[random speculations snipped] If you open foo.elc with Emacs, you can see that the compiled definition for `foo' contains a compiled definition for `bar'. If you still have a doubt, you can: M-x load-file foo.elc ESC ESC : (foo) ;; this defines `bar' and signals an error because `rest-of-foo-stuff' ;; is not defined... M-x debug-on-entry bar ESC ESC : (bar) d ;; and you see: Debugger entered--beginning evaluation of function call form: * (byte-code "À �" [bar-stuff] 1) * bar() eval((bar)) eval-expression((bar) nil) call-interactively(eval-expression) HTH, Thierry -- thierry |point| emery |chez| free |point| fr _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list Help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
