List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Xref: quimby.gnus.org gmane.emacs.devel:1464 X-Report-Spam: http://spam.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel:1464 According to the doc string, Fsignal does not return, so neither does wrong_type_argument. However, looking at Fsignal, it can return -- and the code in wrong_type_argument definitely expects this to happen, so it can itself return a (valid) value. Fsignal can only return in the case of a quit. That code in wrong_type_argument is obsolete. Nowadays (and for about ten years), wrong_type_argument cannot return. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
