Subject: bug#1723: 23.0.60; Odd behaviour with #'check-coding-systems-region
Date: Sun, 28 Dec 2008 17:20:58 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <18775.46458.207909.501459@parhasard.net> (raw)
Hi!
Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.
Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org mailing list.
Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
The check-coding-systems-region docstring says this:
(check-coding-systems-region start end coding-system-list)
Check if the region is encodable by coding systems.
start and end are buffer positions specifying the region.
coding-system-list is a list of coding systems to check.
The value is an alist ((CODING-SYSTEM POS0 POS1 ...) ...), where
CODING-SYSTEM is a member of coding-system-list and can't encode the
whole region, POS0, POS1, ... are buffer positions where non-encodable
characters are found.
If all coding systems in coding-system-list can encode the region, the
value is nil.
[...]
It is unclear to me what "value" means there. My provisional
assumption was that it meant "return value", but that doesn't reflect
the behaviour of the function:
(with-temp-buffer (insert "a") (check-coding-systems-region (point-min) (point-max) '(iso-8859-1)))
=> t
;; That would have been nil, not t, were my assumption correct.
(with-temp-buffer (insert "\u20ac") (check-coding-systems-region (point-min) (point-max) '(iso-8859-1)))
=> ((iso-8859-1 1))
Is the docstring wrong? Is the behaviour wrong? Is my understanding of the
docstring wrong? Whichever way, something needs to be fixed, I am a
generally- and technically-literate native speaker of English and if I have
misunderstood it, other people will too.
A pre-emptive happy New Year to you all,
Aidan
