Subject: `C-h f' doesn't show file where function comes from
Date: Fri, 05 Sep 2008 09:57:27 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <b4mhc8v2yvc.fsf@jpl.org> (raw)
Hi,
When I start Emacs with
emacs -Q -l wid-edit
and type
C-h f widget-button-press RET
Emacs 22.2.92 shows:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
widget-button-press is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `/local/share/emacs/22.2.92/lisp/wid-edit.elc'.
(widget-button-press pos &optional event)
Invoke button at pos.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
However, Emacs 23.0.60 shows:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
widget-button-press is an interactive compiled Lisp function.
(widget-button-press pos &optional event)
Invoke button at pos.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Why do those results differ? The way of Emacs 23.0.60 is
inconvenient to me. I need to evaluate (symbol-file 'FN) when I
want to know where the file providing the function definition is.
Regards,
