While at it, added some types to a record
and did some cleanups suggested by tidier.

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.

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.

* 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.

* pan/otp_8577_re_pattern_doc:
Add documentation of what part of a re mp() can be used for guard tests
OTP-8577 Document re_pattern properties
Some properties of a compiled re pattern are defined to allow for guard
tests.

* pan/otp_8611_standard_io:
Teach file:write/read/read_line about named io_servers
OTP-8611 file:write,read and read_line on named io_device()
The file module's functions write,read and read_line now handles named
io_servers like 'standard_io' and 'standard_error' correctly.

* pan/otp_3626_win_find_executable:
Teach os.erl to find executable names with extension (i.e. .exe) on windows
OTP-3626 os:find_executable bug on Windows
os:find_executable can now be fed with the complete name of the executable
on Windows and still find it. I.e os:find_executable("werl.exe") will work
as os:find_executable("werl").

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.

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.

Import directives still not sorted out!

Expressions evaluating to integers can now be used in types and function
specifications where hitherto only integers were allowed
("Erlang_Integer").

* 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.

* bg/compiler:
beam_peep: Remove optimization already done by beam_dead
beam_dead: Combine is_eq_exact instructions into select_val instructions
Evaluate is_record/3 at compile-time using type information
Evaluate element/2 at compile-time using type information
erl_expand_records: Replace is_record() with matching
OTP-8668 bg/compiler
The compiler optimizes record operations better.
|
|
* am/net_kernel_catchall:
Add catch all handle_call to net_kernel
|
|
|
|
Combine a sequence of chained is_eq_exact instructions into
a select_val instruction.
|
|
|
|
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.
|

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.)

* rn/resolver-leaking-ports:
Resolver: make inet_dns decode ugly truncated reply
Resolver: stop inet_res leaking ports
OTP-8652 inet_res leaking ports
The kernel DNS resolver was leaking one or two ports if the DNS reply could
not be parsed or if the resolver(s) caused noconnection type errors. Bug
now fixed. A DNS specification borderline truncated reply triggering the
port leakage bug has also been fixed.

Of the core networking apps only net_kernel fails to have a catchall
for unknown gen_server:call messages causing it to exit and eventually
bring down kernal_sup and beam if it had not been manually started.
For stability and consistancy it has been altered to include a
catchall which does not reply.

* dgud/emacs-catch-improvements:
Improved indentation of old catch.
Added more type highlighting and fixed record indentation with types.
