Re: reading compile.el, modifying settings

[Tassilo Horn]

Hi Paul,

I've just tested what you are doing with a current emacs 24 bzr
checkout.

,----[ ~/test.el ]
| (require 'compile)  ; works
| ;; (load "compile") ;; works, too
| 
| (load "~/test2.el")
`----

,----[ ~/test2.el ]
| (setq compilation-error-regexp-alist "test")
`----

Now I start emacs using

  $ emacs -Q -l ~/test.el

and in there I have:

,----[ C-h v compilation-error-regexp-alist ]
| compilation-error-regexp-alist is a variable defined in `compile.el'.
| Its value is "test"
| Original value was 
| (absoft ... perl--Test2 perl--Test::Harness weblint)
`----

So I cannot reproduce the issue.

Bye,
Tassilo
