This suppresses some byte-code optimizations that were invalid in
the presence of integer overflows, because they meant that .elc
files assumed the runtime behavior of the compiling platform, as
opposed to the runtime platform. Problem reported by Pip Cet in:
https://lists.gnu.org/r/emacs-devel/2018-03/msg00753.html
* lisp/emacs-lisp/byte-opt.el (byte-opt--portable-max)
(byte-opt--portable-min): New constants.
(byte-opt--portable-numberp, byte-opt--arith-reduce)
(byte-optimize-1+, byte-optimize-1-): New functions.
(byte-optimize-plus, byte-optimize-minus, byte-optimize-multiply)
(byte-optimize-divide): Avoid invalid optimizations.
(1+, 1-): Use new optimizers.
(byte-optimize-or, byte-optimize-cond): Simplify by using
remq instead of delq and copy-sequence.
(package--quickstart-pkgs): New var.
(package-activate-1): Obey and fill it.
(package-activate-all): New function.
(package-initialize): Call it.
Set package-initialized before activating the packages.
(package-installed-p): Make it work before package.el is initialized in
the case where min-version is not specified.
(package-install, package-delete): Refresh the quickstart if applicable.
(package-quickstart, package-quickstart-file): New vars.
(package--quickstart-maybe-refresh, package-quickstart-refresh):
New functions.
* lisp/startup.el (command-line): Use package-activate-all rather than
package-initialize.
* doc/lispref/package.texi (Packaging Basics):
* doc/emacs/package.texi (Package Installation):
* doc/lispref/os.texi (Startup Summary): Refer to package-activate-all.
When considering markers (to find a starting point for the conversion),
typically one of the two bounds is nearby (coming from
cached_(byte|char)pos) but the other is far (point-min or point-max),
so change the exit condition so we stop as soon as *one* of the bounds
is near.
(BYTECHAR_DISTANCE_INITIAL, BYTECHAR_DISTANCE_INCREMENT): New constants.
(buf_charpos_to_bytepos, buf_bytepos_to_charpos): Use them to try and
reduce the number of markers we consider.
* lisp/eshell/esh-proc.el (eshell/kill): Handle the argument parsing
and numeric conversion in function in order to parse -signal and
-SIGNALNAME correctly.
* doc/misc/eshell.texi (kill): Update docs to reflect new function
behaviour.
* etc/NEWS: Mention new eshell/kill behaviour.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/byte-opt.el (byte-optimize-memq): Call
byte-optimize-and only for memq forms that can be optimized, use
byte-optimize-predicate to optimize the final form.
* lisp/gnus/gnus-registry.el (gnus-registry-clean-empty)
(gnus-registry-use-long-group-names)
(gnus-registry-max-track-groups, gnus-registry-entry-caching)
(gnus-registry-trim-articles-without-groups):
Remove variables labeled as obsolete since 23.4 that do nothing.
* lisp/allout.el (allout-passphrase-verifier-string)
(allout-passphrase-hint-string):
* lisp/w32-vars.el (w32-list-proportional-fonts):
Remove variables that are unused since Emacs 23.x.
* lisp/emulation/viper-cmd.el, lisp/emulation/viper-keym.el:
* lisp/emulation/viper-util.el, lisp/net/newst-plainview.el:
* lisp/net/newst-treeview.el, lisp/ps-def.el, lisp/vc/ediff.el:
* lisp/vc/ediff-util.el, lisp/vc/ediff-wind.el:
Remove stub declare-function definitions.
It exists since Emacs 22.2, released 10 years ago.
Most of these files are using even newer features, such as
lexical-binding and cl-lib anyway, making the stubs pointless.
* lisp/progmodes/idlw-toolbar.el: No need for cl.
* lisp/progmodes/antlr-mode.el, lisp/progmodes/idlw-shell.el:
* lisp/progmodes/idlwave.el: Replace cl with cl-lib.
When optimizing arithmetic operations, avoid optimizations that
are valid for mathematical numbers but invalid for floating-point.
For example, do not optimize (+ 1 v 0.5) to (+ v 1.5), as they may
not be the same due to rounding errors. In general,
floating-point numbers cannot be constant-folded, since that would
make .elc files platform-dependent.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/byte-opt.el (byte-optimize-associative-math):
Do not optimize floats.
(byte-optimize-nonassociative-math, byte-optimize-approx-equal)
(byte-optimize-delay-constants-math, byte-compile-butlast)
(byte-optimize-logmumble):
Remove; no longer used.
(byte-optimize-minus): Do not optimize (- 0 x) to (- x).
(byte-optimize-multiply): Do not optimize (* -1 x) to (- x).
(byte-optimize-divide): Do not optimize (/ x -1) to (- x).
(logand, logior, logxor): Optimize with byte-optimize-predicate
instead of with byte-optimize-logmumble.
* test/lisp/emacs-lisp/bytecomp-tests.el:
(byte-opt-testsuite-arith-data): Add a couple of test cases.
* test/src/data-tests.el (data-tests-kill-all-local-variables): New test.
* src/buffer.c (swap_out_buffer_local_variables): Remove.
Fuse the body of its loop into that of reset_buffer_local_variables.
(Fkill_buffer, Fkill_all_local_variables): Don't call it any more.
(reset_buffer_local_variables): Make sure the buffer's local binding
is swapped out before removing it from the alist (bug#30846).
Call watchers before actually killing the var.
* src/data.c (Fmake_local_variable): Simplify.
Use swap_in_global_binding to swap out any local binding, instead of
a mix of find_symbol_value followed by messing with where&found.
Don't call swap_in_symval_forwarding since the currently swapped
binding is never one we've modified.
(Fkill_local_variable): Use swap_in_global_binding rather than messing
with where&found to try and trick find_symbol_value into doing the same.
* src/alloc.c (mark_localized_symbol): 'where' can't be a frame any more.
Unchain all dead markers with a single scan of the markers list,
instead of calling the O(N) 'unchain_marker' N times.
(unchain_dead_markers): New function.
(sweep_buffers): Use it.
(gc_sweep): Sweep buffers before markers.
(sweep_misc): Check that markers have been unchained when reclaiming them.
* doc/lispref/variables.texi (Defining Variables)
(Using Lexical Binding):
* doc/lispref/compile.texi (Compiler Errors): Emphasize that omitting
VALUE for `defvar' marks the variable special only locally.
* doc/lispref/variables.texi (Using Lexical Binding): Add example of
using `defvar' without VALUE.
