This document describes the changes made to the ERTS application.

-
Erts 10.0 - -
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions - - -

- The type specifications for file:posix/0 and - inet:posix/0 have been updated according to which - errors file and socket operations should be able to - return.

-

- Own Id: OTP-14019 Aux Id: ERL-550

- - -

- Fix error printout from run_erl and a bug that could - cause unintended fds to be leaked into the started - program.

-

- Own Id: OTP-14537 Aux Id: PR1529

- - -

File operations used to accept filenames - containing null characters (integer value zero). This - caused the name to be truncated and in some cases - arguments to primitive operations to be mixed up. - Filenames containing null characters inside the filename - are now rejected and will cause primitive file - operations to fail.

Also environment variable - operations used to accept names and - values of - environment variables containing null characters (integer - value zero). This caused operations to silently produce - erroneous results. Environment variable names and values - containing null characters inside the name or value are - now rejected and will cause environment variable - operations to fail.

Primitive environment - variable operations also used to accept the $= - character in environment variable names causing various - problems. $= characters in environment variable - names are now also rejected.

Also - os:cmd/1 now - reject null characters inside its command. -

erlang:open_port/2 - will also reject null characters inside the port name - from now on.

- Fix bugs related to the bookkeeping of microstate - accounting states.

-

- Own Id: OTP-14652

- - -

os:putenv and os:getenv no longer access - the process environment directly and instead work on a - thread-safe emulation. The only observable difference is - that it's not kept in sync with libc - getenv(3) / putenv(3), so those who relied - on that behavior in drivers or NIFs will need to add - manual synchronization.

On Windows this means that - you can no longer resolve DLL dependencies by modifying - the PATH just before loading the driver/NIF. To - make this less of a problem, the emulator now adds the - target DLL's folder to the DLL search path.

Fixed a bug where the PATH environment variable wasn't - updated correctly on a release downgrade, effectively - keeping the PATH of the new release.

-

- - -

A receive optimization that avoids scanning the entire - message queue when receiving a message containing a - freshly created reference could in rare circumstances - (involving recursive calls to the functions that does the - receive) cause the receive to hang. This has been - corrected.

Improvements and New Features - - -

It is now possible to open device files and FIFOs with - file:open/2.

-

- Own Id: OTP-11462

- - -

- The erlang:system_flag(scheduler_wall_time,Bool) call is - now reference counted and will be turned off if the - (last) process that started the performance statistics - dies. Thus it is no longer possible to start the - statistics with rpc:call(Node, erlang, system_flag, - [scheduler_wall_time, true]) since it will be turned off - directly afterwards when the rpc process dies.

-

- *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

-

- Own Id: OTP-11694

- - -

- A new logging API is added to OTP. This is implemented in - the Kernel application, module logger.

-

- Legacy calls to error_logger will be automatically - redirected to the new API.

-

- See the reference manual for module logger, and the - User's Guide for the Kernel application for more - information.

-

- Own Id: OTP-13295

- - -

- gen_sctp:connect_init/4 or rather connect in - inet_drv.c for SCTP has been fixed to not check - the write file descriptor for writeability after a - connect, since for SCTP (SOCK_SEQPACKET) that property - does not seem to be any kind of indicator for when a - connect has finished. This fixes connects that the OS - returned as "in progress" that was misinterpreted by - gen_sctp:connect_init as failed.

-

- Own Id: OTP-13760 Aux Id: PR-1592

- - -

The file driver has been rewritten as a NIF, - decreasing the latency of file operations. Two notable - incompatibilities are:

The - use_threads option for file:sendfile/5 no - longer has any effect; we either use non-blocking - sendfile(2) or fall back to file:read + - gen_tcp:send.

The - file-specific DTrace probes have been removed. The same - effect can be achieved with normal tracing together with - the nif__entry/nif__return probes to track - scheduling.

 -

- *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

-

- Own Id: OTP-14256

- - -

The I/O polling functionality of erts has been - re-written to better make use of the OSs polling - mechanisms. This change means that erts will now always - prefer to use a kernel-polling mechanism if possible. - Also all of the I/O polling has been moved to dedicated - threads instead of being placed in the scheduler - loops.

As a result of this, the erl options - +K and +secio have been removed. It is - still possible to disable kernel-poll, but it has to be - done at compile time through the configure option - --disable-kernel-poll.

