Documentation

Function called to find a next-error capable buffer.

This function takes the same three arguments as the function next-error-find-buffer, and should return the buffer to be used by the subsequent invocation of the command next-error and previous-error. If the function returns nil, next-error-find-buffer will try to use the buffer it used previously, and failing that all other buffers.

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in Emacs 28.1.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 27.1.
