Subject: 29.0.50; Current master fails to bootstrap in the native-compilation
 configuration
Date: Sat, 30 Apr 2022 09:27:16 -0400

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

As Subject says: I cannot bootstrap the current master configure with
native-compilation on GNU/Linux.  The last part of the build before
the failure is attached; it seems to have something to do with if-let
called in files.el, although that code is very old, and if-let is an
autoloaded macro.  Could this have something to do with the latest
changes regarding oclosure etc.?

The system configuration is as shown below, but with native-compilation
enabled.

P.S. Why do we call macros from subr-x, which is not preloaded, in
files.el, which _is_ preloaded?

No, I think it's just the usual "don't load subr-x during bootstrap"
problem.  I've now rewritten the offending function.

I think that's fine, so long as the subr-x isn't loaded during
bootstrap.  If I remember correctly.

However, I think it's high time that we put the if-let family of macros
into subr.  However, that doesn't seem to be trivial -- I tried now and
that broke bootstrap, too.

It was because the internals depended on more stuff from subr-x.el, like
thread-first.  I've now rewritten slightly and moved the macros to
subr.el, so these types of boostrap failures should be history.
