2010-05-21Merge branch 'sv/format_status_error_info' into devErlang/OTP
* sv/format_status_error_info: Add support for the format_status callback to gen_event Extend format_status for gen_server/gen_fsm termination error logging OTP-8630 sv/format_status_error_info When a gen_server, gen_fsm process, or gen_event 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. A mechanism to trim out parts of the state from the log has been added (using a format_status/2 callback). See the documentation.

2010-05-12OTP-8629 stdlib: prepare erl_parse.yrl for future extensionHans Bolinder
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.
2010-05-12Extend format_status for gen_server/gen_fsm termination error loggingSteve Vinoski
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.

That optimization will benefit calls to gen_server:call(). (See gen:do_call/4 for an example of a receive statement that will be optimized.)
2010-05-11Merge branch 'bg/beam_lib' into devErlang/OTP
* bg/beam_lib: Remove redundant includes Make beam_lib:cmp/2 stricter OTP-8625 bg/beam_lib The beam_lib:cmp/2 function now compares BEAM files in stricter way. The BEAM files will be considered different if there are any changes except in the compilation information ("CInf") chunk. beam_lib:cmp/2 used to ignore differences in the debug information (significant for Dialyzer) and other chunks that did not directly change the run-time behavior.
2010-05-10gen: Inline wait_resp_mon/2 to help the compiler optimizeBjörn Gustavsson
We are about to introduce a new optimization that requires the creation of a monitor and the following receive statement to be in the same function.
2010-05-06Remove redundant includesBjörn Gustavsson
2010-05-06Make beam_lib:cmp/2 stricterBjörn Gustavsson
The beam_lib:cmp/2 function only compares the executable parts of the BEAM files, not attributes or abstract code. Since the types and specs (used by Dialyzer) are contained in the abstract code, beam_lib:cmp/2 will return 'ok' if the only difference between two BEAM file are in the types or specs. If an Erlang/OTP system is installed in a revision control system, and beam_lib:cmp/2 is used to avoid committing unchanged but newly compiled BEAM files, BEAM files with no other changes than in types or specs may not get updated, which can problems if Dialyzer or the debugger is run. To avoid that problem, change beam_lib:cmp/2 to compare all chunks *except* for the "CInf" chunk. The "CInf" chunk contains the compilation time, compiler options, and compiler version.

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.

2010-04-08Postpone removal of concat_binary/1Björn Gustavsson
concat_binary/1 has long been documented as not recommended, but was formally deprecated as late as in R13B04. Since that gives very little time to notice and act on the deprecation, postpone the removal to R15.

2010-03-16Remove the undocumented function escript:foldl/3Håkan Mattsson
It is possible to obtain the same effect with the functions escript:extract/2 and zip:fold/3. See escript_SUITE:escript_foldl/3 for a complete emulation of the old escript:foldl/3 function.
2010-03-16Add functions to create and extract escriptsHåkan Mattsson
Both reltool and rebar needs to parse escripts. They are currently using an undocumented function called escript:foldl/3. It folds a function over all files in the body of an escript. If the body contains source code the function compiles it and the gives debug compiled beam code to the fold fun. If the body is an archive the fun is applied for all files in the archive. Instead of making the undocumented function public, the new functions escript:create/2 and escript:extract/2 has been introduced. Together with the new zip:foldl/3 function they have the same functionality as escript:foldl/3 in a more flexible and generic way. escript:foldl/3 should be removed as soon as reltool and rebar has been adopted to use the new functions. The simplest way for reltool and rebar to do this is to just copy the code from escript_SUITE:escript_foldl/3, which happens to provide a future compatible implementation of an emulated escript:foldl/3 function. I was quite hesitant when I introduced the compile_source option. It feels that it does not belong there but the alternative felt worse. The rationale for the compile_source option is that it is a bit cumbersome to compile the source code, as the source in most cases is partial. In order to do compile the source you need to know about some internals in escript. Without compile_source I think that these internals should be documented. Further you need to duplicate parts of the code. Without the compile_source option you need to first parse the source to forms, using an undocumented function in epp with an extended format of predefined macros which also is undocumented. Then you need to investigate the forms to see if you need to add an export form for main. When that is done you can run the rest of the compiler passes as usual. It is not so much code (60 lines or so) to write, but I do not want to urge people to write it. I actually wrote the code (see escript_SUITE:escript_foldl/3) before I decided to introduce the compile_source option.
2010-03-16Add function zip:foldl/3 to iterate over zip archivesHåkan Mattsson
This is the public interface of prim_zip:open/3, which has been used in earlier releases by both erl_prim_loader and escript. The new function can be used as a replacement for the undocumented function escript:foldl/3 that is likely to be removed without further notice. The error handling of prim_zip:open/3 (and prim_zip:foldl/3) has been improved in order to better suite a public interface. For example it could happen that a file or a zlib port could be left open in some errors cases. The documentation of the FileSpec parameter to zip:create/3 has been updated to show that file info can be explicitly specified. A FileSpec may contain {Filename, binary(), #file_info{}} elements. The function zip:create/3 was already prepared to partly support this, but now after a few minor fixes it is fully supported.

2010-03-10Fix a crash when using an undefined record name as a typeKostis Sagonas
2010-03-09OTP-8503 stdlib: records with no fields is considered typed by eppHans Bolinder
The empty record (no fields) is now considered typed. It is more consistent than before; the base case is the logical one. A record is typed iff all its fields are typed. A record is tagged 'typed' iff it is typed.
2010-03-09OTP-8501 stdlib: erl_pp no longer quotes atoms in typesHans Bolinder
The erlang pretty printer (erl_pp) no longer quotes atoms in types.
2010-03-09Readline-style line edit historyDave Peticolas
Change the shell's line buffer mechanism to more closely match readline-based shells. New behavior: 1. Blank lines are not added to the line buffer. 2. Pressing the down arrow on the last line causes no change. The previous behavior erased the line. 3. The new line is temporarily added to the line buffer so the user can move to previous lines with up arrows and then back to the new line with down arrows. The previous behavior discarded the partially written new line. 4. Changes made to previous lines while exploring the line buffer history are preserved. The previous behavior discarded changes made to older lines.
2010-03-09Merge branch 'ks/types' into devErlang/OTP
* ks/types: file.hrl: Move out type declarations kernel: Add types and specs OTP-8494 ks/types
2010-03-07file.hrl: Move out type declarationsKostis Sagonas
Having various type declarations in the file.hrl file was once upon a time necessary since the system could not really handle remote types. Now it can and these declarations should not be there but appear in file.erl instead. This means that files that need to use these types can refer to them using a remote type reference, and not having to include file.hrl - at least not for this reason.
