Re: [Emacs-trunk-diffs] Changes to emacs/src/sysdep.c

[Richard Stallman]

I haven't been following the thread, but it seems to have led
to a change in sysdep.c that seems unfortunate.

Until now, there has been no quitting inside writing a file,
which means that the file can't end up truncated as a result
of quitting.

What was the reason for this change?  What problem is it meant to solve?
