beam_lib: Clarify the beam() type in code and documentation
OTP-15378
|
|
The type `beam()` in the `beam_lib` module is confusing:
-type beam() :: module() | file:filename() | binary().
It says that the module name can be used to identify the BEAM module
to be accessed, but passing in the module name only works if the BEAM
file is located in the current working directory because the module
is not searched for in the code path.
The reason that it is allowed to pass in the module name as an atom is
for backward compatibility. A long time ago, atoms instead of strings
were used as filenames. For that reason, `filename` and `file` still
accept atoms as filenames (although the practice is frown
upon). `beam_lib` accepts an atom as the filename for the same reason.
To remove the confusion, remove `module()` from the type and the
mention of it in the documentation. Code that uses an atom as a
filename will still work, but Dialyzer will issue a warning.

* hasse/stdlib/binary_in_format/OTP-15304:
stdlib: Allow lists with binaries in the Format argument
|
|
|
|
As a consequence of some refactoring (OTP-14983, option
'chars_limit'), the Format argument of io_lib:format() no longer
accepts binaries in lists in Erlang/OTP 21.0.
Note that if Format is not of type io:format(), control sequences in
Format are ignored. This can result in unpredictable behaviour if, for
example, the output of io_lib:format() is used as Format: if the
output happens to be a string(), then control sequences are
interpreted, otherwise not.
A check that Format is of type io:format() will likely be introduced
in Erlang/OTP 22.0. That will probably mean work for some users, but
considering how unpredictable io_lib:format() is, we should try to fix
that.

The encoding option was introduced in commit
270d909696a753af022df72a404c73f2895b4a02, to allow report callbacks to
format according to a given encoding. There was, however, no
connection between this encoding option, and the encoding of the
device to which the logger handler was writing.
Since a formatter is defined to return unicode:chardata(), and in
order to avoid mismatch with the encoding of the device, the encoding
option is now removed from the formatter. The handler itself must make
sure that it does not write illegal data to its device.

* siri/supervisor/warn-shutdown-race/ERL-724:
[supervisor] Add warning about race condition
|
|
ERL-724: "During a 'gentle' shutdown, supervisors unlink from their
children before sending shutdown signals to them. This can lead to a
race condition in supervision trees, when the timeout for gentle
shutdown of a parent supervisor expires and it kills a child
supervisor that has just unlinked from a child of its own, leaving the
child supervisor's own child still running after its supervisor is
killed."
This commit adds a warning about this in the documentation.

Consider the following functions:
foo() -> bar(not_a_map).
bar(M) when not is_map_key(a, M) -> ok;
bar(_) -> error.
What will `foo/0` return? It depends. If the module is compiled
with the default compiler options, the return value will be
`ok`. If the module is compiled with the `inline` option,
the return value will be `error`.
The correct value is `error`, because the call to `is_map_key/2`
when the second argument is not a map should fail the entire
guard. That is the way other failing guards BIFs are handled.
For example:
foo() -> bar(not_a_tuple).
bar(T) when not element(1, T) -> ok;
bar(_) -> error.
`foo/0` always returns `error` (whether the code is inlined
or not).
This bug can be fixed by changing the classification of `is_map_key/2`
in the `erl_internal` module. It is now classified as a type test,
which is incorrect because type tests should not fail. Reclassifying
it as a plain guard BIF corrects the bug.
This correction also fixes the internal consistency check
failure which was reported in:
