2017-10-12Revert "Merge branch 'rickard/null-char-filenames/ERL-370/OTP-14543' into maint"Rickard Green
This reverts commit 0717a2194e863f3a78595184ccc5637697f03353, reversing changes made to 71a40658a0cef8b3e25df3a8e48a72d0563a89bf.
2017-10-11Don't allow null chars in various stringsRickard Green
Various places that now reject null chars inside strings - Primitive file operations reject it in filenames. - Primitive environment variable operations reject it in names and values. - os:cmd() reject it in its input. Also '=' characters are rejected by primitive environment variable operations in environment variable names. Documentation has been updated to document null characters in these types of data as invalid. Currently these operations accept null chars at the end of strings, but that will change in the future.

2017-10-04Implement escaping of special characters in wildcardsBjörn Gustavsson
Allow characters with special meaning to be escaped using \ (which must be writen as \\ in a string). That allows matching of filenames containing characters that are special in wildcards. This is an incompatible change, but note that the use of backslashes in wildcards would already work differently on Windows and Unix. Take for example this call: filelib:wildcard("a\\b") On Windows, filelib:wildcard/1 would look for a directory named "a", and a file or directory named "b" inside it. On Unix, filelib:wildcard/1 would look for a file named "a\\b". With this commit applied, filelib:wildcard/1 will look for a file named "ab" on both Windows and Unix. https://bugs.erlang.org/browse/ERL-451

2017-09-27Do not load .erlang from current dirDan Gudmundsson
It may be confusing that "hidden" .erlang is loaded from the current working directory. Use c:erlangrc([Dir1,..]) to search and load .erlang from other places than "$HOME/.erlang". Implies that c:erlangrc() needs to be documented.

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.
