2015-09-07proc_lib: Add format/3Björn Gustavsson
We'll need a way to limit the size of the crash report produced by proc_lib:format(). Add format/3, where the third argument is a depth argument.

2015-06-15dialyzer: Modify the handling of parametrized opaque typesHans Bolinder
In OTP 17 it is possible to mix types such as dict:dict() and dict:dict(_, _) outside of the dict module (and similarly for some other opaque types in STDLIB), but the results are unfortunately possibly invalid warnings in users' code. In OTP 18 parameterized opaque types with the same name but with different number of parameters are no longer compatible when seen from outside of the module where the types are declared. The types in STDLIB have been updated accordingly; for instance -opaque dict() :: dict(_, _). has been replaced by -type dict() :: dict(_, _).
2015-06-03Break out assert macros from eunit to stdlib assert.hrlRichard Carlsson
Several people have requested that the assert macros in EUnit should be moved out to a separate header file. This patch puts them in stdlib/include/assert.hrl, which gets included by the eunit.hrl file. Thus, nothing changes for eunit users, but the asserts can now also be included separately.

2015-05-29Update orddict with parameterized types and specsUENISHI Kota
With parametrized types and specs, modules using orddict can be statically checked with dialyzer. Although orddict have not been builtin types, it is good and more natural to have its exported types and specs aligned to builtin types.
2015-05-26Don't store child that returns ignore in simple supervisorJames Fish
If a child of a simple_one_for_one returns ignore from its start function no longer store the child for any restart type. It is not possible to restart or delete the child because the supervisor is a simple_one_for_one. Previously a simple_one_for_one would crash, potentially without shutting down all of its children, when it tried to shutdown a child with undefined pid. Previous only one undefined pid child was stored in a simple_one_for_one supervisor no matter how many times the child start function returned ignore.

Introduce erl_anno, an abstraction of the second element of tokens and tuples in the abstract format. The convention that negative line numbers can be used for silencing compiler warnings will no longer work in OTP 19; instead the annotation 'generated' is to be used.

2015-03-10Make the scanned form of the io_lib format strings available for processingRichard Carlsson
This adds three new functions to io_lib - scan_format/2, unscan_format/1, and build_text/1 - which expose the parsed form of the format control sequences to make it possible to easily modify or filter the input to io_lib:format/2. This can e.g. be used in order to replace unbounded-size control sequences like ~w or ~p with corresponding depth-limited ~W and ~P before doing the actual formatting.
