* lisp/international/fontset.el (setup-default-fontset): Make sure
Symbola and FreeMono are set up in the default fontset as belonging
to the "iso10646-1" registry. In the UTF-8 locale, this avoids a
long and futile search for a suitable font, whose side effect is a
lot of consing, which then hits the font-cache compacting issue,
and causes very sluggish redisplay of characters displayed by
these fonts. All this happens because the default for the
registry is "iso8859-1". (Bug#24953)

"Don't call debug on failed cl-assert..." removed the call to `debug' in
cl--assertion-failed because `debug' calls `kill-emacs' in batch mode,
thus messing up ert test runs. However, calling the debugger is useful
because it allows catching failed assertions even inside
`condition-case' calls. The problem with ert can be avoided by calling
`debugger' instead of `debug' directly, since ert installs its own
debugger while running tests.

2015-02-07 "Fix hideshow integration[...]" changed the regexp added to
`hs-special-modes-alist' so that it worked when not searching from the
beginning of the line. However, this allows matching tokens ending in
"def" or "class", not just those keywords. This results in an infinite
loop in hs-hide-all (Bug #24815).
* lisp/progmodes/python.el (python-mode): Add symbol boundaries around
the def|class matching part of the regexp added to
hs-special-modes-alist.
Apple changed the spelling of its operating system again, to "macOS",
effective with macOS 10.12 Sierra (2016-09-20). Change Emacs
documentation and comments to match this. Stick with older OS
spellings ("OS X", "Mac OS X") when talking about older releases where
the older names are more correct.
Emacs C code assumes C99 features, but has long used traditional
comments /* like this */ instead of C99-style comments // like this.
Stick with traditional comments for now, partly for style, partly as
it may be safer with compilers that are not fully in C99 mode.
Doing this causes problems when running ert tests, for
instance (Bug#24778). The call to `debug` when `debug-on-error' is
non-nil was introduced in 2015-02-14 "* lisp/emacs-lisp/cl*.el: Use

Backport:
(cherry picked from commit 1fef1387c3)
With Python 3.5, (python-shell-completion-native-get-completions ... "")
would return an empty list, causing python.el to think that native
completion was unavailable (the difference between Python 2 and Python 3
is due to https://bugs.python.org/issue25660).
* lisp/progmodes/python.el (python-shell-completion-native-try): Use "_"
to check whether native completion is available instead of "".
* src/search.c (looking_at_1, fast_looking_at, search_buffer): Prevent
relocation of buffer contents during calls to re_search_2. This ensures
the pointers into buffer text won't be invalidated by
r_alloc_sbrk (called from malloc with configurations where
REL_ALLOC=yes).
The fix was not complete, and completing it was proving too complicated.
- Revert "* src/regex.c (re_search_2): Make new code safe for
-Wjump-misses-init."
This reverts commit c2a17924a5.
- Revert "Port to GCC 6.2.1 + --enable-gcc-warnings"
This reverts commit f6134bbda2.
- Revert "Fix handling of allocation in regex matching"
This reverts commit ad66b3fadb.
- Revert "Fix handling of buffer relocation in regex.c functions"
This reverts commit ee04aedc72.
This should make ralloc-related bugs less likely on GNU/Linux
systems with bleeding-edge glibc. See the email thread containing:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2016-10/msg00801.html
Do not merge to master.
* configure.ac (REL_ALLOC): Default to 'no' on all platforms, not
merely on platforms with Doug Lea malloc. Although bleeding-edge
glibc no longer exports __malloc_initialize_hook and so longer
passes the configure-time test for Doug Lea malloc, ralloc tickles
longstanding bugs like Bug#24358 and Bug#24764 and Emacs is likely
to be more reliable without it. This patch is not needed on
master, which uses hybrid malloc in this situation.
