Improve the lexical scoping in #'block, #'return-from. lisp/ChangeLog addition: 2011-02-07 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * bytecomp.el: * bytecomp.el (byte-compile-initial-macro-environment): Shadow `block', `return-from' here, we implement them differently when byte-compiling. * bytecomp.el (byte-compile-active-blocks): New. * bytecomp.el (byte-compile-block-1): New. * bytecomp.el (byte-compile-return-from-1): New. * bytecomp.el (return-from-1): New. * bytecomp.el (block-1): New. These are two aliases that exist to have their own associated byte-compile functions, which functions implement `block' and `return-from'. * cl-extra.el (cl-macroexpand-all): Fix a bug here when macros in the environment have been compiled. * cl-macs.el (block): * cl-macs.el (return): * cl-macs.el (return-from): Be more careful about lexical scope in these macros. * cl.el: * cl.el ('cl-block-wrapper): Removed. * cl.el ('cl-block-throw): Removed. These aren't needed in code generated by this XEmacs. They shouldn't be needed in code generated by XEmacs 21.4, but if it turns out the packages do need them, we can put them back. 2011-01-30 Mike Sperber <mike@xemacs.org> * font-lock.el (font-lock-fontify-pending-extents): Don't fail if `font-lock-mode' is unset, which can happen in the middle of `revert-buffer'. 2011-01-23 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * cl-macs.el (delete): * cl-macs.el (delq): * cl-macs.el (remove): * cl-macs.el (remq): Don't use the compiler macro if these functions were given the wrong number of arguments, as happens in lisp-tests.el. * cl-seq.el (remove, remq): Removed. I added these to subr.el, and forgot to remove them from here. 2011-01-22 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * bytecomp.el (byte-compile-setq, byte-compile-set): Remove kludge allowing keywords' values to be set, all the code that does that is gone. * cl-compat.el (elt-satisfies-test-p): * faces.el (set-face-parent): * faces.el (face-doc-string): * gtk-font-menu.el: * gtk-font-menu.el (gtk-reset-device-font-menus): * msw-font-menu.el: * msw-font-menu.el (mswindows-reset-device-font-menus): * package-get.el (package-get-installedp): * select.el (select-convert-from-image-data): * sound.el: * sound.el (load-sound-file): * x-font-menu.el (x-reset-device-font-menus-core): Don't quote keywords, they're self-quoting, and the win from backward-compatibility is sufficiently small now that the style problem overrides it. 2011-01-22 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * cl-macs.el (block, return-from): Require that NAME be a symbol in these macros, as always documented in the #'block docstring and as required by Common Lisp. * descr-text.el (unidata-initialize-unihan-database): Correct the use of non-symbols in #'block and #'return-from in this function. 2011-01-15 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * cl-extra.el (concatenate): Accept more complicated TYPEs in this function, handing the sequences over to #'coerce if we don't understand them here. * cl-macs.el (inline): Don't proclaim #'concatenate as inline, its compiler macro is more useful than doing that. 2011-01-11 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * subr.el (delete, delq, remove, remq): Move #'remove, #'remq here, they don't belong in cl-seq.el; move #'delete, #'delq here from fns.c, implement them in terms of #'delete*, allowing support for sequences generally. * update-elc.el (do-autoload-commands): Use #'delete*, not #'delq here, now the latter's no longer dumped. * cl-macs.el (delete, delq): Add compiler macros transforming #'delete and #'delq to #'delete* calls. 2011-01-10 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * dialog.el (make-dialog-box): Correct a misplaced parenthesis here, thank you Mats Lidell in 87zkr9gqrh.fsf@mail.contactor.se ! 2011-01-02 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * dialog.el (make-dialog-box): * list-mode.el (display-completion-list): These functions used to use cl-parsing-keywords; change them to use defun* instead, fixing the build. (Not sure what led to me not including this change in d1b17a33450b!) 2011-01-02 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * cl-macs.el (define-star-compiler-macros): Make sure the form has ITEM and LIST specified before attempting to change to calls with explicit tests; necessary for some tests in lisp-tests.el to compile correctly. (stable-union, stable-intersection): Add compiler macros for these functions, in the same way we do for most of the other functions in cl-seq.el. 2011-01-01 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * cl-macs.el (dolist, dotimes, do-symbols, macrolet) (symbol-macrolet): Define these macros with defmacro* instead of parsing the argument list by hand, for the sake of style and readability; use backquote where appropriate, instead of calling #'list and and friends, for the same reason. 