Hi!
I'm trying to intercept all output from emacs -batch from within lisp.
This works nicely with a defadvice around `message' and `princ', except
in one case: write-region.
In fileio.c:4995, this function calls message_with_string directly,
circumventing lisp completely.
Is there a particular reason for this, or can this be replaced by the
usual message functions?
Regards,
Jorgen

It can probably be changed to call `message'. But I'd be surprised if
there aren't other places where you will bump into similar problems.

I think write-region might be called when Emacs is crashing. At that
time, it might not be safe to call Lisp.

At least do-auto-save does the same.

My use case is not an all-or-nothing one - I just want less noise when
running emacs -batch, so every unwanted line less helps, even if there
are still some.
But Eli has a point. If this is used when Emacs is crashing, I'd rather
not make it less reliable. But it already checks if a variable is set
for auto-saving. Would it then be an idea to make this a lisp variable
so it can be set from lisp, not only from C?

:-) I hit exactly this issue -- see related thread where I
requested the same as you.

Sounds cleaning up this would make code-base more regular.
