When invoked, reporter-submit-bug-report will ;; set up a mail buffer with the appropriate bug report address, ;; including a lisp expression the maintainer of the package can use ;; to completely reproduce the environment in which the bug was ;; observed (e.g. by using eval-last-sexp). This package is especially ;; useful for my development of c++-mode.el, which is highly dependent ;; on its configuration variables. ;; ;; Do a "C-h f reporter-submit-bug-report" for more information. ;; Here's an example usage: ;; ;; (defconst mypkg-version "9.801") ;; (defconst mypkg-maintainer-address "mypkg-help@foo.com") ;; (defun mypkg-submit-bug-report () ;; "Submit via mail a bug report on mypkg" ;; (interactive) ;; (require 'reporter) ;; (and (y-or-n-p "Do you really want to submit a report on mypkg? ") ;; (reporter-submit-bug-report ;; mypkg-maintainer-address ;; (concat "mypkg.el " mypkg-version) ;; (list 'mypkg-variable-1 ;; 'mypkg-variable-2 ;; ;; ... ;; 'mypkg-variable-last)))) ;; Mailing List ;; ============ ;; I've set up a mailing list to report bugs or suggest enhancements, ;; etc. This list's intended audience is elisp package authors who are ;; using reporter and want to stay current with releases. Here are the ;; relevent addresses: ;; ;; Administrivia: reporter-request@anthem.nlm.nih.gov ;; Submissions: reporter@anthem.nlm.nih.gov ;; LCD Archive Entry: ;; reporter|Barry A.

Each element in VARLIST can be a variable symbol, or a cons cell. If a symbol, this will be passed to `reporter-dump-variable' for insertion into the mail buffer. If a cons cell, the car must be a variable symbol and the cdr must be a function which will be `funcall'd with the symbol. Use this to write your own custom variable value printers for specific variables. Note that the global variable `reporter-eval-buffer' will be bound to the buffer in which `reporter-submit-bug-report' was invoked. If you want to print the value of a buffer local variable, you should wrap the `eval' call in your custom printer inside a `set-buffer' (and probably a `save-excursion'). `reporter-dump-variable' handles this properly.
