This document describes the changes made to the ERTS application.

+
Erts 9.0 + +
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions + + +

Fix various bugs regarding loading, upgrade and purge + of HiPE compiled code:

The native code + memory for a purged module was never deallocated. + Wrong functions could in some cases be called after + a module upgrade. + erlang:check_process_code did not check for + recursive calls made from native code. +

+ Own Id: OTP-13968

+ + +

+ Hipe optional LLVM backend does require LLVM version 3.9 + or later as older versions forced strong dependencies on + erts internals structures.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-14238

+ + +

When an exception such as 'throw(HugeTerm)' was + caught, HugeTerm term would be kept in the process + until the next exception occurred, potentially increasing + the heap size for the process. That has been + corrected.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-14255 Aux Id: OTP-14400, OTP-14401

+ + +

+ Slogans in crash dumps have been extended to print more + complex terms.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-14303

+ + +

+ Fixed bug when using enif_inspect_binary in + combination with enif_copy. In some circumstances + the inspected binary could be reallocated by the + enif_copy call when it shouldn't have been.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-14304

+ + +

+ The address family local (AF_UNIX / AF_LOCAL) now + does not ensure zero termination of Linux Abstract + Addresses so they can use all bytes.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-14305

+ + +

+ Use -fno-PIE for Gentoo Hardened and others that + don't accept linker flag -no-pie.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-14307 Aux Id: PR-1379

+ + +

+ Disable hipe for ppc64le architecture (little + endian) as it is not, and has never been, supported. It + was earlier equated with ppc64 (big endian) which + lead to broken build without --disable-hipe.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-14314 Aux Id: ERL-369, PR-1394

+ + +

+ Fix 'epmd -kill' to return a failure exit status code if + epmd was not killed because of some error.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-14324

+ + +

Fixed the following dirty scheduler related bugs:

+

the +SDPcpu command line argument + could cause the amount of dirty CPU schedulers to be set + to zero

 +

erlang:system_flag(multi_scheduling, _) + failed when only one normal scheduler was used together + with dirty scheduler support

 +

+ Own Id: OTP-14335

+ + +

+ Fix erlexec to handle mismatch in sysconf and proc fs + when figuring out the cpu topology. This behaviour has + been seen when using docker together with + --cpuset-cpus.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-14352

+ + +

+ Fixed memory segment cache used for multiblock carriers. + Huge (> 2GB) memory segments could cause a VM crash. + Creation of such huge memory segments used for multiblock + carriers is however very uncommon.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-14360 Aux Id: ERL-401, PR-1417

+ + +

+ Fix bug causing code:is_module_native to falsely + return true when local call trace is enabled for + the module.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-14390

+ + +

+ Fix emulator crash when receive tracing on a + trace_delivered message.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-14411

+ + +

+ Fix file:sendfile error handling on SunOS when a + connection is closed during transmission.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-14424

+ + +

+ escript did not handle paths with spaces correct.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-14433

+ + +

+ Fix erroneous lock check assertion when wx is run + on MacOS X.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-14437 Aux Id: ERL-360

+ + +

Active-mode TCP sockets are now cleaned up properly on + send/shutdown errors.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-14441 Aux Id: ERL-430

+ + +

+ Fix compilation of hipe_mkliterals when the LIBS + configure variable had to be set.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-14447

+ + +
+ + +
Improvements and New Features + + +

+ Added erlang:garbage_collect/2 that takes an + option list as the last argument that can be used to + control whether a minor or a major garbage collection is + to be done. Doing a minor collection only collects terms + that have recently died, but is cheaper than a major + collection.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-11695

+ + +

+ Optimized test for tuples with an atom as first element.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-12148

+ + +

+ Erlang literals are no longer copied during process to + process messaging.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-13529

+ + +

Add support in the erl_nif API for asynchronous + message notifications when sockets or other file + descriptors are ready to accept read or write operations. + The following functions have been added:

+

enif_select

 +

enif_monitor_process

 +

enif_demonitor_process

 +

enif_compare_monitors

 +

enif_open_resource_type_x

 +

+ Own Id: OTP-13684

+ + +

There are two new guard BIFs 'floor/1' and + 'ceil/1'. They both return integers. In the + 'math' module, there are two new BIFs with the + same names that return floating point values.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-13692

+ + +

+ Remove deprecated erlang:hash/2.

