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.

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.

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").

The Erlang scanner has been augmented with two new tokens: .. and ....

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.

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).

Unfortunately, commit 1e2ecf8c492b6d499880b8676e3c1fe0c5793103
removed all cond support except for two lines.
|
|
The Erlang parser no longer duplicates the singleton type undefined in the
type of record fields without initial value.
|
|
'cond' is an experimental feature that was never completed.
