Binary/bitstring matching allows to dynamically define the
`size` of the binary in certain conditions:
* if the `size` variable is defined prior to the pattern
match:
iex> size = 8
iex> <<a::size(size), rest::binary>> = "hello"
iex> a
104
* if the `size` variable is matched within the same
binary/bitstring match, prior to its use:
iex> <<name_size::size(8), name::binary-size(name_size), _rest::binary>> = <<5, "Frank the Walrus">>
iex> name
"Frank"
Other cases are considered illegal patterns, for example:
{name_size, <<name::binary-size(name_size), _rest::binary>>} = {5, "Frank the Walrus"}
This commit raises a `CompileError: undefined variable ...` for such cases.
