The state of the gen_server is limited in error events before exiting
(if the Kernel variable error_logger_format_depth is set).
An alternative is to let the error_logger limit all messages
(error_msg, format, warning_msg, info_msg), which would not limit
reports and also add a smallish overhead to event logging.
It is not decided if the alternative is to be implemented.

Prior to this patch, the stacktrace of an error or
exit in a callback would always be discarded in crash
reports. For example, an exit(crashed) in handle_call/3
would emit:
=CRASH REPORT==== 10-May-2017::14:15:50 ===
crasher:
initial call: gen_server_SUITE:init/1
pid: <0.201.0>
registered_name: []
exception exit: crashed
in function gen_server:terminate/8 (src/gen_server.erl, line 828)
Note that the stacktrace is pointing to the gen_server
internal terminate implementation that calls exit/1.
This patch uses erlang:raise/3 so the stacktrace is not
lost, allowing proc_lib to show the class, reason
and stacktrace coming from the user implementation
(in this case gen_server_SUITE):
=CRASH REPORT==== 10-May-2017::14:16:44 ===
crasher:
initial call: gen_server_SUITE:init/1
pid: <0.197.0>
registered_name: []
exception exit: crashed
in function gen_server_SUITE:handle_call/3 (gen_server_SUITE.erl, line 1529)
This change is completely backwards compatible as
using erlang:raise/3 will still emit the same exit
reason to any linked process and monitor as before.

gen_event process's.
There is realized gen_server, gen_fsm, gen_event automatic hibernation functionality.
Added unit tests for realized functionality.
Added documentation for auto_hibernate_timeout option.

When a gen_server crashes it is in many cases helpful to know in which
context its client made its call.

This is to prevent dialyzer warning "no local return".

If a callback function was terminated with exit/1, there would be no
stack trace in the ERROR REPORT produced by gen_server. This has been
corrected. The actual exit reason for the process is not changed.
|
|
This undocumented option makes an init:get_argument/1 call every time a gen_server
is started.

The format_status callback (if exists) should always be invoked when
logging errors.
|
|
The functions utilize proc_lib:stop, which in turn utilizes
sys:terminate.

Add two new system callbacks Module:system_get_state/1 and
Module:system_replace_state/2 to allow sys:get_state/1,2 and
sys:replace_state/2,3 to operate correctly even if a process is sys
suspended. Modify gen_server, gen_fsm, and gen_event to support the new
callbacks.
If a callback module does not export these functions, then by default the
Misc value (the same as that passed as the final argument to
sys:handle_system_msg/6, and returned as part of the return value of
sys:get_status/1,2) is treated as the callback module's state.
The previous behaviour of intercepting the system message and passing a
tuple of size 2 as the last argument to sys:handle_system_msg/6 is no
longer supported.
Add tests to verify the correctness of sys:get_state/1,2 and
sys:replace_state/2,3 when processes are sys suspended. Add two tests for
modules that implement special processes, one that exports
system_get_state/1 and system_replace_state/2 and one that doesn't.
Much of the credit for this patch goes to James Fish, who reported the
initial problem and implemented much of the fix.

At Erlang Factory 2013 there was discussion during one of the talks about
the sys:get_status functions and how useful they were for debugging. Geoff
Cant mentioned it would be very useful if the sys module also provided
functions to use while debugging to get just the state of a process and
also to be able to replace the state of a process, and many others in the
audience appeared to agree.
The sys:get_state/1,2 functions return the state of a gen_server, gen_fsm,
or gen_event process. The return value varies depending on the process
type: process state for a gen_server, state name and state data for a
gen_fsm, and handler module, handler id, and handler state for each handler
registered in a gen_event process.
The sys:replace_state/2,3 functions allow the state of a gen_server,
gen_fsm, or gen_event process to be replaced with a new state. These
functions take a function argument that updates or replaces the process
state; using a function to change the state eliminates the race condition
of first reading the state via sys:get_state/1 or sys:get_state/2, using
its return value to create a new state, and then replacing the old state
with the new state, since during that time the process might have received
other calls or messages that could have changed its state.
* For a gen_server process, the state replacement function takes the
process state as an argument and returns a new state.
* For a gen_fsm process, the state replacement function gets a tuple of
{StateName, StateData} and returns a similar tuple that specifies a new
state name, new state data, or both.
* For a gen_event process, the state replacement function is called for
each registered event handler. It gets a tuple {Module, Id, HandlerState}
and returns a similar tuple that specifies the same Module and Id values
but may specify a different value for HandlerState.
If the state replacement function crashes or results in an error, the
original state of a gen_server or gen_fsm process is maintained; if such a
crash occurs for a gen_event process, the original state of the event
handler for which the state replacement function was called is maintained,
but the states of other event handlers of the same gen_event process may
still be updated if no errors or crashes occur while replacing their
states.
Add documentation for sys:get_state/1,2 and sys:replace_state/2,3. The
documentation explicitly notes that the functions are intended for use
during debugging.
Add new tests for these functions to gen_server_SUITE, gen_fsm_SUITE, and
gen_event_SUITE.

Dialyzer complained over a mismatch between the callback spec of
Mod:code_change in gen_server and the spec of supervisor:code_change
(which is the implementation of a gen_server Mod:code_change).
This commit changes the callback spec to allow {error,Reason} as
return value. Also, release_handler is updated to handle this return
value.

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.

Calls to global:whereis_name/1 have been substituted for calls to
global:safe_whereis_name/1 since the latter is not safe at all.
The reason for not doing this earlier is that setting a global lock
masked out a bug concerning the restart of supervised children. The
bug has now been fixed by a modification of global:whereis_name/1.
(Thanks to Ulf Wiger for code contribution.)

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.

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.
|

The gen_fsm, gen_server, and wx_object format_status implementations
fail to handle global names of the form {global, term()} where term()
is something other than an atom, pid, or list. Change these
format_status implementations to treat names that are atoms, pids, or
lists as before, but for all other terms, set the header property of
the function return value to a tuple whose first element is a string
describing the return value and whose second element is the name term.
Add unit tests for gen_server and gen_fsm to verify sys:get_status
calls work successfully for globally registered instances.

When a gen_server or gen_fsm process terminates abnormally, sometimes
the text representation of the process state can occupy many lines of
the error log, depending on the definition of the state
term. Developers sometimes would like a way to trim out parts of the
state from the log if those parts don't contribute to documenting the
circumstances of the error, thereby helping to reduce the amount of
logged output.
Since the format_status callback can already format and specialize
gen_server and gen_fsm state for inclusion in the term returned from
sys:get_status, this patch extends format_status in a
backward-compatible way to also be able to specialize the state logged
for abnormal gen_server and gen_fsm termination, and includes new unit
tests to verify the new functionality.
This patch also eliminates the previous restriction that the status
returned by format_status must be a list. It can now be any term.
The documentation is extended to cover the new usage for
format_status, and it's been improved to recommend a form for the
normal case that allows the returned status to fit well with the rest
of the term returned by sys:get_status. The documentation is clear
that this form is only recommended, not required.
