Too early to decide what will be in it, if anything. Though "M-n" and
"M-p" would be great.
* lisp/progmodes/flymake-ui.el (flymake-mode-map): New variable
Also fix behaviour whereby flymake wouldn't react to a change in the
variable.

(flymake-double-exclamation-mark): New bitmap.
(flymake-error, flymake-warning, flymake-note)
(flymake--highlight-line): 'bitmap property must be a symbol.
Also set default face to flymake-error.
(flymake--fringe-overlay-spec): Bitmap property can be a
variable symbol.
The first of these problems is longstanding: if an error-less B.h is
included from error-ridden A.h, flymake's legacy parser will panic
(and disable itself) since it sees a non-zero exit for a clean file.
To fix this, recommend returning 'true' in the documentation for the
check-syntax target.
Another problem was introduced by the parser rewrite. For error
patterns spanning more than one line, point may be left in the middle
of a line and thus render other patterns useless. Those patterns were
written for the old line-by-line parser. To make them useful again,
move to the beginning of line in those situations.
The third problem was also longstanding and happened on newer GCC's:
The "In file included from" prefix confused
flymake-proc-get-real-file-name. Fix this.
Also updated flymake--diag-region to fallback to highlighting a full
line less often.
Add automatic tests to check this.
* lisp/progmodes/flymake-proc.el

Loading flymake-elisp.el doesn't setup flymake-mode to turn on
automatically, but it affects emacs-lisp-mode-hook so that
flymake-diagnostic-functions is setup with a suitable buffer-local
value. The variable flymake-diagnostic-funtions in every live
emacs-lisp-mode buffer is also adjusted.

Add filters, useful for backends like the upcoming
flymake-elisp-checkdoc backend, for example, which litters everything
with low-priority notes.
Also re-implement wraparound for flymake-goto-next-error. Manual
mentions this, so it's probably a good idea to keep it. Added a new
customization variable flymake-wrap-around to control it.
* lisp/progmodes/flymake.el (flymake-goto-prev-error)
(flymake-goto-next-error): Accept FILTER argument.

Lay groundwork for multiple active backends in the same buffer.
Backends are lisp functions called when flymake-mode sees fit. They
are responsible for examining the current buffer and telling
flymake.el, via return value, if they can syntax check it.
Backends should return quickly and inexpensively, but they are also
passed a REPORT-FN argument which they may or may not call
asynchronously after performing more expensive work.
REPORT-FN's calling convention stipulates that a backend calls it with
a list of diagnostics as argument, or, alternatively, with a symbol
denoting an exceptional situation, usually some panic resulting from a
misconfigured backend. In keeping with legacy behaviour,
flymake.el's response to a panic is to disable the issuing backend.
The flymake--diag object representing a diagnostic now also keeps
information about its source backend. Among other uses, this allows
flymake to selectively cleanup overlays based on which backend is
updating its diagnostics.
* lisp/progmodes/flymake-proc.el (flymake-proc--report-fn):
New dynamic variable.
(flymake-proc--process): New variable.

Diagnostics are reported for buffers, not necessarily files. It’s the
backend’s responsibility to compute the buffer where the diagnostic is
applicable. For now, this has to match the buffer where flymake-mode
is active and which is at the origin of the backend call.
flymake.el knows nothing about line/column diagnostics (except for
backward-compatible flymake-ler-make-ler, which must yet be tested).
It’s also the backend’s reponsibility to compute a BEG and END
positions for the diagnostic in the relevant buffer.
* lisp/progmodes/flymake-proc.el
(flymake-proc--diagnostics-for-pattern): Convert LINE/COL to
region here. Check file buffer here.
(flymake-proc--process-sentinel): Don’t kill output buffer if
high enough log level.
* lisp/progmodes/flymake.el (flymake-diag-region): Make this a utility
function. (flymake--highlight-line): Diagnostic has region now.
(flymake-popup-current-error-menu): Don’t add file and line numbers to
already this silly menu. (flymake--fix-line-numbers): Remove.
(flymake-report): No need to fix diagnostics here.
If flymake-start-syntax-check-on-newline is t, check should start as
soon as a newline is seen by after-change-functions. But don't rush
it: since the buffer state might not be final, we might end up with
invalid diagnostic regions after some commands silently insert and
delete newlines (looking at you, fill-paragraph).
* lisp/progmodes/flymake.el (flymake-after-change-function): Pass
`deferred' to flymake--start-syntax-check.
(flymake--start-syntax-check): Take optional `deferred' arg.
* lisp/progmodes/flymake-proc.el
(flymake-proc--diagnostics-for-pattern): Rewrite (using cl-loop) to
honour more sophisticated flymake-proc-diagnostic-type-pred.
(flymake-warning-re): Is now an obsolete alias for
flymake-proc-diagnostic-type-pred.
(flymake-proc-diagnostic-type-pred): Rename and augment from
flymake-proc-warning-predicate. (flymake-proc-warning-predicate):
Delete.
* lisp/progmodes/flymake.el (flymake-note): New face.
(flymake-diagnostic-types-alist): Simplify.
(flymake-note): New overlay category.
(flymake--lookup-type-property): Only lookup single keys, not lists.
(flymake--diag-errorp): Rewrite.
(flymake--highlight-line): Use flymake--lookup-type-property.
* test/lisp/progmodes/flymake-tests.el
(different-diagnostic-types): Rename from errors-and-warnings.
Check notes.
(flymake-tests--call-with-fixture): Use
flymake-proc-diagnostic-type-pred.
The error patterns for gcc picked up errors for the Makefile itself,
for example. These shouldn't count as actual errors.
* lisp/progmodes/flymake.el (flymake-report): Check
matching file names.
Perhaps binding M-n and M-p to flymake-goto-next-error and
flymake-goto-prev-error also wouldn't be a bad idea.
* lisp/progmodes/flymake.el (flymake-goto-next-error): Use
target overlay's help-echo.
Column numbers are not a great way of marking diagnostic regions, but
that's probably all that can be expected from the flymake-proc.el
backend. For now, try (end-of-thing 'sexp) to discover the
diagnostic's end position.
* lisp/progmodes/flymake-proc.el ()
(flymake-proc-err-line-patterns): Also parse column numbers,
if available, for gcc/javac warnings.
A new user-visible variable is introduced where different diagnostic
types can be categorized. Flymake backends can also contribute to
this variable. Anything that doesn’t match an existing error type
is considered.
The variable’s alists are used to propertize the overlays pertaining
to each error type. The user can override the built-in properties by
either by modifying the alist, or by modifying the properties of a
special "category" symbol, named by the `flymake-category' entry in
the alist.
The `flymake-category' entry is especially useful for, say, the author
of foo-flymake-backend, who issues diagnostics of type :foo-note, that
should behave like notes, except with no fringe bitmap:
(add-to-list 'flymake-diagnostic-types-alist
'(:foo-note
. ((flymake-category . flymake-note)
(bitmap . nil))))
For essential properties like `severity', `priority', etc, a default
value is produced. Some properties like `evaporate' cannot be
overriden.
* lisp/progmodes/flymake.el (flymake--diag): Rename from
flymake-ler.
(flymake-ler-make): Obsolete alias for flymake-diagnostic-make
(flymake-ler-errorp): Rewrite using flymake--severity.

