2016-04-22Promote gen_statem over gen_fsmRaimo Niskanen
2016-04-21Modify code_change/4 to return CallbackModeRaimo Niskanen
Also move check of non-atom states in callback mode state_functions to where the state function is called. This gives homogenous diagnostics for state functions, code_change/4 and system_replace_state StateFun. Irregularities pointed out by James Fish.

2016-02-29Remove the remove_event action and all alikeRaimo Niskanen
Removing events from the internal queues is not necessary with the choosen semantics of the event queue vs. hibernate. In an early implementation it was possible by combining hibernate with e.g. postpone to get an event in the queue that you would not see before processing the postponed event, and therefore should you decide to cancel a timer it was essential to be able to remove that unseen event from the queue. With the choosen semantics you will have to postpone or generate an event for it to be in the event queue, and if you e.g. postpone a timeout event and then cancel the timer it is your mistake. You have seen the event and should know better than to try to cancel the timer. So, the actions: remove_event, cancel_timer, demonitor and unlink are now removed. There have also been some cleanup of the timer handling code.

2016-02-03Speed up supervisor:count_children/1; simple_one_for_oneRory Byrne
Speed up supervisor:count_children/1 for simple_one_for_one supervisors. This is achieved by avoiding looping through all the child process and verifying that each one is alive. For a supervisor with 100,000 'temporary' children the count-time will drop from approx 25ms to about 0.005ms. For a supervisor with 100,000 'permanent' or 'transient' children the count-time will drop from approx 30ms to about 0.005ms. This avoids having the supervisor block for an extended period while the count takes place. Under normal circumstances the accuracy of the result should also improve since the duration is too short for many processes to die during the count.

* maint: Introduce time management in native APIs Introduce time warp safe replacement for safe_fixed option Introduce time warp safe trace timestamp formats Conflicts: erts/emulator/beam/erl_bif_trace.c erts/emulator/beam/erl_driver.h erts/emulator/beam/erl_nif.h erts/emulator/beam/erl_trace.c erts/preloaded/ebin/erlang.beam
2016-01-20Introduce time warp safe replacement for safe_fixed optionRickard Green
The new time warp safe option is safe_fixed_monotonic_time which gives erlang:monotonic_time(). The safe_fixed option was also slightly changed. It now gives erlang:timestamp() instead of erlang:now(). This has however not been documented, so it is considered a compatible change. The above effects both ets, and dets. This commit also include the bugfix OTP-13239 for dets:info(Tab, safe_fixed). The timestamp in the result returned by dets:info(Tab, safe_fixed) was unintentionally broken as a result of the time API rewrites in OTP 18.0.
2016-01-20stdlib: Update erl_parse(3)Hans Bolinder
Calls to map_anno(), fold_anno(), and mapfold_anno() with lists of erl_parse trees have been replaced. Those functions accept lists of erl_parse trees, but it was not the intention when the functions were introduced, and it is not documented.
