--===============2832760477556718691== Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="001a113ce5c8ec884e05659e8d18" --001a113ce5c8ec884e05659e8d18 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" In the semantic manual on the GNU website ( https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/semantic/Create-System-Databases.html#Create-System-Databases), it claims that the database file created by semanticdb-create-ebrowse-database will be saved in the directory specified by semanticdb-default-system-save-directory. However, in Emacs 25.3, it saves the database in the directory specified by semanticdb-default-save-directory. The docstring in the Emacs code states this, so it's only the online documentation that is incorrect. I've looked at the source for 24.5 and it also uses semanticdb-default-save-directory. The same for the master branch in the emacs git tree, as well as the emacs-23 branch. It tripped me up a bit because I was planning on having the system databases generated in a separate directory from the regular databases (I use different Linux and BSD systems with the same Emacs config and often the same projects). Not a big deal, but correcting the docs might save the next guy a few minutes of confusion. Figured I'd let you know. --001a113ce5c8ec884e05659e8d18 Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <div dir=3D"ltr">In the semantic manual on the GNU website (<a href=3D"http= s://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/semantic/Create-System-Data= bases.html#Create-System-Databases">https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manu= al/html_node/semantic/Create-System-Databases.html#Create-System-Databases<= /a>), it claims that the database file created by semanticdb-create-ebrowse= -database will be saved in the directory specified by semanticdb-default-sy= stem-save-directory.<div><br></div><div>However, in Emacs 25.3, it saves th= e database in the directory specified by semanticdb-default-save-directory.= =C2=A0 The docstring in the Emacs code states this, so it's only the on= line documentation that is incorrect.=C2=A0 I've looked at the source f= or 24.5 and it also uses semanticdb-default-save-directory.=C2=A0 The same = for the master branch in the emacs git tree, as well as the emacs-23 branch= .</div><div><br></div><div>It tripped me up a bit because I was planning on= having the system databases generated in a separate directory from the reg= ular databases (I use different Linux and BSD systems with the same Emacs c= onfig and often the same projects).=C2=A0 Not a big deal, but correcting th= e docs might save the next guy a few minutes of confusion.</div><div><br></= div><div>Figured I'd let you know.</div></div> --001a113ce5c8ec884e05659e8d18-- --===============2832760477556718691== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot --===============2832760477556718691== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline _______________________________________________ cedet-semantic mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/cedet-semantic --===============2832760477556718691==--
