[gnu.emacs.bug] parse-sexp-ignore-comments

loic@axis.axis.fr (04/06/89)

In GNU Emacs 18.52.10 of Sun Feb 19 1989 on axis_d (usg-unix-v)

Here is the failure :

(setq parse-sexp-ignore-comments t)  ;; default is nil

Then try to backward-sexp at the end of this

(a
 b)<point is here>

It says : Unbalanced parentheses

forward-sexp works fine with this

(a
;;; foobar)
b)


   Thanks.
