* bug#24773: 26.0.50; Error when using Edebug on a function that uses :documentation

Edebug gives an error when you try to debug any function which uses
:documentation to create its docstring. To reproduce:

1. Start Emacs (with -Q if you like) and enter the following code into *scratch*:

;;;  -*- lexical-binding: t -*-

(defun make-animal (species noise)
  (lambda ()
    (:documentation (format "I'm a %s." species))
    (message "%s" noise)))

(defalias 'kermit (make-animal "frog" "ribbit"))
(message "Kermit says %s" (documentation 'kermit t))
(kermit)

2. M-x edebug-all-defs RET
3. M-x eval-buffer RET
4. g

Result: "Kermit says nil" is written to Messages, and execution stops
with the error "Symbol’s function definition is void: :documentation".

This bug happens not only with lambda but also defun, defmacro,
defmethod, pcase-lambda, cl-defun, etc.


In GNU Emacs 26.0.50.10 (x86_64-apple-darwin15.6.0, NS appkit-1404.47 Version 10.11.6 (Build 15G1004))

Is that a legitimate way to create a docstring?

I tried

(defun foo ()
  (:documentation "this is docmentation")
  t)
(foo)

And it didn't work (<f1> f foo RET says foo is not documented, and
running foo, throws Lisp error: (void-function :documentation)).

Yes, but lexical-binding needs to be on for it to work. It's mentioned
in the NEWS for Emacs 25.

Ah, I see it now, yes.

Here is a patch to add support for :documentation to the Edebug specs
of the macros where it can be used (see bug#28557 for a list of those,
and some related bugs).

cl-defgeneric was missing an Edebug spec and I reported that as
bug#27747. Since it uses :documentation, I wrote one for it and
included it here, so that bug will also be fixed by this patch.

Before this patch there weren't any Edebug specs in
lisp/emacs-lisp/generator.el, and lots of macros. Consequently,
while iterators can be instrumented, they don't work under Edebug.
I'll report that as a separate bug.

Subject: [PATCH] Create new Edebug spec for docstrings and use it in closures

Since (:documentation FORM) can be used to create a docstring
when lexical-binding is on, allow for that possibility in Edebug
specs (bug#24773).
* lisp/emacs-lisp/edebug.el: Define an Edebug spec for docstrings
called lambda-doc and modify the Edebug specs for defun and
defmacro to use it.
(edebug-instrument-function): Check for generic functions first,
to fix bug where edebug-step-in didn't work on methods now that
cl-defgeneric has an Edebug spec.
* lisp/subr.el (lambda): Modify Edebug spec to use lambda-doc.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/cl-generic.el (cl-defgeneric): Add Edebug spec
(bug#27747).
(cl-defmethod): Use lambda-doc in Edebug spec.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/cl-macs.el: Modify Edebug spec for
cl-declarations-or-string to use lambda-doc, and modify Edebug
spec for cl-lambda-expr to use cl-declarations-or-string.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/pcase.el (pcase-lambda): Modify Edebug spec to
use lambda-doc, as well as &define and def-body which are
necessary for using Edebug on code wrapped by lambda.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/generator.el (iter-defun, iter-lambda): Add
Edebug specs.
