* bug#17001: `documentation' fails with void-function help-split-fundoc, due to advice @ 2014-03-12 20:04 Glenn Morris 2014-03-12 20:44 ` Glenn Morris 0 siblings, 1 reply; 4+ messages in thread From: Glenn Morris @ 2014-03-12 20:04 UTC (permalink / raw) To: 17001 Package: emacs Version: 24.3.50 Current trunk on GNU/Linux. emacs -Q (documentation 'rename-buffer) -> void-function help-split-fundoc The error comes from advice--make-docstring. nadvice.el could autoload help-split-fundoc. Since nadvice.el is preloaded, that's equivalent to sticking an autoload cookie on help-split-fundoc. Which might be a good thing, since several files autoload it manually. Or advice--make-docstring could require help-fns. PS Presumably the lispref statement "Emacs's own source files should not put advice on functions in Emacs." no longer applies, since nadvice.el is preloaded and eg simple.el uses it. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

Seems bytecomp.el now requires help-fns in some cases. That seems like it could cause precisely this kind of problem. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

PPS I see some wise person added related comments to help-fns.el some time ago; e.g.: ;; FIXME: Move to subr.el? (defun help-function-arglist (def &optional preserve-names) (why not to help.el, which is preloaded?) ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