The new erl - options +IOt - and +IOp can - be used to change how many IO poll threads and poll sets - that erts should use. See their respective documentation - for more details.

- - -

Truly asynchronous auto-connect. Earlier, when - erlang:send was done toward an unconnected node, - the function would not return until the connection setup - had completed (or failed). Now the function returns - directly after the signal has been enqueued and the - connection setup started.

-

The same applies to all distributed operations that - may trigger auto-connect, i.e. '!', send, - link, monitor, monitor_node, - exit/2 and group_leader.

-

The interface for all these functions are unchanged as - they do not return connection failures. The only - exception is erlang:monitor where a possible - incompatibility is introduced: An attempt to monitor - a process on a primitive node (such as erl_interface or - jinterface), where remote process monitoring is not - implemented, will no longer fail with badarg - exception. Instead a monitor will be created, but it will - only supervise the connection to the node.

- - -

Changed the default behaviour of .erlang - loading: .erlang is no longer loaded from the - current directory. c:erlangrc(PathList) can be - used to search and load an .erlang file from user - specified directories.

escript, - erlc, dialyzer and typer no longer - load an .erlang at all.

- - -

- New functionality for implementation of alternative - carriers for the Erlang distribution has been introduced. - This mainly consists of support for usage of distribution - controller processes (previously only ports could be used - as distribution controllers). For more information see - ERTS - User's Guide ➜ How to implement an Alternative Carrier - for the Erlang Distribution ➜ Distribution - Module.

-

- - -

- Add support for the lcc compiler and in extension the - Elbrus 2000 platform.

-

- Own Id: OTP-14492

- - -

Support for "tuple calls" have been removed from the - run-time system. Tuple calls was an undocumented and - unsupported feature which allowed the module argument for - an apply operation to be a tuple: Var = dict:new(), - Var:size(). This "feature" frequently caused - confuses, especially when such call failed. The - stacktrace would point out functions that don't exist in - the source code.

-

For legacy code that need to use parameterized modules - or tuple calls for some other reason, there is a new - compiler option called tuple_calls. When this - option is given, the compiler will generate extra code - that emulates the old behavior for calls where the module - is a variable.

-

- *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

- - -

Creation of small maps with literal keys has been - optimized to be faster and potentially use less memory . - The keys are combined into a literal key tuple which is - put into the literal pool. The key tuple can be shared - between many instances of maps having the same keys.

-

- Own Id: OTP-14502

- - -

- When an exception is thrown, include the arguments of the - call in the stacktrace for BIFs band, bor, - bsl, bsr, bxor, div, - rem and the operators +, -, * - and /.

-

- *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

-

- Own Id: OTP-14508

- - -

- The non-smp emulators have been removed. This means that - the configure options --disable-threads and - --enable-plain-emulator have been removed and - configure will now refuse to build Erlang/OTP on - platforms without thread support.

-

- In order to achieve a similar setup as the non-smp - emulator, it is possible to start Erlang/OTP with the - +S 1 option.

Modules that use floating point constants compiled - with R15 or earlier will need to be re-compiled before - they can be loaded.

-

- Own Id: OTP-14575

- - -

- Implementation of true asynchronous signaling between - processes in order to improve scalability. Signals - affected include exit, monitor, demonitor, monitor - triggered, link, unlink, and group leader.

-

- Own Id: OTP-14589

- - -

- Added a PGO (profile guided optimization) pass to the - build step of erts. This can be disabled by passing - --disable-pgo to configure.

- Own Id: OTP-14613

- - -

Loaded BEAM code in a 64-bit system requires less - memory because of better packing of operands for - instructions.

-

These memory savings were achieved by major - improvements to the beam_makeops scripts used when - building the run time system and BEAM compiler. There is - also new for documentation for beam_makeops that - describes how new BEAM instructions and loader - transformations can be implemented. The documentation is - found in here in a source directory or git repository: - erts/emulator/internal_doc/beam_makeops.md. An online - version can be found here: - https://github.com/erlang/otp/blob/master/erts/emulator/internal_doc/beam_makeops.md

-

- Own Id: OTP-14626

- - -

file:read_file has been changed to read the - content of files that report a size of 0 even when data - can be read from them. An example of such a file is - /proc/cpuinfo on Linux.

-

- Own Id: OTP-14637 Aux Id: ERL-327 PR-1524

- - -

- It is no longer possible to disable the temp_alloc - allocator. Disabling it caused serious performance - degradations and was never what was wanted.

