I'm guessing that there is not a bug here, as this seems to happen for
all Emacs versions I have. But it seems like it should be a bug. I
would like to understand it, in any case.
In crosshairs.el I require vline.el and hl-line+.el:
(require 'vline)
(require 'hl-line+)
In start.el I wrap requiring crosshairs.el with `ignore-errors'
(`condition-case', for compatibility with older releases):
(condition-case nil
(require 'crosshairs nil t)
(error nil))
If I remove vline.el from my load-path and then try to load
crosshairs.el then I get this error:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (file-error "Cannot open load file" "No such file
or directory" "vline")
require(vline)
byte-code("..." [require vline custom-declare-group column-highlight nil
"..."] 20)
require(col-highlight)
byte-code("..." [require hl-line+ col-highlight custom-declare-group
crosshairs nil "..." ...] 20)
require(crosshairs nil t)
Why is that? Shouldn't the `condition-case' cause the load error for
vline.el to be ignored, since it occurs as part of the loading of
crosshairs.el?
In GNU Emacs 25.2.1 (x86_64-w64-mingw32)
of 2017-04-24 built on LAPHROAIG
Windowing system distributor 'Microsoft Corp.', version 6.1.7601
Configured using:
