Subject: 28.0.50; pcase macroexpander for rx is not autoloaded
Date: Sun, 22 Nov 2020 21:37:57 +0000

Severity: wishlist

0. emacs -Q
1. (pcase "a" ((rx "a")))
2. C-x C-s /tmp/a.el RET
3. M-x compile RET
4. C-a C-k emacs -Q -batch -f batch-byte-compile a.el RET

This fails with:

  In toplevel form:
  a.el:4:1: Error: Unknown rx pattern: (rx "a")

This can be solved by adding (require 'rx) to the file.  Given that all
other rx.el entry points are autoloaded, however, I was wondering
whether the same could be done for its pcase macroexpander.

Would adding an autoload cookie before (pcase-defmacro rx ...) work?

Thanks,

It's possible...  have you tried?  :-)

Thank you for suggesting this -- autoloading a pcase macro seems to work and it is now done for the rx expander.
