Erlang and C / C ++ integration status?

If we check the official documentation , we will find various ways of Erlang and C / C ++ interaction. A similar question was asked here in 2009 , and I would like to know how things have changed since then.

Is there any mature stable library that does all the dirty work of implementing binary protocols between Erlang and C? Is it ei or erl_interface and what is the difference between them?

I mean, this is apparently a fairly common problem, and I hope that someone has already successfully solved it, and there is no need to write your own Erlang port driver anymore, since most of it is common code.

PS I also found this library: EPAPI .

Nothing has changed significantly since 2009, the top answer from the question related to you is still correct.

NIFs have become less experimental since R14 and are actively used in some projects, but they are still incompatible with the HiPE compiler (native flag for compilation).
