Expressions evaluating to integers can now be used in types and function
specifications where hitherto only integers were allowed
("Erlang_Integer").

* jv/autoimport-binary_to_term_2:
Change binary_to_term/2 to be auto-imported
OTP-8671 jv/autoimport-binary_to_term_2
Now, binary_to_term/2 is auto-imported. This will cause a compile warning
if and only if a module has got a local function with that name.

The compiler currently generates better code for:
f(#r1{}) -> r1;
f(#r2{}) -> r2;
f(#r3{}) -> r3.
than for:
g(X) when is_record(X, r1) -> r1;
g(X) when is_record(X, r2) -> r2;
g(X) when is_record(X, r3) -> r3.
The compiler generates good code for pattern matching (as in f/1),
but in g/1 there are no patterns to match, and the clause to be
executed must be chosen by evaluating the guards sequentially
until one succeeds.
Make the compiler generate better code by replacing calls to
is_record() with matching in the function head (basically,
g/1 will automatically be rewritten to do pattern matching
as in f/1).
Note that this rewrite will also benefit code such as:
h(X) when X#r1.a =:= 1 -> ok.
because it would have been rewritten to:
h(X) when (is_record(X, r1, 3) orelse fail) and (element(2, X) =:= 1) ->
ok.
which in turn will be rewritten to:
h({r1,_,_}=X) when (true orelse fail) and (element(2, X) =:= 1) ->
ok.
(That will be further simplified in later compiler passes.)

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.

While binary_to_term/2 was added in R13B04, it wasn't auto-imported. This
conformed to longstanding policy of not changing auto-imports between major
versions. This patch contains changes to auto-import binary_to_term/2 to
coincide with the release of R14.

* 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.

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.

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.

* bg/opt-receive:
Test that gen_server:call/2,3 are fast even with a huge message queue
erts: Add tests for the receive optimization
Update primary bootstrap
erts: Implement recv_mark/1 and recv_set/1 for real
compiler tests: Cover the error handling code in beam_receive
compiler test: Test optimization of receive statements
Optimize selective receives in the presence of a large message queue
Introduce the new recv_mark/1 and recv_mark/1 instructions
Compile tests that communicate with R12 nodes with the r12 option
Move p_run/2 to test_lib
gen: Inline wait_resp_mon/2 to help the compiler optimize
OTP-8623 bg/opt-receive
reveive statements that can only read out a newly created reference are now
specially optimized so that it will execute in constant time regardless of
the number of messages in the receive queue for the process. 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.)

* 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.
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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.

Deprecated functions designated to be removed in R14 has been removed.
Also, some new functions has been marked as deprecated (the old http client
api module).

* ta/nested-records:
Document R14 paren-less record access/update
Support nested record field access without parentheses
OTP-8597 ta/nested-records
Nested records can now be accessed without parenthesis. See the Reference
Manual for examples. (Thanks to YAMASHINA Hio and Tuncer 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.

When defining macros the closing right parenthesis before the dot is now
mandatory.
|
|
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.
|
|
Remove lists:flat_length/1 which has never been documented or
supported. It has been deprecated since R13A.
|
|
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.
|

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.
|

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.

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.
