Subject: bug#24312: 25.1.50; doc string of `tags-query-replace' - wrong signature
Date: Fri, 26 Aug 2016 09:37:15 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cd145ac8-31c6-4e7c-bea2-2049eef1eb41@default> (raw)
The doc string refers to parameters that are not in the calling sequence
(signature).
The signature is wrong. It says this:
(tags-query-replace FROM TO &optional DELIMITED FILE-LIST-FORM)
But it should say this:
(tags-query-replace FROM TO &optional DELIMITED FILE-LIST-FORM
START END)
The doc string says this (correctly):
Fifth and sixth arguments START and END are accepted, for compatibility
with ‘query-replace-regexp’, and ignored.
The doc cannot reference optional args START and END unless they are in
the signature. It does not matter, for this, that they are ignored by
the function body.
The signature should be corrected as noted above. The doc is OK.
