Implement a limited form of tail-call optimization for the special
case of recursive functions defined with `cl-labels`. Only self-recursion
is optimized, no attempt is made to handle more complex cases such a mutual
recursion.
The main benefit is to reduce the use of the stack, tho in my limited
tests, this can also improve performance (about half of the way to
a hand-written `while` loop).
(cl--self-tco): New function.
(cl-labels): Use it.
* lisp/subr.el (letrec): Optimize single-binding corner case.
* test/lisp/emacs-lisp/cl-macs-tests.el (cl-macs--labels): Add tests
to check that TCO is working.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/eieio-core.el (eieio-defclass-autoload): Try to make
the wording of the warning about the obsoleted variable less confusing.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/bytecomp.el (byte-compile-check-variable): Don't
warn for lexical variables (Bug#39169). Fix spurious `or'.
* test/lisp/emacs-lisp/bytecomp-tests.el
(bytecomp/warn-obsolete-variable-bound\.el): New test.
* test/lisp/emacs-lisp/bytecomp-resources/warn-obsolete-variable-bound.el:
New file.
* test/lisp/emacs-lisp/package-tests.el
(package-test-list-filter-by-name, package-test-list-clear-filter):
Use ansi-color instead of tetris, which no longer has a version:.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/find-func.el (find-function-search-for-symbol): If
our regexp algorithm could not find a location for the symbol
definition, resort to find-function--search-by-expanding-macros.
* test/lisp/emacs-lisp/find-func-tests.el: Add a automatic test for a
function and variable generated by a macro.
* etc/NEWS: Advertise the improved functionality (bug#45443).
* lisp/emacs-lisp/bytecomp.el (byte-compile-file): Don’t fail if
target filename doesn’t contain a directory name.
* test/lisp/emacs-lisp/bytecomp-tests.el
(bytecomp-tests--target-file-no-directory): New unit test.
See Bug#44631. While testing for a readonly output directory has
slightly different semantics, in practice they should cover cases
where Emacs is sandboxed and can only write to the destination file,
not its directory.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/bytecomp.el (byte-compile-file): Handle the case
where the output directory is not writable.
* test/lisp/emacs-lisp/bytecomp-tests.el
(bytecomp-tests--not-writable-directory)
(bytecomp-tests--dest-mountpoint): New unit tests.
The debugger needs to receive a list of the error symbol and data;
cf. the documentation of the `debugger' variable. This bug manifested
itself in ERT forms such as (should (integerp (ert-fail "Boo"))),
which resulted in an incorrect condition object. Note that forms such
as (should (ert-fail "Boo")) weren't affected because they wouldn't
use the `ert--should-signal-hook'.
* test/emacs-lisp/ert.el (ert--should-signal-hook): Call debugger with
the right arguments.
* test/lisp/emacs-lisp/ert-tests.el (ert-test-fail-inside-should): Add
unit test.
* test/lisp/emacs-lisp/bytecomp-tests.el
(bytecomp--with-warning-test): New macro.
(bytecomp-warn-wrong-args, bytecomp-warn-wrong-args-subr):
Use above new macro.
(bytecomp-warn-variable-lacks-prefix): New test.
* test/lisp/emacs-lisp/rx-tests.el (rx-compat): Use with-no-warnings
instead of with-suppressed-warnings which complains when running
the test interactively.
This is a regression from Emacs 26.
Reported by Phillip Stephani.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/rx.el (rx--pcase-transform): Process ? and ?? correctly.
* test/lisp/emacs-lisp/rx-tests.el (rx-pcase): Add test case.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/easy-mmode.el (easy-mmode--arg-docstring):
Only document the values we want to support, not the ones we
actually support.
(define-minor-mode): Partially revert to previous behaviour.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/easy-mmode.el (easy-mmode--arg-docstring):
Clarify when minor modes are switched on/off when called from lisp
(bug#44341).
(define-minor-mode): Make calls from Lisp switch the mode on/off
as documented.
Since a supplied test function can do anything, assoc is not
side-effect-free (bug#44018). However, with only two arguments it is
pure and should be optimised accordingly.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/byte-opt.el (side-effect-free-fns): Remove 'assoc'.
(byte-optimize-assoc): Constant-propagate through 2-arg assoc calls.
* test/lisp/emacs-lisp/bytecomp-tests.el
(byte-opt-testsuite-arith-data): Add test cases.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/unsafep.el:
Add comment explaining the policy for which forms can be considered
'safe' in the sense of unsafep. Remove ones that didn't make the cut:
play-sound-file (large attack surface)
catch, throw (alter program flow, inject data)
replace-regexp-in-string (execute arbitary code)
error, signal (deceptive messages)
* test/lisp/emacs-lisp/unsafep-tests.el (unsafep-tests--unsafe):
Add test cases.
* etc/NEWS: Announce the change.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/text-property-search.el
(text-property-search-forward, text-property-search-backward): Doc fix
to clarify placement of point after search.
* test/lisp/emacs-lisp/text-property-search-tests.el
(text-property-search--pos-test): New defun.
(text-property-search-forward-point-at-beginning)
(text-property-search-backward-point-at-end): New test.
* doc/lispref/modes.texi (Defining Minor Modes): Describe the new
:predicate keyword (bug#44232).
* lisp/emacs-lisp/easy-mmode.el (define-globalized-minor-mode):
Allow a new :predicate keyword.
(easy-mmode--globalized-predicate-p): New function.
* test/lisp/emacs-lisp/bindat-tests.el
(bindat-test-pack/multibyte-string-fails)
(bindat-test-unpack/multibyte-string-fails): Don't use
decode-coding-string.
