Subject: "fall-through" generic function args plus &context
Date: Mon, 26 Dec 2016 12:34:46 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87r34u8m55.fsf@ericabrahamsen.net> (raw)
I have a few defmethods that use the &context construct to dispatch on
the value of major mode:
(cl-defmethod my-make-buffer-name (&context (major-mode gnus-summary-mode))
;; etc...
)
I need a catch-all method, for default behavior when we're in other
modes that aren't targeted by an existing method.
I've tried things like:
(&context _major-mode)
(&context (major-mode t))
(&context (major-mode nil))
(&context (major-mode (eql _nuthin))
And a few other things. Everything raises cl-no-applicable-method.
What's the correct way to do this? Or do I need to override
`cl-no-applicable-method' and catch the error?
Thanks,
Eric
