raise_undef_exception(Module,Function,Args)->no_return()
Types:
Module = Function = atom()
Args = list()
A (possibly empty) list of arguments Arg1,..,ArgN
Raises an undef exception with a stacktrace, indicating that Module:Function/N is undefined.
undefined_function(Module,Function,Args)->any()
Types:
Module = Function = atom()
Args = list()
A (possibly empty) list of arguments Arg1,..,ArgN
This function is called by the runtime system if a call is made to Module:Function(Arg1,..,ArgN)
and Module:Function/N is undefined. Notice that this function is evaluated inside the process
making the original call.
This function first attempts to autoload Module. If that is not possible, an undef exception is
raised.
If it is possible to load Module and function Function/N is exported, it is called.
Otherwise, if function '$handle_undefined_function'/2 is exported, it is called as
'$handle_undefined_function'(Function, Args).
Warning:
Defining '$handle_undefined_function'/2 in ordinary application code is highly discouraged. It is
very easy to make subtle errors that can take a long time to debug. Furthermore, none of the tools
for static code analysis (such as Dialyzer and Xref) supports the use of
'$handle_undefined_function'/2 and no such support will be added. Only use this function after
having carefully considered other, less dangerous, solutions. One example of potential legitimate
use is creating stubs for other sub-systems during testing and debugging.
Otherwise an undef exception is raised.
undefined_lambda(Module,Fun,Args)->term()
Types:
Module = atom()
Fun = function()
Args = list()
A (possibly empty) list of arguments Arg1,..,ArgN
This function is evaluated if a call is made to Fun(Arg1,..,ArgN) when the module defining the
fun is not loaded. The function is evaluated inside the process making the original call.
If Module is interpreted, the interpreter is invoked and the return value of the interpreted
Fun(Arg1,..,ArgN) call is returned.
Otherwise, it returns, if possible, the value of apply(Fun,Args) after an attempt is made to
autoload Module. If this is not possible, the call fails with exit reason undef.
