Hi Sean,

Project.el provides a function project-buffers that returns a list of
buffers associated with the given project. The list is unfiltered,
meaning any program using it will have to do some work to pick out the
buffers of interest. It would be useful if the function had an optional
argument to do this work.
Project.el already has a function project--buffer-check that validates a
buffer against a list of conditions. Maybe it should be wired into
project-buffers to do the job of filtering?
There is also 'match-buffers' and 'buffer-match-p' in the core
Emacs starting with Emacs 29 (should also be available with the
'compat' package).

What do you think about these alternatives?
Thanks for the pointer—I wasn’t aware of these functions. (I’m still on 28.2.)
It looks like these do fit the bill. For example, it looks like I
could write:
(match-buffers condition (project-buffers project))
I can’t see these functions in my local installation of compat
(056e3cc), but maybe definitions from Emacs 29 haven’t been added
yet? In any case, I’m happy to wait a little bit.

Right, I'm not seeing it in there either. Perhaps it'll get there
after Emacs 29 is released.

Right, Emacs 29 support is under development, but hasn't been completed
yet: https://git.sr.ht/~pkal/compat/tree/emacs-29.1/item/compat-29.el.

Philip, is that the plan?

The plan is to be ready by the time Emacs 29 is released.  If possible
and I get to it, it might also be released earlier, but at the very
least I'll be waiting for the feature freeze later this month.

That sounds good to me. I have a workaround in the meantime, so I’m
happy to wait for the new release. 

I don't know what your workaround is, but since both functions
(buffer-match-p, match-buffers) are self-contained, you can also just
copy the current implementation into your local configuration.

Right now, I’m using project--buffer-check, which does a very similar thing. Your suggestion might be better, so I don’t need to rely on a project.el-internal function. I’ll take a look. Thanks again!


                                  Thanks both for your help, and feel
free to close this at your discretion.

OK, done :)
