After reading this question Is Erlang the C of the clustered computing world? , I am wondering the official Erlang OTP compiles with HiPE?
In other words, when I compile my .erl source with the OTP release R13 (as example), does it produce “object code” BEAM?
Looking at http://www.it.uu.se/research/group/hipe/ , it does not appear that a standalone HiPE compiler is maintained anymore.
By default HiPE is not used to compile OTP. It is known, however, that OTP libraries can be successfully compiled using HiPE with usually some performance boost (though it depends on your application).
When you run a
erlcon your.erlfile it produces BEAM file, which is NOT compiled to native code with HiPE. To compile an.erlfile to native code using HiPE just runerlc +native file.erl.Standalone HiPE compiler is not maintained anymore, since it was included into core Erlang/OTP distribution.
