2015-03-20Replace usage of erlang:now() with usage of new APIRickard Green
2015-03-20Introduce a new time APIRickard Green
The old time API is based on erlang:now/0. The major issue with erlang:now/0 is that it was intended to be used for so many unrelated things. This tied these unrelated operations together and unnecessarily caused performance, scalability as well as accuracy, and precision issues for operations that do not need to have such issues. The new API spreads different functionality over multiple functions in order to improve on this. The new API consists of a number of new BIFs: - erlang:convert_time_unit/3 - erlang:monotonic_time/0 - erlang:monotonic_time/1 - erlang:system_time/0 - erlang:system_time/1 - erlang:time_offset/0 - erlang:time_offset/1 - erlang:timestamp/0 - erlang:unique_integer/0 - erlang:unique_integer/1 - os:system_time/0 - os:system_time/1 and a number of extensions of existing BIFs: - erlang:monitor(time_offset, clock_service) - erlang:system_flag(time_offset, finalize) - erlang:system_info(os_monotonic_time_source) - erlang:system_info(time_offset) - erlang:system_info(time_warp_mode) - erlang:system_info(time_correction) - erlang:system_info(start_time) See the "Time and Time Correction in Erlang" chapter of the ERTS User's Guide for more information.

2014-11-18erl_tar: Extend api to define own storage media access functions.Hans Nilsson
The reason for this is a requirement on enabling ssh_sftp to write a tar file on the server. This new api function is used by ssh_sftp:open_tar/3,4.

This is to prevent dialyzer warning "no local return".

2014-11-11Remove comments about unicode atoms in OTP 18Siri Hansen
There was once a plan to implement support for unicode atoms in OTP 18. This plan has been stopped until further notice, and the information about this is now removed from the documentation.
2014-11-07Add stack trace for gen_server exit in ERROR REPORTSiri Hansen
If a callback function was terminated with exit/1, there would be no stack trace in the ERROR REPORT produced by gen_server. This has been corrected. The actual exit reason for the process is not changed.
2014-11-04fix doc for maps:with/2dcy
2014-10-23Fix rare race condition in DetsHans Bolinder
The correction is due to the the evil testcase dets_SUITE:simultaneous_open(). If the process repairing a Dets file is killed (should normally never happen), and another process tries to repair the file, a temporary file from the first process could live on for a while, even after a successful call to file:delete(). This has only been seen on W-nd-ows, where it is a known problem. There are other ways to deal with the problem (rename the file; use some other filename), but we continue using one certain filename in order to be as backwards compatible as possible.

2014-10-01Make shell ctrl-u save killed text correctlySteve Vinoski
Fix edlin to correctly save text killed with ctrl-u. Prior to this fix, entering text into the Erlang shell and then killing it with ctrl-u followed by yanking it back with ctrl-y would result in the yanked text being the reverse of the original killed text. Add a test for the fix to interactive_shell_SUITE. (This is the same fix as in PR#416, but that PR was never completed.)

2014-09-25Fix stdlib.appup for OTP-17.4Siri Hansen
This is to allow upgrade from stdlib-2.2 (OTP-17.3).
2014-09-25Do not test appup of core apps for upgrade from current vsnSiri Hansen
The appup tests for kernel, stdlib and sasl tests that the appup file allows upgrade from the previous and current major release to the current release. If, in the current release, the application version was not changed compared to the previous release, then we would still test that the appup supported the upgrade (i.e. from current release to current release). This is now changed, in order to avoid test failures on patch releases where kernel, stdlib and sasl are not changed.

2014-09-19Optimise io requests for long message queuesMagnus Henoch
Ensure that the monitor reference is present in all receive clauses, so that the compiler optimisation kicks in and the run time won't depend on the length of the message queue of the calling process. Remove the 'EXIT' clause, as its presence breaks the optimisation, and that case is handled by the 'DOWN' clause anyway. The test io_SUITE:io_with_huge_message_queue is an adaptation of gen_server_SUITE:call_with_huge_message_queue.
2014-09-18Add note about adjacent separator characters in string:tokens/2Siri Hansen
Adjacent separator characters are treated as one in string:tokens/2. This was shown in the example in the reference manual but it was not written in words. A note about this is now added.

This commit also provides the benefit that the Label argument in gen:call/3 is no longer used, as we can access the sender in the From argument. Therefore, we should be able to change the Label to something more relevant in the future.
