From the article:
[n2] This section is also why one must beware
of long-running NIFs. They do not per default
preempt, nor do they bump the reduction counter.
So they can introduce latency in your system.
The OP calls them NIFs, but it is essentially what you are saying.
- grating 14y agoA NIF isn't the same thing as a BIF. NIFs where introduced in R13B03 and are in short, user-code written in C. BIFs on the other hand are built-ins implemented in a completely different manner.
