Subject: bug#71382: 30.0.50; [WISHLIST] loaddefs-generate--make-autoload should expose variables which can be added to
Date: Wed, 05 Jun 2024 06:40:26 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <871q5bpt9h.fsf@parenthetic.dev> (raw)
When improving EXWM, we wanted to write a macro which expanded to
a global minor mode definition. However, adding an ;;;###autoload
cookie did not generate the proper autoloads because
loaddefs-generate--make-autoload had no way of knowing our macro
needed to be expanded first. It would be nice if these lists in
loaddefs-generate--make-autoload could be moved out into a
variable, so it can be added to programmatically:
;; For complex cases, try again on the macro-expansion.
((and (memq car '(easy-mmode-define-global-mode
define-global-minor-mode
define-globalized-minor-mode defun defmacro
easy-mmode-define-minor-mode define-minor-mode
define-inline cl-defun cl-defmacro
cl-defgeneric
cl-defstruct pcase-defmacro iter-defun
cl-iter-defun))
(macrop car)
;; For special function-like operators, use the `autoload'
function.
((memq car '(define-skeleton define-derived-mode
define-compilation-mode define-generic-mode
easy-mmode-define-global-mode define-global-minor-mode
define-globalized-minor-mode
easy-mmode-define-minor-mode define-minor-mode
cl-defun defun* cl-defmacro defmacro*
define-overloadable-function
transient-define-prefix transient-define-suffix
transient-define-infix
transient-define-argument))
That would prevent another package like transient from having to
patch loaddefs-gen.el directly.
