[erlang-questions] case expression scope

[Tony Rogvall]

Of course. use list comprehensions! or?

This is kind of fun. Check the generated beam code for this module (using R16B02 right now)

-module(compcase).
-compile(export_all).
-compile(inline).
-compile({inline_size, 100}).
-compile({inline_unroll, 2}).

f(X,Y) ->
    [A] = [case {X,Y} of 
	       {0,Q} -> Q; 
	       {P,Q} -> P+Q 
	   end || _ <- [[]]],
    [B] = [case {X,Y} of 
	       {0,Q} -> Q; 
	       {P,Q} -> P*Q 
	   end || _ <- [[]]],
    {A,B}.


g(X,Y) ->
    A = fun({0,Q}) -> Q; 
	    ({P,Q}) -> P+Q 
	 end({X,Y}),
    B = fun({0,Q}) -> Q; 
	   ({P,Q}) -> P*Q
	end({X,Y}),
    {A,B}.

"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"
