2018-04-25stdlib: Introduce characters limit of formatted stringsHans Bolinder
The name of the io_lib_pretty:print/2 option 'max_chars' is changed to 'line_max_chars' (used by module shell only). The new option for limiting the number of returned characters of io_lib_pretty:print() is called 'chars_limit'.

2018-04-24Introduce map_get guard-safe functionMichał Muskała
Rationale Today all compound data types except for maps can be deconstructed in guards. For tuples we have `element/2` and for lists `hd/1` and `tl/1`. Maps are completely opaque to guards. This means matching on maps can't be abstracted into macros, which is often done with repetitive guards. It also means that maps have to be always selected whole from ETS tables, even when only one field would be enough, which creates a potential efficiency issue. This PR introduces an `erlang:map_get/2` guard-safe function that allows extracting a map field in guard. An alternative to this function would be to introduce the syntax for extracting a value from a map that was planned in the original EEP: `Map#{Key}`. Even outside of guards, since this function is a guard-BIF it is more efficient than using `maps:get/2` (since it does not need to set up the stack), and more convenient from pattern matching on the map (compare: `#{key := Value} = Map, Value` to `map_get(key, Map)`). Performance considerations A common concern against adding this function is the notion that "guards have to be fast" and ideally execute in constant time. While there are some counterexamples (`length/1`), what is more important is the fact that adding those functions does not change in any way the time complexity of pattern matching - it's already possible to match on map fields today directly in patterns - adding this ability to guards will niether slow down or speed up the execution, it will only make certain programs more convenient to write. This first version is very naive and does not perform any optimizations.

2018-03-26Compile external fun expressions to literalsMichał Muskała
The expressions fun M:F/A, when all elements are literals are also treated as a literal. Since they have consistent representation and don't depend on the code currently loaded in the VM, this is safe. This can provide significant performance improvements in code using such functions extensively - a full function call to erlang:make_fun/3 is replaced by a single move instruction and no register shuffling or saving registers to stack is necessary. Additionally, compound data types that contain such external functions as elements can be treated as literals too. The commit also changes the representation of external funs to be a valid Erlang syntax and adds support for literal external funs to core Erlang.

* raimo/type-posix-0-overhaul/ERL_550/OTP-14019: Update types for posix error codes
2018-03-26Update types for posix error codesRaimo Niskanen
I have read the man pages for most socket and file operations on recent Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD and Solaris 10 and noted the possible error codes. Which error codes that are possible for file operations have been updated in file:posix/0. Error codes for socket operations in inet:posix/0. The latter refers to the former so it is a superset, assuming that e.g sendfile and AF_UNIX socket operations could cause socket operations to return any file error code. That is not entirely true, but could be, especially in the future. Added to file:posix/0 are: ebadmsg edeadlk edeadlock eftype emultihop enobufs enolck enolink enosr enostr enosys eopnotsupp eoverflow erange etxtbsy Added to inet:posix/0 are all but: exbadport exbadseq file:posix() These are still possible according to erl_posix_str.c, but are not in file:posix/0 nor in inet:posix/0, and many of them are not file nor inet related, but some might be: e2big eadv ealign ebade ebadfd ebadr ebadrpc ebadrqc ebadslt ebfont echild echrng ecomm edirty edom edotdot eduppkg eidrm einit eisnam elbin el2hlt el2nsync el3hlt el3rst elibacc elibbad elibexec elibmax elibscn elnrng enavail enet enoano enocsi enodata enoexec enonet enosym enotempty enotnam enotuniq eproclim eprocunavail eprogmismatch eprogunavail erefused eremchg eremdev eremote eremoteio eremoterelease erpcmismatch erremote eshutdown esrmnt esuccesss etime etoomanyrefs euclean eunatch eusers eversion exfull sysnotready vernotsupported ediscon enomore ecancelled einvalidproctable einvalidprovider eproviderfailedinit syscallfailure service_not_found type_not_found e_no_more e_cancelled unknown

2018-03-10make erlang:process_info/1 not retrieve messagesMikael Pettersson
process_info/1 retrieves a number of properties related to a process, including the list of messages in its mailbox. This is potentially unsafe if the target process has a large number of queued messages: - there is no a priori upper bound on the amount of memory being allocated to hold that list, and - the loop to retrieve the messages is uninterruptible, so the Erlang scheduler where this executes blocks for the duration We've seen process_info/1 bring down heavily loaded nodes on more than one occasion. At least once it appeared to have blocked the Erlang heart process from executing, causing the external heart to kill the VM. Consequently this removes 'messages' from the list of process_info tags to retrieve for process_info/1. Note that process_info/1 still retrieves 'message_queue_len', and process_info/2 can still retrieve 'messages' when asked to. A few places in the OTP libraries need minor adjustments, since they want 'message_queue_len' but compute it from the length of the list of messages.

2018-02-26Replace binary:bin_to_list CIF implementation with binary_to_listJohn Högberg
binary:bin_to_list had a poor implementation that resulted in excessive garbage collection. binary_to_list is almost identical and has a generally better implementation, so I've replaced binary:bin_to_list's CIF with a thin wrapper around binary_to_list. Granted, binary_to_list has a deprecated indexing scheme, but we're unlikely to ever remote it entirely and it's somewhat easy to move it to the 'binary' module later on.
