Hi there,
I've been trying out the nativecomp branch and I use straight.el as my
package manager.
One of the things that it does is throw when it detects that its own
compiled bytecode has changed. It does this from within straight.el:
(eval
`(unless (equal
(emacs-version)
,(eval-when-compile (emacs-version)))
(throw 'emacs-version-changed nil)))
https://github.com/raxod502/straight.el/blob/2d407bccd9378f1d5218f8ba2ae85c6be73fbaf1/straight.el#L45-L49
It then catches within bootstrap.el, which loads straight.el:
(catch 'emacs-version-changed
;; straight.el has a fun hack that throws
;; `emacs-version-changed' if the version of Emacs has changed
;; since the last time it was byte-compiled. This prevents us
;; from accidentally loading invalid byte-code, hopefully.
(load (expand-file-name (concat straight.el "c")
default-directory)
nil 'nomessage 'nosuffix)
(setq emacs-version-changed nil))
https://github.com/raxod502/straight.el/blob/2d407bccd9378f1d5218f8ba2ae85c6be73fbaf1/bootstrap.el#L47-L54
Unfortunately, this doesn't work with nativecomp. It claims that
there's no matching catch when a throw actually happens.
Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading
‘/Users/aaronjensen/.emacs.d/early-init.el’:
No catch for tag: emacs-version-changed, nil
To reproduce, you should be able to use the bootstrap code:
https://github.com/raxod502/straight.el#bootstrapping-straightel
Then recompile emacs (which changes the value of emacs-version) and run again.
I tried narrowing it down to just a try/catch in two different files
and that worked, so there must be something more peculiar going on
here.
