Hello, I'm using Emacs snapshot from https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-elisp/+archive/ubuntu/ppa on ubuntu 15.04, which at the moment is "GNU Emacs 25.0.50.2 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.14.13) of 2015-10-05." Whenever I start emacs I get the following warning: Warning (bytecomp): misplaced interactive spec: ‘(interactive (let ((args (find-tag-interactive "[PCRE] Find tag regexp: " t))) (list (rxt-pcre-to-elisp (nth 0 args)) (nth 1 args) (nth 2 args))))’ The function it refers to looks well defined: (defadvice find-tag-regexp (before pcre-mode first (regexp &optional next-p other-window) disable) "Read regexp using PCRE syntax and convert to Elisp equivalent." "Perform `find-tag-regexp' using emulated PCRE regexp syntax." (interactive (let ((args (find-tag-interactive "[PCRE] Find tag regexp: " t))) (list (rxt-pcre-to-elisp (nth 0 args)) (nth 1 args) (nth 2 args))))) The code I'm refering to is https://github.com/joddie/pcre2el/blob/master/pcre2el.el#L967 What is funny is that there is another `defadvice' that follows almost exactly the same pattern right before this one and the other one doesn't trigger the warning. This made me do some research and basically I think the problem is in `find-tag-regexp': (defun find-tag-regexp (regexp &optional next-p other-window) "(snip doc)" (declare (obsolete xref-find-apropos "25.1")) (interactive (find-tag-interactive "Find tag regexp: " t)) ;; We go through find-tag-other-window to do all the display hair there. (funcall (if other-window 'find-tag-other-window 'find-tag) regexp next-p t)) As you can see, it starts with a `declare' form instead of the `interactive' form, and I think it confuses the `defadvice'. Tell me if you need more information. Thanks in advance, Philippe
