Corrupted byte compiled files

Corrupted byte compiled files

Hi,

Certain of my .el files are incorrectly compiled. See the .elc
file with a long name.

More details : It seems that a part of the .elc file is missing
as if a part of the character strream was discarded. I cannot
figure out why.

But more suprisingly when renaming the file with a much more
shorter name everything goes well as if there was a limitation
in the file name length. I must point out that there are only
ascii characters composing the file name.

Moreover even with the long name the .el (uncompiled file) is
perfectly correct and load perfectly as well as the .elc
(compiled file) with the short name.

I had this problem with emacs 24.0.50 as well as witth
24.0.95. I should say that I am using these devloppeing
versions since I appreciate ieieio to be integrated in it. I
never had this compilation problem with emacs 23 but probalbly
never tried with so long file names. Moreover emacs 23 is no
longer available on my system to test. But if it could be
useful I can reinstall this stable version.

See examples attached.

Is there a limitation somewhere ? 

Regards 

Pierre

Indeed, I can reproduce it here, and also with Emacs-23.
I don't have time to dig into it now, tho, so please M-x
report-emacs-bug so it doesn't get lost.

  Does that mean that none never tried to compile file with
  long name before .... or that the problem does not come
  exclusively from the length of the name ....

  OK I'll do that. But since I now know that there is really a
  problem I'll have a look at the byte compiling engine
  code. Maybe I can discover where is th problem ....


  Thanks

Argh, some very recent change in trunk seems to have hosed
byte-compilation altogether for me.  I have several emacs addon packages
like Gnus, AUCTeX, helm cloned from their repositories, and as soon as I
byte-compile those with today's emacs (revno 108437), they won't work at
all.  It seems there are complete functions missing in the elc files and
I get dozens of "Wrong type argument" errors at different locations.
After deleting all elc files and running from the plain elisp sources,
everything works again.

Bye,
Tassilo

Yes, those are the same symptoms I have here.  Thanks for the pointer.

   I think that the problem is different from mine. Indeed the
   compilation problem I encountered was due to the
   byte-compile-fix-header method which was clearly bugged. But
   we solved that.
