[erlang-questions] Error from on_load function of NIF module

[Abhishek Singh]

I was able to overcome this error by copying macro statements from below
link:

https://github.com/couchbase/couchdb/blob/master/src/couchdb/priv/couch_ejson_compare/couch_ejson_compare.c#L486-L493

Not sure what exactly it does, would be useful if somebody could throw some
light on it.
