Re: Another bug with the macro counter

[Richard Stallman]

    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))

That is definitely cleaner.
