This document describes the changes made to the ERTS application.

+
Erts 6.0 + +
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions + + +

+ The option dupnames did not work as intended in re. When + looking for names with {capture, [Name, ...]}, re:run + returned a random instance of the match for that name, + instead of the leftmost matching instance, which was what + the documentation stated. This is now corrected to adhere + to the documentation. The option {capture,all_names} + along with a re:inspect/2 function is also added to + further help in using named subpatterns.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-11205

+ + +

+ Allow loading of NIF library with unicode path name

+

+ Own Id: OTP-11408

+ + +

+ Allow loading of driver with unicode path name

+

+ Own Id: OTP-11549

+ + +

+ Fixed a bug where starting Erlang without having an open + stdin on fd 0 would sometimes deadlock the emulator when + terminating.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-11558

+ + +

+ The option '-names' in epmd now works on Windows (Thanks + to Johannes Weißl)

+

+ Own Id: OTP-11565

+ + +

+ Correction of the examples in escript documentation. + (Thanks to Pierre Fenoll).

+

+ Own Id: OTP-11577

+ + +

+ Fix bs_get_integer instruction

+

+ The instruction bs_get_integer could unnecessarily + trigger a garbage collection in failure cases which is + unwanted or outright dangerous.

+

+ Ex:

+

+ <<X:Sz,_/bits>> = <<"some + binary">>

+

+ Previously, if Sz induced X to a bignum it would reserved + memory size this on the heap via a garbage collection + before checking if the size could actually match.

+

+ It will now check the binary size before triggering a + collection.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-11581

+ + +

+ Remove heap space overestimation in binary_to_term + (and remote message reception) for integers in the + intervals [-2147483648,-1] and [256,2147483647] on 64-bit + emulators.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-11585

+ + +

+ Add support for detecting the separate tinfo library from + ncurses (Thanks to Dirkjan Ochtman)

+

+ Own Id: OTP-11590

+ + +

+ Deprecation warning for system_flag(cpu_topology) has + been extended for removal in OTP 18 (Thanks to Steve + Vinoski for the update)

+

+ Own Id: OTP-11602

+ + +

+ Documentation improvement regarding some awkward wording + around the +spp flag. (Thanks to Brian L. Troutwine )

+

+ Own Id: OTP-11607

+ + +

+ Fixed bug where sendfile would return the wrong error + code for a remotely closed socket if the socket was in + passive mode. (Thanks to Vincent Siliakus for reporting + the bug.)

+

+ Own Id: OTP-11614

+ + +

+ Increase garbage collection tenure rate

+

The garbage collector tries to maintain the previous + heap block size during a minor gc, i.e. 'need' is not + utilized in determining the size of the new heap, instead + it relies on tenure and garbage to be sufficiently + large.

+

In instances during intense growing with exclusively + live data on the heap coupled with delayed tenure, + fullsweeps would be triggered directly after a minor gc + to make room for 'need' since the new heap would be + full.

+

To remedy this, the tenure of terms on the minor heap + will always happen (if it is below the high watermark) + instead of every other minor gc.

+

Characteristics Impact: Reduced CPU-time spent in + garbage collection but may infer delays in collecting + garbage from the heap. Tweak 'fullsweep_after' options to + increase gc pressure if needed.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-11617

+ + +

+ Fix bug when comparing integers with floats larger than + 2^992. The bug could potentially cause memory corruption + on 32-bit emulators.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-11618

+ + +

+ Cross-compilation fixes for TileraMDE-3.0.1.125620

+

+ Own Id: OTP-11635

+ + +

+ sendfile no longer uses async threads by default

+

+ This has been done because a slow client attack is + possible if the async thread pool is used. The scenario + is:

+

+ Client does a request for a file and then slowly receives + the file one byte at a time. This will eventually fill + the async thread pool with blocking sendfile operations + and thus starving the vm of all file operations.

+

+ If you still want to use the async threads pool for + sendfile an option to enable it has been introduced.

+

+ Thanks to Christopher Faulet for identifying this + vulnerability.

