Subject: Bug in kmacro.el?
Date: Wed, 28 May 2008 09:36:14 +0200

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs <at> gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

I have saved a macro in one instance of emacs in the file
c:\temp\fwf.el and then started a new instance of emacs, loaded the
file and evaluated the resulting lisp. The lisp looks like this:

(fset 'findwordfile
   (lambda (&optional arg) "Keyboard macro." (interactive "p")
(kmacro-exec-ring-item (quote ("file" 0 "%d")) arg)))

When trying to use the macro, I get this in my minibuffer:

findwordfile: Symbol's function definition is void: kmacro-exec-ring-item

If I put (require 'kmacro) at the beginning of my file containing
macros it works.

Is there a missing autoload before this line?
(defun kmacro-exec-ring-item (item arg)

Thanks for your work.
