When I define successive functions that return a string I get the error:
unexpected reserved word: end
HINT: it looks like the "end" on line 3 does not have a matching "do" defined before it
(elixir 1.14.0) lib/kernel/parallel_compiler.ex:346: anonymous fn/5 in Kernel.ParallelCompiler.spawn_workers/7
The error refers to line 3 of this function:
defmodule ModuleA do
@start "@"
@end "#"
defmacro start, do: @start
defmacro end, do: @end
end
However, the error also occurs in a simpler setup, like:
defmodule ModuleB do
def start, do: "@"
def end, do: "#"
end
The error does not occur in a module with only one function that returns a string.
defmodule ModuleC do
def start, do: "@"
end
I reckon it something small I am overlooking, but it bugs me that I don’t understand why it fails. Any ideas?

Because
endis a reserved word?from: Syntax reference — Elixir v1.12.3
benwilson512
Yeah as @patrickdm notes
endis reserved, I would pick a different function / macro name. Even if you can successfully construct a function / macro namedendit’s going to be very difficult to call.coen.bakker
Oh boy. I knew that. Must be tired.
Makes all sense now. Thank you!
