OTP-17514 Application(s): otp
Related Id(s): ERIERL-668
The configure stage now fails if the canonicalized host
value is equal to the canonicalized build value when
cross compiling. Previously the configure stage
succeeded and the cross build continued by overwriting
the bootstrap build results with cross build results
which caused failure to build Erlang code.

OTP-17421 Application(s): compiler
If a parse transform raised an exception using throw/1
or exit/1, the compiler would report that as an
internal compiler error, which would be confusing.
Amended to report that the parse transform failed.
OTP-17430 Application(s): compiler, stdlib
The failing call io:format("~p\n") would result in a
warning for line number 0 instead of the correct line
and column numbers. This has been corrected, and all
warnings for failing calls to io:format() has been
rephrased to make it clearer exactly what the problem
is.
OTP-17434 Application(s): compiler, stdlib
Related Id(s): GH-4772
When the options warn_missing_spec and export_all were
given, there would only be warnings for missing specs
for functions that had been explicitly exported using
an -export attribute.
OTP-17446 Application(s): compiler
Related Id(s): PR-4899
In rare circumstances, the compiler could emit an
incorrect warning for a term that was constructed but
never used.
OTP-17495 Application(s): compiler, erts
Related Id(s): PR-5153
Corrected bugs where builds were not reducible even
when the deterministic option was given. In particular,
modules with map literals with more than 32 elements
could cause this problem.
As part of this fix, the term_to_binary BIF now accepts
the option deterministic.
OTP-17505 Application(s): compiler, stdlib
Related Id(s): GH-4995
The MODULE and MODULE_STRING macros would always appear
to be defined (when tested by -ifdef), even though no
-module() declaration had been seen yet. Changed so
that -ifdef ?MODULE. will not consider ?MODULE defined
if -module() has not been previously seen.
OTP-17510 Application(s): compiler
Related Id(s): GH-5007
In a guard, not (X =:= true) would incorrectly evaluate
to false for non-boolean values of X.
OTP-17581 Application(s): compiler, stdlib
Related Id(s): PR-5141
When the deterministic option was given to the
compiler, the ?FILE macro would be expanded to full
path of the source file before the first include
directive and to base part of the filename after
include directive.
