Re: unexpected behaviour of `with-output-to-string'

Excuse my putting it bluntly, but, at least for me, this code does not work any better than the code in the distribution. To test it, I fired up a fresh XEmacs[2] via xemacs -vanilla and evaluated the above (defmacro ...). Now I used the following code to open 10 temporary buffers with the new `with-output-to-string' and count the survivors. (progn (let ((i 0)) (while (< i 10) ;(insert (number-to-string i)) (shell-command-to-string "ls") (setq i ( + i 1)))) (let ((i 0) (buffers (buffer-list))) (while buffers (if (string-match "string-output" (buffer-name(car buffers))) (setq i (+ i 1))) (setq buffers (cdr buffers))) i)) For me this evaluates to ten, none of the temporary buffers had been duly killed in the process.
