Although the Lisp manual said that ‘format’ returns a
newly-allocated string, this was not true for a few cases like
(format "%s" ""), and fixing the documentation to allow reuse of
arguments lets us improve performance in common cases like
(format "foo") and (format "%s" "foo") (Bug#28625).
* doc/lispref/strings.texi (Formatting Strings):
* etc/NEWS:
Say that the result of ‘format’ might not be newly allocated.
* src/callint.c (Fcall_interactively):
* src/dbusbind.c (XD_OBJECT_TO_STRING):
* src/editfns.c (Fmessage, Fmessage_box):
* src/xdisp.c (vadd_to_log, Ftrace_to_stderr):
Just use Fformat or Fformat_message, as that’s simpler and no
longer makes unnecessary copies.
* src/editfns.c (styled_format): Remove last argument, as it
is no longer needed: all callers now want it to behave as if it
were true. All remaining callers changed. Make this function
static again. Simplify the function now that we no longer
need to worry about whether the optimization is allowed.
This fixes some URLs I omitted from my previous pass,
notably those in lists.gnu.org. Although lists.gnu.org
does not yet support TLS 1.1, TLS 1.0 is better than nothing.
* lisp/erc/erc.el (erc-official-location):
* lisp/mail/emacsbug.el (report-emacs-bug):
Use https:, not http:.
* doc/elisp/syntax.texi (Position Parse): Note, twice, that syntax-ppss is
equivalent to parse-partial-sexp from the beginning of THE VISIBLE PART OF the
buffer. Final part of the fix for bug #22983.
* doc/lispref/control.texi (Signaling Errors):
* doc/lispref/display.texi (Displaying Messages):
* doc/lispref/strings.texi (Formatting Strings):
Edit for brevity, farming out the details to the new
Text Quoting Style node.
* doc/lispref/help.texi (Text Quoting Style): New section.
Move detailed discussion of text-quoting-style here.
Add discussion about how to output grave accent and apostrophe in
documentation and messages. Adjust xrefs to point to this section
when appropriate.
* etc/NEWS: text-quoting-style semantics have not changed.
This is a partial reversion of yesterday's commit by the same author, which
changed the meaning of nil and introduced the new value t.
* src/doc.c (text_quoting_style, text-quoting-style)
(internal--text-quoting-flag): Revert yesterday's changes.
* lisp/cus-start.el: (top level): Amend the entry for text-quoting-style.
* etc/NEWS: Amend the entry for text-quoting-style.
* doc/lispref/control.texi (Signalling Errors)
* doc/lispref/display.texi (Displaying Messages)
* doc/lispref/strings.texi (Formatting Strings): Bind text-quoting-style to
grave rather than nil to inhibit translation of quotes.
* doc/lispref/help.texi (Keys in Documentation): Revert the description of the
proposed new default, t.
A value of nil for text-quoting-style now means "no translation". t means
"Use curved quotes if displayable".
* src/doc.c (text-quoting-style (function)): modify for new semantics.
(text-quoting-style (variable)): Amend the doc string, set the default value
to t.
* lisp/cus-start.el: (top level): Create a customize entry for
text-quoting-style in group display.
* etc/NEWS: Amend the entry for text-quoting-style.
* doc/emacs/display.texi (Text Display): Describe the translation of ASCII
quotes to curved quotes, and how to influence or inhibit it.
* doc/lispref/control.texi (Signalling Errors)
* doc/lispref/display.texi (Displaying Messages)
* doc/lispref/strings.texi (Formatting Strings): Describe binding
text-quoting-style to nil to inhibit unwanted quote translation.
* 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.
Also revert ee512e9a82
* lisp/files.el (buffer-offer-save): In addition to nil and t, now
allows a third symbol value, `always'. A buffer where this option is
set to `always' will always be offered for save by
`save-some-buffers'.
(save-some-buffers): Check the exact value of this buffer-local
variable. No longer check the buffer name, or the value of
`write-contents-functions'.
* doc/lispref/buffers.texi (Killing Buffers): Note change in manual.
* doc/lispref/files.texi (Saving Buffers): Remove note about buffer
names.
