Subject: Byte-compiler warnings
Date: Wed, 24 Jun 2015 11:29:27 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <874mlxh2tk.fsf@mbork.pl> (raw)
Hi all,
I remember someone somewhere writing that Emacs byte-compiler is useful
even if you don't want the compiled code, since it issues various
warnings about bad Elisp constructs. I didn't find much about it in the
manual, which referred to the docstring of the variable
`byte-compile-warnings'. That docstring gave a list of symbols denoting
various categories of warnings; the most interesting were probably
`mapcar' and `suspicious'. Grepping the `bytecomp.el' source (GNU Emacs
25.0.50.1) seems to imply that currently the only case where 'suspicious
is used is a combination of `save-excursion' and `set-buffer'. Am
I right?
Are there other tools that assist in writing good Elisp code? I know
about checkdoc, is there anything else?
TIA,
--
