In several recent releases of Carbon Emacs, there's a literal ^L at
the bottom of the bundled cc-menus.el (Resources/lisp/progmodes).

This stops the file from working. Removing it brings back full
functionality for doing things like viewing an imenu of method names
in an Objective-C file.

I don't see it in the original Emacs source, so I think it may be a
bug in Carbon Emacs, specifically.

    http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/tree/lisp/progmodes/cc-men...

Is there a bug tracker for Carbon Emacs? Or where should I file a
patch?

Thanks,

That's not likely. Because no-one/nothing uses the Elisp file, only  
the byte-compiled version is used by Emacs. The source files added  
because GPL requires this.

I checked the following files:

        /sw/share/emacs/22.3/lisp/progmodes/cc-menus.el.gz
        /sw/share/emacs/22.3-carbon/lisp/progmodes/cc-menus.el.gz
        /usr/local/share/emacs/22.1.50/lisp/progmodes/cc-menus.el.gz
        /usr/local/share/emacs/22.2/lisp/progmodes/cc-menus.el.gz
        /usr/local/share/emacs/23.0.60/lisp/progmodes/cc-menus.el.gz
        /usr/local/share/emacs/23.0.90/lisp/progmodes/cc-menus.el.gz
        /usr/local/share/emacs/23.0.91/lisp/progmodes/cc-menus.el.gz
        /usr/local/share/emacs/23.0.92/lisp/progmodes/cc-menus.el.gz
        /usr/local/share/emacs/23.0.93/lisp/progmodes/cc-menus.el.gz
        /usr/local/share/emacs/23.0.94/lisp/progmodes/cc-menus.el.gz
        /usr/local/share/emacs/23.1/lisp/progmodes/cc-menus.el.gz
        /usr/local/share/emacs/23.1.50/lisp/progmodes/cc-menus.el.gz

All have ^L before the line

        (cc-provide 'cc-menus)

This character is invisible for Lisp, only a printer sees it and  
ejects the page.

That's cc-mode.el in emacs 23.

In Emacs 22, you will see ^L in cc-menus.el
(e.g. /usr/share/emacs/22.1/lisp/progmodes/cc-menus.el.gz).
At present, Carbon Emacs is based on Emacs 22.

You can send a patch to this mailing list.

Cheers,

There's many of these in there.  It's an old line feed.  It's a stupid  
convention, especially because Emacs doesn't show it as line-feed.

Still, I don't see why this would break any functionality.  Geoffrey,  
can you explain?

It sounds like I need to figure out the problem more specifically
before I can report a bug. An any rate, it does work for me if I
remove that line (could that force a recompilation of the file?).

So for the meantime I'll just do that on my installations of Carbon
Emacs. Maybe I'll figure out the reason why later.

Thanks,

Only if you rebuild the application from its sources.

And changing the EL file while the ELC is used cannot bring any change.

I'm sure that it is configured somewhere in my .emacs, but the copies
of emacs that I have access to all prefer a newer *.el file to an
older byte-compiled version.

If if there is a problem with a byte compiled file (corrupted in
transfer, etc), merely touching the corresponding .el file will fix
the problem.
