+ Description +

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.

+ +

(For the sake of keeping the example as simple as possible, the functions are not very complicated in this case).

+

Preferably we would like to able to call foo and bar without having to bother about them actually being C functions.

+
+% Erlang code
+...
+Res = complex:foo(X),
+...
+

The communication with C is hidden in the implementation of complex.erl. In the following chapters it is shown how this module can be implemented using the different interoperability mechanisms.
