(eval-when-compile (require 'cl))
If I do load-library <RET> gud <RET>
then gud is loaded and cl is not, as you would expect.
That is because you're loading the compiled file.
However, if I put gud.el in a buffer and do eval-buffer, cl *is* loaded.
Even if I just evaluate the above expression cl is loaded.
That is because you are loading the source.
It would do the same if you load gud.el.
Does the manual's explanation eval-when-compile not make this clear?
