Subject: bug#65092: 30.0.50; C-h f shows malformed description for vc-mode
Date: Sat, 05 Aug 2023 14:25:11 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <m1sf8xn33c.fsf@eshelyaron.com> (raw)


I seems to have stumbled upon an issue with type inference on the master
branch that causes `describe-function` to display the following
malformed description for the function `vc-mode`:

    vc-mode is a native-compiled Lisp function in ‘vc-hooks.el’.

    (vc-mode &optional ARG)

    Inferred type: (function (&optional t) (member Version Control minor
    mode.  This minor mode is automatically activated whenever you visit a
    file under control of one of the revision control systems in
    `vc-handled-backends'.  VC commands are globally reachable under the
    prefix `\[vc-prefix-map]': \{vc-prefix-map}))

    Version Control minor mode.
    This minor mode is automatically activated whenever you...

To reproduce, do `C-h f vc-mode RET` in `emacs -Q`.

Basically, it looks like the inferred type somehow includes the
function's docstring verbatim:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(comp-function-type-spec 'vc-mode)
=> ((function (&optional t) (member "Version Control minor mode.
This minor mode is automatically activated whenever you visit a file under
control of one of the revision control systems in `vc-handled-backends'.
VC commands are globally reachable under the prefix `\\[vc-prefix-map]':
\\{vc-prefix-map}")) . inferred)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
