Erlang maps can share a tuple of keys to reduce memory usage.
I found that when creating identical structures using the %Struct{...} syntax, the created structures do not share keys tuple.
But if you modify an already created default structure instead of creating a new one, the keys will be shared.
defmodule Struct do
defstruct [:a, :b, :c, :d]
end
defmodule Test do
def run() do
Enum.map(0..1000, &%Struct{a: &1, b: &1, c: &1, d: &1})
|> :erts_debug.size()
|> IO.puts()
Enum.map(0..1000, &%{%Struct{} | a: &1, b: &1, c: &1, d: &1})
|> :erts_debug.size()
|> IO.puts()
end
end
Test.run()
Output
16016
10016
Is that %Struct{...} behavior a flaw or is it intentional?

When creating maps it’s probably cheaper to not look at other maps in memory to see if their keys align. For updates the beam however knows that the keys are the same.
The beam is completely unaware of the fact that structs in elixir enforce the same set of keys.
