The function erl_scan:reserved_word/1 no longer returns true when given the
word spec. This bug was introduced in STDLIB-1.15.3 (R12B-3).
|
|
|
|
When defining macros the closing right parenthesis before the dot is now
mandatory.
|
|
The Erlang parser no longer duplicates the singleton type undefined in the
type of record fields without initial value.

Both reltool and rebar needs to parse escripts. They are currently
using an undocumented function called escript:foldl/3. It folds a
function over all files in the body of an escript. If the body
contains source code the function compiles it and the gives debug
compiled beam code to the fold fun. If the body is an archive the fun
is applied for all files in the archive.
Instead of making the undocumented function public, the new functions
escript:create/2 and escript:extract/2 has been introduced. Together
with the new zip:foldl/3 function they have the same functionality as
escript:foldl/3 in a more flexible and generic way.
escript:foldl/3 should be removed as soon as reltool and rebar has
been adopted to use the new functions. The simplest way for reltool
and rebar to do this is to just copy the code from
escript_SUITE:escript_foldl/3, which happens to provide a future
compatible implementation of an emulated escript:foldl/3 function.
I was quite hesitant when I introduced the compile_source option. It
feels that it does not belong there but the alternative felt worse.
The rationale for the compile_source option is that it is a bit
cumbersome to compile the source code, as the source in most cases is
partial. In order to do compile the source you need to know about some
internals in escript. Without compile_source I think that these
internals should be documented. Further you need to duplicate parts of
the code.
Without the compile_source option you need to first parse the source
to forms, using an undocumented function in epp with an extended
format of predefined macros which also is undocumented. Then you need
to investigate the forms to see if you need to add an export form for
main. When that is done you can run the rest of the compiler passes as
usual. It is not so much code (60 lines or so) to write, but I do not
want to urge people to write it. I actually wrote the code (see
escript_SUITE:escript_foldl/3) before I decided to introduce the
compile_source option.

This is the public interface of prim_zip:open/3,
which has been used in earlier releases by both
erl_prim_loader and escript. The new function
can be used as a replacement for the undocumented
function escript:foldl/3 that is likely to be
removed without further notice.
The error handling of prim_zip:open/3 (and
prim_zip:foldl/3) has been improved in order to
better suite a public interface. For example it
could happen that a file or a zlib port could be
left open in some errors cases.
The documentation of the FileSpec parameter to
zip:create/3 has been updated to show that
file info can be explicitly specified. A FileSpec
may contain {Filename, binary(), #file_info{}}
elements. The function zip:create/3 was already
prepared to partly support this, but now after
a few minor fixes it is fully supported.

The empty record (no fields) is now considered typed.
It is more consistent than before; the base case is
the logical one.
A record is typed iff all its fields are typed.
A record is tagged 'typed' iff it is typed.
|
|
The abstract type 'fun' could not be printed. This bug has been fixed.
|
|
The Erlang code preprocessor (epp) sent extra messages on the form
{eof,Location} to the client when parsing the file attribute. This bug,
introduced in R11B, has been fixed.

children being managed without the memory impact of which_children/1
The function which_children/1 returns a list of the child processes
currently being supervised, but it has the penalty of creating a new
list thereby consuming more memory. In low memory situations it is
often desirable to know which supervisor may have generated many
processes, but the act of discovering the culprit should not cause the
node to crash (or worse a different node if the kernel kills one
randomly). The new function count_children/1 can give an indication
of which supervisor is taxing resources the most without adding to the
burden. Rather than creating a new list, it walks the supervisor's
internal children structure using an accumulator function so that any
used memory can be incrementally collected yet the resulting count can
still be obtained.
The return result of count_children/1 is a property list of counts
containing:
- {specs, Total_Num_Child_Specs}
- {active, Num_Active_Child_Processes_Of_Supervisor_Or_Worker_Type}
- {supervisors, Num_Supervisor_Type_Children_Including_Dead_Processes}
- {workers, Num_Worker_Type_Children_Including_Dead_Processes}
This patch was made in response to mailing list discussions of the
problem diagnosing heavily taxed production systems. I cannot find
the original request, but http://www.erlang.org/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi/4/35060
is my original post of the patch.

erl_lint_SUITE: adjust failing test case
Allow recursive types and check for undefined types
OTP-8421: ks/erl_lint

Errors are now reported slightly differently, so we'll
need to adjust the test case.

