I'm getting the following error in the x-enabled version of cygwin
emacs:
** ad-Orig-documentation called with 5 arguments, but accepts only 1-2
The bug is very reproduceable by defining the following two lisp
functions:
(defun foo ()
(interactive)
(message "hi"))
(defadvice foo (before example-advice act comp))
Here is what little I know of the problem:
1. The error is advice on the documentation function rather than on
the function I advised, foo. The advice.el documentation says:
"Once Advice has been started ... it generates an advised
definition of the `documentation' function". So most likely, here
lies the error. No reason to suspect ntsec.
2. The error does not occur with the same source code with either nt
emacs (non-cygwin version) or "/bin/emacs-nox -q".
3. It does occur with "/bin/emacs -q -nw".
4. The advice suggested recently here of completely deleting and
reinstalling a clean cygwin (because of possible ntsec issues)
does not solve the problem for me.
5. A google search for "ad-Orig-documentation" yields 6 results, none
of which are helpful.
I'm not sure how to continue debugging this issue. I'm studying
advice.el now.
Cheers,
