Adam Kocoloski commented on COUCHDB-765:
----------------------------------------
Hi Volker, just to clarify, that's not strictly a cosmetic change. A call to
M:F(A) always uses the newest version of the code in the VM, while a call to
F(A) uses whatever version is running when the call is made. The difference is
critically important for hot-code loading in the case of a server loop
function, e.g. if you do
loop(State) ->
...
loop(State).
you'll never load a new version of the code, but if you do
loop(State) ->
...
?MODULE:loop(State).
you'll get the new version automatically when the loop recurses.
Of course, it doesn't make any difference in this case, as hot-code loading is
not an issue for those functions. Thanks for the patch.
