GNU Emacs Advice Function Removal Before Dawn

Date published: 2024-07-12T04:38:00+0300

The following function definition removes every advice-function from an advised-function.

(defun kakafarm/advice-unadvise (function)
  "Remove every advice-function from FUNCTION."
  (advice-mapc
   (lambda (advice-function properties-alist)
     (advice-remove function
                    advice-function))
   function))

Let's say you add the following advice to the scratch-buffer command so that the *scratch* buffer would switch to text-mode each time you run scratch-buffer:

(advice-add 'scratch-buffer
            :after
            (lambda ()
              (text-mode)))

Maybe you also add more advice functions interactively to the scratch-buffer function it's a big mess. You want to remove all the advice functions, so you run:

(kakafarm/advice-unadvise 'scratch-buffer)
