This document describes the changes made to the Compiler application.

+
Compiler 4.7.2 + +
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions + + +

+ Two compiler bugs (that would cause the compiler to + terminate) reported by Christopher Williams have been + fixed.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-8949

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

The compiler would translate binary comprehensions + containing tail segments in a way that would would + confuse Dialyzer. For instance:

+

[42 || <<_:8/integer, _/bits>> <= + Bits]

+

+ would produce a Dialyzer warning.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-8864

+ + +

+ Code such as foo(A) -> <<A:0>> + would crash the compiler.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-8865

+ + +

+ The compiler could fail with an internal error when + variables were exported from a receive block but the + return value of the receive block were not used. (Thanks + to Jim Engquist for reporting this error.)
