Overall point of this change and previous ones in this repository:
(1) Introduce new, clearer terminology: everything other than int
or char is a "record" object, which comes in two types: "normal
objects" and "frob-block objects". Fix up all places that
referred to frob-block objects as "simple", "basic", etc.
(2) Provide an advertised interface for doing operations on Lisp
objects, including creating new types, that is clean and
consistent in its naming, uses the above-referenced terms and
avoids referencing "lrecords", "old lcrecords", etc., which should
hide under the surface.
(3) Make the size_in_bytes and finalizer methods take a
Lisp_Object rather than a void * for consistency with other methods.
(4) Separate finalizer method into finalizer and disksaver, so
that normal finalize methods don't have to worry about disksaving.
Other specifics:
(1) Renaming:
LISP_OBJECT_HEADER -> NORMAL_LISP_OBJECT_HEADER
ALLOC_LISP_OBJECT -> ALLOC_NORMAL_LISP_OBJECT
implementation->basic_p -> implementation->frob_block_p
ALLOCATE_FIXED_TYPE_AND_SET_IMPL -> ALLOC_FROB_BLOCK_LISP_OBJECT
*FCCONFIG*, wrap_fcconfig -> *FC_CONFIG*, wrap_fc_config
*FCPATTERN*, wrap_fcpattern -> *FC_PATTERN*, wrap_fc_pattern
(the last two changes make the naming of these macros consistent
with the naming of all other macros, since the objects are named
fc-config and fc-pattern with a hyphen)
(2) Lots of documentation fixes in lrecord.h.
(3) Eliminate macros for copying, freeing, zeroing objects, getting
their storage size. Instead, new functions:
zero_sized_lisp_object()
zero_nonsized_lisp_object()
lisp_object_storage_size()
free_normal_lisp_object()
(copy_lisp_object() already exists)
LISP_OBJECT_FROB_BLOCK_P() (actually a macro)
Eliminated:
free_lrecord()
zero_lrecord()
copy_lrecord()
copy_sized_lrecord()
old_copy_lcrecord()
old_copy_sized_lcrecord()
old_zero_lcrecord()
old_zero_sized_lcrecord()
LISP_OBJECT_STORAGE_SIZE()
COPY_SIZED_LISP_OBJECT()
COPY_SIZED_LCRECORD()
COPY_LISP_OBJECT()
ZERO_LISP_OBJECT()
FREE_LISP_OBJECT()
(4) Catch the remaining places where lrecord stuff was used directly
and use the advertised interface, e.g. alloc_sized_lrecord() ->
ALLOC_SIZED_LISP_OBJECT().
(5) Make certain statically-declared pseudo-objects
(buffer_local_flags, console_local_flags) have their lheader
initialized correctly, so things like copy_lisp_object() can work
on them. Make extent_auxiliary_defaults a proper heap object
Vextent_auxiliary_defaults, and make extent auxiliaries dumpable
so that this object can be dumped. allocate_extent_auxiliary()
now just creates the object, and attach_extent_auxiliary()
creates an extent auxiliary and attaches to an extent, like the
old allocate_extent_auxiliary().
(6) Create EXTENT_AUXILIARY_SLOTS macro, similar to the foo-slots.h
files but in a macro instead of a file. The purpose is to avoid
duplication when iterating over all the slots in an extent auxiliary.
Use it.
(7) In lstream.c, don't zero out object after allocation because
allocation routines take care of this.
(8) In marker.c, fix a mistake in computing marker overhead.
(9) In print.c, clean up printing_unreadable_lcrecord(),
external_object_printer() to avoid lots of ifdef NEW_GC's.
(10) Separate toolbar-button allocation into a separate
allocate_toolbar_button() function for use in the example code
in lrecord.h.

