2010-06-17Fix beam_lib:cmp/2 return type specificationPaul Guyot
Specify that beam_lib:cmp/2 can return {error, beam_lib, different_chunks} if a chunk is only present in one of the beams.

* pan/otp_8683_compiler_warnings: Remove (harmless) warning regarding auto-imported BIF max/2 Update primary bootstrap Correct warnings and errors for auto-imported bif clashes Conflicts: bootstrap/lib/stdlib/ebin/erl_lint.beam
2010-06-09Correct warnings and errors for auto-imported bif clashesPatrik Nyblom
warn_unused_import works correctly (does not give warnings when overridden). Local call in guard gives its own error pointing out the local/imported function. Use of the phrase "overridden auto-imported bif" instead of "redefined auto-imported bif" in textual error messages.
2010-06-07Remove tid() from the predefined builtin types.Kostis Sagonas
Change erl_lint not to recognize this type as builtin and add a new erl_lint.beam version in bootstrap. Add an -opaque type declaration for this type in ets.erl and also declare this as an exported type. Use this type in file debugger/src/dbg_iload.erl in a spec. While at it, also clean up this later file a bit.
2010-06-07Fix confusing dialyzer warnings for is_record/2 with illegal recordsBjörn Gustavsson
In commit 1858cb81391d2bce29b4b7620574ca60128cebf7, erl_expand_records started to optimize is_record/2 in guards by replacing it with pattern matching (if possible). Unfortunately, dialyzer will no longer see the code before the optimization, so any warnings produced in code such as: case ExprNotProducingRecord#rec{} of X when is_record(X, rec, N) -> ... will refer to the optimized code and not the source code, which is confusing for the user. Introduce the no_is_record_optimization option for turning off the optimization and use it in dialyzer. Reported-by: Kostis Sagonas

2010-06-03Add infrastructure for the -export_type() attributeKostis Sagonas
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.
2010-06-03OTP-8665 epp bugHans Bolinder

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.
2010-06-02Teach erl_lint to better override BIFs with local functions and importsPatrik Nyblom
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.

2010-06-02erl_expand_records: Replace is_record() with matchingBjörn Gustavsson
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.)

2010-05-27handle {global, term()} names in format_status/2Steve Vinoski
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.
2010-05-24Change binary_to_term/2 to be auto-importedJayson Vantuyl
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.

2010-05-12Add support for the format_status callback to gen_eventSteve Vinoski
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.
2010-05-12Extend format_status for gen_server/gen_fsm termination error loggingSteve Vinoski
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/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.
2010-05-10gen: Inline wait_resp_mon/2 to help the compiler optimizeBjörn Gustavsson
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.
2010-05-06Remove redundant includesBjörn Gustavsson
2010-05-06Make beam_lib:cmp/2 stricterBjörn Gustavsson
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.
