* bug#58649: 28.1: Possibly obsolete function `flymake-display-err-menu-for-current-line' in Emacs manual [not found] <179868968.537476.1666223378524.ref@mail.yahoo.com> @ 2022-10-19 23:49 ` Mark Harig via Bug reports for GNU Emacs, the Swiss army knife of text editors 2022-10-20 6:01 ` Eli Zaretskii 0 siblings, 1 reply; 2+ messages in thread From: Mark Harig via Bug reports for GNU Emacs, the Swiss army knife of text editors @ 2022-10-19 23:49 UTC (permalink / raw) To: 58649 In the Emacs manual, in the sub-section `(emacs) Flymake', there is the following sentence: To display any error messages associated with the current line, type ‘M-x flymake-display-err-menu-for-current-line’. But M-x flymake-display-err-menu-for-current-line says that there are no matches for that function. Likewise, a search of the file `flymake.el' that is included with Emacs 28.1 shows no definition for the identifier `flymake-display-err-menu-for-current-line'. A search of Emacs NEWS back to version 22 (when `flymake' was added) does not show any mention of `flymake-display-err-menu-for-current-line' becoming obsolete, but it appears to be. In the Flymake user manual, in the sub-section `(flymake) Finding diagnostics', there is the following paragraph: Sometimes it is useful to have a detailed overview of the diagnostics in your files without having to jump to each one. The commands `flymake-show-buffer-diagnostics' and `flymake-show-project-diagnostics' are designed to handle this situation. When invoked, they bring up a separate buffer containing a detailed structured listing of multiple diagnostics in the current buffer or for the current project, respectively (*note (emacs)Projects::). In NEWS file for Emacs 28.1, `flymake-show-project-diagnostics' is listed as a new command. Both that function and `flymake-show-buffer-diagnostics' work and might be the replacements for the obsolete function. (End of report.) ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread

It was deleted in October 2017, since it didn't work. I guess the manual was not updated back then. > In the Flymake user manual, in the sub-section `(flymake) Finding > diagnostics', there is the following paragraph: > > Sometimes it is useful to have a detailed overview of the > diagnostics in your files without having to jump to each one. > The commands `flymake-show-buffer-diagnostics' and > `flymake-show-project-diagnostics' are designed to handle this > situation.
