Subject: bug#4708: 23.1; completion-try-completion adds an extra $: $$HOMj
Date: Mon, 12 Oct 2009 12:05:32 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <E891DD6303114FE184F1FA4D2517DF4A@us.oracle.com> (raw)
emacs -Q
M-: (completion-try-completion "c:/some-dir/$HOMj" nil 16)
correctly returns: (c:/some-dir/$HOMEj" . 17)
M-: (completion-try-completion "c:/some-dir/$HOMj" nil 17)
returns: ("c:/some-dir/$$HOMj" . 18)
That doesn't seem correct. Is it correct to have $$ here? If so, can
you please explain it a bit (why)?
Also, if this is correct behavior, then please explain this in the doc
string of `completion-try-completion'. The doc string currently says
that STRING, in the return value of (STRING . NEWPOINT), is "the
completed result string". But "result string" cannot be right, if
we're talking about the result of completion. There is no completion
that contains $$HOM.