2010-12-30 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * x-misc.el (device-x-display): Provide this function, documented in the Lispref for years, but not existing previously. Thank you Julian Bradfield, thank you Jeff Mincy. 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. 2010-12-30 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * simple.el (assoc-ignore-case): Remove a duplicate definition of this function (it's already in subr.el). * iso8859-1.el (char-width): On non-Mule, make this function equivalent to that produced by (constantly 1), but preserve its docstring. * subr.el (subst-char-in-string): Define this in terms of #'substitute, #'nsubstitute. (string-width): Define this using #'reduce and #'char-width. (char-width): Give this a simpler definition, it makes far more sense to check for mule at load time and redefine, as we do in iso8859-1.el. (store-substring): Implement this in terms of #'replace, now #'replace is cheap. 2010-12-30 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * update-elc.el (lisp-files-needed-for-byte-compilation) (lisp-files-needing-early-byte-compilation): cl-macs belongs in the former, not the latter, it is as fundamental as bytecomp.el. 2010-12-30 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * cl.el: Provde the Common Lisp program-error, type-error as error symbols. This doesn't nearly go far enough for anyone using the Common Lisp errors. 2010-12-29 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * cl-macs.el (delete-duplicates): If the form has an incorrect number of arguments, don't attempt a compiler macroexpansion. 2010-12-29 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * cl-macs.el (cl-safe-expr-p): Forms that start with the symbol lambda are also safe. 2010-12-29 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * cl-macs.el (= < > <= >=): For these functions' compiler macros, the optimisation is safe even if the first and the last arguments have side effects, since they're only used the once. 2010-12-29 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * cl-macs.el (inline-side-effect-free-compiler-macros): Unroll a loop here at macro-expansion time, so these compiler macros are compiled. Use #'eql instead of #'eq in a couple of places for better style. 2010-12-29 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * cl-extra.el (notany, notevery): Avoid some dynamic scope stupidity with local variable names in these functions, when they weren't prefixed with cl-; go into some more detail in the doc strings. 2010-12-29 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * byte-optimize.el (side-effect-free-fns): #'remove, #'remq are free of side-effects. (side-effect-and-error-free-fns): Drop dot, dot-marker from the list. 2010-11-17 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * cl-extra.el (coerce): In the argument list, name the first argument OBJECT, not X; the former name was always used in the doc string and is clearer. Handle vector type specifications which include the length of the target sequence, error if there's a mismatch. * cl-macs.el (cl-make-type-test): Handle type specifications starting with the symbol 'eql. 2010-11-14 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * cl-macs.el (eql): Don't remove the byte-compile property of this symbol. That was necessary to override a bug in bytecomp.el where #'eql was confused with #'eq, which bug we no longer have. If neither expression is constant, don't attempt to handle the expression in this compiler macro, leave it to byte-compile-eql, which produces better code anyway. * bytecomp.el (eq): #'eql is not the function associated with the byte-eq byte code. (byte-compile-eql): Add an explicit compile method for this function, for cases where the cl-macs compiler macro hasn't reduced it to #'eq or #'equal. 2010-10-25 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> Add compiler macros and compilation sanity-checking for various functions that take keywords. * byte-optimize.el (side-effect-free-fns): #'symbol-value is side-effect free and not error free. * bytecomp.el (byte-compile-normal-call): Check keyword argument lists for sanity; store information about the positions where keyword arguments start using the new byte-compile-keyword-start property. * cl-macs.el (cl-const-expr-val): Take a new optional argument, cl-not-constant, defaulting to nil, in this function; return it if the expression is not constant. (cl-non-fixnum-number-p): Make this into a separate function, we want to pass it to #'every. (eql): Use it. (define-star-compiler-macros): Use the same code to generate the member*, assoc* and rassoc* compiler macros; special-case some code in #'add-to-list in subr.el. (remove, remq): Add