bug#3578: 23.0.94; when saving some files, diff does not work

[Tiago Saboga]

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

I start emacs with -q and -no-site-file, visit some file, make some
changes, switch to buffer "scratch" (or any other buffer with no
associated file) and run save-some-buffers. It asks me what to do with
the visited file, and I want to view the diff, so I press "d".  And I
get an error message: "Not applicable: no file."

I believe that the problem was introduced by revision 1.985 of files.el,
line 4178, that says:

(if (null buffer-file-name)

and should say:

(if (null buffer-file-name buf)

Thanks,

Tiago Saboga.

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/usr/share/emacs/23.0.94/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
