The documentation under "Function: regexp-opt" says:


The resulting regexp of regexp-opt is equivalent to but usually more efficient than that of a simplified version: 

 (defun simplified-regexp-opt (strings &optional paren)
           (let ((parens
                  (cond
                   ((stringp paren)       (cons paren "\\)"))
                   ((eq paren 'words)    '("\\<\\(" . "\\)\\>"))
                   ((eq paren 'symbols) '("\\_<\\(" . "\\)\\_>"))
                   ((null paren)          '("\\(?:" . "\\)"))
                   (t                       '("\\(" . "\\)")))))
             (concat (car paren) ;; BUG: should be parens, not paren?
                     (mapconcat 'regexp-quote strings "\\|")
                     (cdr paren)))) ;; BUG: should be parens, not paren?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The expressions on the third last line and the last line should be (car parens) and (cdr parens), no?

Yes, thanks.

It was fixed in the sources a while ago and it's already correct in
26.2.90, the current pretest release for 26.3.

You can download a source tarball of 26.2.90 here:

Sorry, my bad.

You were talking about the info documentation, which is indeed not
fixed, not about the function's docstring (which is).

Ok, I backported the fix already in the master branch, so it should be
fixed now.

Thanks
