Copyright notices serve no useful purpose in vsn.mk files, and only complicate scripts that automatically update version numbers.

2010-08-19Remove binary overhead counter from ets objectsPatrik Nyblom
As the overhead counter got larger and never really was needed in ets objects, I removed them. A few stray comments of XXX:PaN type from halfword dev removed in the process.

2010-08-10Merge branch 'rickard/ethread-rewrite/OTP-8544' into devRickard Green
* rickard/ethread-rewrite/OTP-8544: Rewrite ethread library
2010-08-10Rewrite ethread libraryRickard Green
Large parts of the ethread library have been rewritten. The ethread library is an Erlang runtime system internal, portable thread library used by the runtime system itself. Most notable improvement is a reader optimized rwlock implementation which dramatically improve the performance of read-lock/read-unlock operations on multi processor systems by avoiding ping-ponging of the rwlock cache lines. The reader optimized rwlock implementation is used by miscellaneous rwlocks in the runtime system that are known to be read-locked frequently, and can be enabled on ETS tables by passing the `{read_concurrency, true}' option upon table creation. See the documentation of `ets:new/2' for more information. The ethread library can now also use the libatomic_ops library for atomic memory accesses. This makes it possible for the Erlang runtime system to utilize optimized atomic operations on more platforms than before. Use the `--with-libatomic_ops=PATH' configure command line argument when specifying where the libatomic_ops installation is located. The libatomic_ops library can be downloaded from: http://www.hpl.hp.com/research/linux/atomic_ops/ The changed API of the ethread library has also caused modifications in the Erlang runtime system. Preparations for the to come "delayed deallocation" feature has also been done since it depends on the ethread library. Note: When building for x86, the ethread library will now use instructions that first appeared on the pentium 4 processor. If you want the runtime system to be compatible with older processors (back to 486) you need to pass the `--enable-ethread-pre-pentium4-compatibility' configure command line argument when configuring the system.

2010-07-20One off-heap list, to eliminate two words per ETS object.Sverker Eriksson
Merging the three off-heap lists (binaries, funs and externals) into one list. This reduces memory consumption by two words (pointers) per ETS object.

2010-07-07Fix ets:select hanging on ordered_set with empty list as key.Sverker Eriksson
erl_db_tree.c incorrectly used NIL (empty list) as "lastkey" to mark start of the iteration. A real NIL key could then cause a select or match iteration to be restarted over and over again if the last key before a trap happended to be NIL. Changed NIL to THE_NON_VALUE. Should be ok as the initial key value can never be put into any continuation tuple.

* pan/otp_8683_compiler_warnings: Remove (harmless) warning regarding auto-imported BIF max/2 Update primary bootstrap Correct warnings and errors for auto-imported bif clashes Conflicts: bootstrap/lib/stdlib/ebin/erl_lint.beam
2010-06-09Correct warnings and errors for auto-imported bif clashesPatrik Nyblom
warn_unused_import works correctly (does not give warnings when overridden). Local call in guard gives its own error pointing out the local/imported function. Use of the phrase "overridden auto-imported bif" instead of "redefined auto-imported bif" in textual error messages.
