2011-11-30Fix dialyzer warning about gen_event callback init/1 in log_mf_hSiri Hansen
The warning is about log_mf_h having a different spec for gen_event callback init/1 than defined in gen_event.erl. log_mf_h allows return value {error,Reason}, while gen_even only specifies successful return values. This commit add {error,Reason} as a valid return value to the gen_event callback, since this is handled by the code.
2011-11-24Add plugin support for alternative name lookupUlf Wiger
OTP behaviour instances (gen_server, gen_fsm, gen_event) can currently register themselves either locally or globally, and the behaviour libraries (including gen.erl) support both addressing methods, as well as the normal Pid and {Name, Node}. However, there are alternative registry implementations - e.g. gproc - and one can well imagine other ways of locating a behaviour instance, e.g. on a node connected only via a TCP tunnel, rather than via Distributed Erlang. In all these cases, one needs to write extra code to identify the behaviour instance, even though the instance itself need not be aware of how it is located. This patch introduces a new way of locating a behaviour instance: {via, Module, Name}. Module is expected to export a subset of the functions in global.erl, namely: register_name(Name, Pid) -> yes | no whereis_name(Name) -> pid() | undefined unregister_name(Name) -> ok send(Name, Msg) -> Pid Semantics are expected to be the same as for global.erl This can be used in all places where {global, Name} is accepted. faulty export in gen_fsm_SUITE.erl await process death in dummy_via:reset() fix error in gen_[server|fsm]:enter_loop() fix documentation
2011-10-07Add '-callback' attributes in stdlib's behavioursStavros Aronis
Replace the behaviour_info(callbacks) export in stdlib's behaviours with -callback' attributes for all the callbacks.
2011-08-16emulator: Add a fourth element in exception stacktracesBjörn Gustavsson
This commit is a preparation for introducing location information (filename/line number) in stacktraces in exceptions. Currently a stack trace looks like: [{Mod1,Function1,Arity1}, . . . {ModN,FunctionN,ArityN}] Add a forth element to each tuple that can be used indication the filename and line number of the source file: [{Mod1,Function1,Arity1,Location1}, . . . {ModN,FunctionN,ArityN,LocationN}] In this commit, the fourth element will just be an empty list, and we will change all code that look at or manipulate stacktraces.

2010-07-07Fix format_status bug for unregistered gen_event processesGeoff Cant
Port the gen_fsm code for format_status to gen_event in order to prevent a lists:concat([...,pid()]) crash when calling sys:get_status/1 on an unregistered gen_event process. Refactor format_status header code from gen_* behaviours to module gen. Extend the format_status tests in gen_event_SUITE to cover format_status bugs with anonymous gen_event processes.
2010-05-12Add support for the format_status callback to gen_eventSteve Vinoski
The gen_server and gen_fsm behaviors support the format_status callback to allow developers to specialize how callback module state appears within the return value of sys:get_status and within logged output resulting from abnormal process termination. This patch adds similar support to gen_event. Event handlers that export a format_status/2 function, which is an optional callback, and are registered with an event manager will now have their format_status callbacks invoked when sys:get_status is called on the event manager. The term returned from format_status for this case replaces the default handler state in the sys:get_status return value. This patch also extends gen_event to call an event handler's format_status function (if it exports one) should the handler terminate abnormally. The term returned from format_status is logged in place of the handler's state. This is intended to allow developers to control how much output is logged in the case of abnormal termination. The documentation is appropriately extended and new unit tests are added to cover the new gen_event format_status functionality.
