27.0.50; completing-read-multiple chokes on list of default values |
Date: |

0001-Support-list-of-default-values-in-completing-read-mu.patch
Description: Text Data
Steps to reproduce:
1) emacs -Q
2) Evaluate the following form:
(let ((l '("a" "b")))
(completing-read-multiple "" l nil nil nil nil l))
3) C-m
I expect this to result in the string "a", as is the case when
completing-read-multiple is replaced with completing-read in step 2,
given the following excerpt from the docstring of c-r-m:
The arguments are the same as those of `completing-read'.
Instead, the following error is signalled:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp ("a" "b"))
string-match("[ \011]*,[ \011]*" ("a" "b") 0)
split-string(("a" "b") "[ \011]*,[ \011]*" t)
completing-read-multiple("" ("a" "b") nil nil nil nil ("a" "b"))
I attach a fix which follows the implementation of
completing-read-default.
Thanks,
