Description

These are meant for debugging, so we can put off implementing them for awhile unless we need them to check our own work or someone asks for them.

  • pid_to_list/1
  • process_info/1
  • process_info/2
  • process_display/2

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the BEAM specification for process info BIFs and examine how similar BIFs are implemented in the firefly codebase. Implement the missing functions: pid to list/1, process info/1, process info/2, process display/2.