rev | line source |
---|---|
652 | 1 The files in this directory contain source code for the core XEmacs |
2 facilities written in Emacs Lisp. *.el files are Elisp source, and | |
3 *.elc files are byte-compiled versions of the corresponding *.el | |
4 files. Byte-compiled files are architecture-independent. | |
5 | |
6 Functions used only by files in this directory are considered | |
7 "internal" and are subject to change at any time. All commands, and | |
8 most functions with docstrings, are part of the exported API. In | |
9 particular, it is considered good style to use the Common Lisp | |
10 facilities provided in cl*.el. (Yes, that's ambiguous. Sorry, we | |
11 don't have a full specification of the API, as the Lispref is | |
12 chronically incomplete. Anything described in the Lispref is part of | |
13 the API, of course.) | |
14 | |
15 Libraries which implement applications and enhancements are placed in | |
16 the "packages", which are distributed separately from the core | |
17 sources. | |
18 | |
19 #### Someone please update this. | |
20 #### Partially updated 2001-08-25 by sjt. Needs more work. Mike? | |
21 | |
22 When XEmacs starts up, it adds certain directories in various | |
23 hierarchies containing Lisp libraries to `load-path' (the list of | |
24 directories to be searched when loading files). These are: this | |
25 directory, its subdirectory ./mule (in Mule-enabled XEmacs only), the | |
26 site-lisp directory (deprecated), and all the lisp/PACKAGE | |
27 subdirectories of the xemacs-packages, mule-packages, and | |
28 site-packages hierarchies. See setup-paths.el. | |
29 | |
30 #### Is the following true or relevant any more? | |
31 bogus> Directories whose names begin with "-" or "." are not added to | |
32 bogus> the default load-path. | |
33 | |
34 Some files which you might reasonably want to alter when installing or | |
35 customizing XEmacs at your site are: | |
36 | |
37 paths.el You may need to change the default pathnames here, | |
38 but probably not. This is loaded before XEmacs is | |
39 dumped. | |
40 | |
41 site-init.el #### obsolete and removed? | |
42 To pre-load additional libraries into XEmacs and dump | |
43 them in the executable, load them from this file. | |
44 Read the instructions in this file for a description | |
45 of how to do this. | |
46 | |
47 site-load.el #### description is obsolete | |
48 This is like site-init.el, but if you want the | |
49 docstrings of your preloaded libraries to be kept in | |
50 the DOC file instead of in the executable, you should | |
51 load them from this file instead. To do this, you must | |
52 also cause them to be scanned when the DOC file is | |
53 generated by editing ../src/Makefile.in.in and | |
54 rerunning configure. | |
55 #### new semantics | |
56 This file will preload additional libraries listed in | |
57 ../site-packages and dump them into XEmacs. | |
58 | |
59 ../site-packages List of additional libraries read by site-load.el. | |
60 | |
61 site-start.el This is loaded each time XEmacs starts up, before the | |
62 user's .emacs file. (Sysadmin must create.) Can be | |
63 inhibited for a given invocation with `--no-site-file'. | |
64 | |
65 default.el This is loaded each time XEmacs starts up, after the | |
66 user's .emacs file, unless .emacs sets the variable | |
67 inhibit-default-init to t. (Sysadmin must create.) | |
68 Can be inhibited for a given invocation with `-q'. | |
69 | |
70 version.el This contains the version information for XEmacs. | |

73 Original text follows: | |
74 | |
428 | 75 The files in this directory contain source code for the XEmacs |
76 facilities written in Emacs Lisp. *.el files are Elisp source, and | |
77 *.elc files are byte-compiled versions of the corresponding *.el | |
78 files. Byte-compiled files are architecture-independent. | |

81 | |
82 bogus> When XEmacs starts up, it adds all subdirectories of the | |
83 bogus> site-lisp directory. The site-lisp directory normally exists | |
84 bogus> only in installation trees. For more information about the | |
85 bogus> site-lisp directory see the NEWS file. | |
86 | |
87 bogus> After XEmacs adds all subdirectories of the site-lisp | |
88 bogus> directory, it adds all subdirectories of this directory to the | |
89 bogus> load-path (the list of directories to be searched when loading | |
90 bogus> files.) To speed up this process, this directory has been | |
91 bogus> rearranged to have very few files at the top-level, so that | |
92 bogus> emacs doesn't have to stat() several hundred files to find the | |
93 bogus> dozen or so which are actually subdirectories. | |
94 | |
95 bogus> Directories whose names begin with "-" or "." are not added to | |
96 bogus> the default load-path. | |
97 | |
98 The only files which remain at top-level are those which you might | |
99 reasonably want to alter when installing or customizing XEmacs at your | |
100 site. The files which may appear at top level are: | |
101 | |
102 paths.el You may need to change the default pathnames here, | |
103 but probably not. This is loaded before XEmacs is | |
104 dumped. | |
