2016-03-01Generalize bit string comprehensionsBjörn Gustavsson
The expression in a bit string comprehension is limited to a literal bit string expression. That is, the following code is legal: << <<X>> || X <- List >> but not this code: << foo(X) || X <- List >> The limitation is annoying. For one thing, tools that transform the abstract format must be careful not to produce code such as: << begin %% Some instrumentation code. <<X>> end || X <- List >> One reason for the limitation could be that we'll get reduce/reduce conflicts if we try to allow an arbitrary expression in a bit string comprehension: binary_comprehension -> '<<' expr '||' lc_exprs '>>' : {bc,?anno('$1'),'$2','$4'}. Unfortunately, there does not seem to be an easy way to work around that problem. The best we can do is to allow 'expr_max' expressions (as in the binary syntax): binary_comprehension -> '<<' expr_max '||' lc_exprs '>>' : {bc,?anno('$1'),'$2','$4'}. That will work, but functions calls must be enclosed in parentheses: << (foo(X)) || X <- List >>

The reason is that the module is not used, and that we se no obvious use case for it.
2016-02-19stdlib: Let beam_lib restore typed record formsHans Bolinder
Forms with record field types created before OTP 19.0 are replaced by well-formed record forms holding the type information. Tools reading the 'abstract_code' chunk can rely on the returned forms being well-formed, that is, there are no badly formed 'type' attribute forms.
2016-02-17Implement ?FUNCTION_NAME and ?FUNCTION_ARITY macrosBjörn Gustavsson
For a long time, users have asked for one or more macros that would return the name and arity of the current function. We could define a single ?FUNCTION macro that would return a {Name,Arity} tuple. However, to access just the name or just the arity for the function, element/2 must be used. That would limit its usefulness, because element/2 is not allowed in all contexts. Therefore, it seems that we will need two macros. ?FUNCTION_NAME that expands to the name of the current function and ?FUNCTION_ARITY that expands to arity of the current function. Converting the function name to a string can be done like this: f() -> atom_to_list(?FUNCTION_NAME) ++ "/" ++ integer_to_list(?FUNCTION_ARITY). f/0 will return "f/0". The BEAM compiler will evaluate the entire expression at compile-time, so there will not be any run-time penalty for the function calls. The implementation is non-trivial because the preprocessor is run before the parser. One way to implement the macros would be to replace them with some placeholder and then let the parser or possibly a later pass replace the placeholder with correct value. That could potentially slow down the compiler and cause incompatibilities for parse transforms. Another way is to let the preprocessor do the whole job. That means that the preprocessor will have to scan the function head to find out the name and arity. The scanning of the function head can be delayed until the first occurrence of a ?FUNCTION_NAME or ?FUNCTION_ARITY. I have chosen the second way because it seems less likely to cause weird compatibility problems.
2016-02-17epp: Refactor expand_macros()Björn Gustavsson
As a preparation for implementing a ?FUNCTION macro, pass the entire state record to expand_macros/2 and its helpers. That will allow us to have more information available when expanding ?FUNCTION.

2016-02-17stdlib: Modify the preprocessor as to expose typed record fieldsHans Bolinder
Problem: The types of record fields have since R12B been put in a separate form by epp:parse_file(), leaving the record declaration form untyped. The separate form, however, does not follow the syntax of type declarations, and parse transforms inspecting -type() attributes need to know about the special syntax. Since the compiler stores the return value of epp:parse_file() as debug information in the abstract code chunk ("Abst" or 'abstract_code'), tools too need to know about the special syntax, if they inspect -type() attributes in abstract code. Solution: As of this commit no separate form is created by epp:parse_file(), but the type information kept in the record fields. This means that all parse transforms and all tools inspecting -record() declarations need to recognize {typed_record_field, Field, Type}. We recommend that all parse transforms and tools be updated as to recognize typed record fields. Discussion: As of OTP 19.0, the abstract form of type declarations and function specifications is documented. An (unsatisfactory) alternative to the above solution is to document two formats of the abstract form of typed record fields: one if returned by epp:parse_file(); and one if returned by, for example, epp:parse_erl_form(). Yet another (bad) alternative is to not document the format returned by epp:erl_parse(), but instead document the idempotent function epp:restore_typed_record_fields/1, and urge authors of parse transform and tools to always call this function.

2016-02-09Improved maps:with/2 and maps:without/2 algorithmBen Wilson
The current implementation is roughly O(N*M) where N is the number of items to be removed, and M is the number of items in the map. This does not include the cost of `maps:from_list` or `maps:to_list`. This leads to pretty horrifying execution times on large maps regardless of how many or few keys are to be removed. The new implementation is O(N) where N is the number of items to be removed. For each N there's the cost of removing a key from a map, and but in practice that turns out to be a vast improvement for all map sizes I tested The new maps:take/2 implementation similarly builds a list of keys and values by iterating only the list of desired keys, and then hands it off to maps:from_list. This turned out to be faster than N maps:put calls.
2016-02-03Speed up supervisor:count_children/1; simple_one_for_oneRory Byrne
Speed up supervisor:count_children/1 for simple_one_for_one supervisors. This is achieved by avoiding looping through all the child process and verifying that each one is alive. For a supervisor with 100,000 'temporary' children the count-time will drop from approx 25ms to about 0.005ms. For a supervisor with 100,000 'permanent' or 'transient' children the count-time will drop from approx 30ms to about 0.005ms. This avoids having the supervisor block for an extended period while the count takes place. Under normal circumstances the accuracy of the result should also improve since the duration is too short for many processes to die during the count.
2016-02-03Add supervisor:get_callback_module/1Siri Hansen
This function is used by release_handler during upgrade. This was earlier implemented in the release_handler, but it required a copy og the definition of the supervisor's internal state, which caused problems when this state was updated.

2016-01-29Eliminate redundant double is_function testBjörn Gustavsson
When tuple funs were still supported, the idiom for allowing real funs with a certain arity but not tuple funs was: is_function(Fun) andalso is_function(Fun, Arity) The reason that both tests were needed is because: is_function({M,F}) would return 'false' is_function({M,F}, Arity) would return 'true' In 53ec991d19, is_function/2 was updated to only return 'false' for tuples, so the call to is_function/1 can be removed.

2016-01-26Fix a race bug affecting dets_SUITE:open_file/2Hans Bolinder
The Dets server pretends the file is open before internal_open() has been called, which means that unless the internal_open message is applied first, other processes can find the pid by calling dets_server:get_pid() and do things before Head has been initialized properly.
2016-01-20Introduce time warp safe replacement for safe_fixed optionRickard Green
The new time warp safe option is safe_fixed_monotonic_time which gives erlang:monotonic_time(). The safe_fixed option was also slightly changed. It now gives erlang:timestamp() instead of erlang:now(). This has however not been documented, so it is considered a compatible change. The above effects both ets, and dets. This commit also include the bugfix OTP-13239 for dets:info(Tab, safe_fixed). The timestamp in the result returned by dets:info(Tab, safe_fixed) was unintentionally broken as a result of the time API rewrites in OTP 18.0.

2016-01-01Do not consider "." part of names in edlinJosé Valim
Today, if you press Ctrl+W inside erl, it will erase word chars including dots. This may have made sense in the past when Erlang had packages, but today considering the most common case for dots inside erl is to work with records, considering the dot part of the word is rather a mistake. For example, imagine the following code, where [] is the cursor: 1> S#elixir_scope.name[] When I press Ctrl+W it erases all up to #: 1> S#[] This patch changes it to the dot is no longer considered part of the name: 1> S#elixir_scope.[] Which is rather expected behaviour for most use cases of dot in Erlang.
