Ah, now I see what happened and I found the bug. I was actually being asked for another variable in the same Local Variables stanza. If you add the following to a file, make recompile will compile it:
;; Local Variables: ;; no-byte-compile: t ;; url-unreserved-chars: nil ;; End I think the byte compiler needs a way to ignore all local variables except those specific few it is interested in--and thus avoid ever asking for confirmation. Does anyone see a way in which that will fail to do the job? I think other commands will want more or less the same facility (but with a different list of significant variables). So the implementation should be at least a little bit general. Perhaps involving a variable that specifies the list of variables to pay attention to. _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
