Subject: bug#11719: 24.1; CL argument list error
Date: Fri, 15 Jun 2012 14:44:06 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <8762as666x.fsf@blueyonder.co.uk> (raw)
Dear Emacs maintainers and bug fixers,
In Emacs 22.1, evaluating
(funcall (function* (lambda ((x . y)) (cons y x))) '(1 . 2))
returns (2 . 1), as expected and documented.
In Emacs 24.1, evaluating the above sexp yields this error message:
Wrong type argument: listp, y
This happens because
(cl--make-usage-args '((x . y)))
recursively descends into it argument list and evaluates this:
(memq '&cl-defs '(x . y))
In the older Emacs, cl--make-usage-args did not even exist and only a
simpler portion of its code is present instead of the call to
cl--make-usage-args. In particular, the recursive descent is missing.
I hope this bug report is somehow helpful.
By the way, I have personally worked around the bug by disabling
cl--make-usage-args completely, which is okay because it is only used
to build a doc string for the anonymous function. I disabled it like
this:
(defadvice cl--make-usage-args (around jbw-fix-brokenness activate))
--
With my best wishes,
Joe Wells