-

- Own Id: OTP-14651

- - -

The reduction cost of sending messages is now - constant. It will no longer scale according to the length - of the receiving process' message queue.

-

- Own Id: OTP-14667

- - -

- Improved loading of modules with -on_load - directive, to no longer block all schedulers when the - load operation is completed.

-

- Own Id: OTP-14680

- - -

- On platforms with real-time signals available, SIGRTMIN+1 - is now used as the internal scheduler suspend signal - instead of SIGUSR2.

-

- Own Id: OTP-14682

- - -

When the value returned from a 'catch' - expression is ignored, no stacktrace will be built if an - exception is caught. That will save time and produce less - garbage. There are also some minor optimizations of - 'try/catch' both in the compiler and - run-time system.

-

- Own Id: OTP-14683

- - -

The guarantees and non-guarantees of - erlang:get_stacktrace/0 are now documented.

-

- Own Id: OTP-14687

- - -

There is a new syntax in 'try/catch' for - retrieving the stacktrace without calling - 'erlang:get_stacktrace/0'. See the reference - manual for a description of the new syntax. The - 'erlang:get_stacktrace/0' BIF is now - deprecated.

-

- Own Id: OTP-14692

- - -

- New 'used' option for binary_to_term/2 that will - also return number of bytes actually read from the - binary. This enables easy access to any extra data in the - binary located directly after the returned term.

-

- Own Id: OTP-14780

- - -

- Added more statistics for - erlang:system_info({allocator,A}) in the - mbcs_pool section.

-

- Own Id: OTP-14795 Aux Id: ERL-88

- - -

Added enif_ioq_peek_head to allow retrieving - Erlang terms from NIF IO queues without having to resort - to copying.

-

- Own Id: OTP-14797

- - -

There is a new option 'makedep_side_effect' for - the compiler and -MMD for 'erlc' that - generates dependencies and continues to compile as - normal.

-

- Own Id: OTP-14830

- - -

Added ets:whereis/1 for retrieving the table - identifier of a named table.

-

- Own Id: OTP-14884

- - -

seq_trace labels may now be any erlang - term.

-

- Own Id: OTP-14899

- - -

- Optimized the common case of monitor followed by - send to the same local process. The monitor signal - is now delayed in order to be piggybacked with the sent - message and thereby only get one lock operation on the - message queue of the receiver. A delayed monitor signal - is flushed if no send has been done at the latest - when the process is scheduled out.

-

- Own Id: OTP-14901

- - -

- Make hipe compiled code work on x86_64 (amd64) with OS - security feature PIE, where executable code can be loaded - into a random location. Old behavior, if hipe was - enabled, was to disable PIE build options for the VM.

-

- Own Id: OTP-14903

- - -

The number of driver async threads will now default to - 1 as the standard drivers do not use them anymore. Users - that changed this value to tweak the file driver should - replace +A with +SDio since it now uses - dirty IO schedulers instead of async threads.

-

- *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

-

- Optimize == and /= for binaries with - different sizes to be constant in time instead of - proportional to the size of their common prefix.

-

- - -

- Refactorings making some internal process flags available - for other usage.

-

- Own Id: OTP-14948

- - -

- Removed need for HiPE to allocate native executable - memory in low 2GB address space on x86_64. Command line - option +MXscs is thereby obsolete and ignored.

-

- Own Id: OTP-14951

- - -

Added enif_make_map_from_arrays for creating a - populated map, analogous to - enif_make_list_from_array.

-

- Own Id: OTP-14954

- - -

Added configuration switches for busy-wait and wake up - thresholds for dirty schedulers, and changing these - settings for normal schedulers will no longer affect - dirty schedulers.

Refer to the documentation for - details. The new switches are +sbwtdcpu, +sbwtdio, +swtdcpu, and +swtdio.

The - default busy wait threshold for dirty scheduler threads - has also been lowered to short.

-

- Own Id: OTP-14959

- - -

- The list of "taints" now also includes dynamic loaded - drivers in addition to NIF libraries. Statically linked - drivers and NIF libraries that are part of erts are not - included. The "taints" are returned by - system_info(taints) and printed in the header of - erl_crash.dump files.

-

- Own Id: OTP-14960

- - -

Added instrument:allocations and - instrument:carriers for retrieving information - about memory utilization and fragmentation.

-

The old instrument interface has been removed, - as have the related options +Mim and - +Mis.

