* src/xdisp.c (display_and_set_cursor): Don't index glyphs of a
glyph row if hpos is out of valid bounds. This avoids crashes in
some rare cases. (Bug#24614)
* src/editfns.c (Fformat): Fix ambiguity in the doc string's usage
of a literal period. (Bug#24407)
This was backported from master
(cherry picked from commit 7123896626)
* src/frame.c (candidate_frame): Check minibuf argument before
comparing it to zero (Bug#24281).
This was backported from master
(cherry picked from commit dc491c3df3)
* src/eval.c (call_debugger): Bind inhibit-changing-match-data to nil so
that debugger code that needs to do regexp match won't break
(Bug #23949, Bug #24166, Bug#16294).
This was backported from master
(cherry picked from commit 7fb75680b3)
* src/xdisp.c (move_it_in_display_line_to): Don't assume we can
wrap on a whitespace character if it's followed by another
whitespace character. When returning under WORD_WRAP for a screen
line that is continued, restore to wrap point when atpos/atx
position would be displayed on the next screen line due to
line-wrap. (Bug#23570)
This is backported from master
(cherry picked from commit 99848b37d2)
* src/character.h (STRING_CHAR):
* src/buffer.h (FETCH_MULTIBYTE_CHAR): Update commentary: these
two macros no longer do any character unification, so the caveats
in those comments are no longer pertinent.
* src/window.h (WINDOW_MODE_LINE_HEIGHT, WINDOW_HEADER_LINE_HEIGHT): Fix
confusing claim that "height is in pixels and in lines"; in fact it's in
pixels.
* doc/lispref/processes.texi (Subprocess Creation, Shell Arguments):
Mention 'make-process' rather than 'start-process'. Update wrt
standard destinations of standard output/error streams and due to
different formats of arguments accepted by 'make-process'.
(Processes): Mention process objects that represent connections.
(Synchronous Processes): Minor clarifications.
(Asynchronous Processes): Describe 'make-process' and
'make-pipe-process' before 'start-process'. Update and expand the
documentation.
(Deleting Processes, Process Information, Input to Processes)
(Signals to Processes, Query Before Exit, Network): Update and
expand the documentation, especially wrt process objects that
represent connections.
(Output from Processes): Mention the possibility of separating
stderr via 'make-process'.
(Filter Functions): Mention that stderr by default arrives at the
filter function together with stdout. (Bug#24287)
* src/process.c (Fprocess_id, Fprocess_command)
(Fprocess_contact, Fprocess_type, Fstop_process): Doc fixes for
process objects that represent connections.
* src/fileio.c (Fwrite_region): Clarify that END is ignored if
START is nil.
* src/editfns.c (Fbuffer_size): Add short discussion about
narrowing.
* src/callproc.c (Fcall_process_region): Discuss behavior when
START and END are not buffer positions.
* src/character.h (BYTES_BY_CHAR_HEAD, MULTIBYTE_LENGTH)
(MULTIBYTE_LENGTH_NO_CHECK, STRING_CHAR_AND_LENGTH): Remove stale
info from commentary and improve it.
* src/xdisp.c (redisplay_window): Save and restore the state of
the bidi cache before reusing the iterator after calls to
try_window and try_window_reusing_current_matrix.
It's important to adjust the match data in between calling
before-change-functions and after-change-functions, so that buffer
change hooks will always see match-data consistent with buffer content.
(Bug #23917)
* src/insdel.c (replace_range): Add new parameter ADJUST_MATCH_DATA, if
true call update_search_regs. Update all callers (except
Freplace_match) to pass 0 for the new parameter.
* src/search.c (update_search_regs): New function, extracted from
Freplace_match.
(Freplace_match): Remove match data adjustment code, pass 1 for
ADJUST_MATCH_DATA to replace_range instead.
Backport from master (Bug#24033).
Inspired by a suggestion by Florian Weimer in:
https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-07/msg00425.html
* src/emacs.c (main) [__PPC64__]:
Special case for __PPC64__, which needs ASLR disabled in
dumped Emacs too.
