bug#56682: locked narrowing

I actually think these should not be called with-SOMETHING, since they aren't macros. And yes, the function names should include "--".


Done, I went for internal--with-narrowing.

Because 'pop' on an empty stack is an error

You don't need to pop, just return without doing anything.

and (more importantly) it would mean that the narrowing_locks alist is corrupted. The cdr's in that alist should never be nil.

A comment to that effect should be in order, then.


Sorry, I was confused, in fact just return'ing in that case is fine.

Strictly speaking there is no need for an assertion, but again it would mean that something that isn't supposed to happen happened. In this case it would mean that narrowing_locks_restore is called with a list of length 1, containing only a buffer, whereas it is supposed to be called with the return value of narrowing_locks_save, which is either nil or a list of length >= 2.

I don't think I understand (you avoid the assertion in other cases which look similar to me), but if there are good reasons, please add comments there explaining the rationale.


I'm just being extra cautious here. I added a comment to explain that assertion (and the previous one).


We can add the tests after the branch is cut, I just wanted to be sure we will have them eventually.


I'll do that.
