Erlang/OTP R14B01 has been released

[Zvi]

RE: OTP-8865  Code such as foo(A) -> <<A:0>> would crash the compiler.

It seems that compiler will totally ignore type of A in this case:

Eshell V5.8.2  (abort with ^G)
1> F = fun(A) -> <<A:0>> end.
#Fun<erl_eval.6.13229925>
2>
2> F(0).
<<>>
3> F(1).
<<>>
4> F(10000).
<<>>
5> F(1.4).
<<>>
6> F(add).
<<>>
7> F(kuku).
<<>>
8>
8> F("adfd").
<<>>
9>
9> F({1,2}).
<<>>
10>

same for:

Eshell V5.8.2  (abort with ^G)
1>
1>
1> A = 0.
0
2> <<A:0>>.
<<>>
3>
3> <<({1,2,3}):0>>.
<<>>
4> <<([1,2,3]):0>>.
<<>>
5> <<"hello":0>>.
** exception error: bad argument
6> <<("hello"):0>>.
** exception error: bad argument
7> <<1.6:0>>.
<<>>
8> <<(fun()-> ok end):0>>.
<<>>
9> <<(self()):0>>.
<<>>
