Emacs build fail while bootstrapping (error in byte-compilation of verilog-mode.el)

[Aurélien Aptel]

Hi,

I can't compile master (7cc233e1e3):

$ find -iname '*.o' -delete
$ find -iname '*.elc' -delete
$ rm -rf config.status configure config.log *~ src/emacs src/temacs
autom4te.cache
$ ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make -j8 bootstrap
... long output...
In toplevel form:
progmodes/verilog-mode.el:3335:1:Error: Symbol’s function definition
is void: \,@
Makefile:268: recipe for target 'progmodes/verilog-mode.elc' failed
make[3]: *** [progmodes/verilog-mode.elc] Error 1
make[3]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

In sql-end-of-statement:
progmodes/sql.el:2781:31:Warning: looking-back called with 1 argument, but
    requires 2-3
make[3]: Leaving directory '/home/knarf/prog/c/emacs/emacs/lisp'

Makefile:1087: recipe for target 'bootstrap' failed
make: *** [bootstrap] Error 2

verilog-mode.el:3335 is empty but just before it there is this macro definition:

(defmacro verilog-save-scan-cache (&rest body)
  "Execute the BODY forms, allowing scan cache preservation within BODY.
This requires that insertions must use `verilog-insert'."
  ;; If the buffer is out of date, trash it, as we'll not check later the tick
  ;; Note this must work properly if there's multiple layers of calls
  ;; to verilog-save-scan-cache even with differing ticks.
  `(progn
     (unless (verilog-scan-cache-ok-p)   ; Must be before let
       (setq verilog-scan-cache-tick nil))
     (let* ((verilog-scan-cache-preserving (current-buffer)))
       (progn ,@body))))

If anyone has an idea...

I think commit 353f5e76641c3 introduced the problem. I can build before it.

I saw a patch to fix this, because someone had used ,@ outside of a backquoted
block. Is this still a problem for you?
