default-buffer-file-coding-system on w32 is not -dos

default-buffer-file-coding-system on w32 is not -dos

[Eli Zaretskii]

In "emacs -Q", type "M-: default-buffer-file-coding-system RET".  On
MS-Windows, it should say SOMETHING-dos, but in Emacs built from
recent CVS it doesn't have the -dos EOL type, and indeed new files are
created with Unix EOLs.

Does anyone else see this on Windows, or is this something peculiar to
my setup?  If anyone gets -dos, please tell me what is your value of
current-language-environment, in addition to the value of
default-buffer-file-coding-system.

I'll try to debug this regardless.

TIA

I tried CVS Emacs from 2004-04-06 (slightly patched). It says 
"iso-latin-1". I also tried CVS Emacs from 2006-03-20 (unpatched). It 
says the same.

Is that really 2004-04-06 (i.e. 2 years ago)?  Or is this yesterday's
CVS?

Does that mean that, for you, the current CVS code uses
iso-latin-1-dos for newly-created files?  Or are you saying that both
these versions use Unix-style EOLs?  Because that's what's really
important: whether the default is to create DOS- or Unix-style line
endings; the value of buffer-file-coding-system is just the symptom.
So please tell me whether on your machine new files are created DOS or
Unix style.

I have an old build from 2005-04-17 CVS, which does set
buffer-file-coding-system of new files to iso-latin-1-dos.  But I
don't know when the behavior changed between now and a year ago,
although I have reasons to believe it still worked correctly in
December 2005.

Sorry, typo. 2006-04-06.

1) The indicator on the mode line says ":" when creating the file.
2) The created file as Unix-style line endings
3) When restarting Emacs -Q and opening the file again the mode line 
says "(Unix)"

That's what I see.  Thanks for checking.

Can you please tell what is your value of current-language-environment?

TIA

Right after "Emacs -Q" (unpatched version) this is "English".

Same as on my machine, thanks.

Okay, I think I fixed this, at least for those systems where
current-language-environment is "English".  Please resync with CVS and
see that it works for you.

If someone has other values of current-language-environment on
MS-Windows, please report the behavior before and after this change.

TIA

With emacs -Q, CVS from 2006-04-09 (slightly patched) I get:

1) The indicator on the mode line says "\" (was ":" before) when 
creating a .txt file.
2) The created file as DOS style line endings.
3) When restarting emacs -Q and opening the file again the mode line now 
still says "\".

Thanks, this is the expected behavior.

Thanks Eli for fixing this!
