That's what I've just done :D Core Erlang looks very verbose but quite<br>
regular & probably not difficult to generate.<br>

My questions now are:<br>

we all roll our own?<br>

Look at the cerl module. It's just a matter of generating the proper structure using those functions.<div class="im"><br>

Do read it. But to answer that question, compile:forms with from_core option.<br>

Core Erlang is an intermediate representation in the Erlang compiler<br>
- but also (afaik) a fairly well-defined/public one and one that is<br>
stable.<br>
I don't think you'll find much in the vein of tutorials. Try getting<br>
erlc to output the intermediate format, though, for a small program<br>
similar to what you'll be using it for.<br>

Thanks! I think I'll try and head in that direction. I've had a<br>
few goes at other methods (db lookup etc) and they're much slower<br>
than this "dynamic hardcoding"). I'll sniff around for Core Erlang<br>
tutorials.<br>

A thing which I discovered recently (in connection with<br>
mochiglobal) is that compiling code containing large binaries, or<br>
large amounts of binaries, is quite memory-intensive. As I<br>
recall it, the numbers were ~64 bytes of RAM per byte in a binary<br>
metal; twice as much if on a 64 bit emulator.<br>
Which means that if you want to compile modules containing (in<br>
sum) multimegabyte binaries, doing so from Erlang source or from<br>
full Erlang AST is a no-go. Iirc, it is feasible if starting<br>
from Core Erlang.<br>

Dear Anthony<br>
<br>
Thanks for your comment.<br>
<br>
Yes, that's exactly what the generated module is doing. The<br>
generated module has a single function with many clauses like<br>
this:<br>
<br>
f(<<"trigger", Rest/binary) -> ...<br>
<br>
This is why (as far as I can work out) the generated code has<br>
to be so big.<br>
<br>
I prefer the idea of generating and loading code to, say,<br>
updating a database table, because it seems faster and less<br>
likely to lead to bottlenecks.<br>
<br>
Best wishes<br>
<br>
Ivan<br>

Hello Ivan,<br>
<br>
Out of curiosity, what does it look like?<br>
<br>
Pattern matching on literal values in Erlang is done with<br>
a binary search over the sorted list of patterns, I am<br>
not sure this would play well with your use case even if<br>
the compilation didn't bring the VM down.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