This expansion of the FIXME is so that future developers are aware of
the potential problems of aliasing fboundp to symbol-function without
taking backwards compatibility into account.
* src/data.c (fboundp): Note potential backwards compatibility issues in
FIXME.
Copyright-paperwork-exempt: yes
* src/editfns.c (Ftranspose_regions): Regions may overlap, so
use memmove instead of memcpy (bug#19213).
Copyright-paperwork-exempt: yes
This is a backport from trunk.
(cherry picked from commit 354f9f0fc6)
Make the documentation of the search functions more accurate,
complete, and uniform; in particular, extend the description of
the effect when the 'count' parameter is a negative number to all
of these functions.
* src/search.c (Fsearch_backward, Fsearch_forward)
(Fre_search_backward, Fre_search_forward)
(Fposix_search_backward, Fposix_search_forward):
* lisp/isearch.el (word-search-backward, word-search-forward)
(word-search-backward-lax, word-search-forward-lax): Improve doc
strings as described above.
* doc/lispref/searching.texi (String Search, Regexp Search)
(POSIX Regexps): Use 'count' instead of 'repeat' as the name of
the fourth parameter of the *-search-{forward,backward} functions
and improve documentation as described above.
* lisp/simple.el (undo-auto--undoable-change-no-timer): New function.
* src/fileio.c (insert-buffer-contents): Call
undo-auto--undoably-changed-buffers before changes.
Addresses Bug#23785.
Do not merge to master as c98bc98 also addresses the same bug.
Problem reported by Christer Ekholm (Bug#23864).
Backport from master.
* src/process.c (wait_reading_process_output):
Fix typo introduced in 2015-07-06T02:19:13Z!eggert@cs.ucla.edu
when wait == INFINITY and got_output_end_time is invalid.
In this case the code should break, not continue.
* src/undo.c (record_insert): Use record_point instead of
prepare_record, and do so unconditionally.
(prepare_record): Do not record first change.
(record_point): Now conditional on state before the last command.
(record_delete): Call record_point unconditionally.
(record_property_change): Use prepare_record.
(record_marker_adjustments): Use prepare_record.
Addresses Bug# 21722
* src/search.c (Freplace_match): Error out if buffer modification
hooks triggered by buffer changes in replace_range, upcase-region,
and upcase-initials-region clobber the match data needed to be
adjusted for the replacement. (Bug#23869)
* src/dispextern.h (FONT_TOO_HIGH): Don't consider a font "too
high" if its pixel_size value is zero. This avoids assertion
violations at the end of x_produce_glyphs.
* src/w32.c (init_environment): Improve warning message that pops when
Emacs sets HOME according to existence of C:\.emacs (Bug #11612).

* src/minibuf.c (Fassoc_string): Clarify how CASE-FOLD affects the
string comparison. (Bug#23833)
* src/fns.c (Fcompare_strings): Fix the description of how
IGNORE-CASE affects the comparison.
* doc/lispref/strings.texi (Text Comparison): Clarify how
CASE-FOLD affects the string comparison in 'assoc-string'. Fix
the description of how IGNORE-CASE affects the comparison in
'compare-strings'.
The commit 1fd3172d "(Fbackward_prefix_chars): Set point properly while
scanning" (1998-03-18), moved the check against of the position against the
buffer beginning out the loop condition so that we might end up checking
the syntax of characters before the beginning of the buffer. This can
cause segfaults or trigger a "Point before start of properties" error in
`update_interval' (called indirectly from `char_quoted').
* src/syntax.c (Fbackward_prefix_chars): Stop the loop when beginning of
buffer is reached (Bug #3552, Bug #17132, Bug #19379).
* src/dbusbind.c (Fdbus__init_bus): Use make_save_pointer to store
connection address. (Bug#23741)
(xd_lisp_dbus_to_dbus): Use XSAVE_POINTER to retrieve connection
address.
