Re: Proposed patch: allow user to disable lockfile creation

[Richard Stallman]

    Any locking scheme should make sure that it does not interact with other
    programs: quite often I start a compilation and continue editing the
    file in question, making sure I don't save until the compilation has
    finished.

If Emacs uses an advisory lock, and the PDF viewer does not use one,
will that give the desired result?