+

+ *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

+

+ Own Id: OTP-13827

+ + +

Replaced usage of deprecated symbolic time + unit representations.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-13831 Aux Id: OTP-13735

+ + +

+ Added support in zlib for extraction of the inflation + dictionary.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-13842

+ + +

+ The previously used purge strategy has been removed. The + optional purge strategy introduced in ERTS version 8.1 is + now the only strategy available.

+

+ The new purge strategy is slightly incompatible with the + old strategy. Previously processes holding funs + that referred to the module being purged either failed a + soft purge, or was killed during a hard purge. The new + strategy completely ignores funs. If funs + referring to the code being purged exist, and are used + after a purge, an exception will be raised upon usage. + That is, the behavior will be exactly the same as the + case when a fun is received by a process after the + purge.

+

+ For more information see the documentation of erlang:check_process_code/3.

+

+ *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

+

+ Own Id: OTP-13844 Aux Id: OTP-13833

+ + +

+ Dirty schedulers are now enabled by default when the + runtime system is built with SMP support.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-13860

+ + +

+ Improved ETS lookup/insert/delete speed for large + set, bag and duplicate_bag by a + significant reduction of the hash load factor. This speed + improvement comes at the expense of less than one word + per table entry. Tables with less than 256 entries are + not affected at all.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-13903

+ + +

+ The NIF library reload feature is not supported + anymore. It has been marked as deprecated since OTP R15B. + This means that you are only allowed to do one successful + call to erlang:load_nif/2 for each module + instance. A second call to erlang:load_nif/2 will + return {error, {reload, _}} even if the NIF + library implements the reload callback.

+

+ Runtime upgrade of a NIF library is still supported by + using the Erlang module upgrade mechanics with a current + and an old module instance existing at the same time with + their corresponding NIF libraries.

+

+ *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

+

+ Own Id: OTP-13908

+ + +

+ Add erlang:system_info(atom_count) and + erlang:system_info(atom_limit) to provide a way to + retrieve the current and maximum number of atoms.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-13976

+ + +

The function fmod/2 has been added to the + math module.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-14000

+ + +

+ erlang:load_nif/2 returns new error type + notsup when called for a HiPE compiled module, + which is not supported.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-14002

+ + +

+ Add driver and nif lock instrumentation to lcnt

+

+ Own Id: OTP-14069

+ + +

+ Reduce memory pressure by converting sub-binaries to + heap-binaries when possible. This is done during garbage + collection.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-14149

+ + +

+ Dirty schedulers are now enabled and supported on Erlang + runtime systems with SMP support.

+

+ Besides support for dirty NIFs also support for dirty + BIFs and dirty garbage collection have been introduced. + All garbage collections that potentially will take a long + time to complete are now performed on dirty schedulers if + enabled.

+

+ erlang:statistics/1 + with arguments inspecting scheduler and run queue states + have been changed due to the dirty scheduler support. + Code using this functionality may have to be rewritten + taking these incompatibilities into consideration. + Examples of such uses are calls to erlang:statistics(scheduler_wall_time), + statistics(total_run_queue_lengths), + statistics(total_active_tasks), + etc.

+

+ *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

+

+ Own Id: OTP-14152

+ + +

Atoms may now contain arbitrary Unicode + characters.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-14178

+ + +

+ Introduce an event manager in Erlang to handle OS + signals. A subset of OS signals may be subscribed to and + those are described in the Kernel application.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-14186

+ + +

+ The escript program now handles symbolic links to + escripts.

+

+ This is useful for standalone systems with + escripts residing on a bin directory not included + in the execution path (as it may cause their erl + program(s) to override the desired one). Instead the + escripts can be referred to via symbolic links + from a bin directory in the path.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-14201 Aux Id: PR-1293

+ + +

+ All uses of the magic binary kludge has been replaced by + uses of erlang references.

+

+ A magic binary was presented as an empty binary, but + actually referred other data internally in the Erlang VM. + Since they were presented as empty binaries, different + magic binaries compared as equal, and also lost their + internal data when passed out of an erlang node.

+

+ The new usage of references has not got any of these + strange semantic issues, and the usage of these + references has been optimized to give the same + performance benefits as well as memory usage benefits as + magic binaries had.

+

+ A couple of examples of previous uses of magic binaries + are match specifications and NIF resources.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-14205

+ + +

+ The non-smp emulators have been deprecated and are + scheduled for removal in OTP-21.

+

+ In preparation for this, the threaded non-smp emulator is + no longer built by default and has to be enabled using + the --enable-plain-emulator to configure.

