Communication between Erlang processes has conceptually always been
performed through asynchronous signaling. The runtime system
implementation has however previously preformed most operation
synchronously. In a system with only one true thread of execution, this
is not problematic (often the opposite). In a system with multiple threads
of execution (as current runtime system implementation with SMP support)
it becomes problematic. This since it often involves locking of structures
when updating them which in turn cause resource contention. Utilizing
true asynchronous communication often avoids these resource contention
issues.
The case that triggered this change was contention on the link lock due
to frequent updates of the monitor trees during communication with a
frequently used server. The signal order delivery guarantees of the
language makes it hard to change the implementation of only some signals
to use true asynchronous signaling. Therefore the implementations
of (almost) all signals have been changed.
Currently the following signals have been implemented as true
asynchronous signals:
- Message signals
- Exit signals
- Monitor signals
- Demonitor signals
- Monitor triggered signals (DOWN, CHANGE, etc)
- Link signals
- Unlink signals
- Group leader signals
All of the above already defined as asynchronous signals in the
language. The implementation of messages signals was quite
asynchronous to begin with, but had quite strict delivery constraints
due to the ordering guarantees of signals between a pair of processes.
The previously used message queue partitioned into two halves has been
replaced by a more general signal queue partitioned into three parts
that service all kinds of signals. More details regarding the signal
queue can be found in comments in the erl_proc_sig_queue.h file.
The monitor and link implementations have also been completely replaced
in order to fit the new asynchronous signaling implementation as good
as possible. More details regarding the new monitor and link
implementations can be found in the erl_monitor_link.h file.

The number of arguments to visit-tags-table-buffer have
increased in Emacs 26.
|
|
This concerns tag finding commands in Emacs 24. If the word at point
is preceded by a hash suggest as default a jump to a record
definition. If it is a question mark suggest a macro. Otherwise
assume it is a function. If it is not a qualified call assume it is a
local function.

The default target is changed to be just the name at point when
xref-find-references is invoked. Previously the default was the same
as for xref-find-definitions. This included arity and other things
that do not make sense for xref-find-references.

Those were added 8 years ago and it's about time they were removed.
Now that we depend on a newer Emacs release, we can also drop the
function `erlang-obsolete`.

This commit removes some compatibility for old GNU Emacs releases
and XEmacs. erlang-mode didn't really work on them for a while now,
so this is just a cleanup, nothing actually changes.
It's part of the ongoing effort to clean up and modernize the codebase
of erlang-mode.

Only the xref front-end introduced in Emacs 25 consider arity. It is
not implemented for older emacsen.
Look for manual page files in lib/erlang/man in erlang-root-dir. Also
do not give up in erlang-man-module when not finding the manual page
file. Call manual-entry as a fallback.
Do not bother to populate menu-bar with man pages when menu-bar-mode
is nil.
Add erlang extensions also to dired-omit-extensions.
Remove some support for Emacs 18 and 19.
