* ks/supervisor-export-types: supervisor: Type and spec related changes
2010-10-14supervisor: Type and spec related changesKostis Sagonas
- Export two more types so that they can be used in other modules - Correct some types and specs - Add spec for behaviour_info/1
2010-10-14Add the {encoding, _} options to file:open/2's modesKostis Sagonas
Although the {encoding, encoding()} set of options is documented in the manual page of the 'file' module, they do not appear in the Mode description on that page nor in the mode() type declaration. The patch adds this information in both the code of the module and the documentation of the module. To avoid duplication, the declaration of the encoding() type is added to the 'unicode' module where it most probably belongs. While at it, added a proper declaration for posix(), took out the now superfluous information about the types of file:open/2 from the erl_bif_types module, and corrected the return type of file:open/2 so that it corresponds to the published documentation.

2010-10-06Documentation update to ETS and driversSverker Eriksson
State more clearly that ETS functions will throw badarg if calling process lacks access right. And that driver stop callback should free memory allocted by start.
2010-10-06Avoid errors for a badly formed export_type declarationsKostis Sagonas
In the following program, erl_lint crashed with an erl_lint internal error. With this patch it does not, but prints "bad export_type declaration" errors instead. -module(baz). -export([test/0]). -export_type(t/0). -export_type([3.14]). -type t() :: any(). test() -> 42.

2010-09-06Change pool module to attempt to attach to nodes that are already runningKelly McLaughlin
The pool module prints out an error message and takes no further action for nodes that are already running. This patch changes that behavior so that if the return from slave:start/3 is {already_running, Node} then an attempt to attach to the node is still made. This makes sense because the node has been specified by the user in the .hosts.erlang file indicating a wish for the node to be part of the pool and a manual attach can be successfully made after the pool is started.

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 format_status bug for unregistered gen_event processesGeoff Cant
Port the gen_fsm code for format_status to gen_event in order to prevent a lists:concat([...,pid()]) crash when calling sys:get_status/1 on an unregistered gen_event process. Refactor format_status header code from gen_* behaviours to module gen. Extend the format_status tests in gen_event_SUITE to cover format_status bugs with anonymous gen_event processes.
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.
