2018-01-16stdlib: Garbage the shell's evaluator process more oftenHans Bolinder
A minor fix. If the Erlang shell saves no results (history(0) or results(0)), the evaluator process now garbage collects itself. This means that any huge binaries created by the evaluation are reclaimed faster than before.

* maint: dialyzer: Add a test of erl_tar:table/1,2 Fix false Dialyzer warnings for erl_tar:table/1
2018-01-09stdlib: Add check of stacktrace variable to erl_evalHans Bolinder
Some of the functions of the erl_eval module do not call the Erlang code linter, so they need to explicitly check that the newly introduced stacktrace variable is not bound.
2018-01-09stdlib: Improve erl_eval's stacktracesHans Bolinder
The call "erlang:get_stacktrace()" is not handled explicitly. If there are issues, they can probably be ignored since erlang:get_stacktrace/1 will be deprecated and removed.
2018-01-09Fix false Dialyzer warnings for erl_tar:table/1Guilherme Andrade
'tar_entry()' values are only returned if we specify the 'verbose' option when calling table/2, which table/1 doesn't do. Now, it appears that Dialyzer as of OTP 20 is clever enough to realize that the return type of table/1 must intersect with the return type of table/2, and so it ignores the fact that table/1 says it returns strings, and therefore its callers are expected to be dealing with 'tar_entry()' tuples, and never with strings. This is obviously a mismatch between what the code does and what the spec says is does, leading to false Dialyzer warnings on code that uses table/1 (and, presumably, also table/2 when called without the 'verbose' option.)

2018-01-05stdlib: Let filelib:find_source() search subdirsHans Bolinder
The Design Principles states that an application can have Erlang source files one level below the "src" directory, and now filelib:find_source() by default searches one level below "src". The same applies to "esrc". That directory is only mentioned in filename(3).

2017-11-30Add syntax in try/catch to retrieve the stacktrace directlyBjörn Gustavsson
This commit adds a new syntax for retrieving the stacktrace without calling erlang:get_stacktrace/0. That allow us to deprecate erlang:get_stacktrace/0 and ultimately remove it. The problem with erlang:get_stacktrace/0 is that it can keep huge terms in a process for an indefinite time after an exception. The stacktrace can be huge after a 'function_clause' exception or a failed call to a BIF or operator, because the arguments for the call will be included in the stacktrace. For example: 1> catch abs(lists:seq(1, 1000)). {'EXIT',{badarg,[{erlang,abs, [[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20|...]], []}, {erl_eval,do_apply,6,[{file,"erl_eval.erl"},{line,674}]}, {erl_eval,expr,5,[{file,"erl_eval.erl"},{line,431}]}, {shell,exprs,7,[{file,"shell.erl"},{line,687}]}, {shell,eval_exprs,7,[{file,"shell.erl"},{line,642}]}, {shell,eval_loop,3,[{file,"shell.erl"},{line,627}]}]}} 2> erlang:get_stacktrace(). [{erlang,abs, [[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22, 23,24|...]], []}, {erl_eval,do_apply,6,[{file,"erl_eval.erl"},{line,674}]}, {erl_eval,expr,5,[{file,"erl_eval.erl"},{line,431}]}, {shell,exprs,7,[{file,"shell.erl"},{line,687}]}, {shell,eval_exprs,7,[{file,"shell.erl"},{line,642}]}, {shell,eval_loop,3,[{file,"shell.erl"},{line,627}]}] 3> We can extend the syntax for clauses in try/catch to optionally bind the stacktrace to a variable. Here is an example using the current syntax: try Expr catch C:E -> Stk = erlang:get_stacktrace(), . . . In the new syntax, it would look like: try Expr catch C:E:Stk -> . . . Only a variable (not a pattern) is allowed in the stacktrace position, to discourage matching of the stacktrace. (Matching would also be expensive, because the raw format of the stacktrace would have to be converted to the cooked form before matching.) Note that: try Expr catch E -> . . . is a shorthand for: try Expr catch throw:E -> . . . If the stacktrace is to be retrieved for a throw, the 'throw:' prefix must be explicitly included: try Expr catch throw:E:Stk -> . . .
2017-11-30erl_parse: Use a new pat_expr rule for pattern expressionsBjörn Gustavsson
In the grammar file for the Erlang language, patterns are parsed as expressions. erl_lint will then weed out expressions that are not legal patterns. The rule sharing causes problems if we were to introduce new syntax, for example a pattern followed by a ':'. There would be a shift/reduce conflict, and a pattern followed by a ':' would be parsed as a remote call. Introduce a new pat_expr rule to express exactly the subset of expressions that is allowed in pattern. Note: For the moment, we must allow full expressions in case clauses to keep 'merl' working.

2017-11-28stdlib: Do not check base64 input more than neededHans Bolinder
Often the decode functions return a function_clause error, but not always, and the errors have not been consistent between modifications of the base64 module. Now the errors are returned as they happen--no attempt to make them look nice is done. The alternative, to ensure that, for example, {badarg, Culprit} is always returned upon bad input, was deemed pointless.
2017-11-28stdlib: Minor optimization of base64Hans Bolinder
Using /bits instead of /binary is faster when constructing binaries.
2017-11-28stdlib: Use binary_to_list in base64 when it is fasterHans Bolinder
It is sometimes faster to use binary_to_list on input, at least when not considering time for garbage collections. The three functions all return a list, and the temporary list created by binary_to_list should be reclaimed very fast. The implementation from before is thus kept.
2017-11-28stdlib: Optimize base64 functionsHans Bolinder
A few test cases with zeroes are added. They were not handled correctly before. The access of DECODE_MAP is moved into the inlined function b64d, for symmetry. The function b64e is also inlined. The speed-up is small, but measurable. Note: encode(List), decode(List) and mime_decode(List) no longer call list_to_binary. This can break code that calls the functions with I/O-lists as input.
