Hi All,
I'm trying to get some dates subtracted of date parts (months) and using
`decoded-time-add', `decode-time', and `make-decoded-time', following
the Elisp manual for the purpose.
In the manual "Time Conversion" section we find the following example
for the `decoded-time-add' function (I just added the required library):
(require 'time-date)
(let ((time (decode-time nil nil t))
(delta (make-decoded-time :month 2)))
(encode-time (decoded-time-add time delta)))
Evaluating this, we get the message:
obsolete timestamp with cdr 1 [2 times]
Being less strict in the decoded time format:
(let ((time (decode-time))
(delta (make-decoded-time :month 2)))
(encode-time (decoded-time-add time delta)))
We get:
obsolete timestamp with cdr 1 [10 times]
(This was evaluated on an "emacs -Q" session).
I'm not sure if this is a documentation problem, and I just failed to
find a way to satisfy `decoded-time-add', or if there is an actual
underlying issue. I think the latter is the case though. As we see
from the above examples, we can reduce the number of issued messages by
specifying the FORM argument to `decode-time' so that it returns the
seconds in (TICKS . HZ) form. I'm somewhat surprised that
`decoded-time-add' is so picky as to not accept the default return value
from `decode-time', but I don't know these functions enough to make much
of a stance about this. Besides, though I may be missing something, I
could not find a way to specify (TICKS . HZ) form to
`make-decoded-time', so that `decoded-time-add' still complains even if
we use `(decode-time nil nil t)'.
A little side report of what is likely just a typo in the manual. The
following example in the same section of the manual for the
`decode-time' function:
(setf (decoded-time-year decoded-time)
(+ (decoded-time-year decoded-time) 4))
results in:
let*: Symbol’s value as variable is void: decoded-time
Best regards,
Gustavo.

I can reproduce this in emacs-28.2, but not in Emacs 29, so I think this
has been fixed for the next release.

Well, you have to set the variable `decoded-time' to something first.

Thank you for looking into this, and even better it is already fixed.

Oops, my bad. Understood.
Best regards,

Hi,
For the record. On Emacs 27.1 this happens when evaluating the following
expression:
(time-add '(0 . 1) 1)
