Change write-file to be consistent with the new behavior
of copy-file, etc.
* etc/NEWS: Mention this.
* lisp/files.el (write-file): Treat the destination as special
only if it is a directory name.
Do the special dance with the destination only if it is a
directory name, for consistency with copy-file etc. (Bug#27986).
* doc/emacs/files.texi (Copying and Naming):
* doc/lispref/files.texi (Create/Delete Dirs):
* etc/NEWS: Document this.
* lisp/files.el (copy-directory): Treat NEWNAME as special
only if it is a directory name.
* lisp/files.el (files--ensure-directory): New function.
(make-directory): Use it to avoid bugs when (make-directory FOO t)
is invoked on a non-directory, or on a directory hierarchy that
is being built by some other process while Emacs is running.
* test/lisp/files-tests.el (files-tests--make-directory): New test.
Problem reported by Michael Albinus (Bug#28264#19).
* lisp/files.el (files--splice-dirname-file): Fix bug where
a relative symlink to "../foo:bar:" did not quote the result.
* lisp/files.el (files--splice-dirname-file): Quote whole file.
* lisp/net/tramp-sh.el (tramp-sh-handle-make-symbolic-link):
Do not expand TARGET, it could be remote.
(tramp-sh-handle-file-truename): Check for cyclic symlink also
in case of readlink. Quote result if it looks remote.
(tramp-sh-handle-file-local-copy): Use `file-truename'.
* test/lisp/net/tramp-tests.el (tramp-test08-file-local-copy)
(tramp-test09-insert-file-contents): Test also file missing.
(tramp-test21-file-links): Extend test.
Suggested by Michael Albinus (Bug#28264#13).
* lisp/files.el (files--splice-dirname-file): Use file-name-quote
rather than attempting to do it by hand.
Single and double quotes do not have a special meaning in
desktop files.
https://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/
* etc/NEWS: Mention new mode.
* lisp/files.el (auto-mode-alist): Split out an entry for handling
the .desktop extension with conf-desktop-mode.
* lisp/textmodes/conf-mode.el (conf-desktop-font-lock-keywords): New
variable with rules for booleans and format specifiers.
(conf-unix-mode): Remove desktop file entry example from docstring.
(conf-desktop-mode): New derived major mode.
This lets Emacs deal with arbitrary local symlinks without
mishandling their contents (Bug#28156). For example,
(progn (shell-command "ln -fs '~' 'x'") (rename-file "x" "/tmp/x"))
now consistently creates a symbolic link from '/tmp/x' to '~'.
Formerly, it did that only if the working directory was on the
same filesystem as /tmp; otherwise, it expanded the '~' to
the user's home directory.
* lisp/dired.el (dired-get-filename): Use files--name-absolute-system-p
instead of rolling our own code.
* lisp/files.el (files--name-absolute-system-p): New function.
(file-truename, file-chase-links): Use it to avoid mishandling
symlink contents that begin with ~.
(copy-directory, move-file-to-trash):
Use concat rather than expand-file-name, to avoid mishandling
symlink contents that begin with ~.
* src/fileio.c (Fmake_symbolic_link): Do not expand leading "~" in the
target unless interactive. Strip leading "/:" if interactive.
(emacs_readlinkat): Do not prepend "/:" to the link target if
it starts with "/" and contains ":" before NUL.
* test/src/fileio-tests.el (try-link): Rename from try-char,
and accept a string instead of a char. All uses changed.
(fileio-tests--symlink-failure): Also test leading ~, and "/:",
to test the new behavior.
* lisp/files.el (locate-dominating-files): Remove old commented
implementation from 9 years ago. Since the current version
appears (at least to me) not just more efficient but clearer than the
version removed, also delete a comment in the new version referring to
the old version. Remove old commented heuristic code,
and explanatory comments.
* lisp/files.el (make-temp-file): Let make-temp-file-internal do
the work of inserting the text.
* src/fileio.c (Fmake_temp_file_internal): New arg TEXT.
All callers changed.
* lisp/files.el (make-temp-file): Fix initial TEXT parameter.
(files--make-magic-temp-file): Support optional TEXT parameter.
* etc/NEWS: Document it.
* doc/lispref/files.texi: Document it.
* test/lisp/auth-source-tests.el: Minor reformat.
The auth-source behavior was unclear in some API use cases, so these
extra tests codify and test it. For details see
https://github.com/DamienCassou/auth-password-store/issues/29
* lisp/files.el (make-temp-file): Add new initial TEXT parameter.
* test/lisp/auth-source-tests.el (auth-source-test-searches): Add
auth-source tests and simplify them with the new `make-temp-file'.
The bug with "." and ".." has been present for a while; I
introduced the bug with "" earlier today in my patch for Bug#28023.
* lisp/files.el (make-temp-file): Do not use expand-file-name if
PREFIX is empty or "." or "..", as it does the wrong thing.
Compute absolute-prefix here ...
(files--make-magic-temp-file): ... instead of here ...
* src/fileio.c (Fmake_temp_file_internal): ... or here.
* lisp/files.el (make-temp-file): If the prefix is empty, append
"/" to the absolute prefix so that the new files are children
rather than siblings of temporary-file-directory. This fixes a
bug introduced in the previous change.
* test/lisp/files-tests.el (files-test-make-temp-file-empty-prefix):
New test, for the bug.
For the motivation behind this patch, please see Bug#28023 and:
http://emacshorrors.com/posts/make-temp-name.html
Although, given the recent changes to Tramp, the related security
problem in make-temp-file is already fixed, make-temp-file still has
several unnecessary system calls. In the typical case on GNU/Linux,
this patch replaces 8 syscalls (symlink, open, close, readlinkat, uname,
getpid, unlink, umask) by 2 (open, close).
