Subject: check argument count in defcustom :safe?
Date: Sat, 11 Apr 2015 10:42:32 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <85a8yehdsn.fsf@stephe-leake.org> (raw)
I have changed the signature of a defcustom variable; it used to require
a function taking 2 args, now it takes 3. So I'd like to have the :safe
predicate check the argument count, not just `functionp'.
The argument count is only available for byte-compiled functions, so I'd
have to skip that check for non-compiled. But most of the time, the
check will be useful.
The low-level C code that executes byte code checks the argument count,
but I don't see any way to access the argument count from lisp. Am I
missing something?
To be specific, here's the defcustom:
(defcustom ada-case-identifier 'ada-mixed-case
"..."
:type '(choice (const ada-mixed-case)
(const ada-lower-case)
(const ada-upper-case))
:group 'ada
:safe 'functionp)
What can I add to the :safe expression to check the argument count?
