(eval-when-compile (defvar edebug-active))
Stefan can clarify, but I understood his objection as meaning that if
somebody later added a function that assumed that `edebug-active' was
defined, then the compiler would no longer warn about that. It does
not look as if the `eval-when-compile' would change anything about
that.
Of course, even though (if (boundp 'edebug-active) edebug-active) is
equivalent in its effects to (and (boundp 'edebug-active) edebug-active)
it seems stylistically inferior, since it makes the intent and logical
structure less clear, especially as it interacts with `or'.
It seems that we can not win on both counts. In the latest patch I
sent, I followed Stefan's suggestion but put in a comment.
But I do not really have any strong opinion on the subject.
Sincerely,
Luc.
