Message #5 received at submit <at> debbugs.gnu.org (full text, mbox):
Hello, i've noticed when defining a globalized minor mode using the
define-globalized-minor-mode macro, gives a byte-compile warning about
the auto-generated :predicate variable not being defined.
I found that it's because the macro defines the predicate user option
after defining the minor mode:
(put ',global-mode 'globalized-minor-mode t)
:autoload-end
(defvar-local ,MODE-major-mode nil))
;; The actual global minor-mode
(define-minor-mode ,global-mode
,(concat (format "Toggle %s in all buffers.\n" pretty-name)
(internal--format-docstring-line
...)
;; Setup hook to handle future mode changes and new buffers.
(if ,global-mode
(add-hook 'after-change-major-mode-hook
#',MODE-enable-in-buffer)
(remove-hook 'after-change-major-mode-hook #',MODE-enable-in-buffer))
;; Go through existing buffers.
(dolist (buf (buffer-list))
(with-current-buffer buf
(if ,global-mode (funcall ,turn-on-function)
(when ,mode (,mode -1)))))
,@body)
,(when predicate
`(defcustom ,MODE-predicate ,(car predicate)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
My question is, should it be defined before defining the minor mode?
if not, then why it's defined like that?
I made a little patch for solve this, since i think it would be it would
be beneficial for packages that use that macro (also i barely remember
that there are some built-in packages that defines the user-option
before using the macro for solve this issue).
Thanks.

Thanks for the bug report and proposed fix.
Could you please provide a recipe to reproduce the problem?

Sure.
1. create a .el file
2. insert this snippet into to file:
```
(define-minor-mode test-mode "")
(define-globalized-minor-mode global-test-mode
test-mode #'ignore
:group 'test
:predicate '(prog-mode text-mode))
```
3. byte-compile the file
4. in the compile log buffer should appear this warning:
`Warning: reference to free variable ‘global-test-modes’`
which is the variable generated by the macro.

Thanks, I've now fixed this on emacs-30 (commit a65b6aac6b5).
