Subject: bug#24618: 26.0.50; `condition-case' doesn't allow catching all signals
Date: Tue, 04 Oct 2016 18:42:27 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <wvr4vax89ibw.fsf@a.muc.corp.google.com> (raw)
Consider the following code:
(condition-case err
(signal 'does-not-exist '(1 2))
(error (print err)))
The signal is not caught by condition-case because it has no error
conditions. This makes it impossible to reliably catch all signals
(without abusing the debugger). I propose that an error condition of
't' in `condition-case' should be interpreted as 'all conditions'.
