Re: Another bug with the macro counter

[Kim F. Storm]

Thanks for working on this problem!


I don't quite follow the logic here:

+   (or (not (featurep 'kmacro))
+       appending-to-kbd-macro
+       ;; never exits the or.
+       (setq appending-to-kbd-macro nil)
+       (with-no-warnings (kmacro-ring-empty-p))
+       (with-no-warnings (kmacro-pop-ring)))

If appending-to-kbd-macro is non-nil in the second line, you don't get
to the third line which sets it to nil (i.e. it is only set to nil if
it is already nil).

I think it will be better if kmacro.el defines a function

(defun kmacro-quit ()
   (or appending-to-kbd-macro
       (kmacro-ring-empty-p)
       (kmacro-pop-ring))
   (setq appending-to-kbd-macro nil))

which does the cleanup and then simply call this as

      (if (fboundp 'kmacro-quit)
        (kmacro-quit))

in keyboard-quit.

Or even better, define a keyboard-quit-hook and add kmacro-quit to it.

Here is a patch which does that:
