From 4db61fcf79516ff9cd6fd04c89376f063ccae7e8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hans Bolinder Date: Mon, 14 Nov 2011 13:49:35 +0100 Subject: Remove all use of global:safe_whereis_name/1 Calls to global:whereis_name/1 have been substituted for calls to global:safe_whereis_name/1 since the latter is not safe at all. The reason for not doing this earlier is that setting a global lock masked out a bug concerning the restart of supervised children. The bug has now been fixed by a modification of global:whereis_name/1.
