Subject: bug#8690: 24.0.50; `declare' doc; conflict with cl-macs.el
Date: Wed, 18 May 2011 08:58:26 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <98E51A77662843EDB8887B68CC9828DF@us.oracle.com> (raw)
Emacs has added `declare', choosing to use the same name as the Common
Lisp form.
If cl has been loaded, then `C-h f declare' says this:
declare is a Lisp macro in `cl-macs.el'.
(declare &rest SPECS)
Not documented.
If cl has not been loaded, then it says this:
declare is a Lisp macro in `subr.el'.
(declare &rest SPECS)
Do not evaluate any arguments and return nil.
Treated as a declaration when used at the right place in a
`defmacro' form. (See Info anchor `(elisp)Definition of declare'.)
Something should be done about this. Perhaps rename the cl form to
avoid the conflict? Dunno. But we shouldn't be getting into this kind
of conflict/confusion. Unless the two are truly compatible, in which
case we should add the same doc string to the macro in cl-macs.el.
