beam_lib:all_chunks/1 and beam_lib:build_module/1 can be useful for special-purpose stripping, for example to remove the "Line" chunk.

2015-10-08stdlib: Refactor the supervisor module's stateHans Bolinder
The field 'dynamics' in #state{} is a union of two opaque types, which is possibly problematic. Tagging the types should make the code safe for warnings from future versions of Dialyzer.
2015-10-08Update Kernel and STDLIBHans Bolinder
Record field types have been modified due to commit 8ce35b2: "Take out automatic insertion of 'undefined' from typed record fields".
2015-10-08Take out automatic insertion of 'undefined' from typed record fieldsKostis Sagonas
Background ----------- In record fields with a type declaration but without an initializer, the Erlang parser inserted automatically the singleton type 'undefined' to the list of declared types, if that value was not present there. I.e. the record declaration: -record(rec, {f1 :: float(), f2 = 42 :: integer(), f3 :: some_mod:some_typ()}). was translated by the parser to: -record(rec, {f1 :: float() | 'undefined', f2 = 42 :: integer(), f3 :: some_mod:some_typ() | 'undefined'}). The rationale for this was that creation of a "dummy" #rec{} record should not result in a warning from dialyzer that e.g. the implicit initialization of the #rec.f1 field violates its type declaration. Problems --------- This seemingly innocent action has some unforeseen consequences. For starters, there is no way for programmers to declare that e.g. only floats make sense for the f1 field of #rec{} records when there is no `obvious' default initializer for this field. (This also affects tools like PropEr that use these declarations produced by the Erlang parser to generate random instances of records for testing purposes.) It also means that dialyzer does not warn if e.g. an is_atom/1 test or something more exotic like an atom_to_list/1 call is performed on the value of the f1 field. Similarly, there is no way to extend dialyzer to warn if it finds record constructions where f1 is not initialized to some float. Last but not least, it is semantically problematic when the type of the field is an opaque type: creating a union of an opaque and a structured type is very problematic for analysis because it fundamentally breaks the opacity of the term at that point. Change ------- To solve these problems the parser will not automatically insert the 'undefined' value anymore; instead the user has the option to choose the places where this value makes sense (for the field) and where it does not and insert the | 'undefined' there manually. Consequences of this change ---------------------------- This change means that dialyzer will issue a warning for all places where records with uninitialized fields are created and those fields have a declared type that is incompatible with 'undefined' (e.g. float()). This warning can be suppressed easily by adding | 'undefined' to the type of this field. This also adds documentation that the user really intends to create records where this field is uninitialized.

2015-09-11base64_SUITE: Speed up roundtrip/1Björn Gustavsson
Refactor roundtrip/1 into 4 test cases that can be run in parallel. Assuming that there are 4 cores available, the group of 4 test cases will run at roughly one fourth of the time for the original test case.

2015-09-11io_proto_SUITE: Speed up determination of default shellBjörn Gustavsson
Use getline_pred action that fails fast if the shell is not the oldshell, to avoid having to wait for the timeout.
2015-09-11io_proto_SUITE: Refactor up rtnode() and friendsBjörn Gustavsson
Introduce a new {getline_pred, Fun, Msg} action that is useful in itself, but can also be used to share more code for {getline, Match} and {getline_re, Match}. Also get rid of the ?line macros in rtnode() so that we can somewhat reduce the ridculous indentation level.
2015-09-11gen_event_SUITE: Remove unnecessary sleep callsBjörn Gustavsson
The calls to test_server:sleep/1 are unnecessary as the swapping of handlers happens in a single process. Even though the {swap_info,...} message is sent asynchronously, the gen_event:which_handlers/1 call will not have a chance to execute until the handlers have been swapped.
2015-09-11proc_lib: Improve coverage for crash/1Björn Gustavsson
First refactor the entire test case using helper functions to facilitate further maintenance. Then test that proc_lib can handle that the process dictionary has been erased (that will cover more code in proc_lib). We can also shave off 2 seconds of the execution time by testing the 'shutdown' exit reasons at beginning of the test case instead of doing it at the end.
2015-09-11proc_lib_SUITE: Eliminate compiler warningsBjörn Gustavsson
Use error/1 instead of forcing a badmatch.
