    Own Id: OTP-18815 Aux Id: PR-7780

Ftp 1.2

Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

  • Fixes the documentation for the ftp module and updates the typing of ftp functions that return errors.

    The documentation has been improved and the types of the functions are now read from source code, instead of being hard-coded in XML.

    Functions returning errors of the form {error, Reason :: 'ehost' | ...} are now similar to other modules, i.e., {error, Reason :: term()}. If one wants to understand the error, one must call the function ftp:formaterror({error, Reason}).

  • Remove deprecated functions in OTP-26

    Own Id: OTP-18541

Ftp 1.1.4

Improvements and New Features

  • Replace size/1 with either tuple_size/1 or byte_size/1

    The size/1 BIF is not optimized by the JIT, and its use can result in worse types for Dialyzer.

    When one knows that the value being tested must be a tuple, tuple_size/1 should always be preferred.

    When one knows that the value being tested must be a binary, byte_size/1 should be preferred. However, byte_size/1 also accepts a bitstring (rounding up size to a whole number of bytes), so one must make sure that the call to byte_size/ is preceded by a call to is_binary/1 to ensure that bitstrings are rejected. Note that the compiler removes redundant calls to is_binary/1, so if one is not sure whether previous code had made sure that the argument is a binary, it does not harm to add an is_binary/1 test immediately before the call to byte_size/1.
