2011-11-09Fix "OK" spelling in debugger messages and variablesRicardo Catalinas Jiménez
Simple code refactor in the debugger: renames all the occurrences of "Ok" to "OK" in the code, variable names and strings. This improves the consistency of the code and follows the GTK UI where "OK" is always used.
2011-11-09Fix debugger message with wxRicardo Catalinas Jiménez
Add missing spaces when using wx UI. The gs UI didn't need them. Change the exclamation of the message by a dot, more formal style for a UI message.

2011-11-07sys_pre_expand: Remove incorrect commentBjörn Gustavsson
sys_pre_expand does not keep track of used or new variables (and have not done since about the time Core Erlang was introduced).
2011-11-07compiler: Eliminate use of deprecated erlang:hash/2Björn Gustavsson
Now that beam_asm computes the Index and Uniq values for funs, there is no need to compute those values in the sys_pre_expand and v3_kernel modules, thus eliminating the calls to the deprecated erlang:hash/2 function. It would be tempting to stop generating the name for the fun in sys_pre_expand so that we did not have to add the Info field to a tuple. But: * The debugger depends on the name being there. (Simple solution: Let the debugger generate the name itself.) * When a fun has been inlined into another function, the fun name in 'id' annotation will be used to notice the inlining and change the final clause of the top-level case from generating a 'function_clause' exception to a case_clause exception. (Possible workaround: Have the inliner set an inlined attribute on functions that have been inlined, or have the inliner rewrite 'function_clause' exceptions itself.)
2011-11-07beam_asm: Fix broken NewIndex in fun entriesBjörn Gustavsson
The calculation of the NewIndex field in fun entries is broken: the sys_pre_expand and v3_kernel modules keep separate index counters starting at zero; thus there is no guarantee that each fun within a module will have its own unique NewIndex. We don't really need the NewIndex any more (see below), but since we do need the NewUniq field, we should fix NewIndex for cleanliness sake. The simplest way is to assign NewIndex as late as possible, namely in beam_asm, and to set it to the same value as Index. Historical Note: Why NewIndex Was Introduced There was once an idea that the debugger should be able to interpret only a single function in a module (for speed). To make sure that interpreted funs could be called from BEAM code and vice versa, the fun identification must be visible in the abstract code. Therefore a NewIndex field was introduced in each fun in the abstract code. However, it turned out that interpreting single functions does not play well with aggressive code optimization. For example, in this code: f() -> X = 1, fun() -> X+2 end. the variable X will seem to be free in the fun, but an aggressive optimizer will replace X with 1 in the fun; thus the fun will no longer have any free variables. Therefore, the debugger will always interpret entire modules.
2011-11-07beam_asm: Strenghten the calculation of Uniq for funsBjörn Gustavsson
Funs are identified by a triple, <Module,Uniq,Index>, where Module is the module name, Uniq is a 27 bit hash value of some intermediate representation of the code for the fun, and index is a small integer. When a fun is loaded, the triple for the fun will be compared to previously loaded funs. If all elements in the triple in the newly loaded fun are the same, the newly loaded fun will replace the previous fun. The idea is that if Uniq are the same, the code for the fun is also the same. The problem is that Uniq is only based on the intermediate representation of the fun itself. If the fun calls local functions in the same module, Uniq may remain the same even if the behavior of the fun has been changed. See http://erlang.org/pipermail/erlang-bugs/2007-June/000368.htlm for an example. As a long-term plan to fix this problem, the NewIndex and NewUniq fields was added to each fun in the R8 release (where NewUniq is the MD5 of the BEAM code for the module). Unfortunately, it turns out that the compiler does not assign unique value to NewIndex (if it isn't tested, it doesn't work), so we cannot use the <Module,NewUniq,NewIndex> triple as identification. It would be possible to use <Module,NewUniq,Index>, but that seems ugly. Therefore, fix the problem by making Uniq more unique by taking 27 bits from the MD5 for the BEAM code. That only requires a change to the compiler. Also update a test case for cover, which now fails because of the stronger Uniq calculation. (The comment in test case about why the Pid2 process survived is not correct.)
2011-11-07EEP-23: Allow variables in fun M:F/ABjörn Gustavsson
Currently, the external fun syntax "fun M:F/A" only supports literals. That is, "fun lists:reverse/1" is allowed but not "fun M:F/A". In many real-life situations, some or all of M, F, A are not known until run-time, and one is forced to either use the undocumented erlang:make_fun/3 BIF or to use a "tuple fun" (which is deprecated). EEP-23 suggests that the parser (erl_parse) should immediately transform "fun M:F/A" to "erlang:make_fun(M, F, A)". We have not followed that approach in this implementation, because we want the abstract code to mirror the source code as closely as possible, and we also consider erlang:make_fun/3 to be an implementation detail that we might want to remove in the future. Instead, we will change the abstract format for "fun M:F/A" (in a way that is not backwards compatible), and while we are at it, we will move the translation from "fun M:F/A" to "erlang:make_fun(M, F, A)" from sys_pre_expand down to the v3_core pass. We will also update the debugger and xref to use the new format. We did consider making the abstract format backward compatible if no variables were used in the fun, but decided against it. Keeping it backward compatible would mean that there would be different abstract formats for the no-variable and variable case, and tools would have to handle both formats, probably forever.

