To add a type-testing guard BIF, the following steps are needed:
* The BIF itself is added to bif.tab (note that it should be declared
using "ubif", not "bif"), and its implementation to erl_bif_op.c.
* erl_internal must be modified in 3 places: The type test must be
recognized as guard BIF, as a type test, and it must be auto-imported.
* There must be an instruction that implements the same type test as
the BIF (it will be used in guards). beam_utils:bif_to_test/3 must
be updated to recognize the new guard BIF.

A process requesting a system task to be executed in the context of
another process will be notified by a message when the task has
executed. This message will be on the form:
{RequestType, RequestId, Pid, Result}.
A process requesting a system task to be executed can set priority
on the system task. The requester typically set the same priority
on the task as its own process priority, and by this avoiding
priority inversion. A request for execution of a system task is
made by calling the statically linked in NIF
erts_internal:request_system_task(Pid, Prio, Request). This is an
undocumented ERTS internal function that should remain so. It
should *only* be called from BIF implementations.
Currently defined system tasks are:
* garbage_collect
* check_process_code
Further system tasks can and will be implemented in the future.
The erlang:garbage_collect/[1,2] and erlang:check_process_code/[2,3]
BIFs are now implemented using system tasks. Both the
'garbage_collect' and the 'check_process_code' operations perform
or may perform garbage_collections. By doing these via the
system task functionality all garbage collect operations in the
system will be performed solely in the context of the process
being garbage collected. This makes it possible to later implement
functionality for disabling garbage collection of a process over
context switches.
Newly introduced BIFs:
* erlang:garbage_collect/2 - The new second argument is an option
list. Introduced option:
* {async, RequestId} - making it possible for users to issue
asynchronous garbage collect requests.
* erlang:check_process_code/3 - The new third argument is an
option list. Introduced options:
* {async, RequestId} - making it possible for users to issue
asynchronous check process code requests.
* {allow_gc, boolean()} - making it possible to issue requests
that aren't allowed to garbage collect (operation will abort
if gc should be needed).
These options have been introduced as a preparation for
parallelization of check_process_code operations when the
code_server is about to purge a module.

This BIF solves a problem of float_to_list/1 that doesn't allow
specifying the number of digits after the decimal point when
formatting floats.
float_to_list(Float, Options) -> string()
Float = float()
Options = [Option]
Option = {decimals, Decimals::0..249} |
{scientific, Decimals::0..249} |
compact
Returns a string which corresponds to the text representation of
a `Float` formatted using given options.
When decimals option is specified the returned value will contain
at most `Decimals` number of digits past the decimal point.
When `compact` option is provided the trailing zeros at the end
of the list are truncated (this option is only meaningful together
with the `decimals` option). When `scientific` option is provided,
the float will be formatted using scientific notation with
`Decimals` digits of precision. If `Options` is `[]` the function
behaves like `float_to_list/1`. When using `decimals` option and
the number doesn't fit in the static internal buffer of 256 bytes
the function throws `badarg`.

* dev:
Make the check_old_code/1 BIF auto-imported
Deprecate the docbuilder application
Conflicts:
lib/stdlib/src/otp_internal.erl
|
|
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.
|
|
concat_binary/1 was deprecated in R13B04, but already in
the R10B-2 release, the documentation recommends using
list_to_binary/1 instead.

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.

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.
