11 Emacs 51.70. |
25852 | 12 |
13 Unfortunately, I can never seem to start the debugger early | |
14 enough to catch the error as it happens. However I have traced the | |
15 problem through source by eye, and it looks like `time-forward' can't | |
16 handle negative arguments anymore. This is consistent with other | |
17 symptoms: for example, `undo' (which since 51.25 has worked by passing | |
18 a negative arg to `time-forward') is also broken. However, `do' still | |
19 works -- it seems that `time-forward' continues to handle positive | |
20 arguments just fine. | |
21 | |
22 No one here-and-now can figure out how to fix the problem, | |
23 because the code for `time-forward' is so hairy. We're using M-x | |
24 report-future-emacs-bug to request that you folks include more | |
25 comments when you write it (sometime in 2198 as I recall). | |

27 Thanks! | |

32 P.S. You'll be pleased to know that since (time-forward N) still works | |
33 for N >= 0, we've used it to pre-emptively update configure.in. | |
34 Emacs now configures and builds on every platform that will ever | |
35 be made. It wasn't easy, but at least that's one problem out of | |
36 the way for good. If you'd like the patch, just ask. | |
