Re: Compile issues

[Richard Stallman]

    Since it's a module compiler, I guess it's pretty much the same as an
    inferior SML REPL, but it's along time since I used one.  I assumed
    that sort of thing would be generally familiar.

Apparently not.  We seem to need a description.

What does C-c C-k do in the mode in question?
(I don't know.)

    Says `No more errors yet' (with M-x first-error).

If there are more or new errors in the buffer, that does seem to be a
bug.  Does anyone know why this happens?


The Emacs Lisp byte compiler also outputs successive compilations'
errors into a single buffer.  I think it may need some special
handling now.  The ideal special handling would be this:
for each file, consider only its most recent compilation.
Is that feasible?
