Subject: 30.0.50; eldoc.el: eldoc--invoke-strategy: register-doc defined
 with 4 args, called with 5
Date: Sat, 16 Sep 2023 17:16:14 +0800

Emacs master, hash f13b08be11533c546fed257dcf8e3812a53b672a

Line 883 in file eldoc.el defines a lexical function register-doc with 4
argumenst (pos string plist origin), which is later, at line 931, called
with 5 arguments, (register-doc 0 res nil nil
eldoc-documentation-strategy), which leads to an exception.

I encountered this error with mu4e, which is, I guess, using the "old
protocol" for its documentation functions. mu4e's documentation function
is mu4e-headers-eldoc-function, which returns a string. I haven't
understood the differences between the "new protocol" and the "old
protocol", but I guess, in the new protocol there is some callback to
call with the doc message, i.e. the function cannot just return a
string.

So far I have replaced the prototype for register-doc, from (pos string
plist origin) I have made it (pos string plist origin &rest o), and
things seem to work, although I am not sure how good this solution is.
Maybe it is worth adding a try-catch there, and process the "old
protocol" in an exception handler, since, I guess eventually everyone
should use the new protocol.

I don't see the 5-arg call.  What I see on the current master branch
around like 931 is this:

        ;; Observe the old and the new protocol:
        (cond (;; Old protocol: got string, e-d-strategy is iself the
               ;; origin function, and we output immediately;
               (stringp res)
               (register-doc 0 res nil eldoc-documentation-strategy)

This calls register-doc with 4 arguments, not 5.

Do you have some local changes, per chance?  Or maybe you are not on
the master branch?

I am pretty sure it is master, but let me check if my build is somehow broken.

Please do check, I have a more-than-faint recollection I
already fixed this bug some months ago.  Eldoc is an ELPA
:core package.  You may somehow be using a version of it
which is shadowing master's (though I don't see it in
your report of 'load-path-shadows').

Yes, apologies, very stupid of me.

This eldoc problem is specific to my build. It is even more ironic
that it was me who found the problem with this file in March, and
reported it, and the bug was eventually fixed.
Now my improvised patch that I have been using since to compensate for
that bug that I had reported in March actually conflicts (expectedly)
with the actual fix merged-in later.

They say that amnesia is a great illness, because if you have amnesia,
you don't remember that you have dementia.
Describes my case precisely.

This bug should be closed. Apologies once again.

Closing.  No need to apologize: mistakes happen all the time to all of
us.
