Subject: bug#57795: FIXME about save-match-data in shell-command
Date: Wed, 14 Sep 2022 00:36:30 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CADwFkmnNm5JpsC-JwGYWZgDo82gOW3RVKXROZa6smxvnfxAX1w@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Severity: wishlist
In `shell-command', we have the following comment:
;; Preserve the match data in case called from a program.
;; FIXME: It'd be ridiculous for an Elisp function to call
;; shell-command and assume that it won't mess the match-data!
I think we should decide to either get rid of the FIXME, or to take the
plunge and remove `save-match-data'. (Note that the latter has been
there since 1995.)
