Subject: Get report on which files are loading
Date: Sat, 17 May 2003 17:41:52 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m3wugp3x2n.fsf@sbcglobal.net> (raw)
Some time back I got a tip from Kai G. about how to tell which files are
being loaded:
I have this loaded from a special file ~/whats_loading.el
;; make loaded files give a message [from Kai]
(defadvice load (before debug-log activate)
(message "(Tip from Kai G): Now loading: %s" (ad-get-arg 0)))
It reports on some files but not on others.
For example it doesn't report when site-start.el is loaded even
though the defadvice is loaded first (from the command line)
emacs -l ~/whats_loading.el
I have this in site-start.el to see when it loads:
(message "finished loading => /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/site-start.el") (sit-for 1)
I see in *Messages* buffer, stuff that indicate what is loading like this:
Loading whats_loading.el (source)...
Loading advice...done
Loading whats_loading.el (source)...done
(Tip from Kai G): Now loading: ~/.emacs-custom
Loading ~/.emacs-custom...done
Loading skeleton...done
(NOTE the defadvice doesn't report site-start.el but the `message'
shows so it has been read)
finished loading => /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/site-start.el
(Tip from Kai G): Now loading: ~/.emacs
[...]
(Tip from Kai G): Now loading: ~/.abbrev_defs
Loading ~/.abbrev_defs...done
(Tip from Kai G): Now loading: default
(Tip from Kai G): Now loading: ~/.abbrev_defs
[...]
I'd like to put something in that message line that allows emacs to
know what it has just read and from where. Something like the `%s'
operator in the defadvice. So that if for some reason site-start.el
is put somewhere else the accurate path and file name will still be
reported in *Messages* buffer. Something like:
(message "finished loading => SOMETHING TO REPORT PATH and FNAME") (sit-for 1)
I couldn't get it right as to where to put the `%s' or if it will even
fit in this line of code.
