kilo_byte() -> is kilo_byte/0 not kilo_byte/1
|

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.

* sverk/nif-inspect-copy-bug/OTP-9828:
erts: Fix bug with enif_make_copy reallocating writable binary
Conflicts:
erts/emulator/test/nif_SUITE.erl
|
|
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.

* essen/remove-pg:
Remove the pg module and related documentation
OTP-11907
|
|
|
|
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and has largely been superseded by the pg2 module from the kernel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.

* siri/doc-upgrade/OTP-11717:
Add documentation about upgrade
Add info about upgrade of core applications
|
|
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.

The build and install documentation was not complete
and needed some restructuring.
|

Non-Windows binaries are not released any longer. Instructions are hence removed.

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
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