+

+ *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

+

+ Own Id: OTP-11639

+ + +

+ Do proper rollback of calls to + enif_open_resource_type when load/upgrade + callbacks of NIF library return failure.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-11722

+ + +

+ Changed the default configuration when configuring with + $ERL_TOP/configure to be the same as when + configuring with $ERL_TOP/otp_build configure.

+

+ Previously floating point exceptions got enabled by + default on Linux when HiPE was enabled when configuring + with $ERL_TOP/configure, but not when configuring + with $ERL_TOP/otp_build configure. The default is + now in both cases not to use floating point exceptions + since there still exist unresolved issues with floating + point exceptions on Linux.

+

+ For more information see $ERL_TOP/HOWTO/INSTALL.md.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-11818

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

+ Options to set match_limit and match_limit_recursion are + added to re:run. The option report_errors is also added + to get more information when re:run fails due to limits + or compilation errors.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-10285

+ + +

Dialyzer's unmatched_return warnings have been + corrected.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-10908

+ + +

+ A common case is to wrap an argument to + list_to_binary/1 in a list to ensure conversion + can happen even though the argument may already be a + binary. Take special care of this case and do not copy + binary.

+

+ Impact: May cause incompatibility since a single binary + is no longer copied. Use binary:copy/1,2 instead.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-11135

+ + +

+ The version of the PCRE library Used by Erlang's re + module is raised to 8.33 from 7.6. This means, among + other things, better Unicode and Unicode Character + Properties support. New options connected to PCRE 8.33 + are also added to the re module (ucd, notempty_atstart, + no_start_optimize). PCRE has extended the regular + expression syntax between 7.6 and 8.33, why this imposes + a potential incompatibility. Only very complicated + regular expressions may be affected, but if you know you + are using obscure features, please test run your regular + expressions and verify that their behavior has not + changed.

+

+ *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

+ + +

Filenames containing UTF-8 encoded characters can now + be handled by erlc.

+

If you have set the ERLC_EMULATOR environment + variable, note that erlc in OTP 17 will only work + with erl in OTP 17 since the protocol between the + erlc program and the erl_compile module has + changed.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-11248

+ + +

+ By giving --enable-static-{nifs,drivers} to configure it + is now possible to statically linking of nifs and drivers + to the main Erlang VM binary. At the moment only the asn1 + and crypto nifs of the Erlang/OTP nifs and drivers have + been prepared to be statically linked. For more details + see the Installation Guide in the System documentation.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-11258

+ + +

+ Erlang/OTP has been ported to the realtime operating + system OSE. The port supports both smp and non-smp + emulator. For details around the port and how to started + see the User's Guide in the ose application.

+

+ Note that not all parts of Erlang/OTP has been ported.

+

+ Notable things that work are: non-smp and smp emulators, + OSE signal interaction, crypto, asn1, run_erl/to_erl, + tcp, epmd, distribution and most if not all non-os + specific functionality of Erlang.

+

+ Notable things that does not work are: udp/sctp, os_mon, + erl_interface, binding of schedulers.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-11334

+ + +

+ Add the {active,N} socket option for TCP, UDP, and SCTP, + where N is an integer in the range -32768..32767, to + allow a caller to specify the number of data messages to + be delivered to the controlling process. Once the + socket's delivered message count either reaches 0 or is + explicitly set to 0 with inet:setopts/2 or by including + {active,0} as an option when the socket is created, the + socket transitions to passive ({active, false}) mode and + the socket's controlling process receives a message to + inform it of the transition. TCP sockets receive + {tcp_passive,Socket}, UDP sockets receive + {udp_passive,Socket} and SCTP sockets receive + {sctp_passive,Socket}.

+

+ The socket's delivered message counter defaults to 0, but + it can be set using {active,N} via any gen_tcp, gen_udp, + or gen_sctp function that takes socket options as + arguments, or via inet:setopts/2. New N values are added + to the socket's current counter value, and negative + numbers can be used to reduce the counter value. + Specifying a number that would cause the socket's counter + value to go above 32767 causes an einval error. If a + negative number is specified such that the counter value + would become negative, the socket's counter value is set + to 0 and the socket transitions to passive mode. If the + counter value is already 0 and inet:setopts(Socket, + [{active,0}]) is specified, the counter value remains at + 0 but the appropriate passive mode transition message is + generated for the socket.