* etc/NEWS: Mention in NEWS.
* src/xdisp.c (handle_display_spec): If the display property is
wrapped in 'disable-eval' form, disable Lisp evaluation while
processing this property.
(handle_single_display_spec): Accept new argument ENABLE_EVAL_P.
If that argument is false, don't evaluate Lisp while processing
display properties.
* lisp/textmodes/enriched.el
(enriched-allow-eval-in-display-props): New defcustom.
(enriched-decode-display-prop): If
enriched-allow-eval-in-display-props is nil, wrap the display
property with 'disable-eval' to disable Lisp evaluation when the
display property is processed for display. (Bug#28350)
* lisp/gnus/mm-view.el (mm-inline-text): Re-enable processing of
enriched text.
* doc/lispref/display.texi (Display Property): Document the
'disable-eval' wrapping of 'display' properties.
* doc/emacs/text.texi (Enriched Properties): Document
'enriched-allow-eval-in-display-props'.
* etc/NEWS: Describe the security issues with Enriched Text mode
and their solution.
Most of this change is to boilerplate commentary such as license URLs.
This change was prompted by ftp://ftp.gnu.org's going-away party,
planned for November. Change these FTP URLs to https://ftp.gnu.org
instead. Make similar changes for URLs to other organizations moving
away from FTP. Also, change HTTP to HTTPS for URLs to gnu.org and
fsf.org when this works, as this will further help defend against
man-in-the-middle attacks (for this part I omitted the MS-DOS and
MS-Windows sources and the test tarballs to keep the workload down).
HTTPS is not fully working to lists.gnu.org so I left those URLs alone
for now.
'cl-gensym' was simply moved here, but let us take an opportunity to
shed some historical baggage.
* lisp/subr.el (gensym): Remove special treatment of PREFIX as a
number. Use "g" as prefix to differentiate from cl-gensym defaults.
* doc/lispref/symbols.texi (Creating Symbols): Update accordingly.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/cl-macs.el (cl--gensym-counter, cl-gensym): Restore.
Bug#28412
* lisp/files.el (basic-save-buffer): Re-arrange function so that
write-contents-functions are run earlier. If they return non-nil,
consider the buffer saved without requiring the buffer to be
visiting a file.
(save-some-buffers): This function should consider any buffer with a
buffer-local value for write-contents-functions eligible for
saving.
* test/lisp/files-tests.el (files-test-no-file-write-contents): New
test.
* doc/lispref/files.texi (Saving Buffers): Mention in docs.
* etc/NEWS: And in NEWS.
Do the special dance with the destination only if it is a
directory name, for consistency with copy-file etc. (Bug#27986).
* doc/emacs/files.texi (Copying and Naming):
* doc/lispref/files.texi (Create/Delete Dirs):
* etc/NEWS: Document this.
* lisp/files.el (copy-directory): Treat NEWNAME as special
only if it is a directory name.
This changes the behavior of rename-file etc. slightly.
The old behavior mostly disagreed with the documentation, and had
a race condition bug that could allow attackers to modify victims'
write-protected directories (Bug#27986).
* doc/lispref/files.texi (Changing Files): Document that in
rename-file etc., NEWFILE is special if it is a directory name.
* etc/NEWS: Document the change in behavior.
* src/fileio.c (directory_like): Remove. All uses removed.
(expand_cp_target): Test only whether NEWNAME is a directory name,
not whether it is currently a directory. This avoids a race.
(Fcopy_file, Frename_file, Fadd_name_to_file, Fmake_symbolic_link):
Document behavior if NEWNAME is a directory name.
(Frename_file): Simplify now that the destdir behavior occurs
only when NEWNAME is a directory name.
* test/lisp/net/tramp-tests.el (tramp-test11-copy-file)
(tramp-test12-rename-file, tramp--test-check-files):
Adjust tests to match new behavior.
* doc/lispref/files.texi (Truenames): Explain handling of
targets of `file-truename' and `make-symbolic-link', which
look like a remote file name.
* etc/NEWS: Precise examples for symlinks which look like
remote file names. MUSTBENEW of `write-region' is not
propagated to file name handlers.
