no function clause matching became no case clause matching exception

[Dieter Schön]

Hi Frans,


I tested all my installed versions, from 19. onwards, with this neat 
feature of asdf:

for v in $(asdf list erlang); do

   asdf shell erlang $v

   echo $v

   erlc lico.erl

   erl -s lico -s init stop

done

It crashes all the time.

I think the reason for the crash is that atoms b and c do not 
pattern-match with the atom a in the fun definition.


So probably you had different data in your previous, successful tests?

A question from me: is there a way to define a lambda with different 
function clauses?

In general, I would think, it is not advisable. When the lambda gets 
complicated, I use a statically defined function..


Kind regards,

Dieter
