2010-10-29Merge branch 'ks/strengthen-specs' into devBjörn Gustavsson
* ks/strengthen-specs: lists: Strengthen and modernize specs syntax_tools: Fix an erroneous type and strengthen some specs ordsets: Export ordset/1 type and strengthen specs compiler: Strengthen some specs to shut off dialyzer warnings
2010-10-28Fix epp bug concerning the file attribute and file inclusionHans Bolinder
Cover did not collect coverage data for files such as Yecc parses containing include directives. The bug has been fixed by modifying epp, the Erlang Code Preprocessor.
2010-10-26lists: Strengthen and modernize specsKostis Sagonas
Strengthen some specs that were a bit more liberal than they should. While at it, change uses of the is_subtype guard to :: which is more modern and compact.

2010-10-21Merge branch 'hb/stdlib/dets_chunk_match/OTP-8903' into devHans Bolinder
* hb/stdlib/dets_chunk_match/OTP-8903: Fix a bug concerning bchunk(), match() and select() Conflicts: lib/stdlib/test/dets_SUITE.erl
2010-10-21Fix a bug concerning bchunk(), match() and select()Hans Bolinder
If a Dets table was closed after calling bchunk/2, match/1,3, match_object/1,3, or select/1,3 and then opened again, a subsequent call using the returned continuation would normally return a reply. This bug has fixed; now the call fails with reason 'badarg'.
2010-10-21Merge branch 'hb/stdlib/dets_stream_op/OTP-8899' into devHans Bolinder
* hb/stdlib/dets_stream_op/OTP-8899: Fix a bug that could cause 'bad_object' errors Conflicts: lib/stdlib/test/dets_SUITE.erl
2010-10-21Fix a bug that could cause 'bad_object' errorsHans Bolinder
When several clients accessed a Dets table simultaneously, modifications of the Dets server's internal state were sometimes thrown away. The symptoms are diverse: error with reason 'bad_object'; inserted objects not returned by lookup(); et cetera.
2010-10-21Merge branch 'hb/stdlib/dets_fixed_dirty/OTP-8898' into devHans Bolinder
* hb/stdlib/dets_fixed_dirty/OTP-8898: Fix a bug concerning truncated Dets files Conflicts: lib/stdlib/src/dets.erl lib/stdlib/test/dets_SUITE.erl
2010-10-21Fix a bug concerning truncated Dets filesHans Bolinder
When several clients accessed a Dets table simultaneously, inserted or updated objects were sometimes lost due to the Dets file being truncated.
2010-10-21Merge branch 'hb/stdlib/dets_insert_new/OTP-8856' into devHans Bolinder
* hb/stdlib/dets_insert_new/OTP-8856: Fix a bug in dets:insert_new()
2010-10-21Fix a bug in dets:insert_new()Hans Bolinder
When several clients accessed a Dets table simultaneously, one of them calling dets:insert_new/2, the Dets server could crash. Alternatively, under the same conditions, 'ok' was sometimes returned instead of 'true'.

2010-08-19Remove binary overhead counter from ets objectsPatrik Nyblom
As the overhead counter got larger and never really was needed in ets objects, I removed them. A few stray comments of XXX:PaN type from halfword dev removed in the process.

2010-08-10Merge branch 'rickard/ethread-rewrite/OTP-8544' into devRickard Green
* rickard/ethread-rewrite/OTP-8544: Rewrite ethread library
2010-08-10Rewrite ethread libraryRickard Green
Large parts of the ethread library have been rewritten. The ethread library is an Erlang runtime system internal, portable thread library used by the runtime system itself. Most notable improvement is a reader optimized rwlock implementation which dramatically improve the performance of read-lock/read-unlock operations on multi processor systems by avoiding ping-ponging of the rwlock cache lines. The reader optimized rwlock implementation is used by miscellaneous rwlocks in the runtime system that are known to be read-locked frequently, and can be enabled on ETS tables by passing the `{read_concurrency, true}' option upon table creation. See the documentation of `ets:new/2' for more information. The ethread library can now also use the libatomic_ops library for atomic memory accesses. This makes it possible for the Erlang runtime system to utilize optimized atomic operations on more platforms than before. Use the `--with-libatomic_ops=PATH' configure command line argument when specifying where the libatomic_ops installation is located. The libatomic_ops library can be downloaded from: http://www.hpl.hp.com/research/linux/atomic_ops/ The changed API of the ethread library has also caused modifications in the Erlang runtime system. Preparations for the to come "delayed deallocation" feature has also been done since it depends on the ethread library. Note: When building for x86, the ethread library will now use instructions that first appeared on the pentium 4 processor. If you want the runtime system to be compatible with older processors (back to 486) you need to pass the `--enable-ethread-pre-pentium4-compatibility' configure command line argument when configuring the system.

2010-07-20One off-heap list, to eliminate two words per ETS object.Sverker Eriksson
Merging the three off-heap lists (binaries, funs and externals) into one list. This reduces memory consumption by two words (pointers) per ETS object.

2010-07-07Fix ets:select hanging on ordered_set with empty list as key.Sverker Eriksson
erl_db_tree.c incorrectly used NIL (empty list) as "lastkey" to mark start of the iteration. A real NIL key could then cause a select or match iteration to be restarted over and over again if the last key before a trap happended to be NIL. Changed NIL to THE_NON_VALUE. Should be ok as the initial key value can never be put into any continuation tuple.
