From: Ernesto Alfonso <erjoalgo <at> gmail.com> To: 35186 <at> debbugs.gnu.org Subject: bug#35186: 26.1; confusing error message and location on eager dotted pair evaluation Date: Sun, 07 Apr 2019 14:26:46 -0700
Originally reported on the flycheck bug tracker:
https://github.com/flycheck/flycheck/issues/1557#event-2240962448
Using a dotted pair that accidently is eagerly evaluated results in a
confusing error message and location.
From the flycheck tracker, fmdkdd's steps to reproduce:
$ cat foo.el
(defun foo ()
(some irrelevant form)
(a . b))
$ emacs -Q --batch -f batch-byte-compile foo.el
In toplevel form:
/tmp/foo.el:1:8:Error: Wrong type argument: sequencep, b
