Subject: map-char-table, optimize-char-table and `equal' comparisons
Date: Sat, 10 May 2008 16:21:27 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <jwvej89rjzy.fsf-monnier+emacs@gnu.org> (raw)
Both map-char-table and optimize-char-table compare consecutive values
using `equal' to determine whether to merge them into ranges.
I can see that it may sometimes be useful, but it is dangerous since it
may lose object identity information (obviously) and more importantly
because `equal' can fail when comparing cyclic objects.
I happened to be manipulating char-tables that map chars to other
char-tables, sometimes in cyclic ways and that makes it impossible to
use map-char-table ;-(
Any objection to changing the internal comparison predicate to `eq'?
Stefan
