* 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.
2010-06-07Remove tid() from the predefined builtin types.Kostis Sagonas
Change erl_lint not to recognize this type as builtin and add a new erl_lint.beam version in bootstrap. Add an -opaque type declaration for this type in ets.erl and also declare this as an exported type. Use this type in file debugger/src/dbg_iload.erl in a spec. While at it, also clean up this later file a bit.
2010-06-07Fix confusing dialyzer warnings for is_record/2 with illegal recordsBjörn Gustavsson
In commit 1858cb81391d2bce29b4b7620574ca60128cebf7, erl_expand_records started to optimize is_record/2 in guards by replacing it with pattern matching (if possible). Unfortunately, dialyzer will no longer see the code before the optimization, so any warnings produced in code such as: case ExprNotProducingRecord#rec{} of X when is_record(X, rec, N) -> ... will refer to the optimized code and not the source code, which is confusing for the user. Introduce the no_is_record_optimization option for turning off the optimization and use it in dialyzer. Reported-by: Kostis Sagonas

2010-06-03stdlib: Add declarations for exported typesKostis Sagonas
2010-06-03Add infrastructure for the -export_type() attributeKostis Sagonas
erl_lint has been updated so that it takes the new -export_type() attribute into account. This means: - do not complain about types which are defined but nowhere used in the module but exported to other modules - check that all types which are exported are indeed defined in the module - warn when there are multiple occurrences of exported types. In doing this change, I've also taken the liberty to introduce many types and specs for functions of this module and to do small cleanups here and there.
2010-06-03OTP-8665 epp bugHans Bolinder
The Erlang code preprocessor (epp) did not correctly handle premature end-of-input when defining macros. This bug, introduced in STDLIB 1.16, has been fixed.
2010-06-03Merge branch 'pan/otp_8579_autoimport_override' into devErlang/OTP
* origin/pan/otp_8579_autoimport_override: Update preloaded modules Update primary bootstrap Remove outcommented code from erl_lint Make port_command/3 auto-imported Remove (harmless) warnings about min/max in core applications Autoimport min/2 and max/2 Improve coverage of erl_int in testcases Change warning to error for nowarn_bif_clash compiler directive Add -compile({no_auto_import,[F/A]}) doc to compiler.xml Add some testcases to compiler to verify that overriding really happens Return nowarn_bif_clash functionality but with warning Teach erl_lint to better override BIFs with local functions and imports Teach compiler to override autoimport with import First prototype for local functions overriding autoimported OTP-8579 Local functions should override auto-imported Local and imported functions now override the autoimported BIFs when the names clash. The pre R14 behaviour was that autoimported BIFs would override local functions. To avoid that old programs change behaviour, the following will generate an error: Doing a call without explicit module name to a local function having a name clashing with the name of an autoimported BIF that was present (and autoimported) before OTP R14A Explicitly importing a function having a name clashing with the name of an autoimported BIF that was present (and autoimported) before OTP R14A Using any form of the old compiler directive nowarn_bif_clash If the BIF was added or autoimported in OTP R14A or later, overriding it with an import or a local function will only result in a warning, To resolve clashes, you can either use the explicit module name erlang to call the BIF, or you can remove the autoimport of that specific BIF by using the new compiler directive -compile({no_auto_import,[F/A]})., which makes all calls to the local or imported function without explicit module name pass without warnings or errors. The change makes it possible to add autoimported BIFs without breaking or silently changing old code in the future. However some current code ingeniously utilizing the old behaviour or the nowarn_bif_clash compiler directive, might need changing to be accepted by the compiler.

