Edoc crash when using macro with function

[Adam Lindberg-2]

Hi!

Running edoc:file/1 on test.erl with this content will result in a crash in edoc:

-module(test).

-export([f/0]).

-define(FUNC, f() -> ok).

?FUNC.



Seems edoc in R13B02 can't handle the macro on line 7.

1> edoc:file("test.erl"). test.erl: at line 7: syntax error before: '.'
** exception exit: error
     in function  edoc:'-check_forms/2-fun-0-'/2
     in call from lists:foreach/2
     in call from edoc:read_source/2
     in call from edoc_extract:source/3
     in call from edoc:read/2
     in call from edoc:file/2

Cheers,
Adam

Thanks, didn't make that connection with the documentation at all.

Follow up question: Is it possible to make edoc just skip those files? Right now it says that is is skipping them, but exits with an error anyway. I'd like it to generate the documentation for the modules that do work. Is that possible?

Cheers,
Adam

Yeah, it does. I am however running it in an eval argument to erl, so it crashes the whole node and produces a core dump. Not so nice.
