[erlang-questions] Self referencing records.

[Julio César Carrascal Urquijo (MCTS)]

Hi,

Is it possible at all to create a record that references it self? The
following obviously doesn't work and I understand why but I'd like to
know if there's a work around.

-record(object, {class, props}).

test() ->
    T = #object{class='Object', props=dict:new()},
    T#object.props = dict:append("this", T, T#object.props),
    T.

Thanks
