The expression in a bit string comprehension is limited to a
literal bit string expression. That is, the following code
is legal:
<< <<X>> || X <- List >>
but not this code:
<< foo(X) || X <- List >>
The limitation is annoying. For one thing, tools that transform
the abstract format must be careful not to produce code such as:
<< begin
%% Some instrumentation code.
<<X>>
end || X <- List >>
One reason for the limitation could be that we'll get
reduce/reduce conflicts if we try to allow an arbitrary
expression in a bit string comprehension:
binary_comprehension -> '<<' expr '||' lc_exprs '>>' :
{bc,?anno('$1'),'$2','$4'}.
Unfortunately, there does not seem to be an easy way to work
around that problem. The best we can do is to allow 'expr_max'
expressions (as in the binary syntax):
binary_comprehension -> '<<' expr_max '||' lc_exprs '>>' :
{bc,?anno('$1'),'$2','$4'}.
That will work, but functions calls must be enclosed in
parentheses:
<< (foo(X)) || X <- List >>

For a long time, users have asked for one or more macros that would
return the name and arity of the current function.
We could define a single ?FUNCTION macro that would return
a {Name,Arity} tuple. However, to access just the name or
just the arity for the function, element/2 must be used.
That would limit its usefulness, because element/2 is not
allowed in all contexts.
Therefore, it seems that we will need two macros.
?FUNCTION_NAME that expands to the name of the current function
and ?FUNCTION_ARITY that expands to arity of the current
function.
Converting the function name to a string can be done like this:
f() ->
atom_to_list(?FUNCTION_NAME) ++ "/" ++
integer_to_list(?FUNCTION_ARITY).
f/0 will return "f/0". The BEAM compiler will evaluate the
entire expression at compile-time, so there will not be
any run-time penalty for the function calls.
The implementation is non-trivial because the preprocessor is
run before the parser.
One way to implement the macros would be to replace them with some
placeholder and then let the parser or possibly a later pass replace
the placeholder with correct value. That could potentially slow
down the compiler and cause incompatibilities for parse transforms.
Another way is to let the preprocessor do the whole job. That means
that the preprocessor will have to scan the function head to find
out the name and arity. The scanning of the function head can be
delayed until the first occurrence of a ?FUNCTION_NAME or
?FUNCTION_ARITY.
I have chosen the second way because it seems less likely to cause
weird compatibility problems.

It is harder to remove is_subtype from the parser since the abstract
format does not separate is_subtype from the '::' syntax.

- at appending when allocating new binary object its size will be
double (the old size + size of data to be appended)
not just double the old size
- correct some unused byte counts

The old time API is based on erlang:now/0. The major issue with
erlang:now/0 is that it was intended to be used for so many
unrelated things. This tied these unrelated operations together
and unnecessarily caused performance, scalability as well as
accuracy, and precision issues for operations that do not need
to have such issues. The new API spreads different functionality
over multiple functions in order to improve on this.
The new API consists of a number of new BIFs:
- erlang:convert_time_unit/3
- erlang:monotonic_time/0
- erlang:monotonic_time/1
- erlang:system_time/0
- erlang:system_time/1
- erlang:time_offset/0
- erlang:time_offset/1
- erlang:timestamp/0
- erlang:unique_integer/0
- erlang:unique_integer/1
- os:system_time/0
- os:system_time/1
and a number of extensions of existing BIFs:
- erlang:monitor(time_offset, clock_service)
- erlang:system_flag(time_offset, finalize)
- erlang:system_info(os_monotonic_time_source)
- erlang:system_info(time_offset)
- erlang:system_info(time_warp_mode)
- erlang:system_info(time_correction)
- erlang:system_info(start_time)

ERTS User's Guide for more information.
