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.

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.

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This module has been marked experimental for more than 15 years, and has largely been superseded by the pg2 module from the kernel application.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.

2014-04-03Add documentation about upgradeSiri Hansen
The example of how to create a first target system, which is located in the System Principles document, is now extended to also include an example of code upgrade. A new chapter is added to System Principles explaining different issues when upgrade includes new versions applications within Erlang/OTP.

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.

* vinoski/sys-get-rep-state2: remove tuple funs from special process documentation fix sys:get_state/1,2 and sys:replace_state/2,3 when sys suspended OTP-11817
2014-03-21remove tuple funs from special process documentationSteve Vinoski
Support for tuple funs was removed in R16B but the documentation for special processes, sys, and proc_lib in the OTP Design Principles still showed examples using them, and those examples no longer worked. Fix the examples to use regular functions instead and fix the documentation to reflect the changes.
2014-03-21fix sys:get_state/1,2 and sys:replace_state/2,3 when sys suspendedSteve Vinoski
Add two new system callbacks Module:system_get_state/1 and Module:system_replace_state/2 to allow sys:get_state/1,2 and sys:replace_state/2,3 to operate correctly even if a process is sys suspended. Modify gen_server, gen_fsm, and gen_event to support the new callbacks. If a callback module does not export these functions, then by default the Misc value (the same as that passed as the final argument to sys:handle_system_msg/6, and returned as part of the return value of sys:get_status/1,2) is treated as the callback module's state. The previous behaviour of intercepting the system message and passing a tuple of size 2 as the last argument to sys:handle_system_msg/6 is no longer supported. Add tests to verify the correctness of sys:get_state/1,2 and sys:replace_state/2,3 when processes are sys suspended. Add two tests for modules that implement special processes, one that exports system_get_state/1 and system_replace_state/2 and one that doesn't. Much of the credit for this patch goes to James Fish, who reported the initial problem and implemented much of the fix.
