2011-10-17Make epp search directory of current file first when including another fileRichard Carlsson
The expected behaviour of a C-style preprocessor (such as Erlang's epp) is to allow a header file to include another header file in the same directory even though that directory is not explicitly in the include path, and even if the actual include path might reference another directory containing a file with the same name. For example, if src/foo.erl explicitly includes "../include/foo.hrl", then foo.hrl should be able to include "bar.hrl" in that same directory even though "../include" might not be in the search path, and even if another file named bar.hrl could be found using the search path it should not override the one in the same directory as foo.hrl. In Erlang, the most common situation is that a user of an installed application includes a main public header file using include_lib ("appname/include/foo.hrl") and that file includes a secondary header file "bar.hrl". However, if it does this using include_lib, it causes a bootstrapping problem - in the build environment for the application itself, the application is not necessarily found by name. On the other hand, if foo.hrl uses a plain include, then bar.hrl might be found when the application is built (if explicit paths are set in the makefils) but not later on when a user includes the main header file of the installed application via include_lib. By making -include always look in the directory of the current file before it uses the search path, this problem is remedied, and include directives behave in a more intuitive way. This completes a partial fix in R11 that only worked for include_lib().
2011-10-17Fix a bug in Dets concerning repair of almost full tablesHans Bolinder
A Dets table with sufficiently large buckets could not always be repaired. (Reported by Gordon Guthrie.) The format of Dets files has been modified. When downgrading tables created with the new system will be repaired. Otherwise the modification should not be noticeable.

2011-10-13Allow noncharacter code points in unicode encoding and decodingBjörn Gustavsson
The two noncharacter code points 16#FFFE and 16#FFFF were not allowed to be encoded or decoded using the unicode module or bit syntax. That causes an inconsistency, since the noncharacters 16#FDD0 to 16#FDEF could be encoded/decoded. There is two ways to fix that inconsistency. We have chosen to allow 16#FFFE and 16#FFFF to be encoded and decoded, because the noncharacters could be useful internally within an application and it will make encoding and decoding slightly faster. Reported-by: Alisdair Sullivan
2011-10-10Add a warning to docs about workers' shutdown strategyChristopher Faulet
2011-10-10Allow an infinite timeout to shutdown worker processesChristopher Faulet
Now, in child specification, the shutdown value can also be set to infinity for worker children. This restriction was removed because this is not always possible to predict the shutdown time for a worker. This is highly application-dependent.
2011-10-10Fix a minor bug in DetsHans Bolinder
If a Dets table had been properly closed but the space management data could not been read, it was not possible to repair the file.
2011-10-07Add '-callback' attributes in stdlib's behavioursStavros Aronis
Replace the behaviour_info(callbacks) export in stdlib's behaviours with -callback' attributes for all the callbacks.
2011-10-07Automatically generate 'behaviour_info' function from '-callback' attributesStavros Aronis
'behaviour_info(callbacks)' is a special function that is defined in a module which describes a behaviour and returns a list of its callbacks. This function is now automatically generated using the '-callback' specs. An error is returned by lint if user defines both '-callback' attributes and the behaviour_info/1 function. If no type info is needed for a callback use a generic spec for it.
2011-10-07Add '-callback' attribute to language syntaxStavros Aronis
Behaviours may define specs for their callbacks using the familiar spec syntax, replacing the '-spec' keyword with '-callback'. Simple lint checks are performed to ensure that no callbacks are defined twice and all types referred are declared. These attributes can be then used by tools to provide documentation to the behaviour or find discrepancies in the callback definitions in the callback module.

2011-09-27beam_lib: Handle rare race in the crypto key server functionalityBjörn Gustavsson
In rare circumstances, there can be a race when the crypto key server is started by beam_lib:crypto_key_fun/1 shortly after stopping it using beam_lib:clear_crypto_key_fun/0. The race occurs because the crypto key server first sends back the reply to the calling process, then terminates. (The race is probably more likely to happen on CPUs with hyper threading.)

2011-09-16Explain how dynamic child processes are stoppedChristopher Faulet
2011-09-16Stack errors when dynamic children are stoppedChristopher Faulet
Because a simple_one_for_one supervisor can have many workers, we stack errors during its shutdown to report only one message for each encountered error type. Instead of reporting the child's pid, we use the number of concerned children.
2011-09-16Explicitly kill dynamic children in supervisorsChristopher Faulet
According to the supervisor's documentation: "Important note on simple-one-for-one supervisors: The dynamically created child processes of a simple-one-for-one supervisor are not explicitly killed, regardless of shutdown strategy, but are expected to terminate when the supervisor does (that is, when an exit signal from the parent process is received)." All is fine as long as we stop simple_one_for_one supervisor manually. Dynamic children catch the exit signal from the supervisor and leave. But, if this happens when we stop an application, after the top supervisor has stopped, the application master kills all remaining processes associated to this application. So, dynamic children that trap exit signals can be killed during their cleanup (here we mean inside terminate/2). This is unpredictable and highly time-dependent. In this commit, supervisor module is patched to explicitly terminate dynamic children accordingly to the shutdown strategy. NOTE: Order in which dynamic children are stopped is not defined. In fact, this is "almost" done at the same time.
2011-09-16tar_SUITE: Work around limited pathname length on WindowsBjörn Gustavsson
Ever since the test suites were converted to the common_test convention, the tests for long names started to fail on Windows. The reason is that those test cases depend on the current working directory, and that the current working directory in common_test test cases is usually set to a directory with a longer pathname than in test_server test suites. Since neither Erlang/OTP nor common_test provides a portable way to create a temporary directory with a short name, we will have to abuse priv_dir by going upwards from it. For further information, see the comment in run_in_short_tempdir/2.

2011-09-13beam_lib_SUITE: Don't assume that "Abst" is the last chunkBjörn Gustavsson
"Line" is now the last chunk in a BEAM file, causing beam_lib_SUITE:error/1 to fail. To avoid being bitten by this problem again, don't simply change "Abst" to "Line", but use beam_lib:info/1 to find out the name of the last chunk.
