List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Errors-To: emacs-devel-bounces+ged-emacs-devel=m.gmane.org@gnu.org Original-Sender: "Emacs-devel" Xref: news.gmane.org gmane.emacs.devel:237987 Archived-At: After building from Emacs master on June 15, I found that the ediff function no longer works, responding with: ediff-files-internal: Symbol's value as a variable is void: file-A This seem to be due to lisp/vm/ediff.el being compiled with lexical bindings (explicitly). ediff-files-internal calls ediff-find-file with its file arguments quoted (as it expects). How is such code going to be approached? -- Barry Fishman
