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

[Ulf Wiger]

I have done a few things in this area:

When using the parse_trans transform functions, you can provide an option, either as a compile attribute in the code or added as an option to compile, to save a pretty-printed result or simply write the resulting forms to a file:

https://github.com/uwiger/parse_trans/blob/master/src/parse_trans.erl#L397

I haven’t exported parse_trans:option_value/3, but it’s fairly simple:
https://github.com/uwiger/parse_trans/blob/master/src/parse_trans.erl#L457

In another project, I played around with Igor for module inlining. Igor takes some options, which makes it awkward to use directly as a parse transform, so I wrote a wrapper:

https://github.com/Feuerlabs/exometer/blob/master/src/exometer_igor.erl

Ulf W
