Rename the `len', `largest' and `max' members to `len_', `largest_' and `max_' to try and catch existing places that might directly modify these values. Make new accessors Dynarr_largest() and Dynarr_max() and make them and existing Dynarr_length() be non-lvalues by adding '+ 0' to them; fix a couple of places in the redisplay code that tried to modify the length directly by setting Dynarr_length(). Use the accessors whenever possible even in the dynarr code itself. The accessors also verify that 0 <= len <= largest <= max. Rename settor function Dynarr_set_size() to Dynarr_set_length() and use it more consistently; also create lower-level Dynarr_set_length_1(). This latter function should be the only function that directly modifies the `len_' member of a Dynarr, and in the process makes sure that the `largest' value is kept correct. Consistently use ERROR_CHECK_STRUCTURES instead of ERROR_CHECK_TYPES for error-checking code. Reintroduce the temporarily disabled verification code on the positions of Dynarr_at(), Dynarr_atp() and Dynarr_atp_past_end(). Also create Dynarr_resize_if() in place of a repeated code fragment. Clean up all the functions that modify Dynarrs to use the new macros and functions and verify the correctness of the Dynarr both before and after the change. Note that there are two kinds of verification -- one for accessing and one for modifying. The difference is that the modify verification additionally checks to make sure that the Dynarr isn't locked. (This is used in redisplay to check for problems with reentrancy.) * lrecord.h: Move XD_DYNARR_DESC to lisp.h, grouping with the dynarr code.

line source

The files in this directory contain source code for the core XEmacs
facilities written in Emacs Lisp.  *.el files are Elisp source, and
*.elc files are byte-compiled versions of the corresponding *.el
files.  Byte-compiled files are architecture-independent.

Functions used only by files in this directory are considered
"internal" and are subject to change at any time.  All commands, and
most functions with docstrings, are part of the exported API.  In
particular, it is considered good style to use the Common Lisp
facilities provided in cl*.el.  (Yes, that's ambiguous.  Sorry, we
don't have a full specification of the API, as the Lispref is
chronically incomplete.  Anything described in the Lispref is part of
the API, of course.)

Libraries which implement applications and enhancements are placed in
the "packages", which are distributed separately from the core
sources.

#### Someone please update this.
#### Partially updated 2001-08-25 by sjt.  Needs more work.  Mike?

When XEmacs starts up, it adds certain directories in various
hierarchies containing Lisp libraries to `load-path' (the list of
directories to be searched when loading files).  These are: this
directory, its subdirectory ./mule (in Mule-enabled XEmacs only), the
site-lisp directory (deprecated), and all the lisp/PACKAGE
subdirectories of the xemacs-packages, mule-packages, and
site-packages hierarchies.  See setup-paths.el.

#### Is the following true or relevant any more?
bogus> Directories whose names begin with "-" or "." are not added to
bogus> the default load-path.

Some files which you might reasonably want to alter when installing or
customizing XEmacs at your site are:

	paths.el	You may need to change the default pathnames here,
			but probably not.  This is loaded before XEmacs is
			dumped.

	site-init.el	#### obsolete and removed?
			To pre-load additional libraries into XEmacs and dump
			them in the executable, load them from this file.
			Read the instructions in this file for a description
			of how to do this.

	site-load.el	#### description is obsolete
			This is like site-init.el, but if you want the 
			docstrings of your preloaded libraries to be kept in
			the DOC file instead of in the executable, you should
			load them from this file instead.  To do this, you must
			also cause them to be scanned when the DOC file is
			generated by editing ../src/Makefile.in.in and
			rerunning configure.
			#### new semantics
			This file will preload additional libraries listed in
			../site-packages and dump them into XEmacs.

	../site-packages  List of additional libraries read by site-load.el.

	site-start.el	This is loaded each time XEmacs starts up, before the
			user's .emacs file.  (Sysadmin must create.)  Can be
			inhibited for a given invocation with `--no-site-file'.

	default.el	This is loaded each time XEmacs starts up, after the
			user's .emacs file, unless .emacs sets the variable
			inhibit-default-init to t.  (Sysadmin must create.)
			Can be inhibited for a given invocation with `-q'.

	version.el	This contains the version information for XEmacs.

Original text follows:

The files in this directory contain source code for the XEmacs

*.elc files are byte-compiled versions of the corresponding *.el
files.  Byte-compiled files are architecture-independent.

#### Someone please update this.

bogus> When XEmacs starts up, it adds all subdirectories of the
bogus> site-lisp directory.  The site-lisp directory normally exists
bogus> only in installation trees.  For more information about the
bogus> site-lisp directory see the NEWS file.

bogus> After XEmacs adds all subdirectories of the site-lisp
bogus> directory, it adds all subdirectories of this directory to the
bogus> load-path (the list of directories to be searched when loading
bogus> files.)  To speed up this process, this directory has been
bogus> rearranged to have very few files at the top-level, so that
bogus> emacs doesn't have to stat() several hundred files to find the
bogus> dozen or so which are actually subdirectories.

bogus> Directories whose names begin with "-" or "." are not added to
bogus> the default load-path.

The only files which remain at top-level are those which you might
reasonably want to alter when installing or customizing XEmacs at your
site.  The files which may appear at top level are:

	paths.el	You may need to change the default pathnames here,
			but probably not.  This is loaded before XEmacs is
			dumped.

	site-init.el	To pre-load additional libraries into XEmacs and dump
			them in the executable, load them from this file.
			Read the instructions in this file for a description
			of how to do this.

	site-load.el	This is like site-init.el, but if you want the 
			docstrings of your preloaded libraries to be kept in
			the DOC file instead of in the executable, you should
			load them from this file instead.  To do this, you must
			also cause them to be scanned when the DOC file is
			generated by editing ../src/Makefile.in.in and
			rerunning configure.

	site-start.el	This is loaded each time XEmacs starts up, before the
			user's .emacs file.

	default.el	This is loaded each time XEmacs starts up, after the
			user's .emacs file, unless .emacs sets the variable
			inhibit-default-init to t.

	version.el	This contains the version information for XEmacs.
