[erlang-questions] Why does Dialyzer crash on this map?

Dear Dave

Thanks for your help.  Here are some more details:


*** OS: FreeBSD 10.0-RELEASE

$ uname -a
FreeBSD simba 10.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 10.0-RELEASE #0 r260789: Thu Jan 16 
22:34:59 UTC 2014 root@REDACTED:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64

Upgrading to 10.1 is on my todo list.


*** Erlang version now 17.3_3,3

$ pkg info erlang
erlang-17.3_1,3
...
$ sudo pkg upgrade
...

$ pkg info erlang
erlang-17.3_3,3
...


*** Errors persist

Upgrading erlang has not changed behaviour.

A couple more observations:

1. Running dialyzer on the module dt below gets the error as noted 
previously.  However, if I uncomment the '%% ok' line, dialyzer will 
process the module with no problems.

     -module(dt).
     -export([get_map/0]).

     -spec get_map() -> map().
     get_map() ->
         #{labels => [one, two],
           number => 27,
%%          [1,2,3] => wer,        %% ok
           kvok => #{
                 a => qwe,
                 2 => asd,
                 [1,2,3] => wer,  %% bad
                 {4,5,6} => sdf,  %% bad
                 "abc" => zxc
            }
          }.

     $ dialyzer dt.erl
       Checking whether the PLT /home/ivan/.dialyzer_plt is 
up-to-date... yes
       Proceeding with analysis...
     =ERROR REPORT==== 27-Nov-2014::12:17:02 ===

     Last messages in the log cache:

2. Running dialyzer on the module dt2 below raises the warning 
following.  Uncommenting the '%% ok' line has no effect.

     -module(dt2).
     -export([get_map/0]).

     -spec get_map() -> map().
     get_map() ->
         X = #{labels => [one, two],
           number => 27,
%%          [1,2,3] => wer,        %% ok
           kvok => #{
                 a => qwe,
                 2 => asd,
                 [1,2,3] => wer,  %% bad
                 {4,5,6} => sdf,  %% bad
                 "abc" => zxc
            }
          },
         X.

     $ dialyzer dt2.erl
       Checking whether the PLT /home/ivan/.dialyzer_plt is 
up-to-date... yes
       Proceeding with analysis...
     dt2.erl:5: Function get_map/0 has no local return
      done in 0m0.41s
     done (warnings were emitted)

Best wishes

Ivan
