2016-03-30gen_fsm_SUITE: Make abnormal1/1 stop failingBjörn Gustavsson
abnormal1/1 started failing sporadically when 22785cd1e21 changed using the messages_get/0 and using its own implementation: get_messages() -> receive Msg -> [Msg|get_messages()] after 1 -> [] end. In test_server:messages_get/0, there was "after 0" instead of "after 1" as in this version. We could change back to using "after 0", but it seems that the test case just happened to work before the change. Instead, read out the message that is guranteed to be in the message queue, and *then* check that the message queue is empty.
2016-03-30gen_fsm_SUITE: Use timer:sleep/1 instead of ct:sleep/1Björn Gustavsson
In 8d7d5627, test_server:sleep/1 was changed to ct:sleep/1. Change it to timer:sleep/1 to make the timing more exact (ct:sleep/1 will call another process).

While we are it, also re-ident the files.
2016-03-09Replace "%" with "%%" at the beginning of a lineBjörn Gustavsson
We want to re-ident the source files after having taken out all ?line macros. When re-indenting using Emacs, it's important that comments that should be at the beginning of a line (or follow the indentation of statements around it) must start with "%%".
2016-03-09Eliminate 'suite' and 'doc' clausesBjörn Gustavsson
2016-03-09Eliminate use of test_server:messages_get/0Björn Gustavsson
2016-03-09Replace calls to test_server:sleep/1 with ct:sleep/1 or timer:sleep/1Björn Gustavsson
Note that the sleeping time in ct:sleep/1 will be scaled if the test is run with (for example) cover. When it is important that the sleep time is not adjusted, use timer:sleep/1.
2016-03-09Eliminate use of test_server:do_times()Björn Gustavsson
2016-03-09Eliminate use of test_server:fail/0,1Björn Gustavsson
2016-02-17Eliminate use of test_server.hrl and test_server_line.hrlBjörn Gustavsson
As a first step to removing the test_server application as as its own separate application, change the inclusion of test_server.hrl to an inclusion of ct.hrl and remove the inclusion of test_server_line.hrl.

2015-04-10Optimize gen_fsm_SUITE:hibernate/1Björn Gustavsson
The running time for gen_fsm_SUITE:hibernate/1 is almost 30 seconds because of 1000 ms sleeps in the test case. Introduce helper functions to avoid sleeping more than necessary. While we are it, also remove all ?line macros in the test case.

The format_status callback (if exists) should always be invoked when logging errors.
2014-05-26Add synchronous stop functions to gen_server and gen_fsmSiri Hansen
The functions utilize proc_lib:stop, which in turn utilizes sys:terminate.
2014-03-21fix sys:get_state/1,2 and sys:replace_state/2,3 when sys suspendedSteve Vinoski
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.

2013-04-02add sys:get_state/1,2 and sys:replace_state/2,3Steve Vinoski
At Erlang Factory 2013 there was discussion during one of the talks about the sys:get_status functions and how useful they were for debugging. Geoff Cant mentioned it would be very useful if the sys module also provided functions to use while debugging to get just the state of a process and also to be able to replace the state of a process, and many others in the audience appeared to agree. The sys:get_state/1,2 functions return the state of a gen_server, gen_fsm, or gen_event process. The return value varies depending on the process type: process state for a gen_server, state name and state data for a gen_fsm, and handler module, handler id, and handler state for each handler registered in a gen_event process. The sys:replace_state/2,3 functions allow the state of a gen_server, gen_fsm, or gen_event process to be replaced with a new state. These functions take a function argument that updates or replaces the process state; using a function to change the state eliminates the race condition of first reading the state via sys:get_state/1 or sys:get_state/2, using its return value to create a new state, and then replacing the old state with the new state, since during that time the process might have received other calls or messages that could have changed its state. * For a gen_server process, the state replacement function takes the process state as an argument and returns a new state. * For a gen_fsm process, the state replacement function gets a tuple of {StateName, StateData} and returns a similar tuple that specifies a new state name, new state data, or both. * For a gen_event process, the state replacement function is called for each registered event handler. It gets a tuple {Module, Id, HandlerState} and returns a similar tuple that specifies the same Module and Id values but may specify a different value for HandlerState. If the state replacement function crashes or results in an error, the original state of a gen_server or gen_fsm process is maintained; if such a crash occurs for a gen_event process, the original state of the event handler for which the state replacement function was called is maintained, but the states of other event handlers of the same gen_event process may still be updated if no errors or crashes occur while replacing their states. Add documentation for sys:get_state/1,2 and sys:replace_state/2,3. The documentation explicitly notes that the functions are intended for use during debugging. Add new tests for these functions to gen_server_SUITE, gen_fsm_SUITE, and gen_event_SUITE.

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

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.
2010-05-21Merge branch 'sv/format_status_error_info' into devErlang/OTP
* sv/format_status_error_info: Add support for the format_status callback to gen_event Extend format_status for gen_server/gen_fsm termination error logging OTP-8630 sv/format_status_error_info When a gen_server, gen_fsm process, or gen_event 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. A mechanism to trim out parts of the state from the log has been added (using a format_status/2 callback). See the documentation.
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.
2009-12-01Teach sys:get_status/1,2 to call Mod:format_status/2Steve Vinoski
Restore the ability for gen_server and gen_fsm callback modules to format their own state for display under the sys:get_status/1,2 calls. This ability is extremely useful for new behavior modules based on gen_server or gen_fsm, so that they can display their status in a more meaningful way than just dumping the state record. It is also generally useful for applications wanting to display their gen_server or gen_fsm callback module state in something other than the default manner. Also document the previously undocumented the gen_server:format_status/2 and gen_fsm:format_status/2 optional callback functions that, if exported by the callback module, are invoked when sys:get_status/1,2 are called. Add unit tests to ensure that format_status/2 functions exported from a gen_fsm callback module and a gen_server callback module are called when sys:get_status/1,2 are called.
