when you do c-h f or c-h v, emacs provides a link to the source. i have
always relied on this feature.
in my own code, i have always kept byte-compiled files in a separate
directory from the source. this has never been a problem.
in a recent version of emacs, perhaps a recent emacs 24 minor version,
it seems that these source links no longer exist if you keep your
byte-compiled files in a separate directory from the source files.
i'd like them to exist again, without having to change the way i load my
byte-compiled files.
keeping byte-compiled files in a separate directory solves a bunch of
problems all at once that i'd rather not unsolve only to have to solve
again in different kludgey ways.
in other words, i want c-h f and c-h v to work again, the way they did
before the recent version of emacs.
i do not know why this occurs. i just know that it stopped working.
thanks.

Why on Earth was this bug immediately relegated to the Wishlist?
Isn't it a regression (assuming it is reproducible)?
If so, is restoring lost correct behavior just a wish now?

I didn't recall this ever working, but by experiment, seems it last
worked in 22.3.
Tested with foo.el in /tmp/source, foo.elc in /tmp/compile, PWD /tmp, and
(push (expand-file-name "source") load-path)
(push (expand-file-name "compile") load-path)
(load "foo")
C-h f foo-func

I failed to notice that this is already fixed for the next release.
