2017-04-27stdlib: Improve the Erlang shell's handling of referencesHans Bolinder
As of Erlang/OTP 20.0, the type of ETS tables, ets:tid(), is a reference(). A request was put forward that the Erlang shell should be able to handle references in its input. This commit introduces an extended parser in module lib. It can parse pids, ports, references, and external funs under the condition that they can be created in the running system. The parser is meant to be used internally in Erlang/OTP. The alternative, to extend erl_scan and erl_parse, was deemed inferior as it would require the abstract format be able to represent pids, ports, references, and funs, which would be confusing as they are not expressions as such, but data types.

I don't see why this should point to process_flag/2. Let's make it not do that.

2016-12-20erts: Correct memory footprint for mapsSverker Eriksson
Small map was wrong as we should include our own top Eterm and exclude them for keys and values. Large maps was wrong as it described the theoretical minimum of a full tree, which does not happen in reality.
