Re: 23.0.50; interactive-form on advised commands returns compiled advice

[T. V. Raman]

Stefane,

Here is some sample code.

If you byte compile this, then calling interactive-form on foo
will return the byte-compiled code.
;;; Define a function that uses interactive 

(defun foo (c)
(interactive "cChar:")
c)

;;; replace the interactive form via advice 

(defadvice foo (before test pre act comp)
          "Advice the interactive form."
          (interactive
(list
(progn 
(message "hello")
(read-char "Char:")))))

           
;;; (interactive-form 'foo)
;;; returns the new interactive form.

Now byte-compile this code -- you get the compiled code when you
call interactive-form.
Strictly speaking it's unclear whether this is in fact a bug. But
it would be nice if interactive-form 
did not return compiled code.
