[erlang-questions] Exprecs question

[Ulf Wiger]

For some definition of 'cleaner' and 'better', perhaps…

Given e.g.

https://github.com/esl/parse_trans/blob/master/examples/test_exprecs.erl

1> Wild = fun(Mod, R, Vars) -> Mod:'#set-'(Vars, Mod:'#set-'([{F,'_'} || F <- Mod:'#info-'(R, fields)], Mod:'#new-'(R))) end.
#Fun<erl_eval.18.82930912>

2> Wild(test_exprecs, r, [{b,foo}]).
{r,'_',foo,'_'}

BR,
Ulf W  ;-)
