Subject: bug#5843: 23.1.95; Bug in recentf-include-p causes data loss
Date: Tue, 06 Apr 2010 12:59:17 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m1k4sku6zu.fsf@cam.ac.uk> (raw)
There's a bug in `recentf-include-p' that could cause losing all entries
in recentf-list. When a predicate in `recentf-exclude' errs,
`recentf-include-p' returns nil and thus causes an corresponding entry
to be removed. My entire recentf-list (500ish entries) has been damaged
because of this and before I found out the data saved has already been
overwritten.
I think recentf-include-p should not silently ignore an error from any
predicates in recentf-exclude because an error signals a bug in the
predicate itself.
