Subject: bug#33940: 27.0.50; ?\^c syntax confuses scanning
Date: Tue, 01 Jan 2019 03:58:35 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <8736qdnkx0.fsf@web.de> (raw)
Hello,
in 20b858ef13f8f71fae6cbce5cdac31c4dd130600 "Prefer \... to control
chars in .el literals" woman.el has been changed to contain reader
syntaxes like "?\^]" - which apparently confuses `scan-sexps', e.g.
(scan-sexps (point-min) (point-max))
|- (scan-error "Containing expression ends prematurely" 81997 81998)
Obviously `scan-sexps' doesn't handle this kind of syntax correctly.
This confuses paren highlighting, by-sexp and by-list movement, prevents
enabling paredit mode, and such unpleasant things.
(CC'ing the author of the commit, Paul Eggert)
Thanks and regards,
Michael.
