Move #'sort*, #'fill, #'merge to C from cl-seq.el. lisp/ChangeLog addition: 2010-04-01 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * cl-seq.el (fill, sort*, merge): Move these functions to fns.c. (stable-sort): Make this docstring reflect the argument names used in the #'sort* docstring. * cl-macs.el (stable-sort): Make #'stable-sort exactly equivalent to #'sort* in compiled code. * bytecomp.el (byte-compile-maybe-add-*): New macro, for functions like #'sort and #'mapcar that, to be strictly compatible, should only take two args, but in our implementation can take more, because they're aliases of #'sort* and #'mapcar*. (byte-compile-mapcar, byte-compile-sort, byte-compile-fillarray): Use this new macro. (map-into): Add a byte-compile method for #'map-into in passing. * apropos.el (apropos-print): Use #'sort* with a :key argument, now it's in C. * compat.el (extent-at): Ditto. * register.el (list-registers): Ditto. * package-ui.el (pui-list-packages): Ditto. * help.el (sorted-key-descriptions): Ditto. src/ChangeLog addition: 2010-03-31 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * fns.c (STRING_DATA_TO_OBJECT_ARRAY) (BIT_VECTOR_TO_OBJECT_ARRAY, c_merge_predicate_key) (c_merge_predicate_nokey, list_merge, array_merge) (list_array_merge_into_list, list_list_merge_into_array) (list_array_merge_into_array, CHECK_KEY_ARGUMENT, Fmerge) (list_sort, array_sort, FsortX): Move #'sort*, #'fill, #'merge from cl-seq.el to C, extending the implementations of Fsort, Ffillarray, and merge() to do so. * keymap.c (keymap_submaps, map_keymap_sort_predicate) (describe_map_sort_predicate): Change the calling semantics of the C sort predicates to return a non-nil Lisp object if the first argument is less than the second, rather than C integers. * fontcolor-msw.c (sort_font_list_function): * fileio.c (build_annotations): * dired.c (Fdirectory_files): * abbrev.c (Finsert_abbrev_table_description): Call list_sort instead of Fsort, list_merge instead of merge() in these functions. man/ChangeLog addition: 2010-04-01 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * lispref/lists.texi (Rearrangement): Update the documentation of #'sort here, now that it accepts any type of sequence and the KEY keyword argument. (Though this is probably now the wrong place for this function, given that.)

This directory contains a number of XEmacs dynamic modules.  These
modules can be loaded directly with the command 'M-x load-module'.
However, the preferred method of loading a module is to issue a
"(require 'module-name)" command to the Lisp interpreter.  This will
store information so that a later "(unload-feature 'module-name)" can
succeed.

To compile one of these modules, simply enter the desired directory,
type 'configure', and then 'make'.  If you are building the module for
an installed XEmacs, then 'make install' will place the module in the
appropriate directory for XEmacs to find it later (assuming you have
permission to write to that directory).  A subsequent 'load-module' or
'require' will then load the module, as described above.

Each of these demonstrates different features and limitations of the
XEmacs module loading technology.  For a complete discussion on XEmacs
dynamic modules, please consult the XEmacs Module Writers Guide, which
can be found in the ../info directory.

For those wanting to get started with module writing, please see the
'sample' directory.  It contains two subdirectories: internal and
external.  The 'internal' subdirectory contains the framework needed to
migrate some core piece of XEmacs functionality into code that can
either be compiled into the core or built as a separate module.  The
'external' subdirectory contains the somewhat simpler framework needed
to build a module separately from XEmacs.  These should be considered
starting places for module writing.
