bug#62317: bug #62317: 28.2; This byte-compiled file behaves wrongly.

[Teika Kazura <teika@gmx.com>]

Hi. I found a relation of this bug to native compilation, but there's a new, independent bug. Anyway remember the problem here is the pair of require - set-buffer, and I'm using 28.2. (I know it's not safe. :p)

What surprises is that `native-compile-async' and `batch-native-compile' generate differnt codes. To show it, use the same init.el and a.el above. Byte-compile first a.el, then init.el. Next native-compile init.el. Run emacs, and the above bug appears.

The difference is that (i) if you use native-compile-async, by removing one of init-<hash>.eln or init.elc, the bug disappears, even if the other remains. But (ii) if you use "$ emacs -Q -batch -f batch-native-compile *el", eln in fact does not matter; only the presence of init.elc screws things up.

# Who can expect this?

At the very least, native-compilation has too many undocumented aspects. If you want, I'll open a new bug for this discrepancy.

# It's off-topic for this bug, but for the above sample code, automatic, asynchronous generation of an eln file does not happen, unlike the case of my real init.el. I can't find the reason yet.
