Subject: bug#23520: 25.0.93; find-feature-regexp : mismatch between docstring and default value.
Date: Thu, 12 May 2016 09:52:37 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <864ma3sofu.fsf@ulb.ac.be> (raw)

Here's the current definition of find-feature-regexp :

(defcustom find-feature-regexp
  (concat ";;; Code:")
  "The regexp used by `xref-find-definitions' when searching for a feature definition.
Note it must contain a `%s' at the place where `format'
should insert the feature name."
  ;; We search for ";;; Code" rather than (feature '%s) because the
  ;; former is near the start of the code, and the latter is very
  ;; uninteresting. If the regexp is not found, just goes to
  ;; (point-min), which is acceptable in this case.
  :type 'regexp
  :group 'xref
  :version "25.0")

The comment explains why there is no "%s" in the default value, but when
doing C-h v find-feature-regexp RET, it's puzzling to read "must contain
%s" and then the default value doesn't actually contain "%s".
