* read-file-name argument clash with xemacs @ 2002-08-10 5:36 Noah Friedman 2002-08-11 3:55 ` Richard Stallman 0 siblings, 1 reply; 3+ messages in thread From: Noah Friedman @ 2002-08-10 5:36 UTC (permalink / raw) Cc: kyle_jones XEmacs's 6th argument to read-file-name is a history list variable. In the Emacs development sources, it's a predicate. This is a somewhat nasty situation because functions which currently inspect the argument list or use a condition-case to trap wrong-number-of-arguments, are suddenly failing. So I suggest adding the history variable support to Emacs and moving the predicate out to the 7th argument. Any objections? ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

Ok. The predicate arg feature was added since the last release so there is no problem in changing it now. Would you like to do this? Please change the appropriate callers, too. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

Remember to change read-file-name-function and it uses (e.g. ido-read-file-name) too. -- Kim F. Storm <storm@cua.dk> http://www.cua.dk ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
