In GNU Emacs 24.2.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin, NS apple-appkit-1038.36):
The section "Indenting Macros" in the Emacs Lisp Reference Manual [1] says
that if INDENT-SPEC is a symbol, then
SYMBOL should be a function name; that function is called to
calculate the indentation of a line within this expression. The
function receives two arguments:
STATE
The value returned by `parse-partial-sexp' (a Lisp primitive
for indentation and nesting computation) when it parses up to
the beginning of this line.
POS
The position at which the line being indented begins.
However, the function actually receives these arguments in the other
order. In particular, in lisp-indent-function in lisp-mode.el [2] the
INDENT-SPEC method is called like this:
(funcall method indent-point state)))))))
I suggest that the Emacs Lisp Reference Manual be updated to match the
code.