Now, when we have only the constant definition of a macro (without
arguments), we always use it. In all other cases, we try to find the
exact matching definition. We throw an error if we don't find it.
|
|
This feature simplifies the definition of macros by avoiding to have a
different name for each version (with different arities) of the same
macros. New rules:
- can have multiple definitions of the same macro with different arities
- cannot overload macro with the same arity
- the overloading of predefined macros (?MODULE, ?LINE, ...) is forbidden
- the directive '-undef' removes all definitions of a macro

* ta/ensure_dir_eexist:
filelib_SUITE: strenghten tests of filelib:ensure_dir/1
Don't return a false {error,eexist} in filelib:ensure_dir/1
OTP-8389 Because of a race condition, using filelib:ensure_dir/1 from
multiple processes to create the same path or parts of the same
directory structure, filelib:ensure_dir/1 could return a
meaningless {error,eexist}. That race condition has been
eliminated, and {error,eexist} will now be returned only if there
exists a regular file, device file, or some other non-directory
file with the same name. (Thanks to Tuncer Ayaz.)

Don't change any guard tests in the id_transform_SUITE
module, because it intentionally use the old guard tests
to test that id_transform can handle them.
|
|
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.

* rb/stdlib_re_unicode_fixes:
Fix lost unicode option in re:compile()
Refactor out repeated block in re module
Fix re:replace/4 to handle unicode charlist Replacement argument
Fix re:replace/4 to handle unicode charlist RE argument
Fix re:replace/4 to handle binary unicode output when nothing replaced
OTP-8394 A number of bugs concerning re and unicode are corrected:
- re:compile no longer loses unicode option, which also fixes bug
in re:split.
- re:replace now handles unicode charlist replacement argument
- re:replace now handles unicode RE charlist argument correctly
- re:replace now handles binary unicode output correctly when
nothing is replaced.

A bug in re:replace/4 causes a badarg exception to be thrown when the
Replacement argument is a charlist containing non-ascii codepoints.
The problem is that the code incorrectly assumes that the Replacement
text is iodata() and calls iolist_to_binary/1 on it. This patch fixes
it to obey the 'unicode' option and handle charlist() Replacement
arguments correctly.
|
|
The real problem is in the re:run/3 BIF.
Noticed-by: Rory Byrne
Tests-by: Rory Byrne
|
|
A bug with re:replace/4 causes an exception when: (a) it's given a
unicode charlist as input; (b) it's set to {return,binary}; and
(c) it finds nothing to replace.
The problem is: when re:replace/4 does not find anything to replace
in its Subject input, it calls iolist_to_binary on this data. This
fails if the original input is a charlist with non-ascii codepoints.

Test that filelib:ensure_dir/1 returns {error,eexist} if
there already exists a regular file with the name as
a directory that should be created.
While at it, slightly strenghten the otp_5960/1 test case
by repeating each call to filelib:ensure_dir/1.

fragments was created. This will mainly benefit NIFs that return
large compound terms.
|
|
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.)

* as/c_nc-fix:
c_SUITE: Use new style guard tests
Fix c:nc to use outdir or cwd to find compiled object file
OTP-8337 c:nc/{1,2} used to assume that the beam file was created in the
same directory as the source code and failed to load the code if
it was not. Corrected to look for the beam file in the current
directory or in the directory specified by the {outdir,Dir}
option. (Thanks to Alex Suraci.)
|
|
|
|
Before this patch, c:nc would naively assume the object file was created
in the same location as the .erl file. This is often false, for example
when an outdir is specified (often the case in make:all([netload])) or
calling with c:nc("foo/bar") (because compile:file places bar.beam in
the cwd, not foo/).

* sv/sys_get_status:
Teach sys:get_status/1,2 to call Mod:format_status/2
gen_fsm: Fix format_status/2 to handle Pids
OTP-8324 The ability for the gen_server and gen_fsm callback modules to
format their own state for display under the sys:get_status/1,2
calls has been restored and documented. (Thanks to Steve
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.
