2019-06-24The map() type is an alias; not a predefined typeKostis Sagonas
This pull request corrects an historical accident. At some point in time, the set of Erlang terms was extended to include maps, and at that time the `map()' type was also introduced to the language as an easy, albeit quite coarse, way to declare map terms. At some later point in time, the type language was extended with the ability to declare _type associations_ in maps and also with a notation to declare mandatory (:=) and optional (=>) type associations. At that point in time, it should have been realized that the `map()' type is nothing more than an alias (for `#{any() => any()}') instead of being a _predefined_ type. (The situation is analogous to e.g. the `binary()' type being just an alias for `<<_:_*8>>'.) This pull request corrects the documentation (the reference manual).

2018-10-29Optimize operator '--' and yield on large inputsJohn Högberg
The removal set now uses a red-black tree instead of an array on large inputs, decreasing runtime complexity from `n*n` to `n*log(n)`. It will also exit early when there are no more items left in the removal set, drastically improving performance and memory use when the items to be removed are present near the head of the list. This got a lot more complicated than before as the overhead of always using a red-black tree was unacceptable when either of the inputs were small, but this compromise has okay-to-decent performance regardless of input size.

2018-09-28Rewrite BSM optimizations in the new SSA-based intermediate formatJohn Högberg
This commit improves the bit-syntax match optimization pass, leveraging the new SSA intermediate format to perform much more aggressive optimizations. Some highlights: * Watch contexts can be reused even after being passed to a function or being used in a try block. * Sub-binaries are no longer eagerly extracted, making it far easier to keep "happy paths" free from binary creation. * Trivial wrapper functions no longer disable context reuse.

2018-09-07[supervisor] Add warning about race conditionSiri Hansen
ERL-724: "During a 'gentle' shutdown, supervisors unlink from their children before sending shutdown signals to them. This can lead to a race condition in supervision trees, when the timeout for gentle shutdown of a parent supervisor expires and it kills a child supervisor that has just unlinked from a child of its own, leaving the child supervisor's own child still running after its supervisor is killed." This commit adds a warning about this in the documentation.
