put back patch to get more informative staticpro debugging -------------------- ChangeLog entries follow: -------------------- src/ChangeLog addition: 2010-02-04 Ben Wing <ben@xemacs.org> * symbols.c (defsymbol_massage_name_1): * symbols.c (defsymbol_nodump): * symbols.c (defsymbol): * symbols.c (defkeyword): * symeval.h (DEFVAR_SYMVAL_FWD_OBJECT): Put this back again: Make the various calls to staticpro() instead call staticpro_1(), passing in the name of the C var being staticpro'ed, so that it shows up in staticpro_names. Otherwise staticpro_names just has 1000+ copies of the word `location'.