* doc/emacs/cmdargs.texi (Initial Options): Document the
'--module-assertions' command-line option.
* doc/lispref/loading.texi (Dynamic Modules): Add a
cross-reference to the description of '--module-assertions'.
* etc/NEWS: Update the NEWS entry for --module-assertions.
This lets Emacs deal with arbitrary local symlinks without
mishandling their contents (Bug#28156). For example,
(progn (shell-command "ln -fs '~' 'x'") (rename-file "x" "/tmp/x"))
now consistently creates a symbolic link from '/tmp/x' to '~'.
Formerly, it did that only if the working directory was on the
same filesystem as /tmp; otherwise, it expanded the '~' to
the user's home directory.
* lisp/dired.el (dired-get-filename): Use files--name-absolute-system-p
instead of rolling our own code.
* lisp/files.el (files--name-absolute-system-p): New function.
(file-truename, file-chase-links): Use it to avoid mishandling
symlink contents that begin with ~.
(copy-directory, move-file-to-trash):
Use concat rather than expand-file-name, to avoid mishandling
symlink contents that begin with ~.
* src/fileio.c (Fmake_symbolic_link): Do not expand leading "~" in the
target unless interactive. Strip leading "/:" if interactive.
(emacs_readlinkat): Do not prepend "/:" to the link target if
it starts with "/" and contains ":" before NUL.
* test/src/fileio-tests.el (try-link): Rename from try-char,
and accept a string instead of a char. All uses changed.
(fileio-tests--symlink-failure): Also test leading ~, and "/:",
to test the new behavior.
* doc/lispref/files.texi (Relative File Names, Directory Names)
(File Name Expansion):
* doc/lispref/minibuf.texi (Reading File Names):
Document expand-file-name behavior with ~ more clearly
and accurately.
* doc/misc/org.texi (Batch execution): Simplify example
script so that it does not need expand-file-name and thus
will not mishandle file names with leading ~.
* doc/lispref/files.texi (File Attributes):
Document file-attributes atomicity.
* etc/NEWS: Document the fix.
* src/dired.c (file_attributes): New args DIRNAME and FILENAME,
for diagnostics. All callers changed. On platforms like
GNU/Linux that support O_PATH, fix a race condition in
file-attributes and similar functions, so that these functions do
not return nonsense if a directory entry is replaced while getting
its attributes. On non-GNU platforms, do a better (though not
perfect) job of detecting the race, and return nil if detected.
* doc/lispref/windows.texi (Preserving Window Sizes)
(Window Parameters): Use the term `window-preserved-size'
instead of `preserved-size' (Bug#27999).
* lisp/window.el (display-buffer-in-side-window): Fix doc-string
typo.
(delete-other-windows): Rename the `no-delete-other-window'
parameter to `no-delete-other-windows' (see the discussion in
Bug#27999 for the rationale of this change).
* doc/lispref/windows.texi (Deleting Windows)
(Frame Layouts with Side Windows, Window Parameters): Rename
`no-delete-other-window' to `no-delete-other-windows'.
* doc/lispref/files.texi (Saving Buffers): Document how functions
like rename-file work with symlinks and directories. This patch
attempts to document the current behavior better, in preparation
for possibly changing it. See Bug#27986.
* lisp/files.el (make-temp-file): Fix initial TEXT parameter.
(files--make-magic-temp-file): Support optional TEXT parameter.
* etc/NEWS: Document it.
* doc/lispref/files.texi: Document it.
* test/lisp/auth-source-tests.el: Minor reformat.
* doc/lispref/variables.texi (Lexical Binding): The future is here.
* doc/emacs/files.texi (Copying and Naming): Use @w{..} around
constructs that could be split between lines, but shouldn't.
* doc/lispref/functions.texi (Function Names):
* doc/lispref/variables.texi (Tips for Defining):
Document naming conventions for internal-use functions and vars.
See Bug#28023#59.
* doc/lispref/files.texi (Unique File Names):
* src/fileio.c (Fmake_temp_name): Document that make-temp-name
does not guarantee uniqueness on magic file names.
