The default maximum number of slots of Dets tables has been changed to
be equal to the maximum number of slots.

* sverker/ets_compress/OTP-8922:
ETS 'compressed' option.
|
|
The compressed format is using a slighty modified variant of the extern format
(term_to_binary). To not worsen key lookup's too much, the top tuple itself
and the key element are not compressed. Table objects with only immediate
non-key elements will therefor not gain anything (but actually consume one
extra word for "alloc_size").

|
* ml/re-manpage-cleanup:
Improve the 're' manpage by correcting typos and rewording
|
|
* sverker/doc-fixes/OTP-8880:
Documentation update to ETS and drivers
|
|
Correct typos (e.g. it's -> its as appropriate).
Reword some sections for clarity.
|
|
State more clearly that ETS functions will throw badarg if calling
process lacks access right. And that driver stop callback should free
memory allocted by start.
|
|
|
|
Make it explicit that the shutdown timeout is to be specified in
milliseconds.

* rickard/ethread-rewrite/OTP-8544:
Rewrite ethread library
|
|
Large parts of the ethread library have been rewritten. The
ethread library is an Erlang runtime system internal, portable
thread library used by the runtime system itself.
Most notable improvement is a reader optimized rwlock
implementation which dramatically improve the performance of
read-lock/read-unlock operations on multi processor systems by
avoiding ping-ponging of the rwlock cache lines. The reader
optimized rwlock implementation is used by miscellaneous
rwlocks in the runtime system that are known to be read-locked
frequently, and can be enabled on ETS tables by passing the
`{read_concurrency, true}' option upon table creation. See the
documentation of `ets:new/2' for more information.
The ethread library can now also use the libatomic_ops library
for atomic memory accesses. This makes it possible for the
Erlang runtime system to utilize optimized atomic operations
on more platforms than before. Use the
`--with-libatomic_ops=PATH' configure command line argument
when specifying where the libatomic_ops installation is
located. The libatomic_ops library can be downloaded from:
http://www.hpl.hp.com/research/linux/atomic_ops/
The changed API of the ethread library has also caused
modifications in the Erlang runtime system. Preparations for
the to come "delayed deallocation" feature has also been done
since it depends on the ethread library.
Note: When building for x86, the ethread library will now use
instructions that first appeared on the pentium 4 processor. If
you want the runtime system to be compatible with older
processors (back to 486) you need to pass the
`--enable-ethread-pre-pentium4-compatibility' configure command
line argument when configuring the system.

* sv/format_status_error_info:
Add support for the format_status callback to gen_event
Extend format_status for gen_server/gen_fsm termination error logging
OTP-8630 sv/format_status_error_info
When a gen_server, gen_fsm process, or gen_event terminates abnormally,
sometimes the text representation of the process state can occupy many
lines of the error log, depending on the definition of the state term. A
mechanism to trim out parts of the state from the log has been added (using
a format_status/2 callback). See the documentation.

Correct behaviour of copy/2 witn 0 copies.
|
|
The documentation of lists:keysort/2 states that the sort is stable.
|
|
The gen_server and gen_fsm behaviors support the format_status
callback to allow developers to specialize how callback module state
appears within the return value of sys:get_status and within logged
output resulting from abnormal process termination. This patch adds
similar support to gen_event.
Event handlers that export a format_status/2 function, which is an
optional callback, and are registered with an event manager will now
have their format_status callbacks invoked when sys:get_status is
called on the event manager. The term returned from format_status for
this case replaces the default handler state in the sys:get_status
return value.
This patch also extends gen_event to call an event handler's
format_status function (if it exports one) should the handler
terminate abnormally. The term returned from format_status is logged
in place of the handler's state. This is intended to allow developers
to control how much output is logged in the case of abnormal
termination.
The documentation is appropriately extended and new unit tests are
added to cover the new gen_event format_status functionality.

When a gen_server or gen_fsm process terminates abnormally, sometimes
the text representation of the process state can occupy many lines of
the error log, depending on the definition of the state
term. Developers sometimes would like a way to trim out parts of the
state from the log if those parts don't contribute to documenting the
circumstances of the error, thereby helping to reduce the amount of
logged output.
Since the format_status callback can already format and specialize
gen_server and gen_fsm state for inclusion in the term returned from
sys:get_status, this patch extends format_status in a
backward-compatible way to also be able to specialize the state logged
for abnormal gen_server and gen_fsm termination, and includes new unit
tests to verify the new functionality.
This patch also eliminates the previous restriction that the status
returned by format_status must be a list. It can now be any term.
The documentation is extended to cover the new usage for
format_status, and it's been improved to recommend a form for the
normal case that allows the returned status to fit well with the rest
of the term returned by sys:get_status. The documentation is clear
that this form is only recommended, not required.

The beam_lib:cmp/2 function only compares the executable parts
of the BEAM files, not attributes or abstract code. Since the
types and specs (used by Dialyzer) are contained in the abstract
code, beam_lib:cmp/2 will return 'ok' if the only difference
between two BEAM file are in the types or specs.
If an Erlang/OTP system is installed in a revision control
system, and beam_lib:cmp/2 is used to avoid committing unchanged
but newly compiled BEAM files, BEAM files with no other changes
than in types or specs may not get updated, which can problems
if Dialyzer or the debugger is run.
To avoid that problem, change beam_lib:cmp/2 to compare all
chunks *except* for the "CInf" chunk. The "CInf" chunk contains
the compilation time, compiler options, and compiler version.

The function erl_scan:reserved_word/1 no longer returns true when given the
word spec. This bug was introduced in STDLIB-1.15.3 (R12B-3).

Works like timer:tc/3 but for anonymous functions.

"Lose" means not "not win", but "loose" means "not tight".
Change "loose" to "lose" where appropriate.

* hawk/escript-add-create-and-extract:
Add type info for record fields
Remove the undocumented function escript:foldl/3
Make reltool independent of the function escript:foldl/3
Add functions to create and extract escripts
Add function zip:foldl/3 to iterate over zip archives
OTP-8521 hawk/escript-add-create-and-extract
Added function zip:foldl/3 to iterate over zip archives.
Added functions to create and extract escripts. See escript:create/2 and
escript:extract/2.
The undocumented function escript:foldl/3 has been removed. The same
functionality can be achieved with the more flexible functions
escript:extract/2 and zip:foldl/3.
Record fields has been annotated with type info. Source files as been
adapted to fit within 80 chars and trailing whitespace hasd been removed.

This is the public interface of prim_zip:open/3,
which has been used in earlier releases by both
erl_prim_loader and escript. The new function
can be used as a replacement for the undocumented
function escript:foldl/3 that is likely to be
removed without further notice.
The error handling of prim_zip:open/3 (and
prim_zip:foldl/3) has been improved in order to
better suite a public interface. For example it
could happen that a file or a zlib port could be
left open in some errors cases.
The documentation of the FileSpec parameter to
zip:create/3 has been updated to show that
file info can be explicitly specified. A FileSpec
may contain {Filename, binary(), #file_info{}}
elements. The function zip:create/3 was already
prepared to partly support this, but now after
a few minor fixes it is fully supported.

* ml/documentation_apostrophe_fix:
Correct grammatical problems in conjunction with 'its'
Change all incorrect occurrences of it's to its
OTP-8523 ml/documentation_apostrophe_fix
|
|
The documentation (*.xml) in the otp tree has a common grammatical
problem, "it's" and "its" are often interchanged. That is annoying
for some readers.
This commit consists entirely of "it's" -> "its" changes. I went
through every .xml file in the tree. If there are any remaining
bugs of this type, it's because I missed them, not because I
didn't look.
