I believe this information best comes from runtime. So you should rather start the application and then traverse the supervision tree, collecting information like children PIDs, names, behaviours and so on. That should be interporable too and it is pretty close to how observer works.
I think relying on the module attributes is quite limited because you cannot rely build the hierarchy from it. Generating a graph could be useful but I don't see how it would be superior in anyway to observer. *José Valim* www.plataformatec.com.br Skype: jv.ptec Founder and Director of R&D On Fri, Jun 24, 2016 at 9:18 PM, Chris Keele <[email protected]> wrote: > It'd be pretty cool if it could just run on compiled BEAM source code! > That'd make it erlang interoperable too. > > The relations between them is the challenge.
