* bug#14974: 24.3.50; adaptive-wrap 0.3 calls potentially void function easy-menu-add-item

adaptive-wrap 0.3 adds an autoload for a call to "(easy-menu-add-item
…)".  However, "easy-menu-add-item" itself is not autoloaded, and
"adaptive-wrap" does not "(require 'easymenu)" before calling
"easy-menu-add-item" in an autoload.

Hence, *activating* (not even loading!) "adaptive-wrap" fails unless
"easymenu" incidentally happens to be loaded before.

Obviously this breaks all sorts of things, most notably package
installation in "emacs -Q --batch".

Greetings,
Sebastian Wiesner

Thanks for the report; fixed.

I don't think that's enough: the error is signaled before
adaptive-wrap.el is loaded, i.e. before seeing the code you modified.
You'd need to add a ;;;###autoload in front of the new (require 'easymenu).

Shouldn't adaptive-wrap rather use one of the autoloadable functions
from "easymenu"?

It could, but that would load easymenu just as well.

An alternative would be to do the same with define-key rather than
using easymenu.

Hmm, I guess I don't understand what is going wrong -- what error is
being signaled and what is causing it?  From the shell I invoked 

emacs -Q --batch --eval "(package-install 'adaptive-wrap)"

and that returns "package.el is not yet initialized!" -- but the same
thing happens with any other package, so that can't be the problem.
What is a recipe to getting the error, so I can understand what the
issue is?

The following seems to DTRT (and also allows dispensing with
adaptive-wrap-unload-function):

(define-key-after (lookup-key menu-bar-options-menu [line-wrapping])
  [adaptive-wrap]
  '(menu-item "Adaptive Wrap" (lambda ()
				(interactive)
				(if adaptive-wrap-prefix-mode
				    (adaptive-wrap-prefix-mode -1)
				  (adaptive-wrap-prefix-mode 1)))
	      :enable t
	      :visible (and (menu-bar-menu-frame-live-and-visible-p)
			    (featurep 'adaptive-wrap))
	      :help "Show wrapped long lines with an adjustable prefix"
	      :button (:toggle . adaptive-wrap-prefix-mode))
  word-wrap)

Should I install it in place of the easy-menu definition?  (Though in
any case I'd still like to understand just what the problem with the
latter is.)

1- install adaptive-wrap from ELPA.
2- restart Emacs.

The binding should simply be adaptive-wrap-prefix-mode, shouldn't it?

Why not always show it?

> 	      :button (:toggle . adaptive-wrap-prefix-mode))

adaptive-wrap-prefix-mode only exists after adaptive-wrap has been
loaded, so better use (bound-and-true-p adaptive-wrap-prefix-mode).

Now I see, thanks.

You mean (lambda () (interactive) (adaptive-wrap-prefix-mode 'toggle))?
Yes, that's better.

Then the check box remains in the menu after unloading adaptive-wrap.el,
but it becomes a noop.  Making visibility depend on whether the feature
is present is, AFAICS, a way of avoiding a separate
adaptive-wrap-unload-function.  Or am I wrong about this, or do you mean
something else?

No, I mean `adaptive-wrap-prefix-mode', which will already do the same.

Big deal.  Don't waste code on such a non-issue that will only affect
maybe 10 people in the next century, 9 of whom won't even notice it
because they won't look at the menu.

As I said, unloading a package is largely broken, so some left-over
entries in a menu are the least of your worries in this respect.

Got it, finally.  Sorry for the denseness.

I honestly don't see having the feature check as a waste of code, but no
matter.  I assume, then, that adaptive-wrap-unload-function is also
dispensable; so is the following patch ok to check in?

The ":enable t" is redundant, remove it.
As for the ":visible" entry, I'm wondering what it's there for: I see
it's also used for the line-wrap entry, but I don't know what it's used for
there either.

I see that menu-bar-menu-frame-live-and-visible-p was added in 2005 by
Eli (used for :enable rather than :visible, by the way) and it
was moved to :visible later on when Yidong added the word-wrap entry.

Could someone add a comment explaining what it's for?  Usually the
menu's frame can't be invisible if the menu is visible, so I guess it
has to do with either the `ns' build or with the Gtk feature that lets
on `pin' a menu?  But why is it used on these entries and not on others?
Why use it for `:visible' rather than `:enable' or for something
yet entirely different?
