* maint: filename: Add safe_relative_path/1 Conflicts: lib/stdlib/src/filename.erl
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.

2017-02-06Add 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.

2016-12-19Add take/2 to all dictionary modulesBjörn Gustavsson
Similar to maps:take/2, add take/2 to the other dictionary modules in STDLIB: orddict:take(Key, Dict) -> {Val,NewDict} | 'error'. dict:take(Key, Dict) -> {Val,NewDict} | 'error'. gb_trees:take(Key, Dict) -> {Val,NewDict}. For gb_trees also add: gb_trees:take_any(Key, Dict) -> {Val,NewDict} | 'error'. gb_trees already has delete() and delete_any(), so we will follow that design pattern. Suggested by Boris Bochkaryov in https://github.com/erlang/otp/pull/1209.

2016-11-14Add jump functions to rand moduleKenji Rikitake
Jump functions returns the state after performing jump calculation to a rand module internal state, which is equivalent to perform a large number of calls of calculating new states for XorShift*/+ algorithms. This commit add jump functions for exsplus and exs1024 algorithms, and a wrapper function jump/1. The wrapper function will cause error with reason "not_implemented" if the jump function for the algorithm is not implemented. This commit adds following new functionalities: - Add new functions rand:jump/0 and rand:jump/1 - Add the member jump to type alg_handler(), a fun for performing the jump function - Add jump functions for exsplus, equivalent to 2^64 calls - Add jump functions for exs1024, equivalent to 2^512 calls - Revise seed_put/1, seed/1, seed/2 See <https://github.com/erlang/otp/pull/1235#discussion_r86950557> - Add dummy jump function for exs64 calling erlang:error(not_implemented) - Add jump function test cases as follows: * Add Common Test group reference_jump * Add tests for jump/0 to reference_jump_procdict/1 * Rename tests for jump/1 to reference_jump_state/1 * Rename gen_jump/1 to gen_jump_1/1 * Add Common Tests reference_jump_procdict and reference_jump_state to the group reference_jump - Add jump function documentation This commit also changes the Copyright year for Kenji Rikitake's code from 2015 to 2015-2016.

2016-10-31Propagate exceptions fully when using proc_libLoïc Hoguin
This makes proc_lib behaves like a normal process as far as the propagation of exceptions is concerned. Before this commit, the following difference could be observed: 6> spawn_link(fun() -> ssl:send(a,b) end). <0.43.0> 7> flush(). Shell got {'EXIT',<0.43.0>, {function_clause, [{ssl,send,[a,b],[{file,"..."},{line,275}]}]}} ok 8> proc_lib:spawn_link(fun() -> ssl:send(a,b) end). <0.46.0> 9> flush(). Shell got {'EXIT',<0.46.0>,function_clause} After this commit, we get the following instead: 3> flush(). Shell got {'EXIT',<0.61.0>, {function_clause, [{ssl,send,[a,b],[{file,"..."},{line,275}]}, {proc_lib,init_p,3,[{file,"..."},{line,232}]}]}} The stacktrace will show minor differences of course but the form is now the same as without proc_lib. The rationale behind this commit is that: * We now have a single form regardless of how the process was started * We can use the stacktrace to programmatically alter behavior (for example an HTTP server identifying problems in input decoding to send back a generic 400, or a 500 otherwise) * We can access the stacktrace to print it somewhere (for example an HTTP server could send it back to the client when a debug mode is enabled)

2016-10-26Optimize event timeoutRaimo Niskanen
Do not start an event timer unless there are no enqueued events.
2016-10-26Rework timeout handlingRaimo Niskanen
Handling of timers and timeouts has been cleaned up and generalized. Semantic change regarding state timeout zero: Previously if one state caused a state timeout zero and managed to stay in the same state to insert additional timeout zero(s) in the next state callback invocation, then there would be only one timeout zero event. The mindset was that the machine was faster then the timeout zero. This has changed with the mindset that all state callback invocations should be independent, so now the machine will get one state timeout zero event per started state timeout zero. Note that just using zero timeouts is fairly esoteric...
