Subject: bug#60346: VC refresh error "Recursive load"
Date: Mon, 26 Dec 2022 13:26:17 -0800

Hello,

I wanted to ignore byte-compiled files because edebug was refusing to
step into byte-compiled functions.

I ran the following:

emacs -Q --eval="(setq load-suffixes '(\".el\"))"

This broke basic functionality, throwing a "Recursive load" error. For
example, `M-x find-file ~/.emacs.d/init.el` gives:

VC refresh error: (error "Recursive load" "/gnu/store/x8nykb09aqmp2j6k74dpgc4jvbk8c2bl-emacs-next-29.0.50-3.22e8a77/share/emacs/29.0.50/lisp/jka-compr.el.gz" "/gnu/store/x8nykb09aqmp2j6k74dpgc4jvbk8c2bl-emacs-next-29.0.50-3.22e8a77/share/emacs/29.0.50/lisp/jka-compr.el.gz" "/gnu/store/x8nykb09aqmp2j6k74dpgc4jvbk8c2bl-emacs-next-29.0.50-3.22e8a77/share/emacs/29.0.50/lisp/jka-compr.el.gz" "/gnu/store/x8nykb09aqmp2j6k74dpgc4jvbk8c2bl-emacs-next-29.0.50-3.22e8a77/share/emacs/29.0.50/lisp/jka-compr.el.gz" "/gnu/store/x8nykb09aqmp2j6k74dpgc4jvbk8c2bl-emacs-next-29.0.50-3.22e8a77/share/emacs/29.0.50/lisp/jka-compr.el.gz" "/gnu/store/x8nykb09aqmp2j6k74dpgc4jvbk8c2bl-emacs-next-29.0.50-3.22e8a77/share/emacs/29.0.50/lisp/vc/vc-git.el.gz")

Emacs also breaks when load-suffixes are reordered:

emacs -Q --eval="(setq load-suffixes '(\".el\" \".so\" \".elc\"))"

I am running Guix on a foreign distro Debian Bullseye. Shall I send this
issue to the Guix mailing list instead?

Thank you!

Joseph
