Doesn’t this basically mean doing this:
- (if (file-directory-p (expand-file-name
- ;; We don't support ~USER on MS-Windows
- ;; and MS-DOS except for the current
- ;; user, and always load .emacs from
- ;; the current user's home directory
- ;; (see below). So always check "~",
- ;; even if invoked with "-u USER", or
- ;; if $USER or $LOGNAME are set to
- ;; something different.
- (if (memq system-type '(windows-nt ms-dos))
- "~"
- (concat "~" init-file-user))))
- nil
- (display-warning 'initialization
+ (unless (file-directory-p (expand-file-name
+ (concat "~" init-file-user)))
+ (display-warning 'initialization
and then using ~user/… for every system including windows-nt?
If I understand correctly, ~user/… expansion depends on getpwnam and a)
on MS-DOS DJGPP provides it (by having a single pw entry for user ==
current user), b) on W32 src/w32.c provides it (with the same
implementation) and on POSIX we have it properly implemented.
