Subject: bug#43678: 27.1; compiler warning if code forgets to require cl-lib
Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2020 20:11:27 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <10063.90714.979619.24434@gargle.gargle.HOWL> (raw)
Until earlier today, several files in bbdb did not require cl-lib,
when they should have done that. Nonetheless, bbdb compiled fine
with emacs 25 and 26, but not anymore with emacs 27, see bug #30635.
The goal when fixing #30635 was to issue a warning if a library uses
cl-lib without requiring it. The problem with bbdb was, however,
that instead the emacs 27 byte compiler threw a rather unhelpful
error message about the cause of the problem. For bbdb-tex.el, it
said
In bbdb-TeX:
bbdb-tex.el:414:25:Error: Forgot to expand macro cl-progv in ( ...
I suggest that the byte compiler should issue a more helpful warning
about the cause of the problem.
In GNU Emacs 27.1 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.18.9)
of 2020-08-31 built on regnitz