+

+ *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

+

+ Own Id: OTP-14272

+ + +

+ Allow HiPE to run on VM built with + --enable-m32-build.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-14330 Aux Id: PR-1397

+ + +

+ Upgraded the OTP internal PCRE library from version 8.33 + to version 8.40. This library is used for implementation + of the re + regular expressions module.

+

+ Besides various bug fixes, the new version allows for + better stack protection. In order to utilize this + feature, the stack size of normal scheduler threads is + now by default set to 128 kilo words on all platforms. + The stack size of normal scheduler threads can be set + upon system start by passing the +sss + command line argument to the erl command.

+

+ See http://pcre.org/original/changelog.txt + for information about changes made to PCRE between the + versions 8.33 and 8.40.

+

+ *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

+

+ Own Id: OTP-14331 Aux Id: ERL-208

+ + +

+ Remove generation of atoms in old latin1 external format + in the distribution between erlang nodes, + erl_interface, and jinterface. The new utf8 + format for atoms was introduced in OTP R16. An OTP 20 + node can therefore not connect to nodes older than R16.

+

+ Atoms that can be encoded using latin1 are still encoded + by term_to_binary() using latin1 encoding. Note + that all atoms will by default be encoded using utf8 in a + future Erlang/OTP release. For more information see the + documentation of erlang:term_to_binary/2.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-14337

+ + +

+ Added function re:version/0 which returns + information about the OTP internal PCRE version used for + implementation of the re module.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-14347 Aux Id: PR-1412

+ + +

+ Added new debug bif erlang:list_to_port/1.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-14348

+ + +

+ Various improvements of timer management internally in + the VM. These improvements both reduced memory + consumption of timer wheels as well as reduce the amount + of work that has to be performed in order to handle + timers.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-14356

+ + +

Sockets can now be bound to device (SO_BINDTODEVICE) + on platforms where it is supported.

This has + been implemented e.g to support VRF-Lite under Linux; see + + VRF , and GitHub pull request #1326. +

+

+ Own Id: OTP-14357 Aux Id: PR-1326

+ + +

Added the following erl command line arguments + with which you can set suggested stack for dirty + schedulers:

+sssdcpu +

for dirty CPU schedulers

 + +sssdio +

for dirty IO schedulers

 +

The default suggested stack size for dirty schedulers + is 40 kilo words.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-14380

+ + +

+ Changed erts startup program name, argv 0, to use the + environment variable ESCRIPT_NAME so that + erlc, dialyzer, typer, + ct_run, or the escript name can be seen with + external programs, such as ps and htop (depending on + options), on unix.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-14381

+ + +

+ Improvements of escript documentation.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-14384 Aux Id: OTP-14201

+ + +

+ Add function enif_hash for NIFs to calculate hash + values of arbitrary terms.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-14385 Aux Id: PR-1413

+ + +

'./configure --enable-lock-counter' will + enabling building of an additional emulator that has + support for lock counting. (The option previously + existed, but would turn on lock counting in the default + emulator being built.) To start the lock-counting + emulator, use 'erl -emu_type lcnt'.

+

On Windows, erl recognized the undocumented + option -debug for starting a debug-compiled + emulator. That option has been removed. Use 'erl + -emu_type debug' instead.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-14407

+ + +

+ Warnings have been added to the relevant documentation + about not using un-secure distributed nodes in exposed + environments.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-14425

+ + +

+ Improvement of the documentation of the environment + variable ERL_CRASH_DUMP_SECONDS as well as the + default behavior when it is not set.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-14434

+ + +

+ Enabled off-heap message queue for some system processes + that might receive large amounts of messages.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-14438

+ + +

ETS lock indexes have been replaced with the table + name in LCNT results.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-14442 Aux Id: ERIERL-22

+

+ RFC 6733 2.4 requires a node to send the application + identifiers of all locally supported applications at + capabilities exchange, but not all nodes respect this for + the common application, and diameter itself will send + D[WP][RA] without the common application having been + explicitly advertised.

+ Add transport options to avoid deadlock and allow for + load regulation.

+

+ Both diameter_tcp and diameter_sctp now accept two new + configuration options: sender and message_cb. The former + causes outgoing sends to take place in a dedicated + process, to avoid the possibility of deadlock when both + the transport process and its peer block in send.

+

+ Neither of these options are yet documented, but are + unlikely to change unless problems are discovered. The + sender option is not the default since it should probably + always be used in combination with message_cb, to prevent + incoming requests from being read at a higher rate than a + peer allows outgoing answers to be sent.

