Subject: Improve reporting of I/O, access errors for Emacs
Date: Thu, 12 Sep 2019 01:22:09 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ffc7396d-0a95-6a36-6591-3b200458cac5@cs.ucla.edu> (raw)
I ran into some issues where Emacs was ignoring reasonably-serious I/O errors. I
went through the C source code and looked for similar issues, and fixed
everything I found. The basic idea is that Emacs should signal an error for
serious and unexpected I/O errors (e.g., EIO, ENAMETOOLONG) while continuing to
behave as before if the problem is merely a missing file (ENOENT) or is a
similarly tame error. Because the patch is a bit involved and in some places
affects MS-Windows code, I've posted it here for review:
https://bugs.gnu.org/37389
A half-dozen or so of the issues I found had simpler fixes, which I've already
installed into master.
