Hi,
This is a followup after emacs-devel thread on using pdumper:
https://yhetil.org/emacs-devel/83msw8kw2f.fsf@gnu.org/
I was trying to create a simple Emacs dump via
------ dump.el -------
(dump-emacs-portable "/tmp/emacs-dumped.dmp")
----------------------
./src/emacs -q --batch -l ~/Downloads/dump.el
Similar to the problem described in
https://archive.casouri.cc/note/2020/painless-transition-to-portable-dumper/index.html
I got global-font-lock-mode disabled (and the value is nil) when
starting Emacs with the above dump file.
The first immediate surprise here is that lisp/loadup.el already has
(load "font-lock"). So, it should be pre-loaded already. I do not fully
understand why re-dumping changes Emacs behavior.
Trying to investigate a bit about the possible cause, I found the
following suspicious form in font-core.el:
(define-globalized-minor-mode global-font-lock-mode
font-lock-mode turn-on-font-lock-if-desired
;; What was this :extra-args thingy for? --Stef
;; :extra-args (dummy)
:initialize 'custom-initialize-delay
:init-value (not (or noninteractive emacs-basic-display))
:group 'font-lock
:version "22.1")
Note how :init-value is set according to `noninteractive', which is t
when creating the dump file.
It looks like either a bug in font-core.el that makes wrong assumptions
about :init-value evaluation time or a bug in `define-minor-mode' that
may need to arrange :init-value calculation to be evaluated at load
time.
-----------
Another (possible) problem appeared when I tried to work around the
above issue. I attempted
(defun font-lock--enable-after-pdump ()
"Re-initialize `global-font-lock-mode' after loading Emacs with dump file."
(setq global-font-lock-mode (not (or noninteractive emacs-basic-display))))
(add-hook 'after-pdump-load-hook #'font-lock--enable-after-pdump)
But, to my surprise, it did not lead to font-lock-mode being active in
*scratch* buffer. Either I miss something important here or
`after-pdump-load-hook' may be evaluated too late in Emacs loading for
the purposes for setting up font-lock.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This at least is the same problem as for transient-mark-mode.
Don't know about the other things.
