Use parse_integer() in read_atom(); support bases with ratios like integers src/ChangeLog addition: 2015-05-08 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * data.c (init_errors_once_early): Move the Qunsupported_type here from numbers.c, so it's available when the majority of our types are not supported. * general-slots.h: Add it here, too. * number.c: Remove the definition of Qunsupported_type from here. * lread.c (read_atom): Check if the first character could reflect a rational, if so, call parse_integer(), don't check the syntax of the other characters. This allows us to accept the non-ASCII digit characters too. If that worked partially, but not completely, and the next char is a slash, try to parse as a ratio. If that fails, try isfloat_string(), but only if the first character could plausibly be part of a float. Otherwise, treat as a symbol. * lread.c (read_rational): Rename from read_integer. Handle ratios with the same radix specification as was used for integers. * lread.c (read1): Rename read_integer in this function. Support the Common Lisp #NNNrMMM syntax for parsing a number MMM of arbitrary radix NNN. man/ChangeLog addition: 2015-05-08 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * lispref/numbers.texi (Numbers): Describe the newly-supported arbitrary-base syntax for rationals (integers and ratios). Describe that ratios can take the same base specification as integers, something also new. tests/ChangeLog addition: 2015-05-08 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * automated/lisp-reader-tests.el: Check the arbitrary-base integer reader syntax support, just added. Check the reader base support for ratios, just added. Check the non-ASCII-digit support in the reader, just added.

12 Most of the XEmacs text editor is written in the programming
3ecd8885ac67 Import from CVS: tag r21-2-22
cvs
parents:

13 language called XEmacs Lisp. You can write new code in XEmacs Lisp and
3ecd8885ac67 Import from CVS: tag r21-2-22
cvs
parents:

14 install it as an extension to the editor. However, XEmacs Lisp is more
3ecd8885ac67 Import from CVS: tag r21-2-22
cvs
parents:

15 than a mere ``extension language''; it is a full computer programming

16 language in its own right. You can use it as you would any other

19 Because XEmacs Lisp is designed for use in an editor, it has special
3ecd8885ac67 Import from CVS: tag r21-2-22
cvs
parents:

20 features for scanning and parsing text as well as features for handling
3ecd8885ac67 Import from CVS: tag r21-2-22
cvs
parents:
diff changeset
21 files, buffers, displays, subprocesses, and so on. XEmacs Lisp is
3ecd8885ac67 Import from CVS: tag r21-2-22
cvs
parents:
diff changeset
22 closely integrated with the editing facilities; thus, editing commands
3ecd8885ac67 Import from CVS: tag r21-2-22

23 are functions that can also conveniently be called from Lisp programs,
3ecd8885ac67 Import from CVS: tag r21-2-22

26 This manual describes XEmacs Lisp. Generally speaking, the earlier

27 chapters describe features of XEmacs Lisp that have counterparts in

28 many programming languages, and later chapters describe features that
3ecd8885ac67 Import from CVS: tag r21-2-22
cvs

29 are peculiar to XEmacs Lisp or relate specifically to editing.
