[newbie] spawn-ed functions always exported?

[Joe Armstrong (AL/EAB)]

    Yes.

    Replace 
		spawn(Mod, Func, [Arg1,Arg2,...,Argn]) 

    with
		spawn(fun() -> Mod:Func(Arg1,Arg2,...,Argn) end)


   Example:

Old way

    -module(foo).

    -export([a/0, b/2]).

    a() -> spawn(?MODULE, b, [1,2]).

    b(X, Y) -> 
	...

new way

    -module(foo).
    -export([a/0, b/2]).

    a() -> spawn(fun() -> b(1,2) end).

    b(X, Y) -> 
	...

Cheers

/Joe

(also for spawn_link)
