Hello!

While opening a TeX file starting with

	%% -*- mode: LaTeX; coding: utf-8-unix; -*-

and ending with

	%%% fill-column: 99999
	%%% coding: utf-8-unix
	%%% TeX-command-default: "XeLaTeX5E"
	%%% End:

This instance of GNU Emacs is compiled by me. AUCTeX is installed via MacPorts, and when I launch MacPorts' GNU Emacs 29 (from GIT) it does not complain. The file emacs.desktop-ns exists, in two different directories, for both versions. The contain exactly the same block of information about the file. For HNU Emacs 28.0.90 this block ends at character position 5766.

I don't know which version of GNU Emacs was used to build MacPorts package, a "port", of AUCTeX 12.3. The shadowed files in "/Library/Application Support/Emacs" are installed to be shared by all Emacsen. Most of them are just symbolic-links.

`string-match' has 2 mandatory and 2 optional args in my current emacs
29/master but only 2 mandatory plus one optional argument in emacs
27/28.

I don't know what an emacs.desktop-ns file is but it looks like your
AUCTeX version was compiled with emacs 29 where string-match has up to 4
arguments whereas your emacs 28 version has at most 3, hence the error.

In emacs 29, string-match-p will be compiled to the 4-arg version of
string-match.  Up to emacs 28, that's different.

In any case: you can run byte-code produced by older emacs versions in
newer emacs versions but not the other way round.  I'm closing this
issue.

Bye,
Tassilo
