* OClosure: New function `function-documentation`Stefan Monnier2022-04-071-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As mentioned in the original OClosure commit, OClosures (ab)use the bytecode's docstring slot to hold the OClosure's type. This currently prevents OClosures from having their own docstring. Introduce a new generic function `function-documentation` to fetch the docstring of a function, which can then be implemented in various different ways depending on the OClosure's type. * lisp/simple.el (function-documentation): New generic function. (bad-package-check): Strength-reduce `eval` to `symbol-value`. * src/doc.c (Fdocumentation): Use it. * lisp/emacs-lisp/oclosure.el (oclosure--accessor-docstring): New function. * test/lisp/emacs-lisp/oclosure-tests.el (oclosure-test): Add test for accessor's docstrings.
