Subject: bug#17522: diff-mode frustrates attempt to correct corrupted diff file.
Date: Sun, 18 May 2014 10:50:55 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140518105055.GA3727@acm.acm> (raw)
Hi, Emacs.
On
GNU Emacs 24.4.50.2 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.8.7) of 2014-04-19 on acm.acm
, I have a diff which has been corrupted during transmission by email. I
have loaded this diff into a Diff Mode buffer. At the head of one of the
hunks appears:
@@ -3155,115 +3160,38 @
, and three times in the hunk a long line has got split somehow, like
this:
- (message "Eval error in the `c-lang-defvar' or `c-lang-setvar' for
`%s'%s: %S"
. When I attempt to correct the patch by removing the spurious line feed
using M-^, the header line is (silently) corrupted by replacing the two
"number of lines" fields with zeros, thusly:
@@ -3155,0 +3160,0 @
. This is surely a bug. The workaround seems to be to use Fundamental
Mode.
