Documentation

Whether to display the warning buffer at the bottom of the screen.

If this is non-nil (the default), Emacs will attempt to display the window showing the warning buffer at the bottom of the selected frame, whether by reusing the bottom-most window or by creating a new window at the bottom of the frame. The resulting window will be scrolled to the bottom of the buffer to show the last warning message.

If the value of this variable is nil, Emacs will display the warning buffer in some window, as determined by display-buffer and its customizations. In particular, the category designated by the symbol warning can be used in display-buffer-alist to customize the display of this buffer.

This option affects display of all the buffers shown by display-warning, including warnings from byte-compiler and native-compiler, from check-declare, etc.

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in Emacs 30.1.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 30.1.
