2014-08-04Allow Name/Arity syntax in maps inside attributesAndrey Tsirulev
Currently Name/Arity syntax is supported in list and tuple terms. This change makes it possible to use this syntax in map terms for consistency and convenience. Example: -custom(#{test1 => init/2, test2 => [val/1, val/2]}).

* fenollp/remove-erl_parse-legacy-map: Replace local mapl/2 (Erlang < 5.0) unique call by a LC
2014-04-29Modify representation of the map typeHans Bolinder
Types are represented by quadruples {type, LINE, Name, Args}, but maps were represented by five-tuples {type, LINE, map_field_assoc, Dom, Range}. Note: this is *not* about the quadruples used for representing expressions, {map_field_assoc,L,K,V}.
2014-04-29Disallow '_' as type variableHans Bolinder
"... when _ :: ..." used to compile, but Dialyzer crashed.
2014-04-29Allow more type namesHans Bolinder
product/_, union/_, range/2 as well as tuple/N (N > 0), map/N (N > 0), atom/1, integer/1, binary/2, record/_, and 'fun'/_ can now be used as type names.
2014-03-25stdlib: Generalize erl_parse:abstract/2Hans Bolinder
The 'encoding' option of erl_parse:abstract/2 has been extended to include 'none' and a callback function (a predicate). The rationale is that a more general means of determining what integer lists are to be represented as strings may help readability when generating Erlang code given input in some other encoding than Latin-1 or UTF-8.

In the current iteration of Maps we should deny *any* variables in Map keys.

2013-12-12EEP 37: Funs with namesAnthony Ramine
This adds optional names to fun expressions. A named fun expression is parsed as a tuple `{named_fun,Loc,Name,Clauses}` in erl_parse. If a fun expression has a name, it must be present and be the same in every of its clauses. The function name shadows the environment of the expression shadowing the environment and it is shadowed by the environment of the clauses' arguments. An unused function name triggers a warning unless it is prefixed by _, just as every variable. Variable _ is allowed as a function name. It is not an error to put a named function in a record field default value. When transforming to Core Erlang, the named fun Fun is changed into the following expression: letrec 'Fun'/Arity = fun (Args) -> let <Fun> = 'Fun'/Arity in Case in 'Fun'/Arity where Args is the list of arguments of 'Fun'/Arity and Case the Core Erlang expression corresponding to the clauses of Fun. This transformation allows us to entirely skip any k_var to k_local transformation in the fun's clauses bodies.
2013-03-29Document erl_parse:abstract/2Hans Bolinder
A bug has been fixed: when given the option {encoding,utf8} a list of floating point numbers (in the correct interval) was mistakenly returned as a string.
2013-01-25Export the type erl_scan:token()Hans Bolinder
The type erl_parse:token() used to be a two-tuple, but it can also be a three-tuple.

2013-01-02[stdlib, kernel] Introduce Unicode support for Erlang source filesHans Bolinder
Expect modifications, additions and corrections. There is a kludge in file_io_server and erl_scan:continuation_location() that's not so pleasing.
2011-11-07EEP-23: Allow variables in fun M:F/ABjörn Gustavsson
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.

2011-10-07Add '-callback' attribute to language syntaxStavros Aronis
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.
2011-05-12Types and specifications have been modified and addedHans Bolinder
2011-03-22Fix a bug concerning record field typesHans Bolinder
The default value 'undefined' was added to records field types in such a way that the result was not always a well-formed type. This bug has been fixed. --- erl_pp has since OTP-8150 formatted types so that 'undefined' was removed from union types assigned to record fields. Since one cannot distinguish between 'undefined' added by the parser or supplied by the user, a side effect was that user supplied 'undefined's were also removed. Now the pretty printer shows 'undefined' even if added by the parser. This is a minor issue.

Expressions evaluating to integers can now be used in types and function specifications where hitherto only integers were allowed ("Erlang_Integer").

2010-04-20Support nested record field access without parenthesesTuncer Ayaz
Original patch from YAMASHINA Hio posted to erlang-patches@ on Tue Jun 12 11:27:53 CEST 2007: http://www.erlang.org/pipermail/erlang-patches/2007-June/000182.html http://fleur.hio.jp/pub/erlang/record2.patch Only had to do minor changes to port the patch to the current R14A development tree. Also added compiler/record_SUITE:nested_access/2 to test nested record access with or without parentheses. With this change the following will work. -record(nrec0, {name = <<"nested0">>}). -record(nrec1, {name = <<"nested1">>, nrec0=#nrec0{}}). -record(nrec2, {name = <<"nested2">>, nrec1=#nrec1{}}). nested_access() -> N0 = #nrec0{}, N1 = #nrec1{}, N2 = #nrec2{}, <<"nested0">> = N0#nrec0.name, <<"nested1">> = N1#nrec1.name, <<"nested2">> = N2#nrec2.name, <<"nested0">> = N1#nrec1.nrec0#nrec0.name, <<"nested0">> = N2#nrec2.nrec1#nrec1.nrec0#nrec0.name, <<"nested1">> = N2#nrec2.nrec1#nrec1.name, <<"nested0">> = ((N2#nrec2.nrec1)#nrec1.nrec0)#nrec0.name, N1a = N2#nrec2.nrec1#nrec1{name = <<"nested1a">>}, <<"nested1a">> = N1a#nrec1.name, N2a = N2#nrec2.nrec1#nrec1.nrec0#nrec0{name = <<"nested0a">>}, N2b = ((N2#nrec2.nrec1)#nrec1.nrec0)#nrec0{name = <<"nested0a">>}, <<"nested0a">> = N2a#nrec0.name, N2a = N2b, ok.

2010-04-19OTP-8567 The word 'spec' is no longer reserved.Hans Bolinder
The function erl_scan:reserved_word/1 no longer returns true when given the word spec. This bug was introduced in STDLIB-1.15.3 (R12B-3).
