Subject: bug#23743: 24.5; Opening output file: invalid argument, .../foo-<-4-n.el
Date: Fri, 10 Jun 2016 10:35:54 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <e7736d91-7792-4271-9568-21ca8f5743b4@default> (raw)
emacs -Q
C-x C-f foo-<-4-n.el
Type some text in that file buffer.
C-x C-s ; try to save it.
Saving file d:/usr/drew/drews-lisp-20/foo-<-4-n.el...
basic-save-buffer-2: Opening output file: invalid argument, d:/.../foo-<-4-n.el
Apparently it doesn't like `<' in a file name? If so, and if that is
"normal", then the user should get a much better error message than
this.
(Same problem in the latest Emacs 25 build I have.)
In GNU Emacs 24.5.1 (i686-pc-mingw32)
of 2015-04-11 on LEG570
Windowing system distributor `Microsoft Corp.', version 6.1.7601
Configured using:
`configure --prefix=/c/usr --host=i686-pc-mingw32'
