Subject: bug#1406: backward-up-list reports scan error incorrectly?
Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2008 13:24:30 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <EAA45A2E-4CC6-4F13-863A-9A934FF60165@xahlee.org> (raw)
This appears to be a bug of backward-up-list.
Summary: when i do backward-up-list in a particular lisp file, when
the cursor is inside a double quote, it tell me Unbalanced
parentheses, but there does not seems to be any unbalanced paren. The
file byte-compiles fine.
steps to reproduce:
Save the following function to a file.
(defun replace-keybinding-notation (p1 p2)
"Do a bunch of find/replace on current text selection."
(interactive "r")
(let (mystr (case-fold-search nil) (case-replace nil))
(setq mystr (buffer-substring p1 p2))
(setq mystr
(with-temp-buffer
(insert mystr)
;; C-
(goto-char (point-min))
(while
(search-forward-regexp "C-" nil t)
(replace-match "Ctlr+" t) )
;; M-
(goto-char (point-min))
(while
(search-forward-regexp "M-" nil t)
(replace-match "Alt+" t) )
;; Ctrl+Alt+t
(goto-char (point-min))
(while
(search-forward-regexp "Ctrl\\+Alt\\+\\([[:graph:]]\
\)" nil t)
(replace-match "<span class=\"kbd\"><span class=\"key
\">Ctrl</span>+<span class=\"key\">Alt</span>+<span class=\"key\">\
\1</span></span>" t) )
;; Cmd+Shift+t
(goto-char (point-min))
(while
(search-forward-regexp "Cmd\\+Shift\\+\\([[:graph:]]\
\)" nil t)
(replace-match "<span class=\"kbd\"><span class=\"key
\">Cmd</span>+<span class=\"key\">Shift</span>+<span class=\"key\">\
\1</span></span>" t) )
;; Alt+Shift+t
(goto-char (point-min))
(while
(search-forward-regexp "Alt\\+Shift\\+\\([[:graph:]]\
\)" nil t)
(replace-match "<span class=\"kbd\"><span class=\"key
\">Alt</span>+<span class=\"key\">Shift</span>+<span class=\"key\">\
\1</span></span>" t) )
;; Ctrl+t Ctrl+t
(goto-char (point-min))
(while
(search-forward-regexp "Ctrl\\+\\([[:graph:]]\\) Ctrl
\\+\\([[:graph:]]\\)" nil t)
(replace-match "<span class=\"kbd\"><span class=\"key
\">Ctrl</span>+<span class=\"key\">\\1</span> <span class=\"key
\">Ctrl</span>+<span class=\"key\">\\2</span></span>" t) )
;; Ctrl+t
(goto-char (point-min))
(while
(search-forward-regexp "Ctrl\\+\\([[:graph:]]\\)"
nil t)
(replace-match "<span class=\"kbd\"><span class=\"key
\">Ctrl</span>+<span class=\"key\">\\1</span></span>" t) )
;; Alt+t
(goto-char (point-min))
(while
(search-forward-regexp "Alt\\+\\([[:graph:]]\\)" nil t)
(replace-match "<span class=\"kbd\"><span class=\"key
\">Alt</span>+<span class=\"key\">\\1</span></span>" t) )
;; Meta+t
(goto-char (point-min))
(while
(search-forward-regexp "Meta\\+\\([[:graph:]]\\)"
nil t)
(replace-match "<span class=\"kbd\"><span class=\"key
\">Meta</span>+<span class=\"key\">\\1</span></span>" t) )
;; Cmd+t
(goto-char (point-min))
(while
(search-forward-regexp "Cmd\\+\\([[:graph:]]\\)" nil t)
(replace-match "<span class=\"kbd\"><span class=\"key
\">Cmd</span>+<span class=\"key\">\\1</span></span>" t) )
(buffer-string)
)
)
(delete-region p1 p2)
(insert mystr)
)
)
• start emacs by /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs -q
• open the file.
• interactive search for “M-”, do it twice so that your cursor
is in between the double quote on the line: (search-forward-regexp
"M-" nil t). Press return so that your cursor is just before the
closing quote.
• press Ctrl+Alt+↑ (invoke backward-up-list).
• emacs says: “up-list: Scan error: "Unbalanced parentheses", 582,
1”
