>From my previous message: Note that even after this patch, there is one potentially troublesome case left...
Sorry, I was confused. That entire long paragraph makes no sense (sorry about that). Without MODE-stored-mode, I can not avoid some inefficiency for non-file buffers (unnecessarily dis- and re-enable the mode once), unless I somehow can recognize whether we are running from a timer or process. (I can not immediately think of way to do that. Is there away?) Getting rid of the one remaining bug I described _and_ avoiding a similar inefficiency for file buffers can be accomplished using the following alternate ,buffers function, so it seems definitely better than the one in my previous patch: ;; The function that calls TURN-ON in each buffer. (defun ,buffers () (dolist (buf ,buffers) (and (buffer-live-p buf) (not buffer-file-name) (with-current-buffer buf (when mode (,mode -1)) (,turn-on))))) It is actually _here_ (in after-change-major-mode-hook) that disabling and re-enabling is unlikely to occur, so getting rid of the remaining bug carries no real price, but getting rid of MODE-stored-hook does carry some price, for non-file buffers. I will still think of this further. Sincerely, Luc. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
