Subject: How about making `set-minibuffer-window' obsolete?
Date: Tue, 16 Mar 2021 18:16:35 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <YFD2A3cnEDSa3DM4@ACM> (raw)
Hello, Emacs.
Does anybody have any objection to me making set-minibuffer-window
obsolete?
It's defined in src/minibuf.c, but not used by any C function, and it's
not used by any Lisp in Emacs itself - the nearest to a use is a
commented out occurrence in lisp/textmodes/ispell.el.
This function just sets the C variable minibuf_window. This variable is
defined (by comment) to be the minibuffer window of the selected frame.
So setting it to a random mini-window will cause nasty problems.
Actually, I'd prefer just to remove the function entirely - but there's
always the chance it's being used by some external library.
So, any objections?
