record_info_runtime Parse Transform

Provides the functions:

record_info_size/1
record_info_fields/1

Which are the runtime equivalent of:

record_info(fields, _)

The complete list of functions provided by the parse transform for runtime usage with a variable storing the atom record name is below:

• records/0 - List of all record names defined
• record_new/1 - Create a record with the defaults assigned
• record_info_size/1 - Provide the record size (same as erlang:tuple_size/1)
• record_info_fields/1 - Provide the record fields list (atom names for each record field)
• record_info_fieldtypes/1 - Provide the record fields paired with their types in a list of tuples
