I was wrong. I've just added the needed requires to all style files, but I get exactly as many warnings as before. This is because of these reasons. 1. Many TeX-* and LaTeX-* functions and variables are not generated before tex.el and latex.el are loaded. AUCTeX has an auto parser facility that generates a parser for some kind of LaTeX thingy. Typical "thingies" in LaTeX are symbols/macros, environments, lengths, counters, or labels. For each such thingy, functions and variables named TeX-thingy-* or LaTeX-thingy-* are generated. E.g., tex.el itself does (TeX-auto-add-type "symbol" "TeX") which generates functions/vars TeX-symbol-list, TeX-symbol-list-filtered, TeX-symbol-changed, etc. (And the same for 10 other thingies.) The byte-compiler doesn't seem to execute top-level funcalls, so all those functions/vars are unknown at compile-time. 2. The AUCTeX's auto parser is open to be used for style-files, too. For example, style/acronym.el does (TeX-auto-add-type "acronym" "LaTeX") which when evaluated creates LaTeX-acronym-list, etc. Again, those are unknown to the byte-compiler. I guess I should wrap those TeX-auto-add-type calls with a `eval-when-compile', right? 3. How should one deal with code like this? (when (featurep 'font-latex) (font-latex-add-keywords ...)) 4. Or with code like this? (defun foo () (require 'url-util) (url-util-* ...))
