> (which-function) can report outdated information because it relies on
> imenu--index-alist. To see what I'm talking about, from emacs -q:
>
> M-x which-function-mode RET
>
> type:
>     (defun test () "foo" (ignore))
>
> M-x imenu *Rescan* RET C-g
>
> type:
>     (defun test2 () "bar" (ignore))
>
> With point inside test2, (which-function) reports test (you'll see this
> in the modeline) because it uses the (outdated) information in
> `imenu--index-alist'.
>
> I see a few potential fixes:
>
> - Check `add-log-current-defun' before checking `imenu--index-alist' in
>   `which-function' (easy, but falling back on imenu--index-alist could
>   still report old info)
>
> - Have `which-function' update `imenu--index-alist' before checking it
>   (also easy to implement, but updating the index could be slow in large
>   buffers)
>
> - Something else
>
> I'm happy to write up a patch, just let me know what solution is best.
