2014-09-03erts: Fix bug with enif_make_copy reallocating writable binarySverker Eriksson
that could invalidate a pointer received from an earlier call to enif_inspect_binary. Solution: Emasculate writable binary at enif_inspect_binary. There are room for optimizations here as we now do an unconditional emasculation even though enif_make_copy is not called later in the NIF.

2011-01-18Lower the maximum arity from 256 to 255Björn Gustavsson
Historically, for no good reason, a function is allowed to have from 0 to 256 arguments. Thus, the number of arguments *almost* fits into a byte. HiPE only supports up to 255 arguments (because it assumes that the function arity fits into a single byte), and fixing that limitation would require ugly special-case handling. In Dialyzer, the arity type is defined to be a byte (i.e. 0..255). Since no-one uses functions with 256 arguments anyway, lower the limit to 255.
