Make `defvaralias` signal an error upon attempts to create variable alias cycles. This detects errors earlier and makes the alias traversal during execution simpler and faster since no cycle detection is needed elsewhere. Now variable and function aliases are handled identically in these respects. * src/lisp.h (indirect_variable): Remove declaration. * src/data.c (indirect_variable): Remove. (Findirect_variable): Update doc string. Simplify alias resolution. (Fboundp, find_symbol_value, set_internal, default_value) (set_default_internal, Fmake_variable_buffer_local) (Fmake_local_variable, Fkill_local_variable, Flocal_variable_p) (Flocal_variable_if_set_p, Fvariable_binding_locus): * src/buffer.c (buffer_local_value): * src/eval.c (specbind): Simplify variable alias resolution. (Fdefvaralias): Update doc string. Check for cycles. * doc/lispref/variables.texi (Variable Aliases): Mention that `defvaralias` can signal `cyclic-variable-indirection` but `indirect-variable` cannot. * etc/NEWS: Announce the change. * test/src/eval-tests.el (eval-tests-defvaralias): New test. |
