Subject: bug#15836: 24.3; query-replace-regexp does not detect incorrect usage of \#
Date: Fri, 08 Nov 2013 11:24:14 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <877gcjmbsh.fsf@softax.com.pl> (raw)


I made mistake while entering regexp replacement, and got very
confusing error message.

Try the following: enter non-empty buffer and

   M-x query-replace-regexp
   ^
   \,(\#)

{ I  got this after correcting from earlier used \,(+ 1 \#)  }

Effect: 

   Symbol's function definition is void: replace-count

(which made me look for uninstalled libraries, spoiled files etc)

Expected effect:

   Some error pointing on regexp syntax.
