2018-04-26[stdlib/sys]: install one debug function more times (#1781)Pouriya
Allow installing multiple instances of sys debug function This commit solves a bug which allowed installing {Fun,State} as sys debug function even if Fun was already installed. This happened in the case when the current State of the debug fun was undefined. Also, the new format {Id,Fun,State} of debug functions can be installed, allowing multiple instances of the same fun.

2018-04-25stdlib: Modify the printing of map associations with wWpPHans Bolinder
Use the same depth for all (printed) elements of a map. Since the order of keys can vary when printing a map--maps:iterator/1 and maps:next/1 are used--it is more consistent to print all associations with the same depth. If the associations printed are limited by the depth, the selection of associations is arbitrary, as before.
2018-04-25stdlib: Introduce characters limit of formated stringsHans Bolinder
Inspiration from module lager_format. Also some improvements of Unicode handling. io_lib:format/3 and io_lib:fwrite/3 are new functions. The representation of the options is a list, but we are considering using a map instead. If we change, it will happen after Erlang/OTP 21.0-rc1 is released.
2018-04-25stdlib: Modify ~w/~W when number of characters is limitedHans Bolinder
A bug fix: limited maps end with "...", not "...=>...". A modification: wW separate pairs with " => ", not "=>". When the output is limited on number of characters, the term is balanced by wW the same way as is done with pP (see commit bc38638).

2018-04-24Introduce map_get guard-safe functionMichał Muskała
Rationale Today all compound data types except for maps can be deconstructed in guards. For tuples we have `element/2` and for lists `hd/1` and `tl/1`. Maps are completely opaque to guards. This means matching on maps can't be abstracted into macros, which is often done with repetitive guards. It also means that maps have to be always selected whole from ETS tables, even when only one field would be enough, which creates a potential efficiency issue. This PR introduces an `erlang:map_get/2` guard-safe function that allows extracting a map field in guard. An alternative to this function would be to introduce the syntax for extracting a value from a map that was planned in the original EEP: `Map#{Key}`. Even outside of guards, since this function is a guard-BIF it is more efficient than using `maps:get/2` (since it does not need to set up the stack), and more convenient from pattern matching on the map (compare: `#{key := Value} = Map, Value` to `map_get(key, Map)`). Performance considerations A common concern against adding this function is the notion that "guards have to be fast" and ideally execute in constant time. While there are some counterexamples (`length/1`), what is more important is the fact that adding those functions does not change in any way the time complexity of pattern matching - it's already possible to match on map fields today directly in patterns - adding this ability to guards will niether slow down or speed up the execution, it will only make certain programs more convenient to write. This first version is very naive and does not perform any optimizations.
2018-04-23Fix sys's debug statistics.Boshan Sun
Currently, in sys:stat/2, the message out only count for system events with format {out, Msg, To}. However, the gen_server:reply/5 will call sys:handle_debug/4 with format {out, Reply, To, State}. That will make the message out count fail to pattern matching. Also update sys_SUITE.erl and relevant docs.

2018-03-26Compile external fun expressions to literalsMichał Muskała
The expressions fun M:F/A, when all elements are literals are also treated as a literal. Since they have consistent representation and don't depend on the code currently loaded in the VM, this is safe. This can provide significant performance improvements in code using such functions extensively - a full function call to erlang:make_fun/3 is replaced by a single move instruction and no register shuffling or saving registers to stack is necessary. Additionally, compound data types that contain such external functions as elements can be treated as literals too. The commit also changes the representation of external funs to be a valid Erlang syntax and adds support for literal external funs to core Erlang.

* raimo/type-posix-0-overhaul/ERL_550/OTP-14019: Update types for posix error codes
2018-03-26Update types for posix error codesRaimo Niskanen
I have read the man pages for most socket and file operations on recent Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD and Solaris 10 and noted the possible error codes. Which error codes that are possible for file operations have been updated in file:posix/0. Error codes for socket operations in inet:posix/0. The latter refers to the former so it is a superset, assuming that e.g sendfile and AF_UNIX socket operations could cause socket operations to return any file error code. That is not entirely true, but could be, especially in the future. Added to file:posix/0 are: ebadmsg edeadlk edeadlock eftype emultihop enobufs enolck enolink enosr enostr enosys eopnotsupp eoverflow erange etxtbsy Added to inet:posix/0 are all but: exbadport exbadseq file:posix() These are still possible according to erl_posix_str.c, but are not in file:posix/0 nor in inet:posix/0, and many of them are not file nor inet related, but some might be: e2big eadv ealign ebade ebadfd ebadr ebadrpc ebadrqc ebadslt ebfont echild echrng ecomm edirty edom edotdot eduppkg eidrm einit eisnam elbin el2hlt el2nsync el3hlt el3rst elibacc elibbad elibexec elibmax elibscn elnrng enavail enet enoano enocsi enodata enoexec enonet enosym enotempty enotnam enotuniq eproclim eprocunavail eprogmismatch eprogunavail erefused eremchg eremdev eremote eremoteio eremoterelease erpcmismatch erremote eshutdown esrmnt esuccesss etime etoomanyrefs euclean eunatch eusers eversion exfull sysnotready vernotsupported ediscon enomore ecancelled einvalidproctable einvalidprovider eproviderfailedinit syscallfailure service_not_found type_not_found e_no_more e_cancelled unknown

Implementation of true asynchronous signaling between processes
2018-03-21Implementation of true asynchronous signaling between processesRickard Green
Communication between Erlang processes has conceptually always been performed through asynchronous signaling. The runtime system implementation has however previously preformed most operation synchronously. In a system with only one true thread of execution, this is not problematic (often the opposite). In a system with multiple threads of execution (as current runtime system implementation with SMP support) it becomes problematic. This since it often involves locking of structures when updating them which in turn cause resource contention. Utilizing true asynchronous communication often avoids these resource contention issues. The case that triggered this change was contention on the link lock due to frequent updates of the monitor trees during communication with a frequently used server. The signal order delivery guarantees of the language makes it hard to change the implementation of only some signals to use true asynchronous signaling. Therefore the implementations of (almost) all signals have been changed. Currently the following signals have been implemented as true asynchronous signals: - Message signals - Exit signals - Monitor signals - Demonitor signals - Monitor triggered signals (DOWN, CHANGE, etc) - Link signals - Unlink signals - Group leader signals All of the above already defined as asynchronous signals in the language. The implementation of messages signals was quite asynchronous to begin with, but had quite strict delivery constraints due to the ordering guarantees of signals between a pair of processes. The previously used message queue partitioned into two halves has been replaced by a more general signal queue partitioned into three parts that service all kinds of signals. More details regarding the signal queue can be found in comments in the erl_proc_sig_queue.h file. The monitor and link implementations have also been completely replaced in order to fit the new asynchronous signaling implementation as good as possible. More details regarding the new monitor and link implementations can be found in the erl_monitor_link.h file.