2011-11-02Test calling a parameterized module within a funBjörn Gustavsson
It is tempting to transform code such as: fun(X) -> M:foo(X) end to: fun M:foo/1 Unfortunately, that transformation is not safe if M happens to be a parameterized module. Add a test case so that we don't attempt to do such an optimization in the future.

2011-10-27Close ip_to_file trace port in ttb:stopSiri Hansen
This is a relay port opened from the IP trace client when tracing diskless nodes. The port was not closed properly in ttb:stop, which caused problems on windows since the file could not be moved to the upload directory before the file descriptor was closed.
2011-10-27Adjust ttb_SUITE to work better on windowsSiri Hansen
There is a problem with long paths on windows, which causes some of the ttb logs in this suite not to be created. To go around this, the original priv_dir from the Config is no longer used for writing the logs. Instead a new priv_dir is created in the data_dir - which makes the path much shorter. There is also a problem caused by the lower resolution of the system clock on windows. It makes the test cases for sorting trace messages fail. To get around this a sleep of 2 ms is added in "appropriate places", and also the messages sent between client and server when creating the trace log for these test cases is now better synched. The cleanup functions, which terminate slave nodes, was called in end_per_testcase. However, it seems to be a bug in the test_server which causes this to hang if the test case failed with a timetrap_timeout. Workaround for this is to do the cleanup in init_per_testcase instead - i.e. make sure that nodes that are to be started by the test case do not already live when the test case starts.
2011-10-27Cleanup after testcases in ttb_SUITESiri Hansen
Slave nodes were earlier stopped inside each test case. If a test case failed before this point, a slave node would survive and it might interfere with the next test case causing multiple failures. This commit moves the stopping of slave nodes out to a separate function for each test case - called during end_per_testcase. A minor correction is also done in ttb:ensure_no_overloaded_nodes - the reply message sent back from the ttb process is tagged so only the expected message will be picked from the message queue. Otherwise, for instance nodedown messages from the monitoring of slave nodes (by the test cases) could be received here. Finally, the sleep timer when waiting for trace messages to arrive over tcp/ip is extended a bit since test cases sometimes failed with missing trace messages here.

2011-10-24fix handling of block_decipher/5 failureAndreas Schultz
A wrong decryption key would cause a badmatch in generic_block_cipher_from_bin/2. The try in block_decipher/5 was probably intendend to deal with that, but was misplace for this. Additionaly, generating a failure alert erly, without computing the record MAC, creates vector for a timing attack on CBC padding (for details check TLS 1.2 RFC 5246, Sect. 6.2.3.2.). This attach vector and the counter meassure applies to all SSL/TLS versions. As a counter messure, compute the MAC even when decryption or padding checks fail. A invalid padding will force a MAC failure by intentionaly invalidating the content.

2011-10-21Flush trace file driver before stopping dbgSiri Hansen
Earlier dbg:stop only did erlang:trace_delivered and did not flush the trace file driver. Therefore there could still be trace messages that were delivered to the driver (guaranteed by erlang:trace_delivered) but not yet written to the file. This commit adds this flushing on each node before the dbg process terminates.
