bug#17446: 24.4.50; What is the situation around `called-interactively-p'?

[Thierry Volpiatto]

Hi,

I recently had to use `called-interactively-p-functions' to fix a
command similar to `repeat-complex-command'.
I used similar hack than the one found in `repeat-complex-command',
but as mentionned in `called-interactively-p' this is not working with
code compiled (I use lexical-binding), thus `dont-compile' have been
made obsolete.

So what to do actually to fix such issues ?

Do you plan to make something better around the terrible
`called-interactively-p' ?

What about a special var to force `called-interactively-p' to return
true when it find this var (Actually this is crashing emacs) ?

It seems the only reason `dont-compile' have been made obsolete is
to force people fixing their code to make it working compiled;
That's ok, but what to do when nothing else is possible ?
IOW why is this obsolete ?

Thanks.
