2017-06-29Use current dir as default outdir for c:c/1,2Siri Hansen
In OTP-20, c:c/1,2 started using the directory of the source file as default output directory. For backwards compatibility reasons this is now reversed so the current directory is used instead.

2017-06-12stdlib: Evaluate expressions in fun2ms bodiesHans Bolinder
The ms_transform module, used by ets:fun2ms/1 and dbg:fun2ms, evaluates constant arithmetic expressions. This is necessary since the Erlang compiler, which normally evaluates constant expressions, does not recognize the format generated by ms_transform.

2017-06-09stdlib: Add more checks of module names to the linterHans Bolinder
Unicode atoms are handled better by the Erlang code linter. Module names are checked for character codes greater than 255. This means that modules invoked after the linter can assume that module names have only Latin-1 characters.

erl_tar: Fix handling of date and time
2017-05-29erl_tar: Fix handling of date and timeBjörn Gustavsson
Since aa0c4b0df7cdc, erl_tar would write the local time (instead of the POSIX time) into the tar header for the archived files. When extracting the tar file, the extracted file could be set to a future time (depending on the time zone). We could do a minimal fix, but this seems to be a good time to rewrite the time handling to use the new features that allow file info to be read and written in the POSIX time format. First reported here: https://github.com/erlang/rebar3/issues/1554

2017-05-22Return error tuple on unicode normalization functionsJosé Valim
Prior to this patch, the normalization functions in the unicode module would raise a function clause error for non-utf8 binaries. This patch changes it so it returns {error, SoFar, Invalid} as characters_to_binary and characters_to_list does in the unicode module. Note string:next_codepoint/1 and string:next_grapheme had to be changed accordingly and also return an error tuple.

2017-05-18stdlib: Limit the size of gen_statem's error eventsHans Bolinder
The postponed events, the user state and data, and the error reason are all limited in error events (if the Kernel variable error_logger_format_depth is set).

2017-05-18stdlib: Limit the size of proc_lib's crash reportsHans Bolinder
The size of the message queue and the dictionary is limited in crash reports. To avoid creating the potentially huge list of messages of the message queue, messages are received (if the Kernel variable error_logger_format_depth is set). The tag 'message_queue_len' has been added to the crash report.
2017-05-18stdlib: Limit the size of gen_server's error eventsHans Bolinder
The state of the gen_server is limited in error events before exiting (if the Kernel variable error_logger_format_depth is set). An alternative is to let the error_logger limit all messages (error_msg, format, warning_msg, info_msg), which would not limit reports and also add a smallish overhead to event logging. It is not decided if the alternative is to be implemented.
2017-05-18stdlib: Add io_lib:limit_term/2Hans Bolinder
The term returned by io_lib:limit_term(Term, Depth) should return the same string if substituted for Term in io_lib:format("~P", [Term, Depth]) or io_lib:format("~W", [Term, Depth]).
2017-05-17proc_lib: Don't call erlang:get_stacktrace/0 twiceBjörn Gustavsson
proc_lib calls erlang:get_stacktrace/0 twice, which is unnecessary, and potentially unsafe since there are calls to many functions in between. Any of the calls could potentially cause and catch an exception, invalidating the stacktrace. Only call erlang:get_stacktrace/0 once, and pass the result to the second place where it is needed.
2017-05-17escript: Pick up stacktrace a soon as possibleBjörn Gustavsson
It happens to work today, but it is potentially unsafe to call io:format/2 before calling erlang:get_stacktrace/0. Make the code safe by calling erlang:get_stacktrace/0 directly after catching the exception.

Warn for potentially unsafe use of get_stacktrace/0
2017-05-15Do not discard stacktraces on gen_server exitsJosé Valim
Prior to this patch, the stacktrace of an error or exit in a callback would always be discarded in crash reports. For example, an exit(crashed) in handle_call/3 would emit: =CRASH REPORT==== 10-May-2017::14:15:50 === crasher: initial call: gen_server_SUITE:init/1 pid: <0.201.0> registered_name: [] exception exit: crashed in function gen_server:terminate/8 (src/gen_server.erl, line 828) Note that the stacktrace is pointing to the gen_server internal terminate implementation that calls exit/1. This patch uses erlang:raise/3 so the stacktrace is not lost, allowing proc_lib to show the class, reason and stacktrace coming from the user implementation (in this case gen_server_SUITE): =CRASH REPORT==== 10-May-2017::14:16:44 === crasher: initial call: gen_server_SUITE:init/1 pid: <0.197.0> registered_name: [] exception exit: crashed in function gen_server_SUITE:handle_call/3 (gen_server_SUITE.erl, line 1529) This change is completely backwards compatible as using erlang:raise/3 will still emit the same exit reason to any linked process and monitor as before.

2017-05-12Warn for potentially unsafe use of get_stacktrace/0Björn Gustavsson
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()
2017-05-11qlc: Future-proof exception handling codeBjörn Gustavsson
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.
