Subject: bug#66991: Confusion in interactive-form with commands with bare interactive forms.
Date: Tue, 7 Nov 2023 16:38:51 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ZUpoGwHli-EqtLk8@ACM> (raw)
Hello, Emacs
Consider commands with no arguments, and do interactive-form on them:
(interactive-form 'x-print-frames-dialog) => (interactive "") # a primitive
(interactive-form 'universal-argument) => (interactive nil) # a native
compiled command.
The result is the same from a byte compiled command.
Write (defun foo () (interactive)) in *scratch*, and C-M-x to evaluate
it:
(interactive-form 'foo) => (interactive).
That's three different inconsistent ways of expressing "(interactive".
This is a bug. For consistency's sake, two of them must be incorrect.
I believe the correct one is the last of these, "(interactive)" which is
after all, what appears in the Lisp sources. The fix should be
relatively simple, in Finteractive_form in src/data.c
