abbrev problem

abbrev problem

[Karl Eichwalder]

Emacs still modifies ~/.abbrev_defs:

emacs -q --no-site-file --fullscreen
M-x report RET xxx RET
C-x C-c

And answer all questions with "yes".

I think the decision was to provide a special system abbrevs file and
not to change the user's file any longer?

unfortunately I can not reproduce this too. After doing that, Emacs asked
me to save the *mail* buffer, but no other questions. What got saved to the
file ~/.abbrev_defs?

It does not happen for me.
What exactly are the questions you answer?
Please don't be cryptic about that sort of info.

And the next question was whether I want to save ~/.abbrev_defs.

> What got saved to the file ~/.abbrev_defs?

All these system settings like:

(define-abbrev-table 'fortran-mode-abbrev-table '(
    (";b" "byte" nil 0)
    (";im" "implicit" nil 0)
    (";il" "implicit logical" nil 0)
    (";ii" "implicit integer" nil 0)
    (";bd" "block data" nil 0)
    (";ic" "implicit complex" nil 0)

[...]

    ))

Sorry.

Maybe it happened for you because your .abbrev_defs already contains
these settings like the one quoted above?  I'll try to reproduce the
problem the next time.

I think this problem is fixed in the CVS sources but not in the pretest.
The changes were too big to put into the pretest.

For your info, I didn't run the current pre-test (21.1.x), but 21.2.50.
