bug#19077: 25.0.50; New Semantic completion-at-point-functions should fail silently

[Christoph Ruegge]

A recent change to CEDET introduced three new functions called
semantic-analyze-...-completion-at-point-function. In buffers not
supported by Semantic, they do not simply return nil but instead fail
with the error message "Cannot analyze buffers not supported by
Semantic". This is particularly annoying in combination with
company-mode's backend company-capf.

Thanks for the report, should be fixed now.
