Subject: How to see that a variable holds t
Date: Sun, 03 Jan 2010 18:11:35 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87fx6ncdvc.fsf@Traian.DecebalComp> (raw)
At the moment I have the following function:
(defun switch-gnus-idle-daemon-do-log ()
(interactive)
(setq gnus-idle-daemon-do-log
(case gnus-idle-daemon-do-log
(10 t)
(otherwise 10)))
(message "gnus-idle-daemon-do-log: %s" gnus-idle-daemon-do-log))
I know that it looks like overkill a case for switching to two values,
but I expect that in the future there will be more values.
What I really would like is;
(defun switch-gnus-idle-daemon-do-log ()
(interactive)
(setq gnus-idle-daemon-do-log
(case gnus-idle-daemon-do-log
(t 10)
(otherwise t)))
(message "gnus-idle-daemon-do-log: %s" gnus-idle-daemon-do-log))
Because I would like the default to be t and not 10. (For when the value
is not one of the defined values.) But when I do this, it is always set
to 10, because the case does not make a difference between t and 10. How
do I solve this?
