Also GNU Emacs adds some new compilation warnings at every new major version. The single case pointed out by Keita is surely funny, but relying on a 8-year old platform, somewhat incompatible with the main target platform, to possibly detect bugs doesn't look very effective to me ;-) Bye, Mosè _______________________________________________ auctex-devel mailing list auctex-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/auctex-devel