+

+ Thanks to Steve Vinoski

+

+ Own Id: OTP-11368

+ + +

+ A new optional scheduler utilization balancing mechanism + has been introduced. For more information see the + +sub command + line argument.

+

+ Characteristics impact: None, when not enabled. When + enabled, changed timing in the system, normally a small + overhead due to measuring of utilization and calculating + balancing information. On some systems, such as old + Windows systems, the overhead can be quite substantial. + This time measurement overhead highly depend on the + underlying primitives provided by the OS.

+ + +

+ A call to either the garbage_collect/1 BIF or the + check_process_code/2 BIF may trigger garbage + collection of another processes than the process calling + the BIF. The previous implementations performed these + kinds of garbage collections without considering the + internal state of the process being garbage collected. In + order to be able to more easily and more efficiently + implement yielding native code, these types of garbage + collections have been rewritten. A garbage collection + like this is now triggered by an asynchronous request + signal, the actual garbage collection is performed by the + process being garbage collected itself, and finalized by + a reply signal to the process issuing the request. Using + this approach processes can disable garbage collection + and yield without having to set up the heap in a state + that can be garbage collected.

+

+ The garbage_collect/2, + and check_process_code/3 + BIFs have been introduced. Both taking an option list as + last argument. Using these, one can issue asynchronous + requests.

+

+ code:purge/1 and code:soft_purge/1 have + been rewritten to utilize asynchronous + check_process_code requests in order to + parallelize work.

+

+ Characteristics impact: A call to the + garbage_collect/1 BIF or the + check_process_code/2 BIF will normally take longer + time to complete while the system as a whole wont be as + much negatively effected by the operation as before. A + call to code:purge/1 and code:soft_purge/1 + may complete faster or slower depending on the state of + the system while the system as a whole wont be as much + negatively effected by the operation as before.

+ Cleanup 'Buckets' and 'Time left' fields in crashdump to + ease parsing.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-11419

+ + +

+ Add sync option to file:open/2.

+

+ The sync option adds the POSIX O_SYNC flag to the open + system call on platforms that support the flag or its + equivalent, e.g., FILE_FLAG_WRITE_THROUGH on Windows. For + platforms that don't support it, file:open/2 returns + {error, enotsup} if the sync option is passed in. Thank + to Steve Vinoski and Joseph Blomstedt

+

+ Own Id: OTP-11498

+ + +

+ erlang:binary_to_term will now cost an appropriate amount + of reductions and will interrupt (yield) for reschedule + if the term is big. This avoids too long schedules when + binary_to_term is used. (Thanks to Svante Karlsson for + the original patch)

+

+ Impact: Programs running binary_to_term on large binaries + will run more smoothly, but rescheduling will impact the + single process performance of the BIF. Single threaded + benchmarks might show degraded performance of the BIF, + while general system behaviour will be improved.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-11535 Aux Id: OTP-11388

+ Added high resolution icon for windows. (Thanks to Daniel + Goertz for the inspiration.)

+ + +

+ Migration of memory carriers has been enabled by default + on all ERTS internal memory allocators based on the + alloc_util + framework except for temp_alloc. That is, +M<S>acul + de is default for these allocators. Note + that this also implies changed allocation strategies for + all of these allocators. They will all now use the + "address order first fit carrier best fit" strategy.

+

+ By passing +Muacul 0 on the command line, all + configuration changes made by this change will be + reverted.

+

+ Characteristics impact: Improved memory characteristics + with a smaller memory footprint at the expense of a quite + small performance cost.

+

+ Experimental "dirty scheduler" functionality has been + introduced. In order to try the functionality out, you + need to pass the command line argument + --enable-dirty-schedulers to configure when + building the system.

