Subject: bug#13780: 24.2; Making find-file-hook customizable seems to cause troublle
Date: Fri, 22 Feb 2013 00:33:29 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87k3q1gpba.fsf@sc3d.org> (raw)
I just spent a while trying to work out why a third-party mode I had
just installed was not automatically added to my find-file-hook, even
though the mode's file calls add-hook when it is loaded, and I took care
to ensure the mode was autoloaded. I discovered that the problem was
that the mode was loaded by my customization file, custom.el, but later,
the same file overwrote find-file-hook, because I had customized
find-file-hook.
I found that the reason for the customization was to get flymake-mode
automatically activated; I've filed a separate issue about this
(#13779). After removing the customization, my find-file-hook was set up
correctly (except for flymake-mode).
The real problem here is that find-file-hook is clearly meant to be
customizable (there is even a check box for auto-indent in its
customization dialog), yet customizing it seems to cause a race
condition where depending in what order files are autoloaded, hooks may
fail to be added properly to find-file-hook.
For the moment, I have added an add-hook call to my Emacs init file to
set up flymake-mode, and removed the customization, but it would be nice
if customizing the hook were both possible (perhaps by ensuring that
customized hooks were added to rather than overwritten?) and safe.
