Subject: Docstring of `window-scroll-functions'
Date: Tue, 28 Oct 2008 18:57:05 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <f7ccd24b0810281057j66c5872aj5b214b5ddcb45e70@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
The docstring for `set-window-buffer' mentions that it runs
`window-scroll-functions', but says nothing about
`window-configuration-change-hook', which is weird. Perhaps that's
because the programmer can reasonably expect for `set-window-buffer'
to run the window configuration change hook, but not
`window-scroll-functions'?
In any case, I'd suggest at least adding wording to
window-scroll-function's docstring making clear that it can be run
from `set-window-buffer', because at it stands now, it would be a bit
unexpected if the programmer happens to read just the variable's doc
and not the function's:
window-scroll-functions is a variable defined in `C source code'.
Its value is nil
Documentation:
List of functions to call before redisplaying a window with scrolling.
Each function is called with two arguments, the window
and its new display-start position. Note that the value of `window-end'
is not valid when these functions are called.
`set-window-buffer' has no apparent relation with scrolling.
