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.

* bjorn/remove-books: Documentation: Remove the system/doc/Books directory
2010-09-07Update the Types and Function Specifications chapter in the Reference Manual.Hans Bolinder
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.

2010-06-02Return nowarn_bif_clash functionality but with warningPatrik Nyblom
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.

environment after a number of bugs are fixed and some features are added in the documentation build process. - The arity calculation is updated. - The module prefix used in the function names for bif's are removed in the generated links so the links will look like "http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/erlang.html#append_element-2" instead of "http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/erlang.html#erlang:append_element- 2". - Enhanced the menu positioning in the html documentation when a new page is loaded. - A number of corrections in the generation of man pages (thanks to Sergei Golovan) - The legal notice is taken from the xml book file so OTP's build process can be used for non OTP applications.
