Clixir v0.4.0 Clixir.CodeWriter View Source

This module does the actual work of Clixir.__before_compile__/1. It writes out the C and GNU gperf code fragments which later on get combined to form the project's clixir executable.

Due to the nature of the system, re-compilation is mostly unavoidable: if we are called, then apparently the Elixir compiler decided that the Clixir-using module was out of date. We could go all smart and drop a hash over the C code on disk and check whether it was changed, but the executables we generate are small so recompilation is not a big issue. Therefore, we set things up so that recompilations happens rather often instead of trying to avoid it.
