Erts 9.3 + +
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions + + +

+ Fixed a configure test for libz internals + that unintentionally caused various native code in OTP to + link against libz. Under certain circumstances + this caused the build of OTP to fail.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-14840 Aux Id: ERL-529

+ + +

+ File names containing unicode codepoints larger than 255 + were not correctly encoded in stack traces.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-14847 Aux Id: ERL-544

+ + +

+ Fix HiPE bug for binary constructs like + <<X/utf8>> which could in rare cases + cause faulty results or VM crash.

+

+ This fix affects both the hipe compiler and + erts runtime in an incompatible way. Old + hipe compiled files need to be recompiled to load and run + properly as native.

+

+ *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

+ Fix term_to_binary/2 spec for + minor_version.

+ Fix bug in erlang:binary_to_integer/2 where invalid + characters were not detected for bases larger then 10. + e.g. binary_to_integer(<<":">>, 16) + would return 3 and not badarg as it should.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-14879

+ + +

Fixed bug in float_to_list/2 and + float_to_binary/2 with option decimals that + caused a faulty rounding up of the last decimal digit for + about 6% of floats with a fraction part.

+

For example, float_to_list(0.145, + [{decimals,1}]) returned "0.2" instead of + "0.1".

The BEAM compiler chooses not to perform tailcall + optimisations for some calls in tail position, for + example to some built-in functions. However, when the + ErLLVM HiPE backend is used, LLVM may choose to perform + tailcall optimisation on these calls, breaking the + expected semantics.

+

To preserve the precise semantics exhibited by BEAM, + the 'notail' marker, present in LLVM since version 3.8, + is added to call instructions that BEAM has not turned + into tail calls, which inhibits LLVM from performing + tail-call optimisation in turn.
