bug#8108: 24.0.50; debugging pre-write-conversion in define-coding-system

[Werner LEMBERG]

----------------------------------------------------------------------


I'm updating my cjk-enc.el package (part of the CJK bundle for LaTeX)
to replace make-coding-system with define-coding-system.  However, I
can't debug it.

In previous Emacs versions, I've instrumented the function used for
the pre-write-conversion hook, and the debugger correctly stops there.
However, with a recent Emacs (bzr version 103411 from today) this no
longer works.  Is this a bug?  Am I missing something?

Here's an example, defining an encoding called `foo-coding'.  Trying
to instrument `foo-encode', then saving an arbitrary test file with
`foo-coding', the debugger doesn't get invoked.


(define-coding-system
  'foo-coding
  "Coding-system foo"
  :mnemonic ?c
  :coding-type 'emacs-mule
  :charset-list '(ascii)
  :pre-write-conversion 'foo-encode)

(defun foo-encode (from to)
  (insert "foo"))
