From 02299dcd203c55d12238c95f1d028f06b90f1c1e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alison Schofield Date: Fri, 7 Aug 2026 15:10:03 -0700 Subject: docs: python: abi_regex: catch the right exception for a bad regex While validating recent CXL ABI documentation updates with get_abi.py, the 'undefined' mode was found to abort instead of reporting undocumented ABI entries. Older Python releases raise re.error, while newer releases expose re.PatternError. Catching the compatible re.error exception handles both cases. Use re.error so the scan continues and reports the remaining results.
