[erlang-questions] core erlang ?

[Torbjorn Tornkvist]

I found the nice erlc switches +to_core and +from_core.
However, I get compiler error with +from_core using
the included program:

$ erlc +to_core add.erl
$ erlc +from_core add.core
./add.core:13: syntax error before: LITERAL

$ cat add.erl
-module(add).
-export([add/0,add/1,add/2]).

add() -> fun(X) -> add(X) end.
add(X) -> fun(Y) -> add(X,Y) end.
add(X,Y) -> X+Y.


Any ideas on what's going wrong ?

Cheers, Tobbe
