I looked at the source in src/print.c.  At the print_object() level the
behavior is correct for lists but fiendishly complicated so I couldn't
figure out the parallel structure for hashtables quickly.  I'll put it
on my TODO list if no one else is interested.

This is the second emacs bugs message I've missed in the last two weeks
(I also didn't see the URL auth bug resolution).  Something is up with
my news server (I read it via NNTP:gnu.emacs.bug).  Sorry for the noise.

bug#5082: 23.1.50; print-circle and make-hash-table

[川幡太一]

Dear Emacs Developers,

I've found an Emacs behavior that seems a bug concerning to `print-circle'
and make-hash-table, so I would like to report it.

By setting `print-circle' to `t', printing Lisp Object with recursive
or repetitive
list should be displayed as #N= and #N# syntax.

However, it seems this is not true when printing lisp objects within
hash tables
(which become possible in Emacs 23.1.50.)  Following is an example.

Is it possible to display the repetitive lisp object within printed hash tables
by #N= and #N# syntax, when `print-circle' is set to `t'?

I notify this behavior as a bug, but it may not be so.  I apologize in that
case.

(let ((print-circle t)
      (x (list 10 20))
      (y (make-hash-table)))
  (insert (format "%S\n" (list x x)))
  (puthash 1 x y)
  (puthash 2 x y)
  (insert (format "%S\n" y))
  (setcar x 3)
  (insert (format "%S\n" y)))

Result:
> (#1=(10 20) #1#)
> #s(hash-table size 65 test eql rehash-size 1.5 rehash-threshold 0.8
> data (1 (10 20) 2 (10 20)))

nil

Cordially Yours,