Added the nifs option to - ?MODULE:module_info/1 for listing a module's - installed NIF functions.

-

- Own Id: OTP-14965

- - -

- New implementation of erlang:process_info/[1,2].

-

- In the general case when inspecting another process, the - new implementation sends an asynchronous process-info - request signal to the other process and waits for the - result instead of locking the other process and reading - the result directly. In some special cases where no - conflicts occur, signal order wont be violated, and the - amount of data requested is guaranteed to be small, the - inspected process may be inspected directly.

-

- Appropriate amount of reductions are now also bumped when - inspecting a process.

-

- Own Id: OTP-14966

-

- Own Id: OTP-14994

- - -

When erlang:system_flag(backtrace_depth, 0) has - been called, all exceptions will now contain the entry - for one function (despite the zero). It used to - be that a hand-made stack backtrace passed to - erlang:raise/3 would be be truncated to an empty - list.

-

- Own Id: OTP-15026

- - -

- Fixed bug for named ets tables which could cause - unexpected results from matchspec iteration functions - (ets:select* and ets:match*) if the table - was deleted and recreated with the same name during the - iteration. The iteration could incorrectly continue - through the recreated table. The expected correct - behavior is now for the iteration call to fail with a - badarg exception if the table is deleted before - the iteration has completed.

-

- Own Id: OTP-15031

The map_get/2 guard BIF has been added. It - works the same way as maps:get/2, except that it - is allowed to use it in guards.

The documentation is - found in here in a source directory or git repository: - erts/emulator/internal_doc/beam_makeops.md. An online - version can be found here: - https://github.com/erlang/otp/blob/master/erts/emulator/internal_doc/beam_makeops.md

Size calculations for binary constructions has been - somewhat optimized, producing smaller code.

-

- Own Id: OTP-14654

- - -

When the value returned from a 'catch' - expression is ignored, no stacktrace will be built if an - exception is caught. That will save time and produce less - garbage. There are also some minor optimizations of - 'try/catch' both in the compiler and - run-time system.

-

- Own Id: OTP-14683

- - -

There is a new syntax in 'try/catch' for - retrieving the stacktrace without calling - 'erlang:get_stacktrace/0'. See the reference - manual for a description of the new syntax. The - 'erlang:get_stacktrace/0' BIF is now - deprecated.

The following is an internal change in the compiler, - that is not noticeable for normal use of the compiler: - The module v3_life has been removed. Its - functionality has been simplified and integrated into - v3_codegen.

-

- Own Id: OTP-14712

- - -

The optimization of binary matching that delays - creation of sub binaries (see the Efficiency Guide) could - be thwarted by the argument order and could be necessary - to change the argument order. The compiler has now become - smarter and can handle any argument order.

-

- Own Id: OTP-14774

- - -

When the compiler was faced with complex case - expressions it would unnecessarily allocate stack - elements and shuffle data between x and y registers. - Improved code generation to only allocate a stack frame - when strictly necessary.

-

- Own Id: OTP-14808 Aux Id: ERL-514

- - -

There is a new option 'makedep_side_effect' for - the compiler and -MMD for 'erlc' that - generates dependencies and continues to compile as - normal.

-

- Own Id: OTP-14830

- - -

When compiling modules with huge functions, the - compiler would generate a lot of atoms for its internal, - sometimes so many that the atom table would overflow. The - compiler has been rewritten to generate far less internal - atoms to avoid filling the atom table.

-

- Own Id: OTP-14968 Aux Id: ERL-563

- - -

External funs with literal values for module, name, - and arity (e.g. erlang:abs/1) are now treated as - literals. That means more efficient code that produces - less garbage on the heap.

-

- Own Id: OTP-15003

The map_get/2 guard BIF has been added. It - works the same way as maps:get/2, except that it - is allowed to use it in guards.

Improvements and New Features - - -

- An option exec for daemons implementing the 'exec' - has existed a long time but has been undocumented. The - old behaviour is kept for compatibility EXCEPT that error - messages are changed and are sent as "stderror" text.

-

- A new option value is defined to make it much more easy - to implement an own exec server.

- - -

- The type specifications in SSH are reworked and the - following types are renamed:

-

- ssh:ssh_connection_ref() is changed to - ssh:connection_ref(),

STDLIB 3.5 - -
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions - - -

When using an exception that is valid but not allowed - in a state enter call, the reason has been changed from - {bad_action_from_state_function,Action} to - {bad_state_enter_action_from_state_function,Action}. -

Timer parsing has been improved. Many erroneous - timeout tuples was not handled correctly.