Optimized ETS operations by changing table identifier + type from integer to reference. The reference enables a + more direct mapping to the table with less potential lock + contention and makes especially creation and deletion of + tables scale much better.

The change of the opaque + type for the ETS table identifiers may cause failure in + code that make faulty assumptions about this opaque + type.

The number of tables stored at one + Erlang node used to be limited. This is no + longer the case (except by memory usage). The previous + default limit was about 1400 tables and could be + increased by setting the environment variable + ERL_MAX_ETS_TABLES before starting the Erlang + runtime system. This hard limit has been removed, but it + is currently useful to set the ERL_MAX_ETS_TABLES + anyway. It should be set to an approximate of the maximum + amount of tables used. This since an internal table for + named tables is sized using this value. If large amounts + of named tables are used and ERL_MAX_ETS_TABLES + hasn't been increased, the performance of named table + lookup will degrade.

The shell functions c/1 and c/2 have + been extended so that if the argument is a module name + instead of a file name, it automatically locates the + .beam file and the corresponding source file, and then + recompiles the module using the same compiler options + (plus any options passed to c/2). If compilation fails, + the old beam file is preserved. Also adds c(Mod, Opts, + Filter), where the Filter argument allows you to + remove old compiler options before the new options are + added.

New utility functions file_find/2/3 + and find_source/1/2/3 have been added to + filelib.

erl_tar in previous versions of OTP only + supports the USTAR format. That limited path names to at + most 255 bytes, and did not support Unicode characters in + names in a portable way.

+

erl_tar now has support for reading tar + archives in the formats currently in common use, such as + v7, STAR, USTAR, PAX, and GNU tar's extensions to the + STAR/USTAR format. When writing tar archives, + erl_tar can now write them in the PAX + format if necessary (for example, to support very long + filenames or filenames with Unicode characters). If + possible, erl_tar will still write tar archives in + the USTAR for maximum portability.

base64:mime_decode/1 has been optimized so that + it is now almost as fast asbase64:decode/1; it + used be noticeably slower.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-14245

+ + +

erl_tar will now strip any leading '/' + from pathnames when extracting files from a tar archive + and write a message to the error logger. There is also + new check for directory traversal attacks; if a relative + path points above the current working directory the + extraction will be aborted.

Two new functions has been implemented in the + rand module; normal/2 and + normal_s/3, that both produce normal distribution + (pseudo) random numbers with mean value and variance + according to arguments.

+ Upgraded the OTP internal PCRE library from version 8.33 + to version 8.40. This library is used for implementation + of the re + regular expressions module.

+

+ Besides various bug fixes, the new version allows for + better stack protection. In order to utilize this + feature, the stack size of normal scheduler threads is + now by default set to 128 kilo words on all platforms. + The stack size of normal scheduler threads can be set + upon system start by passing the +sss + command line argument to the erl command.

+

+ See http://pcre.org/original/changelog.txt + for information about changes made to PCRE between the + versions 8.33 and 8.40.

+ + +

The format of debug information that is stored in BEAM + files (when debug_info is used) has been changed. + The purpose of the change is to better support other + BEAM-based languages such as Elixir or LFE.

+

All tools included in OTP (dialyzer, debugger, cover, + and so on) will handle both the new format and the + previous format. Tools that retrieve the debug + information using beam_lib:chunk(Beam, + [abstract_code]) will continue to work with both the + new and old format. Tools that call + beam_lib:chunk(Beam, ["Abst"]) will not work with + the new format.

+

For more information, see the description of + debug_info in the documentation for + beam_lib and the description of the + {debug_info,{Backend,Data}} option in the + documentation for compile.

+ Add option hibernate_after to gen_server, gen_statem and + gen_event. Also added to the deprecated gen_fsm + behaviour.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-14405

+ + +

The size of crash reports created by + gen_server, gen_statem and proc_lib + is limited with aid of the Kernel application variable + error_logger_format_depth. The purpose is to limit + the size of the messages sent to the error_logger + process when processes with huge message queues or states + crash.

The crash report generated by + proc_lib includes the new tag + message_queue_len. The neighbour report also + includes the new tag current_stacktrace. Finally, + the neighbour report no longer includes the tags + messages and dictionary.

The new + function error_logger:get_format_depth/0 can be + used to retrieve the value of the Kernel application + variable error_logger_format_depth.
