Hi, all. For now, I got a problem on how to do this.
Here is the sample ~/.emacs
(defun byte-compile-file-if-newer (src)
(let ((result (concat src ".elc")))
(when (file-newer-than-file-p src result)
(byte-compile-file src)
(load-file result))))
(byte-compile-file-if-newer "~/.emacs")
(custom-set-variables
;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom.
;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
'(auto-compression-mode t)
'(column-number-mode t)
'(cperl-indent-level 4)
'(delete-selection-mode t)
'(display-battery-mode t)
'(display-time-24hr-format t)
'(display-time-day-and-date t)
'(display-time-mode t)
'(encoded-kbd-mode t)
'(gnus-nntp-server "news.readfreenews.net")
'(indent-tabs-mode nil)
'(inferior-lisp-program "sbcl")
'(inhibit-eol-conversion t)
'(inhibit-startup-screen t)
'(initial-scratch-message nil)
'(menu-bar-mode nil)
'(mouse-avoidance-mode (quote exile) nil (avoid)))
Is there a way to quit the loading after we compile the ~/.emacs and
load the ~/.emacs.elc file?
Ok, please don't bother talking about It's worthy or not for compiling
~/.emacs, I am talking a feature which *should* be supported by elisp
IMHO.
Yes, we can have a big condition around the rest of the ~/.emacs, But
that's not good practise. And If I do this, It will also confuse
things in M-x customize-group.
It's a bit like 'if' statements in emacs, 'if' is enough, but 'when'
and 'cond' statements is still there for supporting programming more
practically.
Also, I've ever done considering split ~/.emacs. To me, It's not a
good journey. There will be other problem when manage multiple start
up file.
I've tried add (return) to ~/.emacs, But there will be error as It's
not in a defun.
So, other possibility to quit the load of lib? Or enhance elisp by
adding a new 'keyword' or 'statement' to do this kind of job.
I also tried with (signal 'error nil) and (keyboard-quit), This worked
when you invoke emacs without any args. But when there is no
~/.emacs.elc file, and you invoke emacs with args, The passing args
won't be process by emacs.
I am using the newest emacs-cvs BTW.
Thanks.