Wrote and changed some tests in stdlib:erl_lint_SUITE nowarn_bif_clash is obsoleted but will remove warnings and errors about bif clashes. The recommended way is to use no_auto_import directives instead. Hopefully erlang.erl is the only user in the world of nowarn_bif_clash.
2010-06-02Teach erl_lint to better override BIFs with local functions and importsPatrik Nyblom
Added only a few testcases in compiler:error_SUITE and guard_SUITE The new behaviour of warnings and errors when overriding autoimported BIF's: Bifs that were autoimported before R14 are dangerous because old code using them and overriding them in exports can start behaving differently. For newly added autoimports this can't happen to the new code that wants to (or dont want to) use them, why only warnings are added for the BIFs autoimported after the compilator change. Errors are issued only for code that could have worked in one way in R13 and now will behave in a different way. If overriding autoimport with local function: - if explicit -compile directive supresses autoimport -> no message else - if called from inside module - if pre R14 autoimported bif -> error else -> warning else -> no message If overriding autoimport with import directive - if explicit -compile directive supresses autoimport -> no message else (regardless of actual usage) - if pre R14 autoimported bif -> error else -> warning Calls of local functions or imports overriding autoimported functions (either post R14 or by using explicit -compile supressions of autoimport) always goes to the local function or the imported. The compileation errors are added to not let code like this silently and disastrously change its semantic (probably to an infinite loop) between R13 and R14: ---------- -module(m). -export([length/1]). length(X) -> ... Y = length(Z), .... ---------- The user has to select if he/she wants to call length in 'erlang' explicitly or if the overriding semantics is desired, in which case the -compile directive has to be used. -compile({no_auto_import,[F/A]}). Is added to allow to override the autoimports so that code gets unanbiguous. The directive will remove an autoimport even if there is no local function or import overriding, because any other behaviour would be inconsistent and confusing. record_info and module_info can never be overridden.

2010-06-02Merge branch 'jv/autoimport-binary_to_term_2' into devErlang/OTP
* jv/autoimport-binary_to_term_2: Change binary_to_term/2 to be auto-imported OTP-8671 jv/autoimport-binary_to_term_2 Now, binary_to_term/2 is auto-imported. This will cause a compile warning if and only if a module has got a local function with that name.
2010-06-02Evaluate element/2 at compile-time using type informationBjörn Gustavsson
The erl_expand_records compiler pass translates the following code: h(X) when X#r1.a =:= 1 -> ok. to (essentially): h({r1,V1,V2}=X) when element(2, X) =:= 1 -> ok. Since the guard can only be executed when the pattern matching has succeeded, we know that the second element in the tuple X must have been bound to V2. Thus we can eliminate the call to element/2 like this: h({r1,V1,V2}=X) when V1 =:= 1 -> ok.
2010-06-02erl_expand_records: Replace is_record() with matchingBjörn Gustavsson
The compiler currently generates better code for: f(#r1{}) -> r1; f(#r2{}) -> r2; f(#r3{}) -> r3. than for: g(X) when is_record(X, r1) -> r1; g(X) when is_record(X, r2) -> r2; g(X) when is_record(X, r3) -> r3. The compiler generates good code for pattern matching (as in f/1), but in g/1 there are no patterns to match, and the clause to be executed must be chosen by evaluating the guards sequentially until one succeeds. Make the compiler generate better code by replacing calls to is_record() with matching in the function head (basically, g/1 will automatically be rewritten to do pattern matching as in f/1). Note that this rewrite will also benefit code such as: h(X) when X#r1.a =:= 1 -> ok. because it would have been rewritten to: h(X) when (is_record(X, r1, 3) orelse fail) and (element(2, X) =:= 1) -> ok. which in turn will be rewritten to: h({r1,_,_}=X) when (true orelse fail) and (element(2, X) =:= 1) -> ok. (That will be further simplified in later compiler passes.)

2010-05-27handle {global, term()} names in format_status/2Steve Vinoski
The gen_fsm, gen_server, and wx_object format_status implementations fail to handle global names of the form {global, term()} where term() is something other than an atom, pid, or list. Change these format_status implementations to treat names that are atoms, pids, or lists as before, but for all other terms, set the header property of the function return value to a tuple whose first element is a string describing the return value and whose second element is the name term. Add unit tests for gen_server and gen_fsm to verify sys:get_status calls work successfully for globally registered instances.
2010-05-24Change binary_to_term/2 to be auto-importedJayson Vantuyl
While binary_to_term/2 was added in R13B04, it wasn't auto-imported. This conformed to longstanding policy of not changing auto-imports between major versions. This patch contains changes to auto-import binary_to_term/2 to coincide with the release of R14.

A mechanism to trim out parts of the state from the log has been added (using a format_status/2 callback). See the documentation.
