Re: MSVC optimizer bug ?
[Gnus mailing-list readers: xemacs-21.5.2 (Artichoke) crashes when
using the latest cvs Oort 0.04 gnus ont native win32.]
Well it is not clear to me if the msvc optimizer is faulty: I got crashes
with the debug version too. The elisp code that triggers the bug is there in
nnmail.el :
line 1641:
(when (setq new
(mail-source-fetch
source
(gnus-byte-compile
`(lambda (file orig-file)
(nnmail-split-incoming
file ',(intern (format "%s-save-mail" method))
',spool-func
(if (equal file orig-file)
nil
(nnmail-get-split-group orig-file ',source))
',(intern (format "%s-active-number" method)))))))
Removing gnus-byte-compile avoids the crash.
`gnus-byte-compile' is defined in gnus-util.el as:
(defun gnus-byte-compile (form)
"Byte-compile FORM if `gnus-use-byte-compile' is non-nil."
(if gnus-use-byte-compile
(progn
(require 'bytecomp)
(defalias 'gnus-byte-compile 'byte-compile)
(byte-compile form))
form))
