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.

| 428 | 1 This directory contains the source files for the C component of XEmacs. |
| 2 Nothing in this directory is needed for using XEmacs once it is built | |
| 3 and installed, if the dumped Emacs is copied elsewhere. | |
| 4 | |
| 5 See the files ../README and then ../INSTALL for installation instructions. | |
| 6 | |
| 7 Under Unix, the file `Makefile.in.in' is used as a template by the script | |
| 8 `../configure' to produce `Makefile.in'. The same script then uses `cpp' | |
| 9 to produce the machine-dependent `Makefile' from `Makefile.in'; | |
| 10 `Makefile' is the file which actually controls the compilation of | |
| 11 Emacs. Most of this should work transparently to the user; you should | |
| 12 only need to run `../configure', and then type `make'. | |
| 13 | |
| 14 General changes for XEmacs: | |
| 15 --------------------------- | |
| 16 1. Lisp objects. | |
| 17 | |
| 18 -- XFASTINT has been eliminated. Use of this expression as an lvalue | |
| 19 is incompatible with the union form of Lisp objects, and use as | |
| 20 an rvalue is likely to lead to errors and doesn't really save much | |
| 21 time. Expressions of the form `XFASTINT (obj) = num;' get replaced | |
| 22 by `obj = make_int (num);' or `XSETINT (obj, num);' and | |
| 23 expressions of the form `num = XFASTINT (obj);' get replaced by | |
| 24 `num = XINT (obj);'. Use Qzero in place of `make_int (0)'. | |
| 25 | |
| 26 -- Use of XTYPE gets replaced by the appropriate predicate. Using | |
| 27 XTYPE only works for the small number of types that are not stored | |
| 28 using the Lisp_Record type (int, cons, string, and vector). For | |
| 29 example, `(XTYPE (foo) == Lisp_Buffer)' gets replaced by | |
| 30 `(BUFFERP (foo))'. | |
| 31 | |
| 32 -- `XSET (obj, Lisp_Int, num)' gets replaced by `XSETINT (obj, num)', | |
| 33 for consistency. | |
| 34 | |
| 35 -- Some occurrences of XSET need to get replaced by XSETR -- | |
| 36 specifically, those where the type is not a primitive type | |
| 37 (primitive types are int, cons, string, and vector). | |
| 38 | |
| 39 -- References to `XSTRING (obj)->size' get replaced with | |
| 40 `XSTRING_LENGTH (obj)'. This is currently for cosmetic reasons | |
| 41 but there may be other reasons in the future. (This change is | |
| 42 currently incomplete in the source files.) | |
| 43 | |
| 44 | |
| 45 2. Storage classes: | |
| 46 | |
| 47 -- All occurrences of `register' should be replaced by `REGISTER'. | |
| 48 It interferes with backtraces so we disable it if DEBUG_XEMACS | |
| 49 is defined. | |
| 50 | |
| 51 | |
| 52 3. Errors, messages, I18N3 snarfing: | |
| 53 | |
| 54 -- Errors are continuable in XEmacs but are not in FSF Emacs. | |
| 55 Therefore, it's important that functions do something reasonable | |
| 56 if an error gets continued. If you want to signal a non- | |
| 57 continuable error, the call to Fsignal() gets put inside a | |
| 58 `while (1)' loop. To facilitate this, and also for proper I18N3 | |
| 59 message snarfing, most calls to Fsignal() have been replaced by | |
| 60 calls to signal_error(), signal_simple_error(), etc. Look at | |
| 61 eval.c for a classification of various error functions. | |
| 62 | |
| 63 -- Constant strings occurring in source files need to get wrapped | |
|

64 in a call to GETTEXT (or if inside of a call to `build_ascstring', |
| 428 | 65 change that function to `build_translated_string') if they don't |
| 66 occur in certain places where the I18N3 message snarfer will see | |
| 67 them. For a complete discussion of this, see the file | |
| 68 lib-src/make-msgfile.lex. | |
| 69 | |
| 70 NOTE: I18N3 support is not currently working, so the above may | |
| 71 or may not apply. Thus it is not a good idea to add random | |
| 72 GETTEXTs, unless you really know what you are doing. | |
| 73 | |
| 74 -- Calls to `fprintf (stderr, ...)' and `printf (...)' get replaced | |
| 75 with calls to `stderr_out' and `stdout_out'. This is for I18N3 | |
| 76 message snarfing. | |
| 77 | |
| 78 4. Initialization: | |
| 79 | |
| 80 -- FSF constructs like `obj = intern ("string"); staticpro (&obj);' | |
| 81 get replaced by `defsymbol (&obj);'. This is for code cleanness | |
| 82 and better purespace usage. | |
| 83 -- FSF constructs like | |
| 84 obj = intern ("error"); | |
| 85 Fput (obj, Qerror_message, "message"); | |
| 86 Fput (obj, Qerror_conditions, some list); | |
| 87 get replaced by calls to deferror(). See the definition of | |
| 88 deferror() for how the correct arguments to pass. This is for | |
| 89 code cleanness and I18N3 message snarfing. | |
| 90 -- Code in keys_of_foo() functions has been moved into Lisp. |
