  Hi, with org-mode from today on Emacs 23.4.1 and with this 2-line file:

- [ ] call_me
- [ ] try funcall_lambda (maybe)


1. Go to the „me“ and press C-c C-c. You get „C-c C-c can do nothing useful at this location“. I expected to switch the checkbox.

2. Go to the „maybe“ and press C-c C-c. I got:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-function maybe)
  (maybe)
  eval((maybe))
  org-babel-read("(maybe)")
  org-babel-ref-parse("results=(maybe)")
  #[(el) …
  mapcar(#[(el) …
  org-babel-process-params(((:comments . "") (:shebang . "") (:cache . "no") (:padline . "") (:noweb . "no") (:tangle . "no") (:exports . "code") (:results . "replace") (:var . "results=(maybe)") (:hlines . "no") (:session . "none")))
  org-babel-lob-execute(("lambda (maybe)" nil 13 nil))
  org-babel-lob-execute-maybe()
  org-babel-execute-maybe()
  org-babel-execute-safely-maybe()
  run-hook-with-args-until-success(org-babel-execute-safely-maybe)
  org-ctrl-c-ctrl-c(nil)


3. Similar confusions happen on export; the word Fcall_interactively which appeared in a gdb backtrace was crashing the HTML exportation.


  I think something similar happened to me years ago, and I had to avoid all call_ words!

This should be fixed.

We may tweak `org-babel-inline-lob-one-liner-regexp' in order to make it
harder to trigger it unwillingly. 

Cc'ing Eric Schulte to know his opinion.

The trade-off here is between raising an error when e.g., a like
matching the call line syntax has a problem or failing silently.  The
former is preferable in the case where you intend the syntax to be a
call and you *do* want to know if there is a problem, and the latter is
preferable if you aren't trying to issue a call and just stumbled upon
the syntax.

I'm open to either solution, it's just a question of which use case is
more important and which failure condition is more onerous.

Just to be clear, I thought about making parens mandatory in inline
Babel call syntax. Underscore is overloaded already: underline,
subscript...

Note that OP's problem can be solved once we have escaped underscores
(again). But I'm not there yet.

In fact, they are already mandatory. The problem is different. Current
regexp is:

  "\\([^\n]*?\\)call_\\([^()\n]+?\\)\\(\\[\\(.*?\\)\\]\\|\\(\\)\\)(\\([^\n]*?\\))\\(\\[\\(.*?\\)\\]\\)?"

In particular, name is \\([^()\n]+?\\), and can include whitespace
characters. Therefore "call_name (args)" is valid. Isn't it too much
permissive in the context of an Org (i.e. textual) document?

Also, couldn't we limit names to alphanumeric characters and, maybe,
some puctuation (e.g. hypen)?

Why don't we exclude whitespace from names.  Do you think that would be
sufficient?

It would solve the current problem, but there are still many problematic
characters allowed (e.g., commas, curly brackets). I think there's no
point in allowing "call_{i=1}()" as a valid inline Babel call.

Furthermore, I don't think it's a real limitation to use alphanumeric
characters (and hyphen) only for a function name. I would even require
an alphabetic character as the first char, to avoid calls like:
"call_1()".

BTW, later in that regexp, there is a dubious "(\\([^\n]*?\\))". Is
there any reason not to use "(\\(.*?\\))" instead? Also, what about the
empty matcher "\\(\\)"? I don't get its use.

I often use "/" in function names, and in general I'd prefer not to
remove characters (e.g., "{") unless there is a specific reason.  I've
changed the name portion of the regular expression to disallow space
characters.

I've made this change and all tests continue to pass, so we can stick
with the simpler and less explicit option.

I'm hesitant to make changes that could affect the match data, it is
possible this is present so that match data is similar to other regular
expressions matching callable elements.

The heavy use of regular expressions in Babel code is difficult to
maintain, but I'm not sure if there is any practical alternative.
Regardless this particular two-lines regular expression could really use
many more than two lines of comments...

I think there's a specific reason to disallow naming a function "{i=1}":
it is too close to underline syntax. We should make syntax less prone to
ambiguity (see recent thread about underline and subscript) ; this
doesn't help. Think also about call_~my-verbatim-function-name~(),
call_@@latex:my-export-snippet@@()...

We're talking about function names, not free-form text, so limitations
are understandable. For example, macro names only allow alphanumeric
characters or hyphens and have to start with an alphabetic character.

I suggest to select a few symbols allowed in names (e.g., "/") as
a starter. It is always possible to discuss on a case by case basis if
other symbols should be added.

Having considered this, unless there are user objections I'd be happy
limiting function names to the same restricted alphabet as macro names.

This would be a breaking change though, and should be mentioned as such
in the notes.

Once you have settled for a regexp (do you want to include "/"
character?), please let me know, I'll update org-element accordingly.

Is "/" allowed in macro names?  I think the biggest benefit here is
unification between macro and function names.  Is there a macro name
regexp which could be used directly (to ensure that these two stay
unified)?  I don't see one, so I expect we'll want to add an
org-babel-function-name regexp along the lines of "[a-zA-Z0-9\-\/]+".
This would then be used in the following variables.
- org-babel-src-block-regexp
- org-babel-src-name-w-name-regexp

And the following functions should be updated to ensure that the name
only includes the allowed characters.
- org-babel-named-data-regexp-for-name
- org-babel-named-src-block-regexp-for-name

Does this sound about right?

No. Macro names use the following regexp:

  [a-zA-Z][-a-zA-Z0-9_]*

Note there is no limitation on the contents of NAME keywords. Unless the
same limitation propagates to those (but should it?), Babel calls will
be ignored if forbidden characters are used.

I think it is more important that code block names resemble data names
than macro names, so I'm afraid that I'm back to my original position of
preferring to keep as many characters as possible in function names.

You can still have forbidden characters even with the current permissive
regexp:

  #+NAME: how do you call me?

is a valid NAME value but not a valid Babel name.

Another option is, as noted before, to restrict NAME values accordingly.
