Subject: bug#8479: 24.0.50; Strange error message upon M-z M-z
Date: Fri, 07 Oct 2011 02:59:36 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <7kehypl21z.fsf@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <83tye4ral2.fsf@gnu.org> (Eli Zaretskii's message of "Mon, 11 Apr 2011 19:56:09 +0300")
This is a general issue, eg:
M-x number-to-register RET M-z
Wrong type argument: characterp, 134217850
It seems reasonable to me to get an error in these circumstances.
How about just making the error message more explicit:
*** src/callint.c 2011-07-09 07:06:04 +0000
--- src/callint.c 2011-10-07 06:55:53 +0000
***************
*** 535,540 ****
--- 535,541 ----
message1_nolog ((char *) 0);
/* Passing args[i] directly stimulates compiler bug */
teml = args[i];
+ if (! CHARACTERP (teml)) error ("Non-character input-event");
visargs[i] = Fchar_to_string (teml);
break;
