1 Tools Release Notes
1.1 Tools 2.4
1.1.1 Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions
-
The Erlang Emacs mode now properly handles strings that
have $ or ^ as the last character.
Own Id: OTP-4697
-
xref: The unresolved arity (-1) is now recognized
in analyses and queries.
Own Id: OTP-4778
-
cover does no longer hang if an interface function
is called on a remote node - it returns
{error,not_main_node}.
Own Id: OTP-5031
-
fprof: Time spent in the last function in a chain,
i.e. a function which did not call another function, and
the time when a process was scheduled out, was charged on
the above function. This resulted in own time in many
cases being bigger than acc time since the time a process
was scheduled out was charged on the function from which
the process was scheduled out. This is now corrected.
Own Id: OTP-5073
-
Previous patch from open source messed up \M-q so part of
that patch was backed out.
Own Id: OTP-5074
-
cover: Added "Exclude Included Functions". If
"real code" is included in a modules which is cover
compiled, there will be no bumps for lines in the
included file. Earlier this would cause faulty bumps for
lines in the module, i.e. if the code was on line 4 in
the included file it would produce a bump for line 4 in
the module. Lines in included files are now just
disregarded.

1.1.2 Improvements and New Features
-
Added support for try-catch to the Erlang mode for Emacs.
However there are still some known problems with some of
the more advanced variants especially including separate
of-clauses.
Own Id: OTP-4594
-
Improvments for support of Emacs 21 contributed by Dave
Love. The bulk of the changes are actually cosmetic
commentary/doc fixes. The significant ones make it play
better with Emacs 21 with up-to-date facilities. In
particular, support for compilation error messages from
an inferior erl (as opposed to batch compilation) works
in the released Emacs 21, and currently with the
development Emacs.
Own Id: OTP-5019
-
Added a skeletons for an Erlang test-suite for both the
ts-frontend and the ct-frontend (this frontend is
Ericsson internal). Also altered some of the old
skeletons to get a uniform look and feel.
Own Id: OTP-5058
-
The Erlang mode for Emacs now supports the new guard
is_boolean.
Own Id: OTP-5059
-
cover: Adjustments to handle new syntax of
try-catch.
Own Id: OTP-5154

Own Id: OTP-4734

1.2.2 Improvements and New Features
-
Added functions cover:start(Nodes) and
cover:stop(Nodes). Cover compiled modules will be
loaded on all nodes added with cover:start(Nodes).
cover:stop(Nodes) will collect coverage data from
the stopped nodes and merge it with data collected on
the main (controller) node.
cover:analyse/1,2,3 and
cover:analyse_to_file/1,2,3 will also collect data
from all nodes before analysing.
Own Id: OTP-4177
-
The module attribute tag deprecated is used by
xref to find calls to deprecated functions.
The m/1, d/1, and analyze/2,3 functions
have been updated to return calls to deprecated functions.
See also xref(3) for more details.
Own Id: OTP-4695
-
Added functions cover:compile_beam/1 and
cover:compile_beam_directory/0,1. These functions use
abstract code from existing beam files when cover compiling.
Added option html to
cover:analyse_to_file/1,2,3. Instead of plain text,
a HTML file is generated with all uncovered lines colored
red.
Added functions cover:export/1,2 and
cover:import/1. These functions can be used to export
current coverage data to a file, and then import the data
in a later session. Data can be exported for one single
module or for all currently cover compiled modules.
Own Id: OTP-4702
-
Erlang mode for Emacs: Added function
erlang-align-arrows.
Own Id: OTP-4737
