Subject: bug#30223: 27.0.50; Arglist of advised but undefined functions missing
Date: Tue, 23 Jan 2018 00:53:50 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <874lndfl9d.fsf@tcd.ie> (raw)

Steps to reproduce:

1. emacs -Q
2. (advice-add 'some-funbound-sym :override #'ignore)
3. C-h f some-funbound-sym RET

This results in the *Help* buffer reporting:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
some-funbound-sym is .

[Missing arglist.  Please make a bug report.]

Not documented.

[back]
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

which I presume is at least partially due to

  (get 'some-funbound-sym 'function-documentation)
    => (advice--make-docstring 'some-funbound-sym)

I wouldn't expect advised-but-undefined functions to have meaningful
documentation, but IMO the suggestion to make a bug report is
misleading, given that many users are likely to advise as-of-yet
undefined functions in their user-init-file.
