Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and
what in fact did happen.

Be sure to consult the FAQ section in the manual before submitting
a bug report.  In addition check if the bug is reproducable with an
up-to-date version of AUCTeX.  So please upgrade to the version
available from http://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/ if your
installation is older than the one available from the web site.

If the bug is triggered by a specific (La)TeX file, you should try
to produce a minimal sample file showing the problem and include it
in your report.

Your report will be posted for the auctex package at the GNU bug
tracker.  Visit http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=auctex

I set in my latex main file: 

%%% TeX-command-extra-options: "-src-specials -recorder -shell-escape"

Nevertheless, when running the pdflatex compiler, 
the only option I receive is -shell-escape, the last one.

Does this happen only for one document or every documents?  I mean, in
every documents do you always have "-shell-escape" in the command use
to compile the document, irrespective of the value of
`TeX-command-extra-options'?  In addition, what's the value of
`LaTeX-command-style' option for you?

Bye,
Mosè

So, whatever the value of `TeX-command-extra-options' the command
executed is always the same?

No, because if guess correctly, I suspect you customized
`LaTeX-command-style'.  What's the value of this option?

I find:


Hide Latex Command Style:
INS DEL Regexp:
            Style: %(PDF)%(latex) %(file-line-error) %(extraopts)
%S%(PDFout)
INS
    State : STANDARD.
   List of style options and LaTeX commands. Hide...



UPDATE:
My main file ends with

%%% Local Variables:
%%% mode: latex
%%% TeX-command-extra-options: "-src-specials -recorder -shell-escape"
%%% TeX-master: t
%%% End:


and now the log file shows:


Running `LaTeX' on `manualLatexMavenPlugin' with ``pdflatex 
-file-line-error -src-specials -recorder-shell-escape  --synctex=1
-interaction=nonstopmode "\input" manualLatexMavenPlugin.tex''

This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.15 (TeX Live 2014)
(preloaded format=pdflatex)
 restricted \write18 enabled.
 Source specials enabled.
entering extended mode


So the blank between -recorder and -shell-escape seems to be ignored.
How can this be?
And how to explain that the behavior changed???

Does it help if you pass the extra options as a list?  I.e.:

%%% TeX-command-extra-options: '("-src-specials -recorder -shell-escape")

If yes, we only have to find out why ;-)

No idea, really, above all the fact that you're experiencing a
different problem now without having changed anything, I guess.  Do
you have customizations related to AUCTeX in your init file?

Hi Ernst,

do you have `TeX-auto-save' and `TeX-parse-self' variables set to
non-nil?  If so, try this: delete the autogenerated file (the file in
the "auto/" subdirectoy and with the same basename of your master file
and ".el" extension), then restart Emacs and reparse the LaTeX file
with C-c C-n.  Does this solve your issue?

(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)

No further comments, therefore I'm closing this report.
