encoding of lisp/language/devan-util.el

encoding of lisp/language/devan-util.el

[Alex Schroeder]

I cannot make bootstrap, because devan-util.el gives me a parse error
(parenthesis missing).  When I open the file, and move down to defvar
dev-char-glyph, I can see the problem:  the cdr of the second element
in the alist is corrupt (using \e for escape): "\e$,4 K")\e(B" -- the
quote after the K closes the string, etc.

Obviously the file is not being decoded correctly.  Calling M-x
describe-coding-system returns:

Coding system for saving this buffer:
  J -- iso-2022-7bit-unix
Default coding system (for new files):
  1 -- iso-latin-1 (alias: iso-8859-1 latin-1)

This looks ok.  What is the problem, then?

At first I thought this is due to my locale:  LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-1
But even when I export LANG=C and use emacs -q the problem persists.

Alex.

I can't reproduce that with an emacs updated this morning, it can
correctly decode the file.  Are you sure it's not some kind of corruption
on your side?

/home/alex/src/emacs/lisp/language $ rm devan-util.el
/home/alex/src/emacs/lisp/language $ cvs update devan-util.el
U devan-util.el

When I edit the file, same problem.

I am currently using the pretest.  Could you try again with Emacs
21.2?  Perhaps this is a decoding issue that has been solved in the
CVS version?

Looks like, I can reproduce it with the RC branch.

Well, in order to continue I really had to remove the following three files:

lisp/language/devan-util.el
lisp/language/mlm-util.el
lisp/language/tml-util.el

Unfortunately, some time later I got this error, which I will
investigate now...

Loading loaddefs.el (source)...
Symbol's function definition is void: defmacro*

In HEAD, we introduced a new charset and devan-util.el of
HEAD contains those characters.  Thus, of course, RC can't
read that file correctly.

Ok, that explains why I cannot read the file with my RC Emacs.
Thanks.  I will investigate further why it seems that I cannot build
Emacs from CVS.

I did not find the answer.  Removing my CVS tree and doing a fresh
checkout resolved all problems.  Oh well.
