[erlang-questions] How handle Error in Dialyzer

[Lutz Behnke]

Hi,

I meant 'large' when compared to a piece of code of maybe 1-3 modules 
that would be ideal to provoke the error for further analysis.

You are right regarding the module dim_3_tree_map. I had not identified 
it as the culprit, as it does not follow the naming convention of the 
application and did not recognized it as one of ours.

And due to the unfamiliar form of the error messages, I did not 
initially consider the code under test to be the culprit.
