#6 Add Elixir Support

[Anonymous]

Add support for Elixir (http://elixir-lang.org).

Has the same comment type as Ruby and CoffeeScript.

(I'm the same guy that sent patches for the CoffeeScript syntax support)

Patch applied with svn commit 419. Thanks for the contribution.

I did an svn checkout and installed into $HOME/bin, but elixir files aren't recognized:

$ touch foo.ex
$ touch foo.exs
$ cloc foo.ex foo.exs
       0 text files.
       0 unique files.                              
       2 files ignored.

$ which cloc
/home/nobbz/bin/cloc

$ cloc --version
1.63

Even on a project with realworld files, elixir files are ignored:

$ cloc **/*.{ex,exs}
      28 text files.
      28 unique files.                              
      28 files ignored.

For exact reference the output of svn info in clocs sourcedir:

Regarding the zero-sized files created with touch, cloc will always ignore those (ref the explanation with the --ignored=reason.txt option).

To get some real Elixir code I downloaded
https://github.com/elixir-lang/elixir/archive/master.zip using the
"Download ZIP" button at https://github.com/elixir-lang/elixir then
ran cloc against the zip file:

./cloc elixir-master.zip 
     461 text files.
     461 unique files.                                          
      38 files ignored.

Can you try with the same zip file? Alternatively, could you post one or more of your .ex and/or .exs files?