+

+ Dirty schedulers can currently only be used by NIFs on a + system with SMP support. More information can be found in + the erl_nif(3) + documentation, the erl(1) documentation, and + in the git commit comment of commit + 'c1c03ae4ee50e58b7669ea88ec4d29c6b2b67c7b'.

Improvements and New Features + + +

+ ct_telnet can now log all communication taking place + during a telnet session. Previously, only information + about ct_telnet operations and commands, as well as + explicitly requested data from the server, was logged.

+

+ Furthermore, a logging mechanism based on an Error Logger + event handler and a dedicated Common Test hook, + cth_conn_log, now makes it possible to print data + for individual connections to separate log files. Please + see the ct_telnet reference manual for more + information and examples.

+

+ Important note: A new argument, ConnName has been + added to the unix_telnet:connect/5 callback + function. This forces users that use private ct_telnet + callback modules to update their code according to + unix_telnet:connect/6. Please see the + unix_telnet reference manual and source code + module for details.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-11440 Aux Id: seq12457

+ + +

+ A new timeout option has been introduced for the + ct_telnet:expect/3 function. With + {total_timeout,Time} it's possible to set a time + limit for the complete expect operation. After + Time milliseconds, expect/3 returns + {error,timeout}. The default value used if + total_timeout is not specified, is infinity (i.e. + no time limit). Please see the ct_telnet reference + manual for more information.

+ + +

+ Test case group name information has been added to the + data sent with tc_user_skip and + tc_auto_skip event messages, as well as the data + passed in calls to the CT Hook functions + on_tc_skip/3 and on_tc_fail/3. The + modification only affects the function name + element/argument. This value remains an atom if the test + case in question does not belong to a test case group. + Otherwise a tuple {FuncName,GroupName} + ({atom(),atom()}) is passed instead.

+

+ Note that this change may (depending on the patterns used + for matching) require modifications of user event + handlers and hook modules. Please see the Event Handling + chapter in the Common Test User's Guide, and the + reference manual for ct_hooks, for details.

+

+ Note also that the Test Server framework callback + function report/2 has been modified. This change + only affects users with test frameworks interfacing Test + Server rather than Common Test. See the + test_server_ctrl reference manual for details.

Compiler 5.0 + +
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions + + +

+ Line numbers would not be correct when a binary + construction such as + '<<Bin/binary,...>>' fails. (Thanks to + Stanislav Seletskiy for reporting this bug.)

+

+ Own Id: OTP-11572

+ + +

+ The compiler now properly annotates the code in value in + the 'after' clause for a 'try' so that + Dialyzer no longer generates a false warning for an + unmatched return.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-11580

+ + +

+ Some case statements where no clause would match could + cause an internal error in the compiler. (Thanks to Erik + Soe Sorensen for reporting this bug.)

+

+ Own Id: OTP-11610

+ + +

+ With --Wunmatched_returns, dialyzer will no longer + warn when the value of a list comprehension is ignored, + provided that the each value in the list would be an + atomic value (such as integer or atoms, as opposed to + tuples and lists). Example: ignoring '[io:format(...) + || ...]' will not cause a warning, while ignoring + '[file:close(Fd) || ...]' will.

+ Matching out a binary and applying the binary as if it + were a fun would crash the run-time system. (Thanks to + Loïc Hoguin.)

+

+ Own Id: OTP-11672

+ + +

+ Some local implementations of removing the last element + from a list are replaced by lists:droplast/1. Note + that this requires at least stdlib-2.0, which is + the stdlib version delivered in OTP 17.0. (Thanks to Hans + Svensson)

+

+ Own Id: OTP-11678

+ + +

+ Allow all auto imports to be suppressed at once. + Introducing the no_auto_import attribute: + -compile(no_auto_import). Useful for code generation + tools that always use the qualified function names and + want to avoid the auto imported functions clashing with + local ones. (Thanks to José Valim.)

