In the HTML version of the doc those spaces are necessary to separate

The module is not added in a function call inside a macro.

Currently, the external fun syntax "fun M:F/A" only supports
literals. That is, "fun lists:reverse/1" is allowed but not
"fun M:F/A".
In many real-life situations, some or all of M, F, A are
not known until run-time, and one is forced to either use
the undocumented erlang:make_fun/3 BIF or to use a
"tuple fun" (which is deprecated).
EEP-23 suggests that the parser (erl_parse) should immediately
transform "fun M:F/A" to "erlang:make_fun(M, F, A)". We have
not followed that approach in this implementation, because we
want the abstract code to mirror the source code as closely
as possible, and we also consider erlang:make_fun/3 to
be an implementation detail that we might want to remove in
the future.
Instead, we will change the abstract format for "fun M:F/A" (in a way
that is not backwards compatible), and while we are at it, we will
move the translation from "fun M:F/A" to "erlang:make_fun(M, F, A)"
from sys_pre_expand down to the v3_core pass. We will also update
the debugger and xref to use the new format.
We did consider making the abstract format backward compatible if
no variables were used in the fun, but decided against it. Keeping
it backward compatible would mean that there would be different
abstract formats for the no-variable and variable case, and tools
would have to handle both formats, probably forever.

The two noncharacter code points 16#FFFE and 16#FFFF were not
allowed to be encoded or decoded using the unicode module or
bit syntax. That causes an inconsistency, since the noncharacters
16#FDD0 to 16#FDEF could be encoded/decoded.
There is two ways to fix that inconsistency.
We have chosen to allow 16#FFFE and 16#FFFF to be encoded and
decoded, because the noncharacters could be useful internally
within an application and it will make encoding and decoding
slightly faster.

Now, in child specification, the shutdown value can also be set to infinity
for worker children. This restriction was removed because this is not always
possible to predict the shutdown time for a worker. This is highly
application-dependent.

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
|
|
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).
|
|
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.
