Subject: bug#2499: 23.0.91; syntax-ppss / beginning-of-defun not saving match data
Date: Fri, 27 Feb 2009 16:42:52 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87myc7ga2r.fsf@freebits.de> (raw)
`beginning-of-defun' (and `syntax-ppss' as it invokes the former by
the variable `syntax-begin-function') does not save match data.
The issue also applies to 23.0.60.1, and 22.1.1.
Test case:
(let ((buffer-sexpr "(defun *HERE*"))
(with-temp-buffer
(lisp-mode)
(insert buffer-sexpr)
(search-backward "*HERE*")
(let ((old (match-data)))
(progn (beginning-of-defun))
(equal old (match-data)))))
==> nil
There are several possible options now:
(i) `beginning-of-defun' is allowed to not save match data. If so,
please document it.
(ii) If (i) is true, still consider whether `syntax-ppss' is allowed
to not save match data, too. Perhaps it should rather funcall
`syntax-begin-function' wrapped in a `save-match-data'.
Whatever the decision, please document it.
Thank you!