+ Change interface for communicating outbound stream id to + diameter_sctp

+

+ The module uses the transport_data field of record + diameter_packet to communicate the stream on which the an + incoming message is received and on which an outgoing + message should be sent, the previous interface being that + both are communicated as a tuple of the form {stream, + Id}. However, since diameter retains the value of an + incoming request's transport_data unless the + corresponding answer message specifies otherwise, the + behaviour in this case is to send an answer on the + outbound stream with the same identifier as the that of + the inbound stream on which the request was received. If + the inbound stream id is greater than or equal to the + number of outbound streams then this is guaranteed to + fail, causing the transport process in question to + terminate. There is no relationship between inbound and + outbound stream identifiers so diameter_sctp's imposition + of one is simply wrong.

+

+ Outbound stream ids are now communicated with a different + tuple: {outstream, Id}, interpreted modulo the number of + outbound streams. Thus, retention of an inbound request's + transport_data has no effect on the selection of an + outbound stream.

+

+ The change in interface is not strictly backwards + compatible because of the new atom for the outbound + stream. However, as there is currently no documented way + of obtaining the available number of outbound streams for + a peer connection, there is no way for a client to have + known the range of ids from which it could reliably have + chosen with the previous interface, so any setting of the + outbound stream has probably been unintentional. Not + explicitly specifying an outbound stream now results in a + round-robin selection.

+

+ Thanks to Sharmila Pillai for reporting the problem.

+ Be lenient with the M-bit in Grouped AVPs.

+

+ RFC 6733 says this, in 4.4:

+

+

Receivers of a Grouped AVP that does + not have the 'M' (mandatory) bit set and one or more of + the encapsulated AVPs within the group has the 'M' + (mandatory) bit set MAY simply be ignored if the Grouped + AVP itself is unrecognized. The rule applies even if the + encapsulated AVP with its 'M' (mandatory) bit set is + further encapsulated within other sub-groups, i.e., other + Grouped AVPs embedded within the Grouped + AVP.

+

+ The first sentence is mangled but take it to mean this:

+

+

An unrecognized AVP of type Grouped + that does not set the 'M' bit MAY be ignored even if one + of its encapsulated AVPs sets the 'M' + bit.

+

+ This is a bit of a non-statement since if the AVP is + unrecognized then its type is unknown. We therefore don't + know that its data bytes contain encapsulated AVPs, so + can't but ignore any of those that set the M-bit. Doing + anything else when the type *is* known would be + inconsistent.

+

+ OTP-11087 (R16B03) caused the M-bit on any unrecognized + AVP to be regarded as an error, unrecognized being taken + to mean "not explicitly defined as a member of its + container". (That is, an AVP that can't be packed into a + dedicated record field, which is slightly stronger than + "not defined".) This fixed the original intention for + top-level AVPs but broke the required leniency for + Grouped AVPs whose type is known. This leniency is now + restored.

+

+ Note that dictionary files need to be recompiled for the + change to have effect.

+ Add the {active,N} socket option for TCP, UDP, and SCTP, + where N is an integer in the range -32768..32767, to + allow a caller to specify the number of data messages to + be delivered to the controlling process. Once the + socket's delivered message count either reaches 0 or is + explicitly set to 0 with inet:setopts/2 or by including + {active,0} as an option when the socket is created, the + socket transitions to passive ({active, false}) mode and + the socket's controlling process receives a message to + inform it of the transition. TCP sockets receive + {tcp_passive,Socket}, UDP sockets receive + {udp_passive,Socket} and SCTP sockets receive + {sctp_passive,Socket}.

+

+ The socket's delivered message counter defaults to 0, but + it can be set using {active,N} via any gen_tcp, gen_udp, + or gen_sctp function that takes socket options as + arguments, or via inet:setopts/2. New N values are added + to the socket's current counter value, and negative + numbers can be used to reduce the counter value. + Specifying a number that would cause the socket's counter + value to go above 32767 causes an einval error. If a + negative number is specified such that the counter value + would become negative, the socket's counter value is set + to 0 and the socket transitions to passive mode. If the + counter value is already 0 and inet:setopts(Socket, + [{active,0}]) is specified, the counter value remains at + 0 but the appropriate passive mode transition message is + generated for the socket.

