Then I'm afraid I must insist on understanding your needs better. I
still don't, not even after re-reading your description several times.
Maybe you could describe your use case from a different perspective:
instead of telling how you tried to make sure window-scroll-functions
are run exactly once, perhaps try to describe the problem for which
you needed to invoke window-scroll-functions in the first place.
After all, window-scroll-functions is just the means towards some
specific goal. And I don't think I understand the goal.
Once you described what you are trying to accomplish, it might be
easier to understand how you arrived at window-scroll-functions and
the need to run them when you do.
> The attached patch is an example of an implementation of this feature request. I created a new function called `force-wsf`, whose sole purpose is to trigger the WSF to run during redisplay -- after the PCH has already finished. As noted in a previous e-mail, `run-window-scroll-functions` doesn't accomplish what `force-wsf` can achieve because the former runs the function attached to the WSF immediately -- instead of waiting until later on during redisplay when the correct values of `window-start` and `window-end` are ascertainable.
I'd prefer to understand the need before we discuss the
implementation.
> I would, however, still like to come up with a test at the C-source code level that tells me whether the WSF will run more than one time
I think this is fundamentally impossible. But I didn't yet take a
good enough look at the involved code, so maybe I'm missing something.
Thanks.
