From: Mattias Engdegård Date: Sun, 15 Oct 2023 20:01:06 +0000 (+0200) Subject: Move lexical-binding warning from checkdoc to byte-compiler X-Git-Url: http://git.eshelyaron.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a3db503351e9a8720cdea2f1ca42d55d2de684e2;p=emacs.git Move lexical-binding warning from checkdoc to byte-compiler This warning is much more appropriate for the compiler, since lexical binding affects what it can reason and warn about, than for checkdoc as the warning has no bearing to documentation at all. The move also improves the reach of the warning. * etc/NEWS: Update. * lisp/emacs-lisp/checkdoc.el (checkdoc-lexical-binding-flag) (checkdoc-file-comments-engine): Move warning from here.... * lisp/emacs-lisp/bytecomp.el (byte-compile-file): ...to here. * test/lisp/emacs-lisp/bytecomp-resources/no-byte-compile.el: * test/lisp/emacs-lisp/bytecomp-tests.el (bytecomp-tests--unescaped-char-literals) (bytecomp-tests-function-put, bytecomp-tests--not-writable-directory) (bytecomp-tests--target-file-no-directory): Update tests.
