[erlang-bugs] inline & inline_effort

THAT WAS NOT FUNNY :-)

I do not see what low level transformation has to do with anything in 
the example I sent. It is just a plain module that illustrate some problem
with an undocumented feature that I found looking through the code.
(Upping the default inline_effort from 24 to say 100 might have exposed it anyway)

In the inline transform that I am writing I read forms from the beam files compiled with debug_info
and then toss them into the module, cleaning and massaging a bit. It is not on core Erlang level at all.
And does not have to be. The rest is passed on to the regular compiler to work on.

Regards

/Tony

"Installing applications can lead to corruption over time. Applications gradually write over each other's libraries, partial upgrades occur, user and system errors happen, and minute changes may be unnoticeable and difficult to fix"
