Warn for potentially unsafe use of get_stacktrace/0
|
|
Add option hibernate_after to gen_server, gen_statem and gen_event.
Also added to the deprecated gen_fsm behaviour.
OTP14405

erlang:get_stacktrace/0 returns the stacktrace for the latest
exception. The problem is that the stacktrace is kept until the next
exception occurs. If the last exception was a 'function_clause' or a
'badarg', the arguments for the call are also kept forever. The
arguments can be terms of any size (potentially huge).
In a future release, we would like to only allow
erlang:get_stacktrace/0 from within a 'try' expression. That would
make it possible to clear the stacktrace when the 'try' expression is
exited.
The 'catch' expression has no natural end where the stacktrace could
be cleared. The stacktrace could be cleared at the end of the function
that the 'catch' occurs in, but that would cause problems in the
following scenario (from real life, but simplified):
try
...
catch _:_ ->
io:format(...),
io:format("~p\n", [erlang:get_stacktrace()])
end.
%% In io.erl.
format(Fmt, Args) ->
Res = case ... of
SomePattern ->
catch...
...;
SomeOtherPattern ->
%% Output the formatted string here
...
end,
clear_stacktrace(), %% Inserted by compiler.
Res.
The call to io:format() would always clear the stacktrace before
it could be retrieved.
That problem could be solved by tightning the scope in which the
stacktrace is kept, but the rules for how long erlang:get_stacktrace/0
would work would become complicated.
Therefore, the solution we suggest for a future major release of
OTP is that erlang:get_stacktrace/0 will return [] if it is called
outside the 'catch' part of a 'try' expression.
To help users prepare, introduce a warning when it is likely that
erlang:get_stacktrace/0 will always return an empty list, for example
in this code:
catch error(foo),
Stk = erlang:get_stacktrace()
or in this code:
try Expr
catch _:_ -> ok end,
Stk = erlang:get_stacktrace()
|
|
In the future, erlang:get_stacktrace/0 will probably only work
inside a the 'catch' block of a 'try' expression.
Future-proof the code by rewriting the old-style catch to
a try...catch.

stdlib: Add examples for ets:select_replace docs

|
|

|
Enable ets:select_replace to do a generic single object
compare-and-swap operation of any ets-tuple using
a matchspec like this:
[{Old, [], [{const, New}]}]
The only exception when this does not work is if the key
contains maps or atoms looking like variables (like '$1').

The extended parser introduced in last commit is used in qlc for
solving an old bug: pids and refs could not be parsed by
string_to_handle(). The parser is also used for adjustments regarding
ETS identifiers (now references) in qlc_SUITE.
Notice that pids, references, ports, and external functions that
cannot be created in the currently running system cause syntax errors
(as before).
|
|
As of Erlang/OTP 20.0, the type of ETS tables, ets:tid(), is a
reference(). A request was put forward that the Erlang shell should be
able to handle references in its input.
This commit introduces an extended parser in module lib. It can parse
pids, ports, references, and external funs under the condition that
they can be created in the running system. The parser is meant to be
used internally in Erlang/OTP. The alternative, to extend erl_scan and
erl_parse, was deemed inferior as it would require the abstract format
be able to represent pids, ports, references, and funs, which would be
confusing as they are not expressions as such, but data types.

Introduce new "Dbgi" chunk

|

The new Dbgi chunk returns data in the following format:
{debug_info_v1, Backend, Data}
This allows compilers to store the debug info in different
formats. In order to retrieve a particular format, for
instance, Erlang Abstract Format, one may invoke:
Backend:debug_info(erlang_v1, Module, Data, Opts)
Besides introducing the chunk above, this commit also:
* Changes beam_lib:chunk(Beam, [:abstract_code]) to
read from the new Dbgi chunk while keeping backwards
compatibility with old .beams
* Adds the {debug_info, {Backend, Data}} option to
compile:file/2 and friends that are stored in the
Dbgi chunk. This allows the debug info encryption
mechanism to work across compilers
* Improves dialyzer to work directly on Core Erlang,
allowing languages that do not have the Erlang
Abstract Format to be dialyzer as long as they emit
the new chunk and their backend implementation is
available
Backwards compatibility is kept across the board except
for those calling beam_lib:chunk(Beam, ["Abst"]), as the
old chunk is no longer available. Note however the "Abst"
chunk has always been optional.
Future OTP versions may remove parsing the "Abst" chunk
altogether from beam_lib once Erlang 19 and earlier is no
longer supported.
The current Dialyzer implementation still supports earlier
.beam files and such may also be removed in future versions.

stdlib: Fix documentation on sets’ representation
|
|
The Erlang shell's temporary support for Unicode node names is
removed. There will be no support for Unicode node names in
Erlang/OTP 20.0.
|
|
The Unicode translation modifier 't' is added to the io:fread/2,3
control sequence 'a'.
|
|
As of the introduction of Unicode characters in atoms, the control
sequences 'w' and 'W' can return non-Latin-1 characters, unless some
measure is taken.
This commit makes sure that '~w' and '~W' always return Latin-1
characters, or bytes, which can be output to ports or written to raw
files.
The Unicode translation modifier 't' is needed to return non-Latin-1
characters.
