Subject: let vs. buffer local bindings
Date: 10 May 2002 16:21:07 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <5xy9esxewc.fsf@kfs2.cua.dk> (raw)
Gareth Owen <usenet@gwowen.freeserve.co.uk> has found a peculiar
interference between let and buffer local bindings.
Does anyone care to comment on the following result:
First try evalling:
(progn
(make-variable-buffer-local 'foo)
(setq-default foo 1)
(list foo
(let ((foo 2) (buf (generate-new-buffer "baz")))
(set-buffer buf) foo)
(let ((foo 3) (buf (generate-new-buffer "baz")))
(set-buffer buf) foo)
(let ((foo 4) (buf (generate-new-buffer "baz")))
(set-buffer buf) foo)))
which produces what seems to be correct:
(1 2 3 4)
But now eval this:
(progn
(setq foo 0)
(list foo
(let ((foo 2) (buf (generate-new-buffer "baz")))
(set-buffer buf) foo)
(let ((foo 3) (buf (generate-new-buffer "baz")))
(set-buffer buf) foo)
(let ((foo 4) (buf (generate-new-buffer "baz")))
(set-buffer buf) foo)))
which produces what seems to be wrong:
(0 1 3 4)
