Hi all,
I running emacs 21.4.1. I'm trying to do some fancy ediff stuff.
Actually not terribly fancy, I just want to invoke it from the command
line with parmeters similar to "diff", specifically using the -L option to
give more descriptive names to the buffers. Currently I can ediff two
files by doing the following...
emacs --eval='(progn (setq ediff-diff-options "-wbB") (ediff-files "file1"
"file2"))'
Maybe there's an easier/better way?
ANYWAY,
The path I'm currently on requires me to hook into the
"ediff-startup-hooks" with the following code in my .emacs file...
(require 'ediff)
;; Get rid of the annoying little (separate) ediff window and
;; turn it into a 3rd pane in the main emacs window.
(setq ediff-window-setup-function 'ediff-setup-windows-plain)
;; Put files side-by-side
;(setq ediff-split-window-function 'split-window-horizontally)
(defun my-ediff-startup-hooks ()
(set-buffer ediff-buffer-A)
(rename-buffer "bobA")
(set-buffer ediff-buffer-B)
(rename-buffer "bobB")
)
(add-hook 'ediff-startup-hooks 'my-ediff-startup-hooks)
OK, so this is just baby-step code because clearly "bobA" and "bobB" are
not useful, but I can't even get THIS to work! I even tried inserting a
line I knew would fail in the defined function (something like
(undefined_bob_qwerty)) and I never got a complaint when I fired up a new
instance of ediff.
(but I know it was picking up my changes to .emacs because if I made a syntax error then it would warn me about that.)
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Bob
