[slime-devel] Autodoc and partial forms

Hello,

The autodoc feature is broken for partial forms that are succeeded by top-level forms. For example, if the buffer contains the following text -

(defun

(defun foo (x) (+ x 1))

- and point is after the first defun and before the beginning of the second defun, no autodoc string will appear in the minibuffer.

The reason for this, essentially, is that slime-inside-string-p calls slime-region-for-defun-at-point, which calls end-of-defun, which signals an error. slime-inside-string-p only needs the position of the beginning of the defun from slime-region-for-defun-at-point. I chose to fix it, however, by changing what the latter does. If the end position cannot be determined, nil will be used in its place.

Patch is attached.
