 [nativecomp] wrong-type-argument number-or-marker-p with native
 compiled code only
Date: Sat, 06 Mar 2021 11:21:11 -0800

Hi all,

There is a difference between native compiled code and non-native
compiled code that the wanderlust community has surfaced. It is not
clear to me why this is happening.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Start emacs -q

2. Eval the following code:
```
(require 'comp)
(setq package-native-compile t
      package-archives
      '(("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/")
        ("gnu" . "http://elpa.gnu.org/packages/")))
(package-initialize)
(package-refresh-contents)
(package-install 'flim)
 (while (or comp-files-queue
            (> (comp-async-runnings) 0))
   (sleep-for 1))
(require 'mel)
(message (encoded-text-decode-string "QUJD" "B"))
```
It should print: "ABC"

3. Quit emacs. (This seems necessary, but I'm not sure why.)

4. Start emacs -q again.

5. Eval the code again.

Expected result: "ABC". Actual result:

```
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument number-or-marker-p "QUJD")
  encoded-text-decode-string("QUJD" "B")
  (message (encoded-text-decode-string "QUJD" "B"))
  elisp--eval-last-sexp(nil)
  eval-last-sexp(nil)
  funcall-interactively(eval-last-sexp nil)
  command-execute(eval-last-sexp)
```

Can you try this patch? It might help, or not, but it should be
applied in any case. Cc'ing Andrea.

This seems to have fixed the issue. I built from c60f2f4 and I don’t
see the issue. Thank you so much!

I'm being bold and closing this, as I'm pretty sure it was due to the
bug we fixed. Please reopen if necessary.

Thanks

The fact that you feel sure about this make me suspecting that you may
already have a reproducer for this :)

*If* that's really the case I think would be nice to add it as a
testcase, if it's not never mind.

Thanks

Nah, I'm probably just over-confident :-) . I did reproduce this, but
only in a live session.

Perfectly open question: how would you feel about adding LAP
reproducers for cases like this one, where it's hard to get at the
Lisp source? I think I've got the reproducer LAP code here, and it
shouldn't be too hard to write comp--native-compile-lap, but if you'd
prefer not to go that way I'm perfectly okay with it, too.

Mine was a good try :D

I'm open to the idea of having a new way to stress the code in the
testsuite, I'm a little doubtful this worth of, well certainly for this
specific case where the patch is clearly correct.

What's your feeling about this?

I think this is going to be something we want eventually, but it's
harder than I thought, so I won't pursue this for now.

Okay, lets keep it in mind for the future.
