vm-summary-faces-mode doesn't autoload

[Uday Reddy]

The autoload for vm-summary-faces-mode isn't working for some reason. This is version 706 in the trunk. But other versions have also given this problem.

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Autoloading failed to define function vm-summary-faces-mode")
  (vm-summary-faces-mode 1)
  eval((vm-summary-faces-mode 1))
  eval-last-sexp-1(t)
  eval-last-sexp(t)
  eval-print-last-sexp()
  call-interactively(eval-print-last-sexp)

It looks like something goes wrong in the compilation of this file.
The .el file loads and works ok. Loading the .elc file gives the
error.

[Uday Reddy (reddyuday)]

This is working ok on my home PC, but not on my work PC. I am not able to tell what the difference between them is. I will upload both the .elc files to see if you can figure out what might be happening.

Here is the Work PC version of the .elc file.

The "work pc" version contains calls to "vm-select-folder-buffer". However, this is defined with defsubst and should be expanded (and it is in the "home pc" version).

I've no idea why it works in one case but not in the other, but can you try if adding "(require 'vm-macro)" (as in attached patch) fixes it?

I don't know how you found this out. Good work!

But, unfortunately, I still get the same error message that
autoloading failed to define the function. I am going to try a few
more things to see what is going on.

Cheers,

[Uday Reddy (reddyuday)]

Ok, I figured it out. I had another defunct version of
vm-summary-faces on my load-path. Silly me!

I will mark the bug report as invalid.

Thanks for all your help. I guess we at least found one real bug in
the process!

Cheers,
Uday
