The b:changedtick variable for the quickfix buffer indicates how many
times the buffer has been changed/updated after it was displayed in
the quickfix window. For example, after executing the following series
of commands:
cexpr ""
cexpr ""
cexpr ""
copen
colder
colder
cnewer
cnewer
The b:changedtick variable will be set to 6. In the above case the
quickfix list itself is not changing, only the buffer showing the quickifx
list is getting updated.
