Subject: Two questions about byte compilation
Date: Sun, 12 Jan 2003 22:27:46 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87smvyuhp9.fsf@mulligatwani.msrl.com> (raw)

1. The skip-boring patch I've written tries to add to gnus.art:

    (defcustom gnus-article-boring-faces (cons 'gnus-signature-face
                                               gnus-cite-face-list)
        [...]

   This doesn't byte-compile properly, because gnus-cite-face-list is
   undefined.  However, I can't (require 'gnus-cite), because
   gnus-cite.el has (require 'gnus-art) and the byte-compiler loops
   until hitting the recursion limit.

   What is the right way to fix this?


2. Why does dgnushack.el wrap an (ignore-errors) around the call to
   byte-compile-file?  This causes files with errors to silently fail
   to compile; then after "make install" you have a mix of old and new
   files, with no warning.
