Narrow down `atomvm.packbeam` warning
Hi,
I’m trying to build an atomvm image with atomvm.packbeam which gives me the following warnings:
Warning: following modules or functions are not available on AtomVM:
* Elixir.Macro:escape/1
* elixir_module:compile/6
I’m using an external library and I would like to track down where those calls are coming from, to understand what they are used for and whether I might run into problems down the row.
A search for those calls didn’t reveal anything. The library does use some macros, but those should (if my understanding is correct) be resolved at compile time. Of course the issue might come from some transient dependencies.
Is there a good way to figure out where those function calls are coming from?
Thanks for any ideas and help

I could track them both down with a lot of trial and error. Problem solved ![]()
The issues were (in one of the deps):
- Wrong use of
Macro.escapeinstead ofunquote - One module was using some
Code.loaded?,Code.ensure_loaded?,:code.purge, and:code.delete. Removing that part removed the second warning too.
Regarding the first one:
The code looked like the following:
defmacro __using__(opts) do
...
other = calc_something()
ast = create_ast()
quote bind_quoted: [other: other, ast: ast] do
Macro.escape(ast)
func(other)
...
end
end
The tricky part is that removing the ast: ast from the bind_quoted and doing an explicit unquote(ast) didn’t work. Only by removing the whole bind_quoted did the trick, i.e. the following worked:
defmacro __using__(opts) do
...
other = calc_something()
ast = create_ast()
quote do
unquote(ast)
func(unquote(other))
...
end
end

I’ll comment on your PR. That’s probably easier
