[erlang-questions] Erlang and Memory management

[Roberto Ostinelli]

Dear list,

I'd like to know some inner insights on how memory is handled in Erlang.

Let's say that I build up a Binary term() in a gen_server, which I store in
its state, and then send it over to another gen_server which will also store
this term into its state.

My question is: will this Binary term occupy 2 * memory space or is there
some kind of pointer mechanism to handle it?

Thank you,

r.