+ A call to either the garbage_collect/1 BIF or the + check_process_code/2 BIF may trigger garbage + collection of another processes than the process calling + the BIF. The previous implementations performed these + kinds of garbage collections without considering the + internal state of the process being garbage collected. In + order to be able to more easily and more efficiently + implement yielding native code, these types of garbage + collections have been rewritten. A garbage collection + like this is now triggered by an asynchronous request + signal, the actual garbage collection is performed by the + process being garbage collected itself, and finalized by + a reply signal to the process issuing the request. Using + this approach processes can disable garbage collection + and yield without having to set up the heap in a state + that can be garbage collected.

+

+ The garbage_collect/2, + and check_process_code/3 + BIFs have been introduced. Both taking an option list as + last argument. Using these, one can issue asynchronous + requests.

+

+ code:purge/1 and code:soft_purge/1 have + been rewritten to utilize asynchronous + check_process_code requests in order to + parallelize work.

+

+ Characteristics impact: A call to the + garbage_collect/1 BIF or the + check_process_code/2 BIF will normally take longer + time to complete while the system as a whole wont be as + much negatively effected by the operation as before. A + call to code:purge/1 and code:soft_purge/1 + may complete faster or slower depending on the state of + the system while the system as a whole wont be as much + negatively effected by the operation as before.

STDLIB 2.0 + +
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions + + +

+ The option dupnames did not work as intended in re. When + looking for names with {capture, [Name, ...]}, re:run + returned a random instance of the match for that name, + instead of the leftmost matching instance, which was what + the documentation stated. This is now corrected to adhere + to the documentation. The option {capture,all_names} + along with a re:inspect/2 function is also added to + further help in using named subpatterns.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-11205

+ + +

+ If option 'binary' was set for standard_input, then c:i() + would hang if the output was more than one page long - + i.e. then input after "(c)ontinue (q)uit -->" could + not be read. This has been corrected. (Thanks to José + Valim)

+

+ Own Id: OTP-11589

+ + +

+ stdlib/lists: Add function droplast/1 This functions + drops the last element of a non-empty list. lists:last/1 + and lists:droplast/1 are the dual of hd/1 and tl/1 but + for the end of a list. (Thanks to Hans Svensson)

+

+ Own Id: OTP-11677

+ Allow all auto imports to be suppressed at once. + Introducing the no_auto_import attribute: + -compile(no_auto_import).

+ supervisor_bridge does no longer report normal + termination of children. The reason is that in some + cases, for instance when the restart strategy is + simple_one_for_one, the log could be completely + overloaded with reports about normally terminating + processes. (Thanks to Artem Ocheredko)

+

+ Own Id: OTP-11685

The type annotations for alternative registries using + the {via, Module, Name} syntax for sup_name() and + sup_ref() in the supervisor module are now consistent + with the documentation. Dialyzer should no longer + complain about valid supervisor:start_link() and + supervisor:start_child() calls. (Thanks to Caleb + Helbling.)

Two Dets bugs have been fixed. When trying to open a + short file that is not a Dets file, the file was deleted + even with just read access. Calling + dets:is_dets_file/1 with a file that is not a Dets + file, a file descriptor was left open. (Thanks to Håkan + Mattsson for reporting the bugs.)

Since Erlang/OTP R16B the Erlang Core Linter + (erl_lint) has not emitted errors when built-in + types were re-defined. This bug has been fixed. (Thanks + to Roberto Aloi.)

+

+ Own Id: OTP-11772

+ + +

+ The functions sys:get_state/1,2 and + sys:replace_state/2,3 are fixed so they can now be + run while the process is sys suspended. To accomplish + this, the new callbacks Mod:system_get_state/1 and + Mod:system_replace_state/2 are added, which are + also implemented by the generic behaviours + gen_server, gen_event and gen_fsm.

+

+ The potential incompatibility refers to

+

+ The previous behaviour of intercepting the + system message and passing a tuple of size 2 as the last + argument to sys:handle_system_msg/6 is no longer + supported. The error handling when + StateFun in sys:replace_state/2,3 fails is + changed from being totally silent to possibly (if the + callback module does not catch) throw an exception in the + client process.

