Subject: bug#22955: 25.1.50; *Help* xref for generic methods broken
Date: Wed, 09 Mar 2016 12:16:56 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87pov4ffpj.fsf@ericabrahamsen.net> (raw)


If you `describe-function' on a generic method, the resulting *Help*
buffer shows the various implementations correctly. However,
clicking/RET on the implementation links fails with:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-number-of-arguments (lambda (fun file) (require (quote find-func)) (if (eq file (quote C-source)) (progn (setq file (help-C-file-name (indirect-function fun) (quote fun))))) (let ((location (find-function-search-for-symbol fun nil file))) (my-find-symbol-switch-to-buffer (car location)) (if (cdr location) (goto-char (cdr location)) (message "Unable to find location in file")))) 3)
  help-do-xref(nil (lambda (fun file) (require (quote find-func)) (if (eq file (quote C-source)) (progn (setq file (help-C-file-name (indirect-function fun) (quote fun))))) (let ((location (find-function-search-for-symbol fun nil file))) (my-find-symbol-switch-to-buffer (car location)) (if (cdr location) (goto-char (cdr location)) (message "Unable to find location in file")))) ((bbdb-db-load bbdb-db) "/home/eric/.emacs.d/bbdb/lisp/bbdb.el" cl-defmethod))
  help-button-action(#<marker (moves after insertion) at 276 in *Help*>)
  button-activate(#<marker (moves after insertion) at 276 in *Help*> nil)
  push-button(276)
  funcall-interactively(push-button 276)
  call-interactively(push-button nil nil)
  command-execute(push-button)

Basically, when `help-button-action' does this:

(help-do-xref nil
		(button-get button 'help-function)
		(button-get button 'help-args))

There are three 'help-args (the first arg is the specializer --
actually, maybe there as many args as there are specializers? don't
know), but the 'help-function only takes two args.

Hope that's enough to get it there!
