[erlang-questions] how to dynamically create function to run in a different node

[Dror Mein]

thanks Ulf for the help,
just to rap things up, what I ended up doing was this:http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2008777/convert-a-string-into-a-fun

which If I understand is based on the same data types you told me about.Seeing the way a token and exprs of fun looks is very enlightening

Thank you!
so parse_transform is responsible of returning {M,F,A} where A is something I don't yet understand :).is there a way to turn {M,F,A} to fun?

Well, if you want to dispatch it to another node, using a (compiled) fun is problematic. This is the main reason why I used {erl_eval, exprs, [Exprs, Bindings]}.


Is there a simpler way to create a fun that can be run on a different node?

A fun can be run on a different node if the module it was compiled in has a compatible version (it doesn’t have to be the exact same version).
