EXTERNAL_TO_C_STRING returns its argument instead of storing it
in a parameter, and is renamed to EXTERNAL_TO_ITEXT. Similar
things happen to related macros. See entry in src/ChangeLog.
More Mule-izing of postgresql.c. Extract out common code
between `pq-connectdb' and `pq-connect-start'. Fix places
that signal an error string using a formatted string to instead
follow the standard and have a fixed reason followed by the
particular error message stored as one of the frobs.

Changes involving external/internal format conversion,
mostly code cleanup and renaming.
1. Eliminate the previous macros like LISP_STRING_TO_EXTERNAL
that stored its result in a parameter. The new version of
LISP_STRING_TO_EXTERNAL returns its result through the
return value, same as the previous NEW_LISP_STRING_TO_EXTERNAL.
Use the new-style macros throughout the code.
2. Rename C_STRING_TO_EXTERNAL and friends to ITEXT_TO_EXTERNAL,
in keeping with overall naming rationalization involving
Itext and related types.
Macros involved in previous two:
EXTERNAL_TO_C_STRING -> EXTERNAL_TO_ITEXT
EXTERNAL_TO_C_STRING_MALLOC -> EXTERNAL_TO_ITEXT_MALLOC
SIZED_EXTERNAL_TO_C_STRING -> SIZED_EXTERNAL_TO_ITEXT
SIZED_EXTERNAL_TO_C_STRING_MALLOC -> SIZED_EXTERNAL_TO_ITEXT_MALLOC
C_STRING_TO_EXTERNAL -> ITEXT_TO_EXTERNAL
C_STRING_TO_EXTERNAL_MALLOC -> ITEXT_TO_EXTERNAL_MALLOC
LISP_STRING_TO_EXTERNAL
LISP_STRING_TO_EXTERNAL_MALLOC
LISP_STRING_TO_TSTR
C_STRING_TO_TSTR -> ITEXT_TO_TSTR
TSTR_TO_C_STRING -> TSTR_TO_ITEXT
The following four still return their values through parameters,
since they have more than one value to return:
C_STRING_TO_SIZED_EXTERNAL -> ITEXT_TO_SIZED_EXTERNAL
LISP_STRING_TO_SIZED_EXTERNAL
C_STRING_TO_SIZED_EXTERNAL_MALLOC -> ITEXT_TO_SIZED_EXTERNAL_MALLOC
LISP_STRING_TO_SIZED_EXTERNAL_MALLOC
Sometimes additional casts had to be inserted, since the old
macros played strange games and completely defeated the type system
of the store params.
3. Rewrite many places where direct calls to TO_EXTERNAL_FORMAT
occurred with calls to one of the convenience macros listed above,
or to make_extstring().
4. Eliminate SIZED_C_STRING macros (they were hardly used, anyway)
and use a direct call to TO_EXTERNAL_FORMAT or TO_INTERNAL_FORMAT.
4. Use LISP_PATHNAME_CONVERT_OUT in many places instead of something
like LISP_STRING_TO_EXTERNAL(..., Qfile_name).
5. Eliminate some temporary variables that are no longer necessary
now that we return a value rather than storing it into a variable.
6. Some Mule-izing in database.c.
7. Error functions:
-- A bit of code cleanup in maybe_signal_error_1.
-- Eliminate report_file_type_error; it's just an alias for
signal_error_2 with params in a different order.
-- Fix some places in the hostname-handling code that directly
inserted externally-retrieved error strings into the
supposed ASCII "reason" param instead of doing the right thing
and sticking text descriptive of what was going on in "reason"
and putting the external message in a frob.
8. Use Ascbyte instead of CIbyte in process-unix.c and maybe one
or two other places.
9. Some code cleanup in copy_in_passwd() in sysdep.c.
10. Fix a real bug due to accidental variable shadowing in
tstr_to_local_file_format() in win32.c.

| 3 @chapter Undoing Changes | |
| 4 @cindex undo | |
| 5 @cindex mistakes, correcting | |
| 6 | |
| 7 Emacs allows you to undo all changes you make to the text of a buffer, | |
| 8 up to a certain amount of change (8000 characters). Each buffer records | |
| 9 changes individually, and the undo command always applies to the | |
| 10 current buffer. Usually each editing command makes a separate entry | |
| 11 in the undo records, but some commands such as @code{query-replace} | |
| 12 make many entries, and very simple commands such as self-inserting | |
| 13 characters are often grouped to make undoing less tedious. | |
| 14 | |
| 15 @table @kbd | |
| 16 @item C-x u | |
| 17 Undo one batch of changes (usually, one command's worth) (@code{undo}). | |
| 18 @item C-_ | |
| 19 The same. | |
| 20 @end table | |
| 21 | |
| 22 @kindex C-x u | |
| 23 @kindex C-_ | |
| 24 @findex undo | |
| 25 The command @kbd{C-x u} or @kbd{C-_} allows you to undo changes. The | |
| 26 first time you give this command, it undoes the last change. Point | |
| 27 moves to the text affected by the undo, so you can see what was undone. | |
| 28 | |
| 29 Consecutive repetitions of the @kbd{C-_} or @kbd{C-x u} commands undo | |
| 30 earlier and earlier changes, back to the limit of what has been | |
| 31 recorded. If all recorded changes have already been undone, the undo | |
| 32 command prints an error message and does nothing. | |
| 33 | |
| 34 Any command other than an undo command breaks the sequence of undo | |
| 35 commands. Starting at this moment, the previous undo commands are | |
| 36 considered ordinary changes that can themselves be undone. Thus, you can | |
| 37 redo changes you have undone by typing @kbd{C-f} or any other command | |
| 38 that have no important effect, and then using more undo commands. | |
| 39 | |
| 40 If you notice that a buffer has been modified accidentally, the | |
| 41 easiest way to recover is to type @kbd{C-_} repeatedly until the stars | |
| 42 disappear from the front of the mode line. When that happens, all the | |
| 43 modifications you made have been canceled. If you do not remember | |
| 44 whether you changed the buffer deliberately, type @kbd{C-_} once. When | |
| 45 you see Emacs undo the last change you made, you probably remember why you | |
| 46 made it. If the change was an accident, leave it undone. If it was | |
| 47 deliberate, redo the change as described in the preceding paragraph. | |
| 48 | |
| 49 Whenever an undo command makes the stars disappear from the mode line, | |
| 50 the buffer contents is the same as it was when the file was last read in | |
| 51 or saved. | |
| 52 | |
| 53 Not all buffers record undo information. Buffers whose names start with | |
| 54 spaces don't; these buffers are used internally by Emacs and its extensions | |
| 55 to hold text that users don't normally look at or edit. Minibuffers, | |
| 56 help buffers, and documentation buffers also don't record undo information. | |
| 57 | |
| 58 Emacs can remember at most 8000 or so characters of deleted or | |
| 59 modified text in any one buffer for reinsertion by the undo command. | |
| 60 There is also a limit on the number of individual insert, delete, or | |
| 61 change actions that Emacs can remember. | |
| 62 | |
| 63 There are two keys to run the @code{undo} command, @kbd{C-x u} and | |
| 64 @kbd{C-_}, because on some keyboards, it is not obvious how to type | |
| 65 @kbd{C-_}. @kbd{C-x u} is an alternative you can type in the same | |
| 66 fashion on any terminal. |
