Gnus (www.gnus.org), GNU Emacs (www.gnu.org/software/emacs/) |
Package: emacs
Version: 24.2.50
In Emacs 24.2, this works:
emacs -Q -l cl
(letf ((b))
(setq b 99))
Evaluating this returns `99', and leaves `b' unbound. This behaviour is
documented in cl.texi:
In most cases, the @var{place} must have a well-defined value on
entry to the @code{letf} form. The only exceptions are plain
variables and calls to @code{symbol-value} and @code{symbol-function}.
If the symbol is not bound on entry, it is simply made unbound by
@code{makunbound} or @code{fmakunbound} on exit.
In current trunk, it throws an error:
Symbol's value as variable is void: b
cl-letf does no better than letf.