The - documentation has been updated, in particular the User's - Guide and the pointer to it from the Reference Manual is - much more obvious.

-

- Own Id: OTP-14015

- - -

- The type specifications for file:posix/0 and - inet:posix/0 have been updated according to which - errors file and socket operations should be able to - return.

-

- Own Id: OTP-14019 Aux Id: ERL-550

- - -

File operations used to accept filenames - containing null characters (integer value zero). This - caused the name to be truncated and in some cases - arguments to primitive operations to be mixed up. - Filenames containing null characters inside the filename - are now rejected and will cause primitive file - operations to fail.

Also environment variable - operations used to accept names and - values of - environment variables containing null characters (integer - value zero). This caused operations to silently produce - erroneous results. Environment variable names and values - containing null characters inside the name or value are - now rejected and will cause environment variable - operations to fail.

Primitive environment - variable operations also used to accept the $= - character in environment variable names causing various - problems. $= characters in environment variable - names are now also rejected.

Also - os:cmd/1 now - reject null characters inside its command. -

erlang:open_port/2 - will also reject null characters inside the port name - from now on.

The control sequence modifiers t and l - can be used together in the same control sequence which - makes it possible to have Unicode atoms and no detection - of printable character lists at the same time.

Fix a bug in the Erlang code linter: the check of - guard expressions no longer returns false if the - map syntax is used. The bug affected the Erlang shell, - the Debugger, and other modules evaluating abstract code. -

- A sys debug fun of type {Fun,State} should not be - possible to install twice. This was, however, possible if - the current State was 'undefined', which was mistaken for - non-existing fun. This has been corrected.

-

- Own Id: OTP-15049

- - -
- - -
Improvements and New Features - - -

- The gen_server has gotten a new callback - handle_continue/2 for check pointing the state. - This is useful at least when implementing behaviours on - top of gen_server and for some start up scenarios.

The semantics of timeout parameter - {clean_timeout,infinity} to - gen_statem:call/3 has been changed to use a proxy - process for the call. With this change - clean_timeout implicates a proxy process with no - exceptions. This may be a hard to observe - incompatibility: in the presence of network problems a - late reply could arrive in the caller's message queue - when catching errors. That will not happen after this - correction.

The semantics of timeout parameter - infinity has not been changed.

- A new logging API is added to OTP. This is implemented in - the Kernel application, module logger.

- - -

Functions rand:uniform_real/0 and - rand:uniform_real_s/1 have been added. They - produce uniformly distributed numbers in the range 0.0 - =< X < 1.0 that are as close to random real - numbers as Normalized IEEE 754 Double Precision allows. - Because the random real number exactly 0.0 is - infinitely improbable they will never return exactly - 0.0.

These properties are useful when you - need to call for example math:log(X) or 1 / - X on a random value X, since that will never - fail with a number from these new functions.

filelib:wildcard() now allows characters with a - special meaning to be escaped using backslashes.

-

This is an incompatible change, but note that the use - of backslashes in wildcards would already work - differently on Windows and Unix. Existing calls to - filelib:wildcard() needs to be updated. On - Windows, directory separators must always be written as a - slash.

The new functions io_lib:fwrite/3 and - io_lib:format/3 take a third argument, an option - list. The only option is chars_limit, which is - used for limiting the number of returned characters. The - limit is soft, which means that the number of returned - characters exceeds the limit with at most a smallish - amount. If the limit is set, the functions - format/3 and fwrite/3 try to distribute the - number of characters evenly over the control sequences - pPswW. Furthermore, the control sequences - pPwP try to distribute the number of characters - evenly over substructures.

A modification of the - control sequences pPwW is that even if there is no - limit on the number of returned characters, all - associations of a map are printed to the same depth. The - aim is to give a more consistent output as the order of - map keys is not defined. As before, if the depth is less - than the number of associations of a map, the selection - of associations to print is arbitrary.

External funs with literal values for module, name, - and arity (e.g. erlang:abs/1) are now treated as - literals. That means more efficient code that produces - less garbage on the heap.

- sys:statistics(Pid,get) did not report 'out' messages - from gen_server. This is now corrected.

-

- A sys debug function can now have the format - {Id,Fun,State} in addition to the old {Fun,State}. This - allows installing multiple instances of a debug fun.
