Subject: Removing 'memory-limit'
Date: Tue, 8 Nov 2016 13:52:15 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <9daef393-e2fe-bbd5-408f-fa5ca353be60@cs.ucla.edu> (raw)
This is a heads-up for a proposed incompatible change to a rarely-used
Emacs function. In Bug#24892 I propose declaring Emacs's memory-limit
function to be obsolete, and changing it to be a placeholder that
returns 0 everywhere (instead of its current practice of returning 0 on
some platforms and nonzero values on others). The memory-limit function
has been returning misleading or wrong information for years and as far
as I know doesn't see significant use.
For details please see:

and please reply to 24892@debbugs.gnu.org.
