[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Severity: minor
Tags: patch

As Mattias pointed out in https://bugs.gnu.org/62599#14, byte-compiling
verilog-mode currently emits the following warning:

  In verilog-diff-file-with-buffer:
  progmodes/verilog-mode.el:11894:26: Warning: ‘unwind-protect’ without unwind forms

The following patch tries to address that:

[0001-Fix-verilog-diff-file-with-buffer.patch (text/x-diff, inline)]

Subject: [PATCH] Fix verilog-diff-file-with-buffer

* lisp/progmodes/verilog-mode.el: Fix commentary to avoid implying
XEmacs defines diff-command.
(verilog-diff-file-with-buffer): Claim compatibility with Emacs 21
rather than XEmacs in commentary, since the latter does not seem to
define diff-command.  Use get-buffer in place of likely thinko
with-temp-buffer + BUFNAME + current-buffer.  Fix unused
unwind-protect: move temporary file deletion to its unwind forms.
Avoid race condition between file existence check and deletion.
Handle list-valued diff-switches.  Avoid passing empty argument to
diff-command.

[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]

Note that this function may have never worked in XEmacs, at least
judging from the diff.el in the following version I have locally:

  C-u M-x version
  XEmacs 21.4 (patch 24) "Standard C" [Lucid] (x86_64-linux-gnu, Mule)
  of Mon Jun 21 2021 on lgw01-amd64-053

It might be easy to avoid Emacs-isms in verilog-diff-file-with-buffer,
but considering verilog-diff-file-with-buffer probably never worked in
XEmacs, and XEmacs support is on its way out[0], I made no such changes.

[0]: https://github.com/veripool/verilog-mode/issues/1822#issuecomment-1422508926

Note also that verilog-diff-file-with-buffer until now called
with-temp-buffer with the name of a buffer previously created in
verilog-diff-auto.  I assume the intention was to instead call
with-current-buffer, so I made an analogous change.

The patch lists some further fixes.  WDYT?

Thanks,
