Date: Sun, 18 Jul 2004 20:40:36 -0500 (CDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200407190140.i6J1eaS29120@raven.dms.auburn.edu> (raw)
Fverify_visited_file_modtime contains:
if (stat (SDATA (filename), &st) < 0)
{
/* If the file doesn't exist now and didn't exist before,
we say that it isn't modified, provided the error is a tame one. */
if (errno == ENOENT || errno == EACCES || errno == ENOTDIR)
st.st_mtime = -1;
else
st.st_mtime = 0;
}
If the buffer has stored (via the value -1) that the file does not
exist and the file does not exist on disk either, then the buffer's
record agrees with the actual situation on disk. I do not know which
"untame" errors one had in mind here where
`verify-visited-file-modtime' should return nil in this situation.
Is it good enough if a handler just returns `t' in this situation
without worrying about this?
Sincerely,
Luc.
