* hb/stdlib/digraph_condensation/OTP-9953: Remove loops from the graph created by digraph_utils:condensation/1
2012-03-05Leave control back to gen_server during supervisor's restart loopSiri Hansen
When an attempt to restart a child failed, supervisor would earlier keep the execution flow and try to restart the child over and over again until it either succeeded or the restart frequency limit was reached. If none of these happened, supervisor would hang forever in this loop. This commit adds a timer of 0 ms where the control is left back to the gen_server which implements the supervisor. This way any incoming request to the supervisor will be handled - which could help breaking the infinite loop - e.g. shutdown request for the supervisor or for the problematic child. This introduces some incompatibilities in stdlib due to new return values from supervisor: * restart_child/2 can now return {error,restarting} * delete_child/2 can now return {error,restarting} * which_children/1 returns a list of {Id,Child,Type,Mods}, where Child, in addition to the old pid() or 'undefined', now also can be 'restarting'.
2012-03-01Remove loops from the graph created by digraph_utils:condensation/1Hans Bolinder
The function digraph_utils:condensation/1 used to create a digraph containing loops contradicting the documentation which states that the created digraph is free of cycles. Thanks to Kostis Sagonas for finding the bug.

2011-11-30Fix dialyzer warning about gen_event callback init/1 in log_mf_hSiri Hansen
The warning is about log_mf_h having a different spec for gen_event callback init/1 than defined in gen_event.erl. log_mf_h allows return value {error,Reason}, while gen_even only specifies successful return values. This commit add {error,Reason} as a valid return value to the gen_event callback, since this is handled by the code.
2011-11-29Fix dialyzer warnings in supervisorSiri Hansen
Dialyzer complained over a mismatch between the callback spec of Mod:code_change in gen_server and the spec of supervisor:code_change (which is the implementation of a gen_server Mod:code_change). This commit changes the callback spec to allow {error,Reason} as return value. Also, release_handler is updated to handle this return value.

2011-11-24Add plugin support for alternative name lookupUlf Wiger
OTP behaviour instances (gen_server, gen_fsm, gen_event) can currently register themselves either locally or globally, and the behaviour libraries (including gen.erl) support both addressing methods, as well as the normal Pid and {Name, Node}. However, there are alternative registry implementations - e.g. gproc - and one can well imagine other ways of locating a behaviour instance, e.g. on a node connected only via a TCP tunnel, rather than via Distributed Erlang. In all these cases, one needs to write extra code to identify the behaviour instance, even though the instance itself need not be aware of how it is located. This patch introduces a new way of locating a behaviour instance: {via, Module, Name}. Module is expected to export a subset of the functions in global.erl, namely: register_name(Name, Pid) -> yes | no whereis_name(Name) -> pid() | undefined unregister_name(Name) -> ok send(Name, Msg) -> Pid Semantics are expected to be the same as for global.erl This can be used in all places where {global, Name} is accepted. faulty export in gen_fsm_SUITE.erl await process death in dummy_via:reset() fix error in gen_[server|fsm]:enter_loop() fix documentation

2011-10-13Allow noncharacter code points in unicode encoding and decodingBjörn Gustavsson
The two noncharacter code points 16#FFFE and 16#FFFF were not allowed to be encoded or decoded using the unicode module or bit syntax. That causes an inconsistency, since the noncharacters 16#FDD0 to 16#FDEF could be encoded/decoded. There is two ways to fix that inconsistency. We have chosen to allow 16#FFFE and 16#FFFF to be encoded and decoded, because the noncharacters could be useful internally within an application and it will make encoding and decoding slightly faster.
