--text follows this line--
To reproduce:
emacs -Q
C-x C-f lisp/subr.el RET
M-? executing-kbd-macro RET
The result is disappointing:
No references found for: executing-kbd-macro
The equivalent command in a C buffer (for a C symbol) does work as
expected.
I'm guessing that something is missing in the Lisp xref back-end that
doesn't let us support this operation. However, I don't think we can
ship Emacs 25.1 with such an omission. Lisp is one of the 2 languages
in which Emacs is written, so we ought to support it well.
Can someone please implement the necessary functionality on the
emacs-25 branch? Bonus points for doing that for a few more popular
languages for which we have support in lisp/progmodes/.
(This came up in the context of rewriting the "Tags Tables" section of
the user manual, where etags.el functionality now takes a back seat to
xref.el. Part of that is documenting the xref-find-references
command. But we cannot in good faith advertise a brand-new command
when its support for Lisp is so incomplete. It doesn't look good.)
This bug will be a release blocker for v25.1.