+

+ (Thanks to James Fish and Steve Vinoski)

+

+ Own Id: OTP-10285

+ + +

The pre-defined types array/0, dict/0, + digraph/0, gb_set/0, gb_tree/0, + queue/0, set/0, and tid/0 have been + deprecated. They will be removed in Erlang/OTP 18.0.

+

Instead the types array:array/0, + dict:dict/0, digraph:graph/0, + gb_set:set/0, gb_tree:tree/0, + queue:queue/0, sets:set/0, and + ets:tid/0 can be used. (Note: it has always been + necessary to use ets:tid/0.)

It is + allowed in Erlang/OTP 17.0 to locally re-define the types + array/0, dict/0, and so on.

New + types array:array/1, dict:dict/2, + gb_sets:set/1, gb_trees:tree/2, + queue:queue/1, and sets:set/1 have been + added.

A compiler option, + nowarn_deprecated_type, has been introduced. By + including the attribute

+ -compile(nowarn_deprecated_type).

in an Erlang + source file, warnings about deprecated types can be + avoided in Erlang/OTP 17.0.

The option can also + be given as a compiler flag:

+ The version of the PCRE library Used by Erlang's re + module is raised to 8.33 from 7.6. This means, among + other things, better Unicode and Unicode Character + Properties support. New options connected to PCRE 8.33 + are also added to the re module (ucd, notempty_atstart, + no_start_optimize). PCRE has extended the regular + expression syntax between 7.6 and 8.33, why this imposes + a potential incompatibility. Only very complicated + regular expressions may be affected, but if you know you + are using obscure features, please test run your regular + expressions and verify that their behavior has not + changed.

+ + +

+ A call to either the garbage_collect/1 BIF or the + check_process_code/2 BIF may trigger garbage + collection of another processes than the process calling + the BIF. The previous implementations performed these + kinds of garbage collections without considering the + internal state of the process being garbage collected. In + order to be able to more easily and more efficiently + implement yielding native code, these types of garbage + collections have been rewritten. A garbage collection + like this is now triggered by an asynchronous request + signal, the actual garbage collection is performed by the + process being garbage collected itself, and finalized by + a reply signal to the process issuing the request. Using + this approach processes can disable garbage collection + and yield without having to set up the heap in a state + that can be garbage collected.

+

+ The garbage_collect/2, + and check_process_code/3 + BIFs have been introduced. Both taking an option list as + last argument. Using these, one can issue asynchronous + requests.

+

+ code:purge/1 and code:soft_purge/1 have + been rewritten to utilize asynchronous + check_process_code requests in order to + parallelize work.

+

+ Characteristics impact: A call to the + garbage_collect/1 BIF or the + check_process_code/2 BIF will normally take longer + time to complete while the system as a whole wont be as + much negatively effected by the operation as before. A + call to code:purge/1 and code:soft_purge/1 + may complete faster or slower depending on the state of + the system while the system as a whole wont be as much + negatively effected by the operation as before.

orddict:from_list/1 now uses the optimized sort + routines in the lists module instead of + (essentially) an insertion sort. Depending on the input + data, the speed of the new from_list/1 is anything + from slightly faster up to several orders of magnitude + faster than the old from_list/1.

+ EEP43: New data type - Maps

+

+ With Maps you may for instance: M0 = + #{ a => 1, b => 2}, % create + associations M1 = M0#{ a := 10 }, % + update values M2 = M1#{ "hi" => + "hello"}, % add new associations #{ + "hi" := V1, a := V2, b := V3} = M2. % match keys with + values

+

+ For information on how to use Maps please see the + Reference + Manual.

+

+ The current implementation is without the following + features: No variable keys + No single value access No map + comprehensions

+

+ Note that Maps is experimental during OTP 17.0.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-11616

+ When tab completing the erlang shell now expands + zero-arity functions all the way to closing parenthesis, + unless there is another function with the same name and a + different arity. (Thanks to Pierre Fenoll.)
