Subject: Is this a bug in elisp
Date: Wed, 12 Dec 2007 03:48:29 -0800 (PST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <8730345c-460c-4ed8-b151-98fb72afab42@d4g2000prg.googlegroups.com> (raw)
Hello Everybody,
I am using GNU Emacs-22.1.50.1 (Ubuntu 7.10). I was having some
problems with the verilog-mode in this version of Emacs (although
it worked perfectly in Emacs-21.x). It seems that I found the location
of the problem. But since I don't know elisp, I am unable to
understand
the cause of the problem. So I am just inserting below what I think
is the relevant portion of the code:
-----------------------------------------------
(define-skeleton verilog-sk-prompt-msb
"Prompt for least significant bit specification."
"msb:" str & ?: & (verilog-sk-prompt-lsb) | -1 )
(define-skeleton verilog-sk-prompt-lsb
"Prompt for least significant bit specification."
"lsb:" str )
-----------------------------------------------
I just defined those functions above in the *scratch*
buffer. Then tried to evaluate (verilog-sk-prompt-msb).
Instead of the expected result, I am placed in a debug
buffer with the following content I cannot figure out:
(Doing the same in emacs-21.x does not cause any
problem)
--------------------------------------------------
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Lisp nesting exceeds `max-lisp-
eval-depth'")
skeleton-internal-1(t t nil)
skeleton-internal-1(t t nil)
skeleton-internal-1(t t nil)
....
....
skeleton-internal-1(t t nil)
skeleton-internal-1(t t nil)
skeleton-internal-1((verilog-sk-prompt-lsb) nil nil)
byte-code("Ã@Ã #Â" [skeleton recursive skeleton-internal-1
nil] 4)
skeleton-internal-list(("msb:" str & 58 & (verilog-sk-prompt-lsb) |
-1) nil)
(let nil (skeleton-internal-list skeleton str))
eval((let nil (skeleton-internal-list skeleton str)))
skeleton-insert(("msb:" str & 58 & (verilog-sk-prompt-lsb) | -1) nil
nil)
skeleton-proxy-new(("msb:" str & 58 & (verilog-sk-prompt-lsb) | -1)
nil nil)
verilog-sk-prompt-msb()
eval((verilog-sk-prompt-msb))
eval-last-sexp-1(nil)
eval-last-sexp(nil)
call-interactively(eval-last-sexp)
--------------------------------------------------------
I feel like I am getting into an endless recursion here. Dunno how.
It would be very helpful if anyone could suggest/provide a fix.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Santanu Chatterjee
