<br>
I do have a parse transform that replaces the body of a 0-arity function with its result, as evaluated at compile time.<br>
I am looking for a way to avoid an opaque violation warning from dialyzer when this function returns, say, a gb_sets:set(). The spec is properly copied into the parsed tree, but dialyzer just ignores it.<br>
<br>
Typically, such a function would load data from a file and create a gb_sets:set() from this data.<br>
<br>
-spec f() -> gb_sets:set(unicode:unicode_<wbr>binary()).<br>
f() -><br>
{ok, Content} = file:read_file(?FILENAME),<br>
List0 = binary:split(Content, <<"\n">>, [global]),<br>
List1 = lists:filter(fun(W) -> W =/= <<>> end, List0),<br>
gb_sets:from_list(List1).<br>
<br>
With the parse_transform, dialyzer complains on usage, e.g. :<br>
<br>
[warning] some_module.erl:123 the call gb_sets:add(<VALUE>,Var::{1..<wbr>1114111,{_,_,_}}) does not have an opaque term of type gb_sets:set(_) as 2nd argument<br>
<br>
Yet, of course, some_module.erl does not violate the opacity of gb_sets:set() itself.<br>
I can trick dialyzer with an expensive identity function:<br>
<br>
gb_sets:add(Value, binary_to_term(term_to_binary(<wbr>Var)))<br>
<br>
Any better idea?<br>
<br>
