* dev: Make the check_old_code/1 BIF auto-imported Deprecate the docbuilder application Conflicts: lib/stdlib/src/otp_internal.erl
2011-09-01Make the check_old_code/1 BIF auto-importedBjörn Gustavsson
check_old_code/1 was documented to be auto-imported, but in fact was not auto-imported. Since check_process_code/2 and the other code loading BIFs are now auto-imported, for consistency auto-import check_old_code/1 too.
2011-07-06Remove deprecated concat_binary/1Björn Gustavsson
concat_binary/1 was deprecated in R13B04, but already in the R10B-2 release, the documentation recommends using list_to_binary/1 instead.

2010-06-02Teach erl_lint to better override BIFs with local functions and importsPatrik Nyblom
Added only a few testcases in compiler:error_SUITE and guard_SUITE The new behaviour of warnings and errors when overriding autoimported BIF's: Bifs that were autoimported before R14 are dangerous because old code using them and overriding them in exports can start behaving differently. For newly added autoimports this can't happen to the new code that wants to (or dont want to) use them, why only warnings are added for the BIFs autoimported after the compilator change. Errors are issued only for code that could have worked in one way in R13 and now will behave in a different way. If overriding autoimport with local function: - if explicit -compile directive supresses autoimport -> no message else - if called from inside module - if pre R14 autoimported bif -> error else -> warning else -> no message If overriding autoimport with import directive - if explicit -compile directive supresses autoimport -> no message else (regardless of actual usage) - if pre R14 autoimported bif -> error else -> warning Calls of local functions or imports overriding autoimported functions (either post R14 or by using explicit -compile supressions of autoimport) always goes to the local function or the imported. The compileation errors are added to not let code like this silently and disastrously change its semantic (probably to an infinite loop) between R13 and R14: ---------- -module(m). -export([length/1]). length(X) -> ... Y = length(Z), .... ---------- The user has to select if he/she wants to call length in 'erlang' explicitly or if the overriding semantics is desired, in which case the -compile directive has to be used. -compile({no_auto_import,[F/A]}). Is added to allow to override the autoimports so that code gets unanbiguous. The directive will remove an autoimport even if there is no local function or import overriding, because any other behaviour would be inconsistent and confusing. record_info and module_info can never be overridden.
2010-05-24Change binary_to_term/2 to be auto-importedJayson Vantuyl
While binary_to_term/2 was added in R13B04, it wasn't auto-imported. This conformed to longstanding policy of not changing auto-imports between major versions. This patch contains changes to auto-import binary_to_term/2 to coincide with the release of R14.

2010-05-17Add guard BIFs binary_part/2,3Patrik Nyblom
Add the gc_bif's to the VM. Add infrastructure for gc_bif's (guard bifs that can gc) with two and. three arguments in VM (loader and VM). Add compiler support for gc_bif with three arguments. Add compiler (and interpreter) support for new guard BIFs. Add testcases for new guard BIFs in compiler and emulator.
