Subject: bug#3199: 23.0.92; doc string of frame-list
Date: Sun, 3 May 2009 09:53:45 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <001201c9cc0f$b91fbb10$0200a8c0@us.oracle.com> (raw)
Doc string: "Return a list of all frames."
That's incorrect/incomplete. The Elisp manual says this, which is
apparently correct:
The function `frame-list' returns a list of all the frames that
have not been deleted. It is analogous to `buffer-list' for
buffers, and includes frames on all terminals. The list that you
get is newly created, so modifying the list doesn't have any
effect on the internals of Emacs.
The doc string too should say that it is all live frames.
And the manual should use the term "live" frame, since that is the
term used by Emacs (e.g. frame-live-p): "returns a list of all live
frames, that is, the frames that have not been deleted."
Question: How to get a list of all frames, including dead frames?
In GNU Emacs 23.0.92.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600)
of 2009-03-30 on SOFT-MJASON
Windowing system distributor `Microsoft Corp.', version 5.1.2600
