[Nano-devel] [PATCH] bug #34898: [Request] reuse existing buffers when adding files

[Rishabh Dave]

Hello,

I have attempted to write a patch for the first comment on this bug
page - https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?34898

About the second comment, I couldn't replicate it. Nano didn't open an
empty buffer for me.

Besides these, patch also fixes the same issue when it appears in a
different scenario; when nano is invoked with multiple filenames
amongst which several are same nano would create buffers for each
filename irrespective of repitition. That is doing "src/nano README
TODO TODO" would create 2 buffers for TODO.

About the patch itself: it adds a function that compares the given
filename with the current name of the open files. I have tested and
fixed a couple of cases.
