2011-10-24otp: Update profiling doc with eprofBjörn-Egil Dahlberg

* cf/supervisor_shutdown_infinity: Add a warning to docs about workers' shutdown strategy Allow an infinite timeout to shutdown worker processes OTP-9648
2011-10-13Allow noncharacter code points in unicode encoding and decodingBjörn Gustavsson
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.

2011-10-10Allow an infinite timeout to shutdown worker processesChristopher Faulet
Now, in child specification, the shutdown value can also be set to infinity for worker children. This restriction was removed because this is not always possible to predict the shutdown time for a worker. This is highly application-dependent.

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.

The latest additions to the extension of Erlang used for describing types and specifications have been documented. There are new compiler attributes such as -opaque and -export_all as well as an alternative syntax for subtype constraints ('::' instead of is_subtype/2).
2010-09-07Documentation: Remove the system/doc/Books directoryBjörn Gustavsson
Building of books is probably severerly broken by now, and there are no plans to print any more books, so there is no reason to keep the directory.

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.
