As explained previously, we can't simply make
eldoc-documentation-function an variable alias for
eldoc-documentation-strategy, because ElDoc is pre-loaded in Emacs <
28, where it holds at least one buffer-local binding. So if eldoc.el
is loaded in those versions, we do the variable alias binding in
reverse. We do this using a macro
eldoc--documentation-strategy-defcustom to at load time in which
direction to make the variable alias.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/eldoc.el
(eldoc--documentation-strategy-defcustom): Helper macro.
(eldoc-documentation-strategy, eldoc-documentation-function): Use it.
(Version): Bump to 1.5.0
* lisp/net/tramp-adb.el (tramp-adb-execute-adb-command): Revert return
value meaning. Insert the result into the connection buffer.
(tramp-adb-handle-file-local-copy)
(tramp-adb-handle-write-region, tramp-adb-handle-copy-file)
(tramp-adb-get-device): Adapt calls.
(tramp-adb-send-command): Use "adb shell ..." in case the command
contains multibyte chars.
* test/lisp/net/tramp-tests.el (tramp--test-utf8): Extend test.
* lisp/progmodes/project.el (project-find-functions)
(project-current, project-switch-to-buffer): Doc fix.
(project-current): Rename the argument DIR to DIRECTORY.
When defining the obsolete variable alias for old
eldoc-documentation-function (which now points to the newer
eldoc-documentation-strategy), one gets the error "don't know how to
make a localized vareiable an alias". I'm not sure, but I suspect
this is because Eldoc is preloaded in Emacs 26.3 and the
eldoc-documentation-function variable is already set locally by some
Elisp buffer.
Uninterning the symbol shortly before defining the alias seems to fix
it.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/eldoc.el (eldoc-documentation-function):
Unintern on load.
(Version): Bump to 1.3.0
The command should always invoke Eldoc when called interactively,
instead of going through the usual checks, which are performed to
avoid interference with other commands.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/eldoc.el (eldoc-print-current-symbol-info): Rework.
(Version): Bump to 1.2.0
The truncation algorithm still has a long way to go for very narrow
frame sizes. It should become a generic mechanism that would allows
one to truncate a string so that fits in N possibly truncated screen
lines of a full-width window.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/eldoc.el (eldoc-handle-docs): Tweak
Elisp-mode was doing a lot of work that can now be delegated to Eldoc.
Flymake uses the new Eldoc functionality, too, installing a global
documentation function that may report on diagnostics under point.
CEDET's grammar.el was left as the only user of an Eldoc-internal
function. That function was moved to grammar.el. That file is still,
somewhat reprehensibly, using an internal function of elisp-mode.el,
but this was left unchanged.
In other situations, eldoc-documentation-functions is used or
recommended.
The only other places where the obsolete eldoc-documentation-function
is still used is in libraries which are presumably meant to remain
compatible with previous Emacs versions.
* lisp/progmodes/elisp-mode.el (elisp-eldoc-funcall)
(elisp-eldoc-var-docstring): New functions.
(emacs-lisp-mode): Put two elements in
eldoc-documentation-functions.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/eldoc.el (eldoc--eval-expression-setup): Setup
new Elisp eldoc-documentation-functions.
* lisp/progmodes/flymake.el (flymake-mode): Use
flymake-eldoc-function.
(flymake-eldoc-function): New function.
(Package-Requires): Require eldoc 1.1.0
* lisp/descr-text.el (describe-char-eldoc): Recommend
eldoc-documentation-functions.
* lisp/progmodes/cfengine.el (cfengine3-documentation-function):
Recommend eldoc-documentation-functions
* lisp/progmodes/octave.el (inferior-octave-mode): Use
eldoc-documentation-functions.
* lisp/cedet/semantic/grammar.el (semantic--docstring-format-sym-doc):
New function.
(semantic-grammar-eldoc-get-macro-docstring): Adjust.
The function eldoc is just an alias for
eldoc-print-current-symbol-info, which is made interactive.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/eldoc.el (eldoc-print-current-symbol-info): Now an
interactive function.
(eldoc): Alias to eldoc-print-current-symbol-info.
This is a backward compatible redesign of significant parts of the
eldoc.el library.
Previously, Eldoc clients (major/minor modes setting its documentation
gathering variables) needed to directly call eldoc-message, an
internal function, to display the docstring to the user. When more
asynchronous sources are involved, this is hard to do or even breaks
down.
Now, an Eldoc backend may return any non-nil, non-string value and
call a callback afterwards. This restores power to Eldoc over how
(and crucially also when) to display the docstrings to the user.
Among other things, this fixes so called "doc blinking", or the very
short-lived display of a lower priority Eldoc message. This would
happen if a particular producer of documentation finishes shortly
before a higher priority one, like in the LSP engine Eglot as reported
by Andrii Kolomoiets <andreyk.mad@gmail.com> and Dmitry Gutov
<dgutov@yandex.ru>.
Gathering docstrings is now delegated to the variable
eldoc-documentation-strategy, which is the new name for the
now-obsolete eldoc-documentation-function, and still accepts the
so-called "old protocol". Examples of the new strategies enabled are
codified in functions such as eldoc-documentation-enthusiast,
eldoc-documentation-compose-eagerly, along with the existing
eldoc-documentation-compose and eldoc-documentation-default.
The work of displaying and formatting docstrings is shifted almost
fully to Eldoc itself and is delegated to the internal function
eldoc--handle-docs. Among other improvements, it handles most of
eldoc-echo-area-use-multiline-p and outputs documentation to a
temporary *eldoc* buffer.
The manual and NEWS are updated to mention the new Eldoc features.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/eldoc.el (eldoc-documentation-functions):
Overhaul docstring.
