[erlang-questions] Using the half-word emulator with the erlang-solutions ubuntu package

[Konrad Gądek]

Hi,

As far as I'm aware, we don't have half-word emulator enabled in our packages, so this seems like an erroneous statement on ESL website -- I'll investigate it more tomorrow.

Both disabling HiPE and enabling half-word emulator are done while building packages. Some more info: http://stackoverflow.com/a/1185490/547223

Hi, 

The page on the erlang-solutions website says that the packages support the half-word emulator: 
https://www.erlang-solutions.com/downloads 
"These have included HiPE enabled, 32 and 64 bit configurations, alongside the half-word emulator" 

I see [hipe] when starting the shell so half-word is probably not enabled. 
I'm not using hipe so there is no problem disabling it. 

Do I need to set a flag when installing the deb package? 
Do I need to use a flag when starting erlang or creating a release with rebar in the vm.args? 


Are there reasons not to use half-word besides the 4GB process memory limit? 



Thanks
