* rickard/garbage_collect/OTP-11388: Parallel check_process_code when code_server purge a module Functionality for disabling garbage collection Use asynchronous check_process_code in code_parallel_SUITE Execution of system tasks in context of another process Conflicts: bootstrap/lib/kernel/ebin/hipe_unified_loader.beam erts/preloaded/ebin/erlang.beam erts/preloaded/ebin/erts_internal.beam
2013-11-18Execution of system tasks in context of another processRickard Green
A process requesting a system task to be executed in the context of another process will be notified by a message when the task has executed. This message will be on the form: {RequestType, RequestId, Pid, Result}. A process requesting a system task to be executed can set priority on the system task. The requester typically set the same priority on the task as its own process priority, and by this avoiding priority inversion. A request for execution of a system task is made by calling the statically linked in NIF erts_internal:request_system_task(Pid, Prio, Request). This is an undocumented ERTS internal function that should remain so. It should *only* be called from BIF implementations. Currently defined system tasks are: * garbage_collect * check_process_code Further system tasks can and will be implemented in the future. The erlang:garbage_collect/[1,2] and erlang:check_process_code/[2,3] BIFs are now implemented using system tasks. Both the 'garbage_collect' and the 'check_process_code' operations perform or may perform garbage_collections. By doing these via the system task functionality all garbage collect operations in the system will be performed solely in the context of the process being garbage collected. This makes it possible to later implement functionality for disabling garbage collection of a process over context switches. Newly introduced BIFs: * erlang:garbage_collect/2 - The new second argument is an option list. Introduced option: * {async, RequestId} - making it possible for users to issue asynchronous garbage collect requests. * erlang:check_process_code/3 - The new third argument is an option list. Introduced options: * {async, RequestId} - making it possible for users to issue asynchronous check process code requests. * {allow_gc, boolean()} - making it possible to issue requests that aren't allowed to garbage collect (operation will abort if gc should be needed). These options have been introduced as a preparation for parallelization of check_process_code operations when the code_server is about to purge a module.

2013-09-19Teach erlc to handle UTF-8 file namesBjörn Gustavsson
The 'erlc' program passes options to the 'erl' program using the '-s' option. The '-s' option causes all options to be converted to atoms, which implies that UTF-8 file names may not be given on the command line. We could solve just the UTF-8 problem by using '-run' and change the erl_compile module to expect strings instead of atoms, but since that is an incompatible change, we should take the opportunity to make more incompatible changes while we are at it. Specifically, when 'erlc' was first written, there was no way to pass command line arguments starting with '-' to Erlang, so 'erlc' did all parsing of arguments and translated options to atoms starting with a '@' character (for example, -I was translated to @i). Since then, the '-extra' option has been introduced which allows us to pass anything to Erlang at the end of the command line. Therefore, while at it, do the minimum of necessary command line parsing in the 'erlc' program (e.g. the '-smp' option), passing the command line essentially unchanged to 'erl' using the '-extra' option, and rewrite the option parsing in Erlang.

dict:size/1 runs in constant time, but orddict:size/1 does not. With this change, the two modules stay API compatible and gain a constant-time function for checking whether a dictionary is empty.

files as delimiters. While working on a tool that processes Erlang code and testing it against this repo, I found out about those little sneaky 0xff. I thought it may be of help to other people build such tools to remove non-conforming-to-standard characters.

2013-08-27Fix variable usage tracking in some record errorsAnthony Ramine
When reporting a field redefinition in a record, erl_lint can forget about some old unused variables. f() -> X = 1, #r{a=foo,a=bar,a=qux}.
2013-08-27Fix unsafe variable tracking in try expressionsAnthony Ramine
Variables used in the body of a try expression were marked as unsafe *and* used, which makes no sense as an unsafe variable can't be used. Function vtsubtract/2 is used to forget usage of such unsafe variables. Reported-by: Paul Davis
2013-08-27Fix variable usage tracking in erl_lintAnthony Ramine
When analyzing complex expressions (i.e. comprehensions, cases, tries, ifs and receives), erl_lint does not forget about old unused variables when returning the updated variable table. This causes a bug where old unused variables are not recorded as such: t(X, Y) -> #r{a=[ K || K <- Y ],b=[ K || K <- Y ]}. As erl_lint uses vtmerge_pat/2 to merge the results of the analysis of the two list comprehensions, X is marked as used and the warning is not emitted. The function vtmerge_pat/2 is used instead of the similar vtmerge/2 which does not mark multiple occurrences of a variable as usage to handle cases like the following one: t(X, Y) -> #r{a=A=X,b=A=Y}. Other simpler expressions like conses, tuples and external fun references do not correctly follow this behaviour, e.g. A is not marked as used in the following code: t(X, Y) -> {A=X,A=Y}. This commit fixes both issues and makes erl_lint not return old unused variables in updated tables and makes all compound expressions use vtmerge_pat/2. Reported-by: Anders Ramsell

2013-08-09Add match_limit and match_limit_recursion optionsPatrik Nyblom
Added to re:run and sets the corresponding fields in 'extra' struct for the PCRE match engine. The result can be viewed by also setting 'report_errors' when matching. Some housekeeping was also done... The offset option also did not properly check for offset's >= 0. Change nomatch to BADARG when pre-compiled mp() is faked: By constructing a 5-tuple with faked content but the right data types, you could do a re:run which returned nomatch when in fact the mp() was bad. The cheapest solution is to check the return from pcre_exec better. Remove unreachable code in erts_bif_re.c: Replaced tests for things that logically simply cannot happen with ASSERT.

Add inspect/2 function Correctly handle dupnames when capturing a name, as in Perl, get the leftmost matching occurence. Also added all_names, to get all the names in the pattern in alphabetical (name) order. To be able to use this in global matching, an inspect function that can dig out a namelist was added.
