Subject: Undocumented change in binding of buffer-local variables?
Date: Thu, 11 Jul 2002 20:38:44 -0500 (CDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200207120138.UAA00495@eel.dms.auburn.edu> (raw)
There used to be (in Emacs20.7 and earlier) a problem with binding a
buffer-local variable with let and then exiting the let form with a
different current buffer.
From experimentation, it would seem that this problem is now totally
solved. Is this correct? If so, would it not be worth mentioning
this in the GNU Emacs NEWS? (Maybe I overlooked something, but
conducting a search for "let" failed to find anything related.)
I found a bug in ielm which I can easily fix and for which I will send
a report and patch soon. However, the best solution depends on
whether or not it is now safe to exit a let-form, binding buffer-local
variables, with a changed current buffer.
Sincerely,
Luc.
