* doc/lispref/variables.texi (Using Lexical Binding): Document
that lexical-binding is now turned on by default in more cases.
* etc/NEWS: Fix wording of the NEWS entry about the above, and mark it
as fully documented.
Perform 'regexp-opt' on nested 'or' forms, and after expansion of
user-defined and 'eval' forms. Characters are now turned into strings
for wider 'regexp-opt' scope. This preserves the longest-match
semantics for string in 'or' forms over composition.
* doc/lispref/searching.texi (Rx Constructs): Document.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/rx.el (rx--normalise-or-arg)
(rx--all-string-or-args): New.
(rx--translate-or): Normalise arguments first, and check for strings
in subforms.
(rx--expand-eval): Extracted from rx--translate-eval.
(rx--translate-eval): Call rx--expand-eval.
* test/lisp/emacs-lisp/rx-tests.el (rx-or, rx-def-in-or): Add tests.
* etc/NEWS: Announce.
* doc/lispref/searching.texi (Char Classes): Warn about erroneous
usage of named character classes. Suggested by Stephen Leake
<stephen_leake@stephe-leake.org>.
This argument was added for the 'or' clause in rx, but it turned out
to be a bad idea (bug#37659), and there seems to be little other use
for it.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/regexp-opt.el (regexp-opt): Remove KEEP-ORDER.
* doc/lispref/searching.texi (Regexp Functions):
* etc/NEWS: Remove it from the documentation.
* test/lisp/emacs-lisp/regexp-opt-tests.el (regexp-opt-test--match-all)
(regexp-opt-test--check-perm, regexp-opt-test--explain-perm)
(regexp-opt-keep-order, regexp-opt-longest-match): Simplify test.
* lisp/minibuffer.el (minibuffer--message-overlay-pos): New
function.
(set-minibuffer-message): Use it to determine where to show the
overlay with the temporary message.
* lisp/ido.el (ido-exhibit): Revert "Render Ido suggestions using
an overlay"; this restores the original code which inserted the
match-status information into the minibuffer, instead of
displaying it in an overlay with an after-string. Put the special
'minibuffer-message' text property at the beginning of the
inserted text. (Bug#39379)
* etc/NEWS:
* doc/lispref/display.texi (Displaying Messages):
* doc/lispref/text.texi (Special Properties): Document the
'minibuffer-message' text property and its effect.
Revert to the Emacs 26 semantics that always gave the longest match
for rx 'or' forms with only string arguments. This guarantee was
never well documented, but it is useful and people likely have come to
rely on it. For example, prior to this change,
(rx (or ">" ">="))
matched ">" even if the text contained ">=".
* lisp/emacs-lisp/rx.el (rx--translate-or): Don't tell regexp-opt to
preserve the matching order.
* doc/lispref/searching.texi (Rx Constructs): Document the
longest-match guarantee for all-string 'or' forms.
* test/lisp/emacs-lisp/rx-tests.el (rx-or): Update test.
* lisp/subr.el (add-to-ordered-list, add-to-history):
* doc/lispref/lists.texi (List Variables):
* doc/lispref/minibuf.texi (Minibuffer History):
Note in the doc string and manual that the variable arguments to
add-to-ordered-list and add-to-history cannot refer to a lexical
variable (bug#39373).
While add-to-list often works with lexical variables, this is a hack
that isn't always effective; better tell the user not to try.
* doc/lispref/lists.texi (List Variables): Add a note about lexical
variables to the add-to-list description. Fix the equivalent code.
* lisp/subr.el (add-to-list): Amend doc string.
Thanks to 57e2ca5c50 and related changes, opening brackets at the
leftmost column inside doc strings are no longer mistaken for the
start of a defun.
* doc/lispref/tips.texi (Documentation Tips): Clarify recommendation
and move it down the list.
* etc/NEWS: Announce.
* doc/lispref/numbers.texi (Integer Basics):
* doc/lispref/objects.texi (Integer Type, Equality Predicates):
Be clearer about eq vs eql vs = on bignums, floats, and strings.
* lisp/progmodes/elisp-mode.el (lisp-interaction-mode):
Set lexical-binding.
* lisp/startup.el (command-line, startup--get-buffer-create-scratch):
Don't set lexical-binding here.
* doc/lispref/variables.texi:
* etc/NEWS:
Make it clear that lisp-interaction-mode uses lexical-binding.
Occasionally, loading cl-generic.el from source requires
max_specpdl_size > 1600 when bootstrapping, and thus fails.
In any case we are very close to the limit.
* src/eval.c (init_eval_once): Raise max_specpdl_size to 1800.
* doc/lispref/variables.texi (Local Variables): Update docs.
* etc/NEWS: Rearrange and mark entries whether documented or not.
* doc/lispref/streams.texi (Output Variables): Document the new
default of 'print-quoted'.
* doc/lispref/keymaps.texi (Functions for Key Lookup): Document
that KEYMAP arg to 'lookup-key' can also be a list.
* doc/lispref/customize.texi (Variable Definitions): Document the
:local keyword of 'defcustom'.
