2011-04-12Allow supervisor:terminate_child(SupRef,Pid) for simple_one_for_oneSiri Hansen
supervisor:terminate_child/2 was not allowed if the supervisor used restart strategy simple_one_for_one. This is now changed so that children of this type of supervisors can be terminated by specifying the child's Pid.

This change fixes a bunch of small (and a few less small) typos and other errors in various modules that I've spotted throughout my travels.

2011-03-02Add ISO week number calculation functions to the calendar module in stdlibImre Horvath
This new feature adds the missing week number function to the calendar module of the stdlib application. The implementation conforms to the ISO 8601 standard. The new feature has been implemented tested and documented.

* sverker/ets_compress/OTP-8922: ETS 'compressed' option.
2010-11-22ETS 'compressed' option.Sverker Eriksson
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").

2010-08-10Merge branch 'rickard/ethread-rewrite/OTP-8544' into devRickard Green
* rickard/ethread-rewrite/OTP-8544: Rewrite ethread library
2010-08-10Rewrite ethread libraryRickard Green
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.
