[erlang-questions] [ANN] Erlang/OTP 17.3 has been released

[Daniel Goertzen]

Very, very nice cleanup on the dirty nif API.  If I read it right, I can
now mark a nif as dirty with a single flag:

static ErlNifFunc nif_funcs[] = {
    {"open_device",     3, open_device},
    {"create_context",  0, create_context, ERL_NIF_DIRTY_JOB_CPU_BOUND},
    {"destroy_context", 1, destroy_context, ERL_NIF_DIRTY_JOB_IO_BOUND}
};
