Tuple funs were deprecated in R15B (in commit a4029940e309518f5500).
|

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.

The two noncharacter code points 16#FFFE and 16#FFFF were not
allowed to be encoded or decoded using the unicode module or
bit syntax. That causes an inconsistency, since the noncharacters
16#FDD0 to 16#FDEF could be encoded/decoded.
There is two ways to fix that inconsistency.
We have chosen to allow 16#FFFE and 16#FFFF to be encoded and
decoded, because the noncharacters could be useful internally
within an application and it will make encoding and decoding
slightly faster.

"Its" is a possessive pronoun, "it's" is a contraction of
"it is".

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.

is_boolean/1 was introduced in R10B, so this is a little
bit late...
