Are erlang refs unique between nodes/VM restarts?
问题 Documentation says that make_ref() -> ref() Returns an almost unique reference. The returned reference will re-occur after approximately 2 82 calls; therefore it is unique enough for practical purposes. But my eyes tell me that between VM restarts I could easily get the same ref: [~] erl Erlang R14B04 (erts-5.8.5) 1> make_ref(). #Ref<0.0.0.33> 2> make_ref(). #Ref<0.0.0.37> ^C [~] erl Erlang R14B04 (erts-5.8.5) 1> make_ref(). #Ref<0.0.0.33> So, how unique Erlang’s Refs are? Are they suitable
