This patch adds a typer target to the Makefile. It makes it
easier for developers to start adding specs to the codebase. It
also as a build_plt target with the built-in applications typer
needs to analyze rebar.
This also includes the Erlang version in the generated PLT file.
typer and dialyzer targets use this file. Finally, the distclean
target removed the versioned PLT file.
Using code:set_path/1 with very large paths is very slow on larger
projects. On my mid-sized project, it seems to take around .4s per
call. Emulating the call with direct path removal (using
code:del_path/1) seems to be quite a lot faster.
If you happen to fetch a zip archive of the git repo and try to build
from that, you may, for example, ask erlc to build src/._rebar.erl.
._* are OS X resource forks and not real .erl files. This may also
happen with network filesystems on OS X. To fix that, limit the
files compiled by rebar to include only those which start with
a letter or a digit.
As mentioned in the OTP documentation, licensed customers may use
patched OTP installations where the otp_patch_apply tool adds a '**'
suffix as a flag saying the system consists of application versions from
multiple OTP versions. When we get such a version string, we drop the
suffix, as we cannot obtain relevant information from it as far as
tooling is concerned.
ensure any processes with a reference to an old user process as their
group leader are updated to use the new user process. this introduces a
slight delay at startup as the system must wait for the new processes
to be registered. there is a max wait period of three seconds (before
the shell command gives up and throws a timeout error)
fixes#314 ("rebar shell" somehow blocks using io:format in gen_server
handle_call)
Moves ct_extra_params to the end of the generated ct_run command.
This allows users to pass commands to the underlying emulator
using -erl_args. The included rt test demonstrates that it is
possible to pass an addtional option to ct_run and -erl_args at
the same time. Finally, the test executes in regular and verbose
modes because rebar constructs the ct_run command differently in
verbose mode.
