Hi,
I'm trying out dumping emacs from --batch mode. When I put the
following into a file dump.el and run it with "emacs --batch --load
dump.el" , I can run the resulting dumped executable and see that there
is a buffer named "x" with the contents "this is a test":
(progn
(switch-to-buffer "x")
(insert "this is a test")
(dump-emacs "testing" "~/src/emacs-git/src/emacs"))
The following does not produce and dumped executable at all:
(progn
(find-file "~/.emacs.d/init.el")
(switch-to-buffer "x")
(insert "this is a test")
(dump-emacs "testing" "~/src/emacs-git/src/emacs"))
I thought this was because there was an open buffer pointing to a file
on the filesystem, so I tried the following:
(progn
(find-file "~/.emacs.d/init.el")
(set-visited-file-name nil)
(switch-to-buffer "x")
(insert "this is a test")
(dump-emacs "testing" "~/src/emacs-git/src/emacs"))
This also produces no dumped executable. It seems that having buffers
in the heap/core is fine, but not after they have been loaded with
find-file. Is there an explanation for this? I can't see any reason in
the code after a quick glance so I thought I would ask.
