Subject: bug#812: frame-local-variable documentation
Date: Thu, 28 Aug 2008 23:23:21 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m24p54suk6.fsf@nschum.de> (raw)
As far as I can tell frame-local variables have been (or are about to
be) removed and currently don't work. Given that, I find the
documentation slightly misleading.
`modify-frame-parameters' still contains this paragraph:
> The value of frame parameter FOO can also be accessed
> as a frame-local binding for the variable FOO, if you have
> enabled such bindings for that variable with
> `make-variable-frame-local'.
That should be removed, I think.
`make-variable-frame-local' has this note:
> This function is obsolete since 22.2;
> use a frame-parameter instead.
I think those two carry the notion that it's still possible to access a
frame-parameter as a variable, just by using modify-frame-parameters.
The explanation in the NEWS file is more clear in this regard:
> They can easily be emulated. Rather than calling
> `make-variable-frame-local' and accessing the variable value directly,
> explicitly check for a frame-parameter
But I think removing the first one should avoid any confusion.
regards,
Nikolaj Schumacher
