with version hungry-delete-20140729.2231 I'm seeing this :-(

if: Wrong number of arguments: #[(n &optional killflag) "¨„ÆÇÈD\"ˆÉ ƒ.   ƒ.ÊUƒ.  Ë=ƒ(ÌÍ Î \"‡Í Î |‡

was working fine until very recently on emacs 24.3.1 and reverting to the 3-year-old version still works.

This is my .emacs

Can you do (setq debug-on-error t) and see if a backtrace is printed?

What do you do to get this behaviour

[fommil]

this is in a call to (hungry-delete-backward)

[nflath]

I think the issue is in your .emacs actually, specificall you have:

(defun contextual-backspace () "Hungry whitespace or delete word depending on context" (interactive) (if (looking-back "[\t\s\n\r]{2,}" (- (point) 3)) (hungry-delete-backward) (backward-kill-word 1)))

hungry-delete-backward now takes an argument, so I think it should be:

(defun contextual-backspace () "Hungry whitespace or delete word depending on context" (interactive) (if (looking-back "[\t\s\n\r]{2,}" (- (point) 3)) (hungry-delete-backward 1) (backward-kill-word 1)))

aah, you changed the API. perhaps you could give the argument a default value incase it catches anybody else out?

[nflath]

Maybe...right now the interface was changed to match that of delete-char (which it replaces)
