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.

Thanks to Tomáš Janoušek.

Also let the Erlang shell use the new function io:printable_range().

The code related to the introduction of unicode_string() and
unicode_char() has been removed. The types char() and string() have
been extended to include Unicode characters.
In fact char() was changed some time ago; this commit is about
cleaning up the documentation and introduce better names for some
functions.

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

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.

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 pretty printer (erl_pp) no longer quotes atoms in types.
|
|
The abstract type 'fun' could not be printed. This bug has been fixed.
