Subject: Re: <filename> changed on disk; really edit the buffer?
Date: Thu, 22 Nov 2007 11:21:45 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1IvEoD-00064Z-AJ@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)

The idea makes sense. The variables should be named
auto-save-functions, according to conventions since 15 years ago.
But it isn't quite straightforward, because the code in fileio.c uses
a static variable auto_saving which alters the behavior of
write-region.
We do theoretically have a problem with this now, since the call to
Fsleep_for could run a process filter or sentinel. So it would be
good to change that mechanism.