compiler macros for these two functions, in preparation for #'remove being in C. (define-foo-if-compiler-macros): Transform (remove-if-not ...) calls to (remove ... :if-not) at compile time, which will be a real win once the latter is in C. (define-substitute-if-compiler-macros) (define-subst-if-compiler-macros): Similarly for these functions. (delete-duplicates): Change this compiler macro to use #'plists-equal; if we don't have information about the type of SEQUENCE at compile time, don't bother attempting to inline the call, the function will be in C soon enough. (equalp): Remove an old commented-out compiler macro for this, if we want to see it it's in version control. (subst-char-in-string): Transform this to a call to nsubstitute or nsubstitute, if that is appropriate. * cl.el (ldiff): Don't call setf here, this makes for a load-time dependency problem in cl-macs.el 2010-06-14 Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> * term/vt100.el: Refer to XEmacs, not GNU Emacs, in permissions. * term/bg-mouse.el: * term/sup-mouse.el: Put copyright notice in canonical "Copyright DATE AUTHOR" form. Refer to XEmacs, not GNU Emacs, in permissions. * site-load.el: Add permission boilerplate. * mule/canna-leim.el: * alist.el: Refer to XEmacs, not APEL/this program, in permissions. * mule/canna-leim.el: Remove my copyright, I've assigned it to the FSF. 2010-06-14 Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> * gtk.el: * gtk-widget-accessors.el: * gtk-package.el: * gtk-marshal.el: * gtk-compose.el: * gnome.el: Add copyright notice based on internal evidence. 2010-06-14 Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> * easymenu.el: Add reference to COPYING to permission notice. * gutter.el: * gutter-items.el: * menubar-items.el: Fix typo "Xmacs" in permissions notice. 2010-06-14 Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> * auto-save.el: * font.el: * fontconfig.el: * mule/kinsoku.el: Add "part of XEmacs" text to permission notice. 2010-10-14 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * byte-optimize.el (side-effect-free-fns): * cl-macs.el (remf, getf): * cl-extra.el (tailp, cl-set-getf, cl-do-remf): * cl.el (ldiff, endp): Tighten up Common Lisp compatibility for #'ldiff, #'endp, #'tailp; add circularity checking for the first two. #'cl-set-getf and #'cl-do-remf were Lisp implementations of #'plist-put and #'plist-remprop; change the names to aliases, changes the macros that use them to using #'plist-put and #'plist-remprop directly. 2010-10-12 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * abbrev.el (fundamental-mode-abbrev-table, global-abbrev-table): Create both these abbrev tables using the usual #'define-abbrev-table calls, rather than attempting to special-case them. * cl-extra.el: Force cl-macs to be loaded here, if cl-extra.el is being loaded interpreted. Previously other, later files would redundantly call (load "cl-macs") when interpreted, it's more reasonable to do it here, once. * cmdloop.el (read-quoted-char-radix): Use defcustom here, we don't have any dump-order dependencies that would prevent that. * custom.el (eval-when-compile): Don't load cl-macs when interpreted or when byte-compiling, rely on cl-extra.el in the former case and the appropriate entry in bytecomp-load-hook in the latter. Get rid of custom-declare-variable-list, we have no dump-time dependencies that would require it. * faces.el (eval-when-compile): Don't load cl-macs when interpreted or when byte-compiling. * packages.el: Remove some inaccurate comments. * post-gc.el (cleanup-simple-finalizers): Use #'delete-if-not here, now the order of preloaded-file-list has been changed to make it available. * subr.el (custom-declare-variable-list): Remove. No need for it. Also remove a stub define-abbrev-table from this file, given the current order of preloaded-file-list there's no need for it. 2010-10-10 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * bytecomp.el (byte-compile-constp) Forms quoted with FUNCTION are also constant. (byte-compile-initial-macro-environment): In #'the, if FORM is constant and does not match TYPE, warn at byte-compile time. 2010-10-10 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * backquote.el (bq-vector-contents, bq-list*): Remove; the former is equivalent to (append VECTOR nil), the latter to (list* ...). (bq-process-2): Use (append VECTOR nil) instead of using #'bq-vector-contents to convert to a list. (bq-process-1): Now we use list* instead of bq-list * subr.el (list*): Moved from cl.el, since it is now required to be available the first time a backquoted form is encountered. * cl.el (list*): Move to subr.el. 2010-09-16 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * test-harness.el (Check-Message): Add an omitted comma here, thank you the buildbot. 