(eldoc-documentation-compose, eldoc-documentation-default): Handle
non-nil, non-string values of elements of
eldoc-documentation-functions. Use eldoc--handle-multiline.
(eldoc-print-current-symbol-info): Honour non-nil, non-string
values returned by eldoc-documentation-callback.
(eldoc--make-callback): Now also a function.
(eldoc-documentation-default, eldoc-documentation-compose): Tweak docstring.

(turn-on-eldoc-mode): Mention eldoc-documentation-strategy.
(eldoc-message-function): Mention eldoc--message.
(eldoc-message): Made obsolete.
(eldoc--message): New helper.
* lisp/hexl.el (hexl-print-current-point-info): Adjust to new
eldoc-documentation-functions protocol.
* lisp/progmodes/cfengine.el (cfengine3-documentation-function):
Adjust to new eldoc-documentation-functions protocol.
* lisp/progmodes/elisp-mode.el
(elisp-eldoc-documentation-function): Adjust to new
eldoc-documentation-functions protocol.
* lisp/progmodes/octave.el (octave-eldoc-function): Adjust to new
eldoc-documentation-functions protocol.

* doc/emacs/programs.texi (Lisp Doc): Mention
eldoc-documentation-strategy.
* doc/lispref/modes.texi (Major Mode Conventions): Mention
eldoc-documentation-functions.
* etc/NEWS: Mention eldoc-documentation-strategy.
This is the same transformation made for member to memq.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/byte-opt.el (byte-optimize-assoc): New function.
(assoc, rassoc): Set the byte-optimizer property.
Most pure functions need no explicit optimisation; we can do away with
almost all uses of byte-optimize-predicate (now renamed to
byte-optimize-constant-args, since it is not just for predicates).
Also remove some superfluous arity warnings.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/byte-opt.el (byte-optimize-identity, byte-optimize-memq)
(byte-optimize-nth, byte-optimize-nthcdr):
Remove arity warnings and simplify.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/byte-opt.el (<, >, <=, >=, not, null, consp, listp)
(symbolp, stringp, string<, string-lessp, proper-list-p, logand)
(logior, logxor, lognot, car, cdr, car-safe, cdr-safe):
Remove superfluous byte-optimizer property.
(byte-optimize-predicate): Rename to byte-optimize-constant-args.
All uses changed.
Extend the list of 'pure' functions to many predicates and numerical
functions that we are reasonably confident will give portable results.
Also include various list and array accessors, because our use of purity
in the byte compiler isn't affected by the mutability of arguments.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/byte-opt.el: Update example in comment.
(pure-fns): Add many functions.
(byte-optimize-form-code-walker) Don't signal errors during evaluation
of calls to pure functions with constant arguments at compile time,
since such calls are not necessarily reachable.
This reverts commit 9f9ce631a2.
It's still a bottleneck, but so are mapcar (with its effect on GC) and
concat. So our limits show in several places at once.
* lisp/progmodes/verilog-mode.el (verilog-auto-inst): Support regexp of
what AUTOINST I/O to include, issue #1682. Reported by Mrainy.
(verilog-font-lock-keywords-1): Fix highlighting module names with no
following (, issue #1679. Reported by Vinam Arora.
(verilog-font-lock-keywords) Adds syntax highlighting for identifiers in
declaration statements, #1678.
(verilog-calculate-indent, verilog-inject-arg)
(verilog-keywords, verilog-showscopes): Support AMS
connectmodule/endconnectmodule, #1665. Reported by Dan McMahill.
With bignums, the set of representable integers is no longer
platform-dependent, and since we use nothing but IEEE754 64-bit
floats, all numbers are now portable. Take advantage of this fact
to simplify constant-folding in the byte compiler, allowing it to
be applied more widely.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/byte-opt.el (byte-opt--portable-max)
(byte-opt--portable-min, byte-opt--portable-numberp): Remove.
(byte-opt--arith-reduce, byte-optimize-minus, byte-optimize-1+)
(byte-optimize-1-): Simplify: any number will do, and if N is a
number, then so are -N, N+1 and N-1.
* lisp/progmodes/js.el (js-mode): Use "\\(?:" in the value of
comment-start-skip rather than "\\(", fixing the second half of bug #41952.
Call c-foreign-init-lit-pos-cache and install c-foreign-truncate-lit-pos-cache
on before-change-functions, to connect up correctly with CC Mode's filling
mechanism.
* lisp/textmodes/mhtml-mode.el (mhtml--crucial-variable-prefix): Add prefixes
"adaptive-fill-", "fill-", "normal-auto-fill-function" and "paragraph-" to
pull in variables crucial to filling.
(mhtml-syntax-propertize): Read the current submode from the piece of text
being propertized rather than one character before it, and do so before
erasing the submode text-property.
(mhtml-mode): Set the js-mode value of auto-fill-function to js-do-auto-fill.
Correctly initialize and use CC Mode's filling facilities, as above.
Also add functions to enable correct use of CC Mode's filling functionality
from major modes which don't initialize CC Mode fully. These modes are
currently js-mode and mhtml-mode.
* lisp/progmodes/cc-langs.el (comment-start-skip): Replace "\\(" by "\\(?:" so
that (match-end 1) isn't falsely taken to be the start of the comment.
* lisp/progmodes/cc-engine.el (c-foreign-truncate-lit-pos-cache)
(c-foreign-init-lit-pos-cache): New functions.
* lisp/simple.el (read--expression): Set syntax table to
'emacs-lisp-mode-syntax-table' when reading a Lisp expression
from the minibuffer. (Bug#41781)
