Re: Emacs aborts during byte-compilation from Dired

[Kim F. Storm]

If you M-x byte-compile-file this reduced version,
Emacs will loop while byte-compiling the defun.

;;;--------------------------
(defconst ozdoc-mark-begin "\004B")

(defun ozdoc-next-mark ()
  "leaves point in front of next <MARK ...>"
  (skip-chars-forward "^\004"))

(defun ozdoc-parse-spec ()
  t)


;;; Local Variables: ***
;;; mode: emacs-lisp ***
;;; byte-compile-dynamic-docstrings: nil ***
;;; byte-compile-compatibility: t ***
;;; End: ***
;;;--------------------------

Again, Qt looks bogus:

(gdb) p Qt
$5 = 137819681
(gdb) xtype
Lisp_Symbol
(gdb) xsymbol
$6 = (struct Lisp_Symbol *) 0x836f620
0
(gdb) 


Removing this line seems to cure the problem:

;;; byte-compile-compatibility: t ***
