Macro Module Names

The use of macros in dynamic function calls should be avoided.

Exceptions

The use of ?MODULE is permitted in the form ?MODULE:func() because it's the common idiom for functions that should always pick up the latest version of the module when doing hot-code reloading.

Avoid

?MYMOD:myfunc()

mymod:?MYFUNC()

Prefer

mymod:myfunc()

Rationale

Using macros in dynamic function calls can obscure the intent of the code and hinder readability, static analysis, and refactoring tools. Macros expand at compile time and may introduce complexity or unexpected behavior when used as dynamic module or function references, making the code harder to reason about and debug.

Options

• None.
