Add math:floor/1 and math:ceil/1 to avoid unnecessary conversions
in floating point expressions. That is, instead of having to write
float(floor(X)) as part of a floating point expressions, we can
write simply math:floor(X).

Since no test suites includede test_server.hrl, there is no need
to have test_server in the include path or code path.

Several people have requested that the assert macros in EUnit should be
moved out to a separate header file. This patch puts them in
stdlib/include/assert.hrl, which gets included by the eunit.hrl file.
Thus, nothing changes for eunit users, but the asserts can now also be
included separately.

* dgud/stdlib/rand/OTP-12586:
stdlib: Document and add normal distributed random value function
stdlib: Add new random functionality/module
|
|
|
|
The old random module contains an old algorithm which have flaws
and the api requires the user to invoke seed and or checking if seed have
been invoked, if a non constant seed is to be used.
The api contains the following features:
- The user can invoke rand:unform/[0|1] directly and get a non constant seeding.
- The api is split in functional and non functional functions,
i.e. usage of _s functions will not affect the process dictionary.
- The api contains several algorithms with different characteristics and
can be extended with new algorithms in the future.
- Contains state of the art random number generators.
- Default algorithm is taylor made for erlang to be fast on 64bits machines.

Add two new system callbacks Module:system_get_state/1 and
Module:system_replace_state/2 to allow sys:get_state/1,2 and
sys:replace_state/2,3 to operate correctly even if a process is sys
suspended. Modify gen_server, gen_fsm, and gen_event to support the new
callbacks.
If a callback module does not export these functions, then by default the
Misc value (the same as that passed as the final argument to
sys:handle_system_msg/6, and returned as part of the return value of
sys:get_status/1,2) is treated as the callback module's state.
The previous behaviour of intercepting the system message and passing a
tuple of size 2 as the last argument to sys:handle_system_msg/6 is no
longer supported.
Add tests to verify the correctness of sys:get_state/1,2 and
sys:replace_state/2,3 when processes are sys suspended. Add two tests for
modules that implement special processes, one that exports
system_get_state/1 and system_replace_state/2 and one that doesn't.
Much of the credit for this patch goes to James Fish, who reported the
initial problem and implemented much of the fix.

In rest_for_one and one_for_all supervisors one child dying can cause
multiple children to be restarted. Previously if the child that caused
the restart is started successfully but another child fails to start,
the supervisor would not terminate this child with the other
successfully restarted children as no record of the pid was kept. Thus
the supervisor would try to start this child again. This could lead to
multiples of the same child or if the child is registered cause repeated
attempts at starting this child - until the max restart threshold was
reached.
Now the child that failed to start becomes the restarting child, instead
of staying with the same child, for the next restart attempt. This has
the following side effects:
1) In one_for_all the new version of the child that original died is
terminated before a restart attempt is made.
2) In rest_for_one all succesfully restarted children are not terminated
and restarting continues from the child that failed to start.

When an attempt to restart a child failed, supervisor would earlier
keep the execution flow and try to restart the child over and over
again until it either succeeded or the restart frequency limit was
reached. If none of these happened, supervisor would hang forever in
this loop.
This commit adds a timer of 0 ms where the control is left back to the
gen_server which implements the supervisor. This way any incoming
request to the supervisor will be handled - which could help breaking
the infinite loop - e.g. shutdown request for the supervisor or for
the problematic child.
This introduces some incompatibilities in stdlib due to new return
values from supervisor:
* restart_child/2 can now return {error,restarting}
* delete_child/2 can now return {error,restarting}
* which_children/1 returns a list of {Id,Child,Type,Mods},
where Child, in addition to the old pid() or 'undefined',
now also can be 'restarting'.

OTP behaviour instances (gen_server, gen_fsm, gen_event) can currently
register themselves either locally or globally, and the behaviour
libraries (including gen.erl) support both addressing methods, as well
as the normal Pid and {Name, Node}.
However, there are alternative registry implementations - e.g. gproc -
and one can well imagine other ways of locating a behaviour instance,
e.g. on a node connected only via a TCP tunnel, rather than via
Distributed Erlang. In all these cases, one needs to write extra code
to identify the behaviour instance, even though the instance itself
need not be aware of how it is located.
This patch introduces a new way of locating a behaviour instance:
{via, Module, Name}.
Module is expected to export a subset of the functions in global.erl,
namely:
register_name(Name, Pid) -> yes | no
whereis_name(Name) -> pid() | undefined
unregister_name(Name) -> ok
send(Name, Msg) -> Pid
Semantics are expected to be the same as for global.erl
This can be used in all places where {global, Name} is accepted.

According to the supervisor's documentation:
"Important note on simple-one-for-one supervisors: The dynamically
created child processes of a simple-one-for-one supervisor are not
explicitly killed, regardless of shutdown strategy, but are expected
to terminate when the supervisor does (that is, when an exit signal
from the parent process is received)."
All is fine as long as we stop simple_one_for_one supervisor manually.
Dynamic children catch the exit signal from the supervisor and leave.
But, if this happens when we stop an application, after the top
supervisor has stopped, the application master kills all remaining
processes associated to this application. So, dynamic children that trap
exit signals can be killed during their cleanup (here we mean inside
terminate/2). This is unpredictable and highly time-dependent.
In this commit, supervisor module is patched to explicitly terminate
dynamic children accordingly to the shutdown strategy.
NOTE: Order in which dynamic children are stopped is not defined. In
fact, this is "almost" done at the same time.

"-f" is a non-standard chmod option which at least SGI IRIX and HP UX do
not support. As the only effect of the "-f" flag is to suppress warning
messages, it can be safely omitted.

The Emakefiles in some test suite directories are only appended

While quoted atoms in module and function names are not common,
they are allowed, and sometimes quite useful. In OTP, they are
commonplace in ORBER, and can also be found in XMERL. Tab completion
needs to recognize quoted atoms and act accordingly. This patch
includes changes in edlin:over_word/1. It should be noted that these
changes also affect the 'kill word', 'forward word' and 'backward word'
commands in the line editor. The author thinks that the changes are
for the better. There are also minor changes in edlin_expand.erl -
mainly in regard to the conversion between atoms and strings.
Another change is that the list of matches is now sorted, partly
to simplify testing, but also because it seems sensible to present
the matches that way. A test suite, edlin_expand_SUITE, has been
added to the stdlib test suites.
(amended 2009-12-18 to actually include the modified files too
and again to rename the capitalized test modules for portability.)
