Also move check of non-atom states in callback mode state_functions to where the state function is called. This gives homogenous diagnostics for state functions, code_change/4 and system_replace_state StateFun. Irregularities pointed out by James Fish.

* siri/sasl/delete_module/OTP-11540: [sasl] Remove undocumented upgrade instruction
2014-11-06Add documentation of maps in supervisor flags and child specsSiri Hansen
2014-10-20[sasl] Remove undocumented upgrade instructionSiri Hansen
The upgrade instruction 'remove_module' was added in OTP R7B (and possibly in a patch in R5B or R6B, ticket OTP-3477), and translates to the low level instruction 'remove', but adds the parameter DepMods (modules on which Mod is dependent). The ticket says that "remove_module should be added for symmetry with the add_module instruction". remove_module was never documented or tested, and it was never mentioned in a release note. It therefore seems to be low risk in removing it. The correct instruction to use when removing a module is {delete_module,Mod} which was added in OTP R10B and which is also documented and tested. This translates to low level instructions 'remove' and 'purge' i.e. the module is brutally purged after setting the current code to old. This hardcoded brutal purge is the reason why PrePurge and PostPurge parameters can not be given with the delete_module instruction. The parameter DepMods which was inclued in the remove_module instruction does not exist for delete_module. From the documentation's point of view, this is the same for add_module, and thus the two instructions {add_module,Mod} and {delete_module,Mod} are now symmetric. However, in the code there is a second instruction for adding a module, {add_module,Mod,DepMods}, which is not documented. To add symmetry even for this, {delete_module,Mod,DepMods} is now also added. Documentation is added for all instructions.

* essen/remove-pg: Remove the pg module and related documentation OTP-11907
2014-04-28Introduce the attribute -optional_callbacks in the context of behavioursHans Bolinder
2014-04-26Remove the pg module and related documentationLoïc Hoguin
This module has been marked experimental for more than 15 years, and has largely been superseded by the pg2 module from the kernel application. The original pg also has no tests and has not been updated in the last 15 years other than small maintenance edits (like adding specs or replacing pid/1 by is_pid/1). It is pretty unlikely that anyone uses it today and its presence is simply confusing as people should be using pg2 anyway.
2014-04-03Merge branch 'siri/doc-upgrade/OTP-11717'Siri Hansen
* siri/doc-upgrade/OTP-11717: Add documentation about upgrade Add info about upgrade of core applications
2014-04-02Add link to app resource file referenceMagnus Lidén
2014-03-28Add info about upgrade of core applicationsSiri Hansen
In ref man for appup and in system documentation, design prinsiples, add a warning related to upgrade when version of erts, kernel, stdlib or sasl is changed. This will cause an emulator restart where new version of emulator and core applications will startup together with old versions of other applications. Care must be taken to avoid problems due to backwards incompatibility.
