bug#4616: 23.1.50; empty script files

[Markus Rost]

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:


Execute an Emacs script file with no actual lisp code in it, like this:

===File ~/x.el==============================================
#!/home/rost/build/cvs/emacs/src/emacs --script

============================================================

One gets an error:

End of file during parsing: /home/rost/x.el

Same problem if the file has some additional ";"-commented lines in it.
No problem if there is a single not commented lisp expression in it,
like "()".

This patch fixes the problem for me:

          while (c != '\n' && c >= 0)
            c = READCHAR;
!         goto retry;
        }
        if (c == '$')
        return Vload_file_name;
--- 2613,2619 ----
             Skip the first line.  */
          while (c != '\n' && c >= 0)
            c = READCHAR;
!         return Qnil;
        }
        if (c == '$')
        return Vload_file_name;


If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/home/rost/build/cvs/emacs/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
