25 Generally: be careful to say fixnum, not integer, when talking
26 about fixed-precision integral types. I'm sure I've missed
27 instances, both here and in the docstrings, but this is a decent
28 start.
29
30 * lispref/text.texi (Columns):
31 Document where only fixnums, not integers generally, are accepted.
32 (Registers):
33 Remove some ancient char-int confoundance here.
34 * lispref/strings.texi (Creating Strings, Creating Strings):
35 Be more exact in describing where fixnums but not integers in
36 general are accepted.
37 (Creating Strings): Use a more contemporary example to illustrate
38 how concat deals with lists including integers about #xFF. Delete
39 some obsolete documentation on same.
40 (Char Table Types): Document that only fixnums are accepted as
41 values in syntax tables.
42 * lispref/searching.texi (String Search, Search and Replace):
43 Be exact in describing where fixnums but not integers in general
44 are accepted.
45 * lispref/range-tables.texi (Range Tables): Be exact in describing
46 them; only fixnums are accepted to describe ranges.
47 * lispref/os.texi (Killing XEmacs, User Identification)
48 (Time of Day, Time Conversion):
49 Be more exact about using fixnum where only fixed-precision
50 integers are accepted.
51 * lispref/objects.texi (Integer Type): Be more exact (and
52 up-to-date) about the possible values for
53 integers. Cross-reference to documentation of the bignum extension.
54 (Equality Predicates):
55 (Range Table Type):
56 (Array Type): Use fixnum, not integer, to describe a
57 fixed-precision integer.
58 (Syntax Table Type): Correct some English syntax here.
59 * lispref/numbers.texi (Numbers): Change the phrasing here to use
60 fixnum to mean the fixed-precision integers normal in emacs.
61 Document that our terminology deviates from that of Common Lisp,
62 and that we're working on it.
63 (Compatibility Issues): Reiterate the Common Lisp versus Emacs
64 Lisp compatibility issues.
65 (Comparison of Numbers, Arithmetic Operations):
66 * lispref/commands.texi (Command Loop Info, Working With Events):
67 * lispref/buffers.texi (Modification Time):
68 Be more exact in describing where fixnums but not integers in
69 general are accepted.
