2016-12-19Shorten the tail-recursion mythBjörn Gustavsson
The myth about tail recursion being faster than body recursion still seems to be alive, but we don't need to spend that much space discussing it as we needed earlier. Shorten the discussion and include a link to to Fred Hebert's excellent blog post.
2016-12-15Add a myth about NIFsBjörn Gustavsson
Thanks to Max Lapshin for suggesting this myth.

2016-10-04Fix reference to automatic `undefined` field declared types.Doug Rohrer
In 8ce35b287fb50a6845fccf6a13c672aae303dc91 automatic insertion of `undefined` for record fields without initializers was removed, but this was not noted in the documentation. Add a warning about this change using similar verbiage as the original docs.

2016-09-19Use more correct delimiters for erl_nif.h includeTuncer Ayaz
Anywhere but the beam sources we shouldn't #include "erl_nif.h", because what "erl_nif.h" does is: (1) fail to find it outside of -I dirs, (2) then treat it as if it was written like <erl_nif.h>. Using <erl_nif.h> skips (1). More information can be found in 6.10.2 of the C standard. Because the examples use "erl_nif.h", NIF projects in the Erlang ecosystem copy this verbatim and make the same mistake.
