This document describes the changes made to the Dialyzer application.

+
Dialyzer 3.2 + +
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions + + +

The check of bad type variables in type declarations + was mistakingly removed in Erlang/OTP 18, and is now + re-introduced.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-14423 Aux Id: OTP-14323

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

+ Analyzing modules with binary construction with huge + strings is now much faster. The compiler also compiles + such modules slightly faster.

+
+ +

The peak memory consumption is reduced.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-14127

+
+ +

TypEr has been removed as separate application and is + now a part of the Dialyzer application. Documentation for + TypEr has been added in the Dialyzer application.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-14336

+
+ +

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.
