Subject: bug#1505: duplicate entries in compile-history
Date: Sat, 06 Dec 2008 07:12:41 -0700

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 bug-gnu-emacs <at> gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

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


I ran into the following situation yesterday:

I ran one compile command in the morning.  Then, for the rest of the
day, I ran a couple of different compile command, alternating them
many times.  Near the end of the day, I wanted to re-run the first
command, but it had been removed from history.

It would be nice if there were a way to eliminate duplicates from
compile-history, so that older commands were not completely dropped.
For instance, a command could still be put at the front of the list;
but all duplicates of it elsewhere in the list could be removed at the
same time.


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/22.2/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
