translation modifier 't' is added to the io:fread/2,3 control sequence 'a'.
2017-04-24stdlib: Add Unicode modifier t to control sequences w and WHans Bolinder
As of the introduction of Unicode characters in atoms, the control sequences 'w' and 'W' can return non-Latin-1 characters, unless some measure is taken. This commit makes sure that '~w' and '~W' always return Latin-1 characters, or bytes, which can be output to ports or written to raw files. The Unicode translation modifier 't' is needed to return non-Latin-1 characters.

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.
