bug#6893: evaluating `'#'(lambda (b) b)8 ; => 8 with `eval-last-sexp' "C-x C-e" in `emacs-lisp-mode' |

Interactive invocation of `eval-last-sexp' (e.g. "C-x C-e" ) in
Emacs-lisp mode buffer for this form:
`'#'(lambda (b) b)8
;=> 8
`eval-last-sexp' for this makes (some) sense:
`'#'(lambda (b) b)
;=> (quote (function (lambda (b) b)))
And so, presumably the above is equivalent to:
(eval '(list 'quote '(function (lambda (b) b))))
;=> (quote (function (lambda (b) b)))
But what is the equivalent form which would explain the results for
following:
`'#'(lambda (b) b)8
;=> 8
Surely it isn't this:
(funcall (eval (eval (eval '(list 'quote '(function (lambda (b) b)))))) 8)
;=> 8
If it is, then why is eval'ing the same `'#'(lambda (b) b)8 form with
`eval-expression' (e.g. "M-:") met with the message:
"Trailing garbage following expression"
Likewise, giving `eval-expression' this form lands me in the debugger:
(`'#'(lambda (b) b) 8)
;=> Debugger entered--Lisp error:
(wrong-number-of-arguments #[(structure) "\301!A\207"
[structure backquote-process] 2 1720176] 2)
Reproducable on 23.2 with emacs -Q
