Re: [PATCH] Avoid syntax complaints in #'substitute-in-file-name
Ar an dara lá déag de mí na Nollaig, scríobh Stephen J. Turnbull:
QUERY
Aren't we being altogether too smart for our own good at C level?
Yes.
If you're going to try to second-guess a luser, do it in Lisp. If
you
really think you need to do this here, I question whether
substitute-in-file-name isn't being called in the wrong place or with
insufficient protection.
It’s called when determining the user’s home directory at startup; also from
load-internal. I don’t think making use of #'substitute-in-file-name’s
features at dump time is a particularly good idea, so it might be a better
idea to move the function to Lisp and only call it from both places if it’s
bound.
