[erlang-patches] Parallel Dialyzer

[Stavros Aronis]

Hi again,

After taking some early reviews into consideration, I have updated the
branch. It is now based on 'maint'.

  git fetch git://github.com/aronisstav/otp.git dialyzer-parallel

One of the major concerns about the parallel version is memory consumption.
There is now a fallback into the sequential mode that consumes a lot less
memory and is enabled if the machine you are running Dialyzer on has only
one logical processor or only one scheduler. Dialyzer supports the '+S <N>'
as an option to specify the number of schedulers, so if you are on a
multi-core you can activate the fallback by using "dialyzer +S 1 ...".
Otherwise the number of schedulers is equal to the number of logical
processors.

Regards,
Stavros
