[erlang-questions] Passing a digraph between processes on the same node

[Steve Davis]

Hi,

Somehow I’m not seeing why the following fails:

-module(gtest).
 
-export([test/0]).
 
test() ->
                Test = self(),
                spawn(fun() -> graph(Test) end),
                receive
                {ok, G} ->
                                digraph:vertices(G)
                after 5000 ->
                                timeout
                end.
 
graph(Pid) ->
                G = digraph:new(),
                digraph:add_vertex(G),
                Pid ! {ok, G}.

…since the backing ets table is “protected" by default, shouldn’t the calling process be able to read the values set by the process that builds the digraph?

(It’s probably trivial and me being dumb).

ty for your time,

/s
