Subject: non-ascii docstrings and byte-compile-dynamic-docstrings: nil
Date: Wed, 16 Dec 2009 19:11:52 +0100

Hello,

suppose you have a file consisting of the following two lines:


;; -*- byte-compile-dynamic-docstrings: nil -*-
(defvar testvar nil "This docstring includes non-ascii letters like =8e4.")


Byte compile it (e.g. from dired with B). It fails with the following
message:


comp-test.el:2:73:Error: Search failed: "19\\(\\.[0-9]+\\)"


I can reproduce this also with Emacs 23.

I'm afraid I can't reproduce this with Emacs 23, using non-ASCII
characters from the HELLO file.  What is this comp-test.el file?  It's
not included in the normal Emacs distribution---is it your own file?

You can use eg calendar/cal-bahai.el from the distribution, just add
the byte-compile-dynamic-docstrings cookie at the end of the file.

Anyway, this was unintentionally fixed in the current trunk by the
recent simplification of byte-compile-fix-header.
