-module(erl_internal).

%% Define Erlang bifs, guard tests and other internal stuff.
%%
%% NOTE: All guard_bif(), arith_op(), bool_op() and comp_op() must be
%%       defined in bif.tab as 'ubif', i.e bif without trace wrapper.
%%       
%%       Why?
%%       
%%       Because the compiler uses an optimized instruction for
%%       the call to these bifs, which when loaded gets a direct 
%%       entry pointer inserted into itself by the loader, 
%%       instead of a bif table index as for regular bifs.
%%       
%%       If tracing is enabled on these bifs, when a module is loaded, 
%%       the direct entry pointer inserted into the call instruction 
%%       will be pointing to the trace wrapper, so even if tracing is 
%%       disabled for bifs, the loaded module will call these bifs through 
%%       the trace wrappers.
%%       
%%       The call instruction in question does not give enough information
%%       to call trace match function {caller} for it to succeed 
%%       other then by chance, and the 'return_to' trace flag works just
%%       as bad, so both will mostly say that the caller is 'undefined'. 
%%       Furthermore the calls to these bifs will still generate
%%       trace messages from the loaded module even if tracing is disabled 
%%       for them, and no one knows what else might be messed up.
%%
%%       That's why!
