+ Fix -spec for file:write_file/3

+

+ Change type for second parameter from binary() to + iodata(), since the function explicitly takes steps to + accept lists as well as binaries. (thanks to Magnus + Henoch).

+ +

+ Sanitize the specs of the code module

+

+ After the addition of unicode_binary() to the + file:filename() type, dialyzer started complaining about + erroneous or incomplete specs in some functions of the + 'code' module. The culprit was hard-coded information in + erl_bif_types for functions of this module, which were + not updated. Since these functions have proper specs + these days and code duplication (pun intended) is never a + good idea, their type information was removed from + erl_bif_types.

+

+ While doing this, some erroneous comments were fixed in + the code module and also made sure that the code now runs + without dialyzer warnings even when the + -Wunmatched_returns option is used.

+

+ Some cleanups were applied to erl_bif_types too.