* doc/lispref/numbers.texi (Float Basics): Document changes in
'logb'.
* doc/lispref/hooks.texi (Standard Hooks): Document
'comint-password-function'.
* doc/emacs/display.texi (Text Scale): Document text-size
adjustment using the mouse wheel.
* doc/emacs/frames.texi (Mouse Commands): Document image scaling
with the mouse wheel.
* doc/emacs/windows.texi (Window Convenience): Document
'global-tab-line-mode'.
* doc/emacs/search.texi (Repeat Isearch, Symbol Search)
(Isearch Yank): Document the new support for numeric arguments in
Isearch commands.
(Special Isearch): Document 'M-s M->' and 'M-s M-<'.
(Search Customizations): Document 'isearch-lazy-count'. Improve
indexing.
(Not Exiting Isearch): Document the new value of
'isearch-allow-scroll'.
* doc/emacs/maintaining.texi (Xref Commands): Document the new 'g'
key binding.
* doc/emacs/package.texi (Package Installation): Document changes
in 'package-check-signature'.
* doc/emacs/maintaining.texi (VC Change Log): Document
'vc-log-search'.
* doc/emacs/dired.texi (Operating on Files): Document
'dired-vc-rename'.
* doc/lispref/functions.texi (Obsolete Functions): Make
documentation of functions that obsolete symbols match the
advertised calling conventions.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/byte-run.el (define-obsolete-function-alias)
(define-obsolete-variable-alias, define-obsolete-face-alias):
State in the doc strings that WHEN is a mandatory argument, to be
consistent with the advertised calling convention. (Bug#38675)
'module-load' most likely doesn't do what users expect. Users should
use 'load' and its wrappers, which do the right thing.
* doc/lispref/loading.texi (Dynamic Modules): Document
disadvantages of 'module-load' and recommend normal 'load' and
its wrappers instead.
* doc/lispref/internals.texi (Module Functions): Recommend
'load' over 'module-load'.
This is a useful property when doing further bit-twiddling with the
magnitude array before/after calling extract_big_integer or
make_big_integer. For example, constructing an emacs_limb_t object
using repeated shift-and-add should work as expected, but relies on
the type not having padding bits. Since the C standard already
guarantees that unsigned integers use a pure binary representation,
not having padding bits is enough to guarantee that the type has
unique object representations in the sense of C++’s
std::has_unique_object_representations.
* doc/lispref/internals.texi (Module Values): Document that
emacs_limb_t doesn’t have padding bits.
* src/emacs-module.c: Verify that emacs_limb_t doesn’t have padding
bits.
* doc/lispref/display.texi (Displaying Messages): Document
set-message-function and clear-message-function.
* lisp/minibuffer.el (minibuffer-message-clear-timeout): New defcustom.
(minibuffer-message-timer, minibuffer-message-overlay): New variables.
(set-minibuffer-message, clear-minibuffer-message): New functions.
(set-message-function, clear-message-function): Set variables to
set-minibuffer-message and clear-minibuffer-message respectively.
* src/keyboard.c (read_char): Call clear_message when
Vclear_message_function is a function.
* src/xdisp.c (set_message): Call Vset_message_function when it's a function.
(clear_message): Call Vclear_message_function when it's a function.
(syms_of_xdisp): New variables set-message-function and clear-message-function
(bug#38457).
* lisp/files.el (backup-by-copying-when-privileged-mismatch): In addition
to checking the file uid, a second test is added: if the file gid is not
greater than backup-by-copying-when-privileged-mismatch,
backup-by-copying-when-mismatch will also be forced on.
* doc/emacs/files.texi, doc/lispref/backups.texi: Updated documentation.
Also fixed a typo in the Emacs reference manual, changing "higher" to
"no greater" so that the limit is no longer documented reversed.
* doc/lispref/syntax.texi (Parser State): mention parse-partial-sexp as a
function returning a parser state, and the function to which one supplies a
parser state as an argument for continued parsing.
Refine the documentation of syntax-ppss-context, and correct the text
introducing it and another function.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/regexp-opt.el (regexp-opt):
* doc/lispref/searching.texi (Regexp Functions):
Be more specific about how the KEEP-ORDER argument actually works.
If nil, the regexp guarantees a longest match; this is the behaviour
that many callers implicitly rely on.
* doc/lispref/internals.texi (Garbage Collection)
(Pure Storage):
* src/alloc.c (Fgarbage_collect): Update the documentation of
pure-space overflow for when pdumper is used. (Bug#38492)
The `not' and `intersection' forms, and `or' inside these forms,
now accept characters and single-character strings as arguments.
Previously, they had to be wrapped in `any' forms.
This does not add expressive power but is a convenience and is easily
understood.
* doc/lispref/searching.texi (Rx Constructs): Amend the documentation.
* etc/NEWS: Announce the change.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/rx.el (rx--charset-p, rx--translate-not)
(rx--charset-intervals, rx): Accept characters and 1-char strings in
more places.
* test/lisp/emacs-lisp/rx-tests.el (rx-not, rx-charset-or)
(rx-def-in-charset-or, rx-intersection): Test the change.
