Keeping run-time code from running at compile-time

Keeping run-time code from running at compile-time

I'm having some compiling trouble. File B which requires file A fails to
compile because file A contains code that should not be run at
compile-time, just run-time.

I've distilled the essence into a tiny example. Save the attachments
with "K a" and then run the script doit. Right now, I'm getting the
output:

    [wohler@olgas:807]$ sh doit
    While compiling toplevel forms in file /tmp/b.el:
      !! error (("Shouldn't hit this when compiling"))
    Done
    Loading b (source)...
    Shouldn't hit this when compiling

I'd like to get the output:

    [wohler@olgas:807]$ sh doit
    Wrote /tmp/b.elc
    Done
    Loading b (source)...
    Shouldn't hit this when compiling

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Apologies. That was meant for help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org.
