While at it, added some types to a record
and did some cleanups suggested by tidier.
|
|
|
|
erl_lint has been updated so that it takes the new -export_type()
attribute into account.
This means:
- do not complain about types which are defined but nowhere used in the
module but exported to other modules
- check that all types which are exported are indeed defined in the module
- warn when there are multiple occurrences of exported types.
In doing this change, I've also taken the liberty to introduce many types and
specs for functions of this module and to do small cleanups here and there.

The Erlang code preprocessor (epp) did not correctly handle premature
end-of-input when defining macros. This bug, introduced in STDLIB 1.16, has
been fixed.

Wrote and changed some tests in stdlib:erl_lint_SUITE
nowarn_bif_clash is obsoleted but will remove warnings and errors about bif
clashes. The recommended way is to use no_auto_import directives instead.
Hopefully erlang.erl is the only user in the world of nowarn_bif_clash.

Added only a few testcases in compiler:error_SUITE and guard_SUITE
The new behaviour of warnings and errors when overriding autoimported BIF's:
Bifs that were autoimported before R14 are dangerous because old code
using them and overriding them in exports can start behaving
differently. For newly added autoimports this can't happen to the new
code that wants to (or dont want to) use them, why only warnings are
added for the BIFs autoimported after the compilator change. Errors
are issued only for code that could have worked in one way in R13 and
now will behave in a different way.
If overriding autoimport with local function:
- if explicit -compile directive supresses autoimport
-> no message
else
- if called from inside module
- if pre R14 autoimported bif
-> error
else
-> warning
else
-> no message
If overriding autoimport with import directive
- if explicit -compile directive supresses autoimport
-> no message
else (regardless of actual usage)
- if pre R14 autoimported bif
-> error
else
-> warning
Calls of local functions or imports overriding autoimported functions
(either post R14 or by using explicit -compile supressions of
autoimport) always goes to the local function or the imported.
The compileation errors are added to not let code like this silently
and disastrously change its semantic (probably to an infinite loop)
between R13 and R14:
----------
-module(m).
-export([length/1]).
length(X) ->
...
Y = length(Z),
....
----------
The user has to select if he/she wants to call length in 'erlang' explicitly
or if the overriding semantics is desired, in which case the -compile
directive has to be used.
-compile({no_auto_import,[F/A]}). Is added to allow to override the
autoimports so that code gets unanbiguous. The directive will remove
an autoimport even if there is no local function or import overriding,
because any other behaviour would be inconsistent and confusing.
record_info and module_info can never be overridden.

Import directives still not sorted out!

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 Erlang scanner has been augmented with two new tokens: .. and ....

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

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.
