Edebug doesn't deal well with backtracking out of definitions, see Bug#41988. Rather than trying to support this rare situation (e.g. by implementing a multipass parser), prevent it by adding an implicit gate. * lisp/emacs-lisp/edebug.el (edebug--match-&-spec-op): Disable backtracking when hitting a &define keyword. * test/lisp/emacs-lisp/edebug-tests.el (edebug-tests-duplicate-&define): New unit test. (edebug-tests--duplicate-&define): New helper macro. * doc/lispref/edebug.texi (Backtracking): Mention &define in the list of constructs that disable backtracking. * etc/NEWS: Document new behavior.
