Subject: bug#24863: Functions declared as side-effect-free do not generate warnings in the same file
Date: Wed, 2 Nov 2016 20:59:39 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAFXAjY4YAT_uhdSRc-LCv4ih=LEeHkRA7YEVAV-foh+d-HDmJA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
If I declare a function as side-effect-free, I do not get warnings
when I call it for side effects:
(defun foo-pure (x)
(declare (side-effect-free t))
x)
(defun foo-calls-pure ()
;; No warning here:
(foo-pure 1)
12)
However, if I define foo-pure in a standalone file and byte-compile
it, I get byte-compile warnings when I define foo-calls-pure in a
second file.
As mentioned in http://emacs.stackexchange.com/a/28341/304 , the
problem is that side-effect-free is added to the function symbol plist
at the wrong time. This can be worked around with:
(eval-and-compile (function-put 'foo-pure 'side-effect-free 't))
before defining foo-calls-pure.
However, ideally this wouldn't be required. I think it's just a matter
of changing defun-declarations-alist to:
(list 'side-effect-free
#'(lambda (f _args val)
`(eval-and-compile (function-put ',f 'side-effect-free ',val)))
"If non-nil, calls can be ignored if their value is unused.
If `error-free', drop calls even if `byte-compile-delete-errors' is nil.")
