Subject: Reporting Lisp errors in dynamic modules
Date: Fri, 27 Nov 2015 13:07:01 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <83egfbsnu2.fsf@gnu.org> (raw)
With the latest emacs-25 branch, load modules/mod-test/mod-test.so,
then evaluate '(mod-test-sum "1" 2)'. The backtrace that pops up is
this:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument integerp "1")
#<subr module-call>(#<save-value <pointer 00fdab90> <unused> <unused> <unused>> ("1" 2))
mod-test-sum("1" 2)
eval((mod-test-sum "1" 2) nil)
elisp--eval-last-sexp(nil)
eval-last-sexp(nil)
funcall-interactively(eval-last-sexp nil)
call-interactively(eval-last-sexp nil nil)
command-execute(eval-last-sexp)
I believe the line with "<subr module-call>" is suboptimal, in that it
looks alien and includes all kinds of unneeded and weirdly formatted
data. AFAIU, the reason is that we deliberately unintern module-call.
Should we perhaps reconsider that decision, so that the backtrace is
in more familiar form? What exactly are the dangers of having
module-call exposed as any other primitive?
