Avoid confusion about ELC vs. source file encoding, #'load, #'load-internal.
lisp/ChangeLog addition:
2015-06-03 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net>
* code-files.el (load):
Revise this to respect load-ignore-out-of-date-elc-files, rather
than leaving that to #'load-internal. Avoids a corner case where
the source and the compiled file have different, incompatible
encodings.
Move the call to #'substitute-in-file-name here.
No longer check for a zero-length filename, since #'load-internal
no longer chokes on same and errors correctly.
src/ChangeLog addition:
2015-06-03 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net>
* lread.c (Fload_internal):
Delegate calling the handler and #'substitute-in-file-name to #'load.
Error correctly with a zero-length file name, instead of giving a
bus error on my machine.
Delegate the check for out-of-date ELC files to #'load,
avoiding a bug where the encoding of the ELC file and the source
file differed.
* lread.c (PRINT_LOADING_MESSAGE_1):
This is simplified, now we no longer have to talk about
out-of-date ELC files.
tests/ChangeLog addition:
2015-06-03 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net>
* automated/file-tests.el:
Gross sanity check for #'load and #'load-internal with a
zero-length FILE, something that crashed until today.

-*- Text -*- This is the file .../info/dir, which contains the topmost node of the Info hierarchy. The first time you invoke Info you start off looking at that node, which is (dir)Top. Rather than adding new nodes to this directory (and this file) it is a better idea to put them in a site-local directory, and then configure info to search in that directory as well. That way, you won't have to re-edit this file when a new release of the editor comes out. For example, you could add this code to .../lisp/site-start.el, which is loaded before ~/.emacs each time the editor starts up: ;; find local info nodes (setq Info-directory-list (append Info-directory-list '("/private/info/"))) Then, when you enter info, a dir file like this one will be automatically created and saved (provided you have write access to the directory). The contents of that file "/private/info/dir" will be appended to the contents of this file. File: dir Node: Top This is the top of the INFO tree This is Info, the online documentation browsing system. This page (the Directory node) gives a menu of major topics. button2 on a highlighted word follows that cross-reference. button3 anywhere brings up a menu of commands. ? lists additional keyboard commands. h invokes the Info tutorial. * Menu: XEmacs 21.5 =========== * XEmacs: (xemacs).
