I'm always edebugging a lot, and last night it failed mysteriously with
this message at seemingly odd, by reproducible points:
Wrong type argument: arrayp, auth-source-backend
I drilled down to try to see what's going on, and I think the culprit is
auth-source, somehow.
If I edebug `nntp-send-authinfo', for instance, it will fail with that
error message when it reaches this point:
(nth 0 (auth-source-search :max 1
;; TODO: allow the virtual server name too
:host nntp-address
:port '("119" "nntp"))))
I haven't looked any further down what's going on. Does the EIEIO stuff
make edebug bug out? Or something?

defclass probably needs a debug declaration (*Note (elisp) Instrumenting
Macro Calls::).

Hm...
The doc says:
---
If a macro has no Edebug specification, neither through a `debug'
declaration nor through a `def-edebug-spec' call, the variable
`edebug-eval-macro-args' comes into play.
-- User Option: edebug-eval-macro-args
This controls the way Edebug treats macro arguments with no
explicit Edebug specification. If it is `nil' (the default), none
of the arguments is instrumented for evaluation. Otherwise, all
arguments are instrumented.
---
And it is nil, so shouldn't edebug just ignore this? And I haven't
actually asked edebug to instrument any of the auth-source functions,
just functions that eventually lead to auth-source being called, so
edebug shouldn't know about that stuff anyway, should it? *scratches
head*

You got me. I don't use edebug, only (debug) calls, the printf of
ELisp. I keep meaning to learn edebug but haven't had the time.

edebug is really easy to use. Just say `M-x edebug-defun', and then
you'll be popped to a buffer showing the code when it's called, and you
can `SPC' though it. I wouldn't be able to do anything on as old a code
base as Gnus without it. :-)

It's surprisingly nice. Thanks for mentioning it. I looked through
(info "(elisp) Edebug") and it answered all my questions. It's nice
that you can just say `C-u C-M-x' to call `edebug-defun'.
