This document lists some highlights of Erlang 5.8/OTP R14A - (unpatched), compared to the previous version Erlang 5.7.1/OTP R13B, - with focus on things not already released as R13B patches.

-

Note: This document was compiled at the time when R14A was released - and does not list any features introduced in R14 patches.

- -
- Erlang Language and Run-time System -
- New NIF features - -

Send messages from a NIF, or from thread created by NIF, to - any local process (enif_send)

 - -

Store terms between NIF calls (enif_alloc_env, - enif_make_copy)

 - -

Create binary terms with user defined memory management - (enif_make_resource_binary)

 - -

Some incompatible changes made to the API. For more - information see the warning text in erl_nif(3).

 - -
-
- Receive optimizations -

Receive statements that can only read out a newly created - reference are now specially optimized so that it will execute - in constant time regardless of the number of messages in the - receive queue for the process. That optimization will benefit - calls to gen_server:call(). (See gen:do_call/4 for an example - of a receive statement that will be optimized.)

-
-
- Improved eprof -

eprof has been reimplemented with support in the Erlang - virtual machine and is now both faster (i.e. slows down the - code being measured less) and scales much better. In - measurements we saw speed-ups compared to the old eprof - ranging from 6 times (for sequential code that only uses one - scheduler/core) up to 84 times (for parallel code that uses 8 - cores).

- -

Note: The API for the eprof has been cleaned up and extended. - See the documentation.

-
-
-
- New features in Existing Applications - -
- Common_test - -

- It is now possible for the user to provide specific callback - modules that handle test configuration data, so that data on - arbitray form can be accessed (e.g. by reading files or by - communicating with a configuration server process). Two - default callback modules have been introduced in Common Test: - ct_config_plain and ct_config_xml. The former is used to - handle the traditional Common Test configuration files (with - terms on key-value tuple form) and the latter to handle - configuration data on XML representation. -

-

- The run_test script has been replaced by a program (with the - same name) which can be executed without explicit - installation. The start flags are the same as for the legacy - start script. -

-
-
- STDLIB -

- The module binary from EEP31 (and EEP9) is implemented. -

- Compiler and STDLIB - - -

- Local and imported functions now override the auto-imported - BIFs when the names clash. The pre R14 behaviour was that - auto-imported BIFs would override local functions. To avoid - that old programs change behaviour, the following will - generate an error:

- - - Doing a call without explicit module name to a local function - having a name clashing with the name of an auto-imported BIF - that was present (and auto-imported) before OTP R14A - - Explicitly importing a function having a name clashing with - the name of an autoimported BIF that was present (and - autoimported) before OTP R14A - - Using any form of the old compiler directive nowarn_bif_clash - - -

If the BIF was added or auto-imported in OTP R14A or later, - overriding it with an import or a local function will only - result in a warning.

- -

To resolve clashes, you can either use the explicit module - name erlang to call the BIF, or you can remove the - auto-import of that specific BIF by using the new compiler - directive -compile({no_auto_import,[F/A]})., which makes all - calls to the local or imported function without explicit - module name pass without warnings or errors.

- -

The change makes it possible to add auto-imported BIFs - without breaking or silently changing old code in the future. - However some current code ingeniously utilizing the old - behaviour or the nowarn_bif_clash compiler directive, might - need changing to be accepted by the compiler.

-

- *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

-

- Own Id: OTP-8579

- - -

- The recently added BIFs erlang:min/2, erlang:max/2 and - erlang:port_command/3 are now auto-imported (as they were - originally intended to be). Due to the recent compiler change - (OTP-8579), the only impact on old code defining it's own - min/2, max/2 or port_command/3 functions will be a warning, - the local functions will still be used. The warning can be - removed by using - -compile({no_auto_import,[min/2,max/2,port_command/3]}). in - the source file.

-

- *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

-

- Own Id: OTP-8669

- - -

- Now, binary_to_term/2 is auto-imported. This will cause a - compile warning if and only if a module has got a local - function with that name.

Compact IEEE 754 double encoding in external binary format - for ei

- -

Implement the compact IEEE 754 double encoding in external - binary format for ei. Encoding for ei now always produces the - NEW_FLOAT_EXT format. Decoding and term printing handle both - the old ERL_FLOAT_EXT encoding and the new NEW_FLOAT_EXT - encoding.

- -

Legacy erl_interface code also handles the new encoding, but - still produces the ERL_FLOAT_EXT encoding by default.

- -

Also enable the DFLAG_NEW_FLOATS distribution flag.

- -

ei_get_type() will return ERL_FLOAT_EXT regardless if the - external format is encoded with ERL_FLOAT_EXT or - NEW_FLOAT_EXT for doubles.

- -

Reduce the number of copies of the code for encoding and - decoding doubles throughout ei and erl_interface by instead - calling the ei encoding and decoding functions wherever - possible.

- -

Restore commented-out float tests in ei_decode_SUITE and - ei_encode_SUITE in lib/erl_interface/test. Modify them to - make them match the style of other tests in the same suites.

- -

These changes are based on an ei float patch from Serge - Aleynikov originally submitted against R12B-2 in July 2008 - and reworked by Steve Vinoski May 2010.
