Hello all,
Does anyone else get an error when running M-x ediff-buffers while
pc-selection-mode (or more specifically delete-selection-mode) is
enabled?
I get:
Symbol's function definition is void: buffer-alist
and when toggling debug-on-error, I see:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-function buffer-alist)
(buffer-alist)
(completing-read prompt (buffer-alist) nil existing default (quote
minibuffer-history) default t)
read-buffer("Buffer A to compare: " #<buffer *scratch*> t)
(setq bf (read-buffer "Buffer A to compare: " (ediff-other-buffer "")
t))
(list (setq bf (read-buffer "Buffer A to compare: " ... t))
(read-buffer "Buffer B to compare: " (progn ... ...) t))
(let (bf) (list (setq bf ...) (read-buffer "Buffer B to compare: " ...
t)))
* call-interactively(ediff-buffers)
I'm running 21.3.1 compiled from the source (msvc).
I've trimmed my .emacs down until I located delete-selection-mode as the
offending line, and tried it under '--no-init-file --no-site-file' and
get the same problem.
If I turn off pc-selection-mode, ediff-buffers works fine. I tried just
using
transient-mark-mode and delete-selection-mode, but adding
delete-selection-mode
causes the problem again.
So just as a sanity check, if someone else can run pc-selection-mode or
delete-selection-mode
and do an 'ediff-buffers' without this error, then I'll know there's
something else wrong on my
system. (locate-library shows pc-select in the expected
emacs/lisp/emulation directory.)
(Any tips on how to debug elisp (interactively?) would also be
appreciated.)
This may not be an NT-only issue, but I don't have access to another
platform to test this on right now,
and how many people on non-MS platforms would be using
pc-selection-mode? :)
If it isn't, I'll ask in gnu.emacs.help (though all my googling so far
hasn't turned up any answers there).
Thanks!
Rob
