Hello,
\def\show{Hello World} \pdfprimitive\show\relax
I would expect that the primitive \show (not the macro) is executed and shows \relax. Instead I get an error (pdfTeX 1.40.3):
! Undefined control sequence. l.2 \pdfprimitive\show
Did I misunderstood \pdfprimitive?
No, that should have worked. I will investigate.
Thanks.
BTW, is there a way to restore a primitive without having
a previously generated backup?
Example:
\def\show{something}% (e.g. ucsenc.def)
% Can something like
\expandafter\let\expandafter\show\pdfprimitive\show
% be used for restoring the meaning of \show?
% Or is the following the only way:
\def\show{\pdfprimitive\show}
Yours sincerely
