* sv/stdlib/sys-get-state/OTP-11013: Removed ?line macro add sys:get_state/1,2 and sys:replace_state/2,3 update sys:get_status/2,3 documentation for gen_event
2013-04-02add sys:get_state/1,2 and sys:replace_state/2,3Steve Vinoski
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.
2013-03-29Document erl_parse:abstract/2Hans Bolinder
A bug has been fixed: when given the option {encoding,utf8} a list of floating point numbers (in the correct interval) was mistakenly returned as a string.

The scanner did not crash when a floating point number was encountered in the input string.
2013-03-19Let escript recognize an encoding comment on the second lineHans Bolinder
The manual says that an Emacs directive can be placed on the second line. With this patch that directive is also recognized when selecting encoding of the script.
2013-03-18Adjust dets.erl to cope with an evil test caseHans Bolinder
The test case deletes a Dets process while it is repairing a file. Another client waiting for the Dets process to reply then kicks in and repairs the file. Apparently the temporary file was still open, resulting in an eacces error on Windows.

pan/unicode_printable_ranges * hb/stdlib/unicode_corrections/OTP-10820: Fix some Unicode issues Conflicts: lib/stdlib/test/shell_SUITE.erl
2013-02-18Make printing of UTF-8 in binaries behave like lists.Patrik Nyblom
This means that only UTF-8 characters in binaries that conform to the printable_range are printed as <<"..."/utf8>> in io_lib_pretty.
2013-02-18Add usage of and spec for io:printable_range/0Patrik Nyblom
This makes both io:format("~tp", ...) and the shell honor the +pc setting and also reverts the shell to the old behaviour of only interpreting latin1 strings as "strings" by default. +pc unicode turns on the R16A behaviour. Doing io:format("~tp~n", [[1024,1025]]). will show you the difference when starting with +pc unicode.
2013-02-18Fix some Unicode issuesHans Bolinder
Also let the Erlang shell use the new function io:printable_range().

2013-02-13Extend ~ts to handle binaries with characters coded in ISO-latin-1Hans Bolinder
Make sure io_lib:fwrite() with a format string including "~ts" does not crash when given binaries that cannot be interpreted as UTF-8-encoded strings. We want to avoid crashes caused by excessive use of the 't' modifier.
2013-02-13Remove special case handling "-" at the beginning of a charsetBjörn Gustavsson
We don't need this special case, since "-" is only special between two other characters.
2013-02-13Optimize character sets using gb_setsBjörn Gustavsson
2013-02-13Clean up and simplify the inner matching loopBjörn Gustavsson
Use list comprehensions and 'orelse' to make the code more concise. Rename wildcard_5/2 to match_part/2 to make it clearer what it does. If the pattern always matches, don't test it in every iteration of the loop.
2013-02-13Only sort the result list once, just before returningBjörn Gustavsson
There does not seem to be any advantage of sorting the result of file:list_dir/1 directly. Disadvantages are that we'll need to be careful to keep the result sorted, and that we could waste time sorting filenames that the pattern matching will discard anyway.
2013-02-13Replace filename:join/2 with '++'Björn Gustavsson
Under controlled circumstances (and we are in control of the circumstances), filename:join/2 can be replaced with '++'. '++' is faster because it is implmented in C, does not need to look at the list elements it copies, and does not need to copy its right operand.
2013-02-13Rethink the filelib:wildcard() functionsBjörn Gustavsson
Commit 70b5e24c9498225fadc08d19503269c8aad851bf broke filelib:wildcard(Pattern, "."). Over the years, the logic for filelib:wilcard() has become a mess of special cases. Probably because of premature optimization, filelib:wildcard(Pattern) and filelib:wildcard(Pattern, Cwd) are handled differently. They can be consolidated if we use a "." as the default Cwd argument. We can also simplify things by compiling the Cwd argument into the wildcard. We did not that in the initial implementation because it used to be possible to pre-compile a wildcard and pass it to filelib:wildcard/{1,2}. Since that is no longer possible, there is no point in keeping the compiled wildcard "portable" (not dependent on the Cwd argument).
2013-02-13Don't redefine error/1Björn Gustavsson
It is confusing. Rename our own exception-generating function to badpattern/1.
2013-02-13Don't allow binaries as the Cwd argument for filelib:wildcard()Björn Gustavsson
filelib:wildcard() will no longer support "raw filenames", so it makes no sense for it to accept a binary Cwd argument.
2013-02-13Don't handle binaries from file:list_dir/1Björn Gustavsson
In R16B, file:list_dir/1 will never return binaries.
2013-02-13Make the file:filename() type more restrictiveBjörn Gustavsson
The recommended type for filenames is a list of characters (which may be Unicode characters greater than 255). Change the file:filename() to reflect that. For the filename module we still need a type that can be either a string or a binary, so we need to introduce the type file:filename_all().
2013-02-12c: Remove handling of binaries in return from file:list_dir/1Björn Gustavsson
file:list_dir/1 will no longer return binaries.
