[erlang-questions] Couldnt not get abstract code for:...

[Simsek Burak]

Hello,

 

When i try to analyze the folder that .beam files in, with dialyzer, it gives "could not get abstract code for /../....../.. Recompile with debug_info or analyze starting from source code" error.

What should i do?

 

Regards,

Burak

There are a whole lot of compilation flags existing to get more control over how a module is compiled. You can get a list of all of them in the Erlang documentation. The most common flags are:

-debug_info

Erlang tools such as debuggers, code coverage and static analysis tools will use the debug information of a module in order to do their work.

Hmm... let's see your options:

1. Re-create these .beam files by using the BEAM compiler option
debug_info. (You specify it as +debug_info to erlc.)

2. Analyze the .erl files that correspond to these .beam files.

Option #1 is typically easier (because you do not need to specify
possible define values or include paths) but it's your choice really.
