check-parens

check-parens

[Andreas Röhler]

Hi,

the following snippet errors:

(member CHAR (list ?r ?))

but check-parens doesn't signal it.


Worth a bug-report?

Thanks,

Andreas

Of course, a paren is missing.

Indeed, but the byte-compiler does:

    foo.el:5:1:Warning: unescaped character literals `?)' detected,
        `?\)' expected!

Probably not: it's a known problem.

Would be nice for the cgit/emacs.git webpage to have a section listing
vintage bugs and bugs on low hanging fruit with notes collected from
visitors.

For now, we have the "easy" tag in the bug tracker:
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/pkgreport.cgi?package=emacs;include=tags%3Aeasy

FIX: add the missing paren, and check-parens barfs ;-)
