Re: Passing current buffer to compile command

[Le Wang]

For completeness, I'll present the yasnippet solution here, it should be saved under the "fundamental-mode" subdir of the snippets folder.  This expansion key works in any buffer, including the minibuffer:

# -*- mode: snippet -*-

# name: buffer-file-name-nondir

# key: %

# --

`(let ((fname (file-name-nondirectory

                (or (buffer-file-name (window-buffer (minibuffer-selected-window)))

                    ""))))

   (if (zerop (length fname))

       "%"

     fname))`$0
