Hi all,

I'm having trouble getting the example in
:help complete()
to work. When I hit <F5> in Insert mode, I get this:
Error detected while processing function ListMonths:
line 1:
E523: Not allowed here
I have :set nosecure.
Having this instead fixes the problem:
inoremap <F5> <C-r>=ListMonths()<CR>
Looks like a bug. I wasn't sure if this has been fixed.

Looks to me like a documentation bug. I believe you got it right, and the
helpfile got it wrong.
Best regards,
Tony.
Does this mean that <expr> isn't allowed for complete()? It mentioned at
the top of ":help complete()" that both :map-<expr> and <C-r>= were
allowed. Isn't
imap <expr> <F5> MyFunction()
and
imap <F5> <C-r>=MyFunction()<CR>
pretty much the same? Or at the very least, the same in terms of
security (see :help E523)?

Sorry, the <expr> in the given example had escaped me. They /ought to/ be
synonymous, but the <C-R>= mechanism is older; <expr> is new in version 7,
which means perhaps it hasn't yet got all its bugs ironed out.
":help E523" is the same as ":help 'secure'". Are you sure this option isn't
set unbeknownst to you? When the error happens, what does ":verbose set
secure?" (without the quotes but with the question mark) reply? If it does
return "nosecure" then I guess it's a bug.
Yes, it does return "nosecure". Everything unchanged, when I tried the
<C-r>= version, it works. It looks like a bug from my side. Do you
notice the same? Anybody else?
