 Fix crash (segfault) in etags on generating  tags for Erlang files
Date: Tue, 08 Dec 2020 11:34:25 +0000

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi,

This is a trivial patch to fix segfault occurring when generating tags for Erlang source files.


Steps to reproduce:

 1. $ wget https://erlang.org/download/otp_src_23.1.tar.gz  (~85 Mb)
 2. $ tar -xf otp_src_23.1.tar.gz
 3. $ etags otp_src_23.1/lib/*/src/*.erl
   Segmentation fault (core dumped)