* lisp/progmodes/flymake-proc.el
(flymake-proc--diagnostics-for-pattern): Use flymake-diagnostic-make.
Make Flymake UI some 150 lines lighter
Strip away much of the original implementation's complexity in
manipulating objects representing diagnostics as well as creating and
navigating overlays.
Lay some groundwork for a more flexible approach that allows for
different classes of diagnostics, not necessarily line-based.
Importantly, one overlay per diagnostic is created, whereas the
original implementation had one per line, and on it it concatenated
the results of errors and warnings.
This means that currently, an error and warning on the same line are
problematic and the warning might be overlooked but this will soon be
fixed by setting appropriate priorities.
Since diagnostics can highlight arbitrary regions, not just lines, the
faces were renamed.
Tests pass and backward compatibility with interactive functions is
maintained, but probably any third-party extension or customization
relying on more than a trivial set of flymake.el internals has stopped
working.

Every symbol in this flymake now starts with the prefix flymake-proc-.
Make obsolete aliases for (almost?) every symbol.
Furthermore, many flymake-proc.el symbols are prefixed with
"flymake-proc--", that is they were considered internal.
Some customization variables, interactive functions, and other symbols
considered useful to user customizations or third-party libraries are
considered "public" or "external" and so use a "flymake-proc-" prefix.

After deciding that this work would continue on master only, which
caused two commits named
Revert "Split flymake.el into flymake-proc.el and flymake-ui.el"
and
Revert "Add flymake-backends defcustom"
to be added to the emacs-26 branch, further discussion reversed that
decision.

This means that those two commits MUST be merged to master AFTER ALL.

exception type and message. If libedit is detected, raise an
exception, since this is known to fail.
A customizable variable's initial value cannot depend on that of
another customizable variable, since the variables are initialized
in other than textual order. Problem reported by N. Jackson
(Bug#24291).

* doc/lispref/help.texi (Keys in Documentation): Change text-quoting-style
from a variable to a user option. Describe its changed set of values. State
that it can be customized freely.
It broke the established argument handling methods provided by eshell
aliases (Bug#28568).
* doc/misc/eshell.texi (Aliases): Fix example, call out use of
arguments in aliases.
* lisp/eshell/em-alias.el (eshell-maybe-replace-by-alias): Ignore
ARGS.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/eieio-base.el (eieio-persistent-slot-type-is-class-p):
An `or' form can specify multiple potential classes (or null) as
valid types for a slot, but previously only the final element of the
`or' was actually checked. Now returns all valid classes in the `or'
form.
(eieio-persistent-validate/fix-slot-value): Check if proposed value
matches any of the valid classes.
* test/lisp/emacs-lisp/eieio-tests/eieio-test-persist.el
(eieio-test-multiple-class-slot): Test this behavior.
* lisp/vc/vc-hooks.el (vc-prefix-map):
Bind `vc-region-history' to 'C-x v h', which was earlier bound to
`vc-insert-headers' (Bug#27644).
* doc/emacs/maintaining.texi (VC Change Log): Mention the new binding.
* doc/emacs/vc1-xtra.texi (Version Headers): Remove the association of
'C-x v h' with `vc-insert-headers'.

* lisp/vc/vc-hg.el (vc-hg--pcre-to-elisp-re)
(vc-hg--slurp-hgignore, vc-hg--read-repo-requirements)
(vc-hg-state-fast): Use file-name-absolute-p and directory-name-p
instead of relying on Unix file-name syntax. This avoids
assertion violations on MS-Windows.
