+ + +

+ fix supervisors restarting temporary children

+

+ In the current implementation of supervisors, temporary + children should never be restarted. However, when a + temporary child is restarted as part of a one_for_all or + rest_for_one strategy where the failing process is not + the temporary child, the supervisor still tries to + restart it.

+

+ Because the supervisor doesn't keep some of the MFA + information of temporary children, this causes the + supervisor to hit its restart limit and crash.

+

+ This patch fixes the behaviour by inserting a clause in + terminate_children/2-3 (private function) that will omit + temporary children when building a list of killed + processes, to avoid having the supervisor trying to + restart them again.

+

+ Only supervisors in need of restarting children used the + list, so the change should be of no impact for the + functions that called terminate_children/2-3 only to kill + all children.

+

+ The documentation has been modified to make this + behaviour more explicit. (Thanks to Fred Hebert)
