Fix overridden BIFs
The filters in a list comprehension can be guard expressions or an ordinary expressions. If a guard expression is used as a filter, an exception will basically mean the same as 'false': t() -> L = [{some_tag,42},an_atom], [X || X <- L, element(1, X) =:= some_tag] %% Returns [{some_tag,42}] On the other hand, if an ordinary expression is used as a filter, there will be an exception: my_element(N, T) -> element(N, T). t() -> L = [{some_tag,42},an_atom], [X || X <- L, my_element(1, X) =:= some_tag] %% Causes a 'badarg' exception when element(1, an_atom) is evaluated It has been allowed for several releases to override a BIF with a local function. Thus, if we define a function called element/2, it will be called instead of the BIF element/2 within the module. We must use the "erlang:" prefix to call the BIF. Therefore, the following code is expected to work the same way as in our second example above: -compile({no_auto_import,[element/2]}). element(N, T) -> erlang:element(N, T). t() -> L = [{some_tag,42},an_atom], [X || X <- L, element(1, X) =:= some_tag]. %% Causes a 'badarg' exception when element(1, an_atom) is evaluated But the compiler refuses to compile the code with the following diagnostic: call to local/imported function element/2 is illegal in guard