* admin/merge-gnulib (GNULIB_MODULES): Add tempname, now
that Emacs is using it directly.
* configure.ac (AUTO_DEPEND): Remove AC_SYS_LONG_FILE_NAMES;
no longer needed.
* lib/gnulib.mk.in, m4/gnulib-comp.m4: Regenerate.
* lisp/files.el (files--make-magic-temp-file): Rename from
make-temp-file.
(make-temp-file): Use make-temp-file-internal for
non-magic file names.
* src/fileio.c: Include tempname.h.
(make_temp_name_tbl, make_temp_name_count)
(make_temp_name_count_initialized_p, make_temp_name): Remove.
(Fmake_temp_file_internal): New function.
(Fmake_temp_name): Use it.
* src/filelock.c (get_boot_time): Use Fmake_temp_file_internal
instead of make_temp_name.
Although this does not fix Bug#27986, it is a step forward.
I plan to propose a more-significant patch later.
* lisp/files.el (directory-name-p): Move from here ...
* src/fileio.c (Fdirectory_name_p): ... to here.
(directory_like, cp_like_target): New static functions.
(Fcopy_file, Frename_file, Fadd_name_to_file)
(Fmake_symbolic_link):
Use them, to avoid directory-testing syscalls on file names that
must be directories if they exist. Omit unnecessary
initializations and CHECK_STRING calls.
(Frename_file): Don't call file_name_case_insensitive_p
twice on the same file. Compare both file names expanded, instead
of the old name expanded and the new one unexpanded.
* lisp/files.el (basic-save-buffer-2, move-file-to-trash):
Use make-temp-name, not make-temp-file with retry.
(basic-save-buffer-2): Use condition-case, instead of
unwind-protect with a success flag.
This function must return non-nil for a wildcard like '/*/*.txt'.
* lisp/files.el (insert-directory-wildcard-in-dir-p): Adjust regexp.
* test/lisp/files-tests.el (files-tests--insert-directory-wildcard-in-dir-p):
Add test.
Allow Dired to handle calls like
\(dired \"~/foo/*/*.el\"), that is, with wildcards within
the directory part of the file argument (Bug#27631).
* lisp/files.el (insert-directory-wildcard-in-dir-p): New predicate.
(insert-directory-clean): New defun extracted from insert-directory.
(insert-directory)
* lisp/dired.el (dired-internal-noselect)
(dired-insert-directory): Use the new predicate; when it's true,
handle the directory wildcards with a shell call.
* lisp/eshell/em-ls.el (eshell-ls-use-in-dired): Add/remove both advices.
(eshell-ls-unload-hook): New defun. Use it in
eshell-ls-unload-hook instead of an anonymous function.
(eshell-ls--dired)
* lisp/ls-lisp.el (ls-lisp--dired):
Advice dired to handle wildcards in the directory part with both
eshell-ls and ls-lisp.
* etc/NEWS: Announce it.
* doc/emacs/dired.texi (Dired Enter): Update manual.
* test/lisp/dired-tests.el (dired-test-bug27631): Add test.
* lisp/files.el (find-file): Use pop-to-buffer-same-window
instead of switch-to-buffer. This preserves Dired window
point when dired-auto-revert-buffer is non-nil. (Bug#27243)
* test/lisp/dired-tests.el (dired-test-bug27243-01)
(dired-test-bug27243-02, dired-test-bug27243-03): New tests.
The first two replace a previous test that combined them; that
test intermittently fails in the Hydra build system, so maybe
separating the two cases will help locate the point of
failure. The third test involves find-file but is here
because it, like the others, is testing the effect of
dired-auto-revert-buffer.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/bytecomp.el (byte-compile--function-signature): New fun.
Dig into advice wrappers to find the "real" signature.
(byte-compile-callargs-warn, byte-compile-arglist-warn): Use it.
(byte-compile-arglist-signature): Don't bother with "new-style" arglists,
since bytecode functions are now handled in byte-compile--function-signature.
* lisp/files.el (create-file-buffer, insert-directory):
Remove workaround introduced for (bug#14860).
* lisp/help-fns.el (help-fns--analyse-function): `nadvice` is preloaded.
* lisp/help.el (help-function-arglist):
Dig into advice wrappers to find the "real" signature.
Fixes Bug#25951.
* lisp/files.el (file-name-non-special): Set the file name for the
correct buffer.
* test/lisp/files-tests.el (files-tests--file-name-non-special--buffers):
Add unit test.
(files-tests--with-advice, files-tests--with-temp-file): New helper
macros.
This reacts to confusing behavior of 'auto-save-visited-file-name',
cf. Bug#25478.
* lisp/files.el (auto-save-visited-interval): New customization option.
(auto-save-visited-mode): New global minor mode.
(auto-save-visited-file-name): Make obsolete.
(auto-save--timer): New internal helper variable.
* doc/emacs/files.texi (Auto Save Files): Document
'auto-save-visited-mode' instead of obsolete
'auto-save-visited-file-name'.
(Auto Save Control): Document customization option
'auto-save-visited-interval'.
`call-process' doesn't respect file name handlers in
`default-directory', so `file-name-non-special' has to resolve them
for `process-file', `start-file-process', and
`shell-command' (Bug#25949).
* lisp/files.el (file-name-non-special): Also resolve default
directory for 'process-file', 'start-file-process', and
'shell-command'.
* test/lisp/files-tests.el
(files-tests--file-name-non-special--subprocess): Add unit test.
This improves the help screen for `version-control' (Bug#25431).
* lisp/files.el (version-control-safe-local-p): New function.
(version-control): Use it.
