- <p>A common interoperability situation is when there exists a piece of code solving some complex problem, and we would like to incorporate this piece of code in our Erlang program. Suppose for example we have the following C functions that we would like to be able to call from Erlang.</p>
- <codeinclude file="complex.c" tag="" type="none"></codeinclude>
- <p>(For the sake of keeping the example as simple as possible, the functions are not very complicated in this case).</p>
- <p>Preferably we would like to able to call <c>foo</c> and <c>bar</c> without having to bother about them actually being C functions.</p>
