[erlang-questions] Illegal Guard?

[Rad Gruchalski]

It’s explained here: http://erlang.org/doc/reference_manual/expressions.html#id83710  
The set of valid guard expressions (sometimes called guard tests) is a subset of the set of valid Erlang expressions. The reason for restricting the set of valid expressions is that evaluation of a guard expression must be guaranteed to be free of side effects.










Kind regards,
