[erlang-patches] Put compile options from code into parse_transform/2 options variable

[Enrique Fernández Casado]

AFAIK, there is no way to specify per-transform options. So
all four compile options will end up in the "options" variable
of the two specified parse transforms. Exactly as if you had
compiled "dummy_module" as:

erlc "+{parse_transform, dummy_transform1}" "+{parse_transform,
dummy_transform2}" \
+dummy_transform_option +other_dummy_transform_option dummy_module.erl

If someone were to implement support for per-transform options,
it may be worth considering to add an (optional) third element to
the "parse_transform" compile option (i.e. {parse_transform, Module, Opts}).

Regards,
Enrique
