Re: font-lock-defaults-alist is obsolete but used
The variable above is marked as obsolete but used in font-core.el. Should it be that way? Obviously even obsolete variables have to be used _somewhere_, else they are not just obsolete but totally useless. Can you elaborate on your question? The variable is marked obsolete in the same file where it is used. I would expect that the new name where used in that file instead of the old. To clear the misunderstanding, let me put it differently: font-lock-defaults-alist is still *obeyed* by the current code (which is why it's obsolete and not removed), but it is not *used* by the current code.

Perhaps the trouble is that font-lock-mode's docstring doesn't stress its obsolete status: See the variable `font-lock-defaults-alist' for the Font Lock mode default settings. You can set your own default settings for some mode, by setting a buffer local value for `font-lock-defaults', via its mode hook. and neither does font-lock-set-defaults': Sets various variables using `font-lock-defaults' (or, if nil, using `font-lock-defaults-alist') and `font-lock-maximum-decoration'.

The variable above is marked as obsolete but used in font-core.el. Should it be that way? Of course. If it wasn't used at all, it wouldn't be obsolete but removed. Stefan ___ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
