% Subject: [tex-live] Possible lacheck Bug Report
%
% [...]
%
% In the simple LaTeX file:
% \documentclass{report}
%
% \newcommand{\defaultleftmargin}{0.25in}
%
% \begin{document}
% \end{document}
%
% I get the following errors with lacheck:
% "hw01.tex", line 5: <- unmatched "end of file hw01.tex"
% "hw01.tex", line 2: -> unmatched "{"
%
% This is reported by Vim's syntastic running lacheck ver. $Id:
% lacheck.lex,v 1.26 1998/03/07 07:46:45 abraham Exp $ on MacOS High
% Sierra. The issue only seems to arise when \newcommand is followed by
% {\def*} (where * is zero or more other characters). Removal of the curly
% brackets around \def* or any term other than def causes the issue to go away.
%
% [...]
%
% Edit: The issue appears to not be limited to newcommand. I get the same
% error for the line:
% \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{\defaultleftmargin}

% From: Michael Clark <clark.michael.c@gmail.com>
% To: <tex-live@tug.org>
% Subject: lacheck is confused when curly brackets are inside a \newcommand
%
% Example latex file (foo.tex):
%
% \newcommand{\boldx}[1]{{\bf #1}}
% \newcommand{\ibx}[1]{\textbf{\textit{#1}}}
%
% lacheck output:
%
% "foo.tex", line 1: <- unmatched "}"
% "foo.tex", line 1: -> unmatched "beginning of file foo.tex"
% "foo.tex", line 2: <- unmatched "}"
% "foo.tex", line 1: -> unmatched "beginning of file foo.tex"
%
% I pulled the example commands from
% https://www.physicsread.com/latex-bold/ showing two useful cases. One,
% using a command inside of a newcommand, and the other creates a group
% to isolate the scope of the command to the included text.
%
% Replacing \newcommand with \newcommand* reports no error as expected.
% If an error is expected behavior for \newcommand, it would be nice if
% the error message were more clear, as the brackets are correctly
% matched.
%
% Thank you for maintaining this tool. I'd need to devote longer than I
% have to figure out where to go from line 391 of lacheck.l
