2013-04-04Fix rest_for_one and one_for_all restarting a child not terminatedJames Fish
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.

2012-03-05Leave control back to gen_server during supervisor's restart loopSiri Hansen
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'.
2011-11-24Add plugin support for alternative name lookupUlf Wiger
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. faulty export in gen_fsm_SUITE.erl await process death in dummy_via:reset() fix error in gen_[server|fsm]:enter_loop() fix documentation
2011-09-16Explicitly kill dynamic children in supervisorsChristopher Faulet
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.

2010-11-15Call chmod without the "-f" flagHolger Weiß
"-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 to, never created from scratch, which can cause problems especially when swithching branches in a git repository.
2010-01-07Shell tab completion now works for quoted module and function namesUlf Wiger
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.)
