Re: insert-file-contents and fifos

[Richard Stallman]

    `read_non_regular' _always_ calls

      Fsignal (Qquit, Qnil);

    just after `emacs_read' (which succeeds, afaict)

How strange--the 21.2 code really has that absurd call to Fsignal.
The latest development version does not have it; I think it was
inserted by mistake.

Eli, could you delete that Fsignal call?


read_non_regular ()
{
  int nbytes;
  
  immediate_quit = 1;
  QUIT;
  nbytes = emacs_read (non_regular_fd,
                       BEG_ADDR + PT_BYTE - 1 + non_regular_inserted,
                       non_regular_nbytes);
  Fsignal (Qquit, Qnil);
  immediate_quit = 0;
  return make_number (nbytes);
}
