Re: [Bug: 21.5-b27] font-lock-fontify-* / infinite loop

Hallo Stephen! "SJT" == Stephen J Turnbull <stephen(a)xemacs.org&gt; writes: [Macros called from compiled code] SJT> A grep of the XEmacs package tree says that the only macro with SJT> arguments '(&rest cdr)' is lambda-default in eieio.el. A grep here shows the following which looks to me like a XEmacs file: /usr/lib/xemacs-21.5-b27/lisp/subr.el:(defmacro lambda (&rest cdr) SJT> (Of course you may have a library that isn't available to me with SJT> that signature.) So if you ensure that eieio is loaded at package SJT> build time (probably Gnus), this problem will probably be fixed. I "require"d eieio while re-building Gnus this time - didn't help. (I wouldn't know why it would anyway because I don't even know what it does and I can't remember ever using it nor is there any reference to it anywhere in my setup.) I've checked that none of my own compiled stuff calls anything with the "rest cdr" argument and to make sure, I've even deleted all of my own compiled files - didn't help either.

I strongly doubt that as I wouldn't even know how to enable it. :-) SJT> Again, the solution is probably to load eieio.

I have tried loading eieio both from my configs and immediately before triggering the bug using load-library - didn't help. Any other ideas? I mean, why would Gnus or something related try to use eieio in the first place? This behaviour is immensely irritating and I really need to get rid of the problem - preferably without sacrificing font locking. :) SJT> Given the quality of the translation you describe, we should just SJT> remove it until somebody is willing to maintain it properly. Yes, that would be reasonable, too. :-) -- Grüße, Wulf _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
