Fix a bug in the linter regarding the 'fun M:F/A' construct
|
|
If the fun M:F/A construct was used erroneously the linter could
crash.
Thanks to Mikhail Sobolev for reporting the bug.
|
|
It makes no sense to be able to do `<<...,Rest/binary>> <= ...` in a
comprehension. The related Dialyzer test is removed.

The default_types() in erl_lint returned a dictionary
with all default types. However, calculating this dict
was expensive and we actually didn't use the default
values in this dictionary.
This patch replaces the dictionary use for one function
that checks if the type is a default type or not,
and remove the bits that checked explicitly for those
default types when iterating the dictionary.
|
|
The modifier 'l' can be used for turning off the string recognition of
~p and ~P.

There are currently no keywords reserved for the future.

All guards BIFs are auto-imported. That can be verified like this:
[] = [{F,A} || {erlang,F,A} <- erlang:system_info(snifs),
erl_internal:guard_bif(F, A),
not erl_internal:bif(F, A)]
Therefore, calling a guard BIF in a guard without a module name
is always allowed (provided that there is not a local function or
an import with the same name), and therefore we can remove the
error reporting code. But keep an assertion so that we will find
out if any non-auto-imported guard BIFs are added in the future.

Expect modifications, additions and corrections.
There is a kludge in file_io_server and
erl_scan:continuation_location() that's not so pleasing.

Tuple funs were deprecated in R15B (in commit a4029940e309518f5500).
|
|
The run-time warning for use of tuple funs will not catch the use
of literal tuple funs, such as:
if
{erlang,'+'}(3,X) =:= 0 -> true;
true -> false
end.
Therefore, add a compile-time warning to give users some warning
before they stop working in R16.

Attempting to call is_record/3 (without an erlang: prefix) from a
guard if there was a local function named is_record/3 would cause
a compiler crash. For consistency with other guard tests, disallow
the call.
is_record/2 in a guard will still be allowed (and work correctly)
even if there is a local is_record/2. It could be argued that
is_record/2 should be handled in the same way as is_record/3,
but changing that now could break working code.
|
|
If a guard test (such as is_list/1) has a local definition in a
module (or is imported), erl_lint will reject a call to it from
a guard if the call is not at the top-level:
foo(L) when is_list(L) =:= true -> %% Will be rejected.
ok.
is_list(_) -> ok.
But if the call is at the top-level, it will be accepted (and
cause a crash in a later compiler pass):
foo(L) when is_list(L) -> %% Will be accepted by erl_lint
ok.
is_list(_) -> ok.
This inconsistency was an oversight introduced when it became
possible to override BIFs with local definitions.
|
|
When a new built-in type is introduced, type definitions with the
same name will still be allowed for "a while".
|
|
Currently, the external fun syntax "fun M:F/A" only supports
literals. That is, "fun lists:reverse/1" is allowed but not
"fun M:F/A".
In many real-life situations, some or all of M, F, A are
not known until run-time, and one is forced to either use
the undocumented erlang:make_fun/3 BIF or to use a
"tuple fun" (which is deprecated).
EEP-23 suggests that the parser (erl_parse) should immediately
transform "fun M:F/A" to "erlang:make_fun(M, F, A)". We have
not followed that approach in this implementation, because we
want the abstract code to mirror the source code as closely
as possible, and we also consider erlang:make_fun/3 to
be an implementation detail that we might want to remove in
the future.
Instead, we will change the abstract format for "fun M:F/A" (in a way
that is not backwards compatible), and while we are at it, we will
move the translation from "fun M:F/A" to "erlang:make_fun(M, F, A)"
from sys_pre_expand down to the v3_core pass. We will also update
the debugger and xref to use the new format.
We did consider making the abstract format backward compatible if
no variables were used in the fun, but decided against it. Keeping
it backward compatible would mean that there would be different
abstract formats for the no-variable and variable case, and tools
would have to handle both formats, probably forever.

'behaviour_info(callbacks)' is a special function that is defined in a module
which describes a behaviour and returns a list of its callbacks.
This function is now automatically generated using the '-callback' specs. An
error is returned by lint if user defines both '-callback' attributes and the
behaviour_info/1 function. If no type info is needed for a callback use a
generic spec for it.
|
|
Behaviours may define specs for their callbacks using the familiar spec syntax,
replacing the '-spec' keyword with '-callback'. Simple lint checks are performed
to ensure that no callbacks are defined twice and all types referred are
declared.
These attributes can be then used by tools to provide documentation to the
behaviour or find discrepancies in the callback definitions in the callback
module.

In the following program, erl_lint crashed with an erl_lint internal error.
With this patch it does not, but prints "bad export_type declaration" errors
instead.
-module(baz).
-export([test/0]).
-export_type(t/0).
-export_type([3.14]).
-type t() :: any().
test() -> 42.

* pan/otp_8683_compiler_warnings:
Remove (harmless) warning regarding auto-imported BIF max/2
Update primary bootstrap
Correct warnings and errors for auto-imported bif clashes
Conflicts:
bootstrap/lib/stdlib/ebin/erl_lint.beam
|
|
warn_unused_import works correctly (does not give warnings when overridden).
Local call in guard gives its own error pointing out the local/imported
function.
Use of the phrase "overridden auto-imported bif" instead of "redefined
auto-imported bif" in textual error messages.
|
|
Change erl_lint not to recognize this type as builtin and
add a new erl_lint.beam version in bootstrap.
Add an -opaque type declaration for this type in ets.erl
and also declare this as an exported type. Use this type
in file debugger/src/dbg_iload.erl in a spec.
While at it, also clean up this later file a bit.

erl_lint has been updated so that it takes the new -export_type()
attribute into account.
This means:
- do not complain about types which are defined but nowhere used in the
module but exported to other modules
- check that all types which are exported are indeed defined in the module
- warn when there are multiple occurrences of exported types.
In doing this change, I've also taken the liberty to introduce many types and
specs for functions of this module and to do small cleanups here and there.

Wrote and changed some tests in stdlib:erl_lint_SUITE
nowarn_bif_clash is obsoleted but will remove warnings and errors about bif
clashes. The recommended way is to use no_auto_import directives instead.
Hopefully erlang.erl is the only user in the world of nowarn_bif_clash.

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.

|
Import directives still not sorted out!
|
|
Expressions evaluating to integers can now be used in types and function
specifications where hitherto only integers were allowed
("Erlang_Integer").
|
|
'cond' is an experimental feature that was never completed.
