Or do it in the Makefile. However, instead of this one night stand approach, how about long term commitment: I'm saying that emacs has a set way of reporting one aspect of compilation times, reporting the time when it finished. I'm saying emacs should provide at least the flexibility to also 1. report the time before we start. 2. not report the time after we end. As who says the former is less important than the latter time... And while we're at it, also maybe 3. report the times in between. I mean who says everybody must have chocolate pudding [final timestamp] for dessert? Can one not have dessert, or have an appetizer? -- http://www.geocities.com/jidanni/ Taiwan(04)25854780 _______________________________________________ Bug-gnu-emacs mailing list Bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-gnu-emacs
