[erlang-questions] string:to_float/1 behavior

[Torben Hoffmann]

If you want to find all the BIFs:

xref:start(s).
xref:add_release(s,"c:/Program\ Files/erl5.7.4/",[{builtins,true}]).
{ok,Bifs} = xref:q(s,"B").
Bifs.

Correct the path in the 2nd arg to xref:add_release/3 as appropriate.

Cheers,
Torben
