Subject: bug#13197: 24.3.50; org-odt.el code that kills modified buffers
Date: Sat, 15 Dec 2012 14:35:45 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <C9588B14DC424E78AFF493C991492266@us.oracle.com> (raw)
This is a question, but it might also be a bug report regarding the code
cited.
IIUC, `set-buffer-modified-p' (and also `restore-buffer-modified-p',
which is a lousy name BTW) always acts on the current buffer. There is
no way to tell it which buffer to act on, other than, say, using
`with-current-buffer'.
I use `find-file-noselect' over a large set of files, and at a later
point I kill many such visited-file buffers. But even just
`find-file-no-select' can cause visiting to modify some buffers. So
when I go to kill them I need to prevent the user being queried about
killing a modified buffer.
I was grepping some source files to see how other code handles this kind
of thing, and I came across this in org-odt.el (in
`org-odt-cleanup-xml-buffers'):
(mapc (lambda (file)
(let ((buf (find-file-noselect
(expand-file-name file org-odt-zip-dir) t)))
(when (buffer-name buf)
(set-buffer-modified-p nil)
(kill-buffer buf))))
xml-files)
I don't see how that can work properly, since `find-file-noselect' does
not make the visited-file buffer current, and `set-buffer-modified-p'
acts only on the current buffer.
Am I missing something here, or is that a bug?
In any case, I would like to learn more about this. Currently I am
doing this (since this code is for Emacs 23+, which has
`restore-buffer-modified-p'):
(with-current-buffer buf
(restore-buffer-modified-p nil)
(kill-buffer buf))
Is there a way to accomplish that without making BUF current?
