Move the heavy lifting from cl-seq.el to C. src/ChangeLog addition: 2010-12-30 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> Move the heavy lifting from cl-seq.el to C, finally making those functions first-class XEmacs citizens, with circularity checking, built-in support for tests other than #'eql, and as much compatibility with current Common Lisp as Paul Dietz' tests require. * fns.c (check_eq_nokey, check_eq_key, check_eql_nokey) (check_eql_key, check_equal_nokey, check_equal_key) (check_equalp_nokey, check_equalp_key, check_string_match_nokey) (check_string_match_key, check_other_nokey, check_other_key) (check_if_nokey, check_if_key, check_match_eq_key) (check_match_eql_key, check_match_equal_key) (check_match_equalp_key, check_match_other_key): New. These are basically to provide function pointers to be used by Lisp functions that take TEST, TEST-NOT and KEY arguments. (get_check_match_function_1, get_check_test_function) (get_check_match_function): These functions work out which of the previous list of functions to use, given the keywords supplied by the user. (count_with_tail): New. This is the bones of #'count. (list_count_from_end, string_count_from_end): Utility functions for #'count. (Fcount): New, moved from cl-seq.el. (list_position_cons_before): New. The implementation of #'member*, and important in implementing various other functions. (FmemberX, Fadjoin, FassocX, FrassocX, Fposition, Ffind) (FdeleteX, FremoveX, Fdelete_duplicates, Fremove_duplicates) (Fnsubstitute, Fsubstitute, Fsublis, Fnsublis, Fsubst, Fnsubst) (Ftree_equal, Fmismatch, Fsearch, Fintersection, Fnintersection) (Fsubsetp, Fset_difference, Fnset_difference, Fnunion, Funion) (Fset_exclusive_or, Fnset_exclusive_or): New, moved here from cl-seq.el. (position): New. The implementation of #'find and #'position. (list_delete_duplicates_from_end, subst, sublis, nsublis) (tree_equal, mismatch_from_end, mismatch_list_list) (mismatch_list_string, mismatch_list_array) (mismatch_string_array, mismatch_string_string) (mismatch_array_array, get_mismatch_func): Helper C functions for the Lisp-visible functions. (venn, nvenn): New. The implementation of the main Lisp functions that treat lists as sets. lisp/ChangeLog addition: 2010-12-30 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * cl-seq.el: Move the heavy lifting from this file to C. Dump the cl-parsing-keywords macro, but don't use defun* for the functions we define that do take keywords, dynamic scope lossage makes that not practical. * subr.el (sort, fillarray): Move these aliases here. (map-plist): #'nsublis is now built-in, but at this point #'eql isn't necessarily available as a test; use #'eq. * obsolete.el (cl-delete-duplicates): Make this available for old compiler macros and old code. (memql): Document that this is equivalent to #'member*, and worse. * cl.el (adjoin, subst): Removed. These are in C.

12 Most of the XEmacs text editor is written in the programming

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

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

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

20 features for scanning and parsing text as well as features for handling

cvs

21 files, buffers, displays, subprocesses, and so on. XEmacs Lisp is
3ecd8885ac67 Import from CVS: tag r21-2-22
cvs

22 closely integrated with the editing facilities; thus, editing commands

27 chapters describe features of XEmacs Lisp that have counterparts in
