Subject: bug#30529: 26.0.91; minibuffer errors change standard-output
Date: Mon, 19 Feb 2018 16:04:26 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <85po510xv9.fsf@gmail.com> (raw)
A user-error in the minibuffer can change the value of standard-output
(to t) within the environment that invoked the minibuffer, whereas I
think the minibuffer should rebind standard-output locally and not
change its global value. Here is a simple way to illustrate this
problem. Evaluate the following:
(defun STANDARD-LISP ()
"Run Standard LISP with input via the minibuffer and output via a buffer."
(interactive)
(switch-to-buffer (get-buffer-create "*Standard LISP*"))
(let (value
(standard-output (current-buffer)))
(while t
(terpri)
(princ "Eval: ")
(setq value (read))
;; (read) errors change standard-output to *Messages* buffer,
;; so...
;; (setq standard-output (current-buffer))
(prin1 value) (terpri)
(setq value (eval value))
(terpri)
(princ "====> ") (princ value) (terpri))))
Run the command STANDARD-LISP and type 'foo RETURN in the
minibuffer. The input and output related to 'foo appear correctly in the
buffer *Standard LISP*. Now, in the minibuffer, press the down arrow
key, thereby generating an end of history user-error, then type 'bar
RETURN. The input and output related to 'bar appear incorrectly in the
*Messages* buffer. A workaround is to include the assignment (setq
standard-output (current-buffer)) that is commented out in the function
above.
The distributed binary (i.e. not built by me) MS-Windows version of
Emacs 25.2 shows the same behaviour.
