2018-11-05Optimize operator '--' and yield on large inputsJohn Högberg
The removal set now uses a red-black tree instead of an array on large inputs, decreasing runtime complexity from `n*n` to `n*log(n)`. It will also exit early when there are no more items left in the removal set, drastically improving performance and memory use when the items to be removed are present near the head of the list. This got a lot more complicated than before as the overhead of always using a red-black tree was unacceptable when either of the inputs were small, but this compromise has okay-to-decent performance regardless of input size.

2018-10-19beam_lib: Remove obsolete module() from the beam() typeBjörn Gustavsson
The type `beam()` in the `beam_lib` module is confusing: -type beam() :: module() | file:filename() | binary(). It says that the module name can be used to identify the BEAM module to be accessed, but passing in the module name only works if the BEAM file is located in the current working directory because the module is not searched for in the code path. The reason that it is allowed to pass in the module name as an atom is for backward compatibility. A long time ago, atoms instead of strings were used as filenames. For that reason, `filename` and `file` still accept atoms as filenames (although the practice is frown upon). `beam_lib` accepts an atom as the filename for the same reason. To remove the confusion, remove `module()` from the type and the mention of it in the documentation. Code that uses an atom as a filename will still work, but Dialyzer will issue a warning. https://bugs.erlang.org/browse/ERL-696

2018-10-11Merge pull request #1969 from RaimoNiskanen/raimo/stdlib/rand-xorshift116ssRaimo Niskanen
OTP-14731 Implement 'exsss' (Xorshift116**) as new default 'rand' algorithm The new algorithm is a combination of the Xorshift116 ('exsp') state update and a new scrambler "StarStar" from the 2018 paper "Scrambled Linear Pseudorandom Number Generators" by David Blackman and Sebastiano Vigna. This combination should not have the caveat of weak low bits that the previous default algorithm(s) have had, with the cost of about 10% lower speed.

2018-09-18Merge pull request #1857 from RaimoNiskanen/raimo/rand-crypto-xoroshiro928Raimo Niskanen
OTP-14461 - New 'rand' algorithm: Xoroshiro928** also for 'crypto' Implement a new 'rand' algorithm named 'exro928ss' and a new 'crypto' plugin for 'rand' named 'crypto_aes'. Both are based on Xoroshiro928** which is derived from Xoroshiro1024** modified to use 58-bit words for performance reasons in the Erlang VM. Xoroshiro1024** has got the Xoroshiro1024 generator and the StarStar scrambler from the 2018 paper "Scrambled Linear Pseudorandom Number Generators" by David Blackman and Sebastiano Vigna. This generator and scrambler combination shows no systematic weaknesses in standard statistical tests as TestU01(BigCrush) and PractRand, unlike the previously used * and + scramblers in the 'rand' module that exhibit statistical weaknesses for the lowest bits. The 'crypto' plugin uses AES-256 as scrambler and the Xoroshiro928 as generator, which gives the same very long period and jump functions as for Xoroshiro928**, but a cryptographically secure scrambler gives absolutely no detectable statistical weaknesses regardless of how the generated numbers are used. The speed of 'exro928ss' is only about 30-50% slower than the default fast 'rand' algorithm, but the state is roughly the double and it produces about 8 times the garbage per iteration. The speed of 'crypto_aes' is about half (amortized) that of the default fast 'rand' algorithm which is fast and thanks to doing encryption in batches caching the result. Hence the state is much larger.

2018-09-07[supervisor] Add warning about race conditionSiri Hansen
ERL-724: "During a 'gentle' shutdown, supervisors unlink from their children before sending shutdown signals to them. This can lead to a race condition in supervision trees, when the timeout for gentle shutdown of a parent supervisor expires and it kills a child supervisor that has just unlinked from a child of its own, leaving the child supervisor's own child still running after its supervisor is killed." This commit adds a warning about this in the documentation.