2010-09-16 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * hash-table.el (hash-table-key-list, hash-table-value-list) (hash-table-key-value-alist, hash-table-key-value-plist): Remove some useless #'nreverse calls in these files; our hash tables have no order, it's not helpful to pretend they do. * behavior.el (read-behavior): Do the same in this file, in some code evidently copied from hash-table.el. 2010-09-16 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * info.el (Info-insert-dir): * format.el (format-deannotate-region): * files.el (cd, save-buffers-kill-emacs): Use #'some, #'every and related functions for applying boolean operations to lists, instead of rolling our own ones that cons and don't short-circuit. 2010-09-16 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * bytecomp.el (byte-compile-initial-macro-environment): * cl-macs.el (the): Rephrase the docstring, make its implementation when compiling files a little nicer. 2010-09-16 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * descr-text.el (unidata-initialize-unicodedata-database) (unidata-initialize-unihan-database, describe-char-unicode-data) (describe-char-unicode-data): Wrap calls to the database functions with (with-fboundp ...), avoiding byte compile warnings on builds without support for the database functions. (describe-char): (reduce #'max ...), not (apply #'max ...), no need to cons needlessly. (describe-char): Remove a redundant lambda wrapping #'extent-properties. (describe-char-unicode-data): Call #'nsubst when replacing "" with nil in the result of #'split-string, instead of consing inside mapcar. 2010-09-16 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * x-faces.el (x-available-font-sizes): * specifier.el (let-specifier): * package-ui.el (pui-add-required-packages): * msw-faces.el (mswindows-available-font-sizes): * modeline.el (modeline-minor-mode-menu): * minibuf.el (minibuf-directory-files): Replace the O2N (delq nil (mapcar (lambda (W) (and X Y)) Z)) with the ON (mapcan (lambda (W) (and X (list Y))) Z) in these files. 2010-09-16 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * cl-macs.el (= < > <= >=): When these functions are handed more than two arguments, and those arguments have no side effects, transform to a series of two argument calls, avoiding funcall in the byte-compiled code. * mule/mule-cmds.el (finish-set-language-environment): Take advantage of this change in a function called 256 times at startup. 2010-09-16 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * bytecomp.el (byte-compile-function-form, byte-compile-quote) (byte-compile-quote-form): Warn at compile time, and error at runtime, if a (quote ...) or a (function ...) form attempts to quote more than one object. 2010-09-16 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * byte-optimize.el (byte-optimize-apply): Transform (apply 'nconc (mapcar ...)) to (mapcan ...); warn about use of the first idiom. * update-elc.el (do-autoload-commands): * packages.el (packages-find-package-library-path): * frame.el (frame-list): * extents.el (extent-descendants): * etags.el (buffer-tag-table-files): * dumped-lisp.el (preloaded-file-list): * device.el (device-list): * bytecomp-runtime.el (proclaim-inline, proclaim-notinline) Use #'mapcan, not (apply #'nconc (mapcar ...) in all these files. * bytecomp-runtime.el (eval-when-compile, eval-and-compile): In passing, mention that these macros also evaluate the body when interpreted. tests/ChangeLog addition: 2011-02-07 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * automated/lisp-tests.el: Test lexical scope for `block', `return-from'; add a Known-Bug-Expect-Failure for a contorted example that fails when byte-compiled.

@node Toolbar Intro
@section Toolbar Intro

A @dfn{toolbar} is a bar of icons displayed along one edge of a frame.
You can view a toolbar as a series of menu shortcuts---the most
common menu options can be accessed with a single click rather than
a series of clicks and/or drags to select the option from a menu.
Consistent with this, a help string (called the @dfn{help-echo})
describing what an icon in the toolbar (called a @dfn{toolbar button})
does, is displayed in the minibuffer when the mouse is over the
button.

In XEmacs, a toolbar can be displayed along any of the four edges
of the frame, and two or more different edges can be displaying
toolbars simultaneously.  The contents, thickness, and visibility of
the toolbars can be controlled separately, and the values can
be per-buffer, per-frame, etc., using specifiers (@pxref{Specifiers}).

Normally, there is one toolbar displayed in a frame.  Usually, this is
the standard toolbar, but certain modes will override this and
substitute their own toolbar.  In some cases (e.g. the VM package), a
package will supply its own toolbar along a different edge from the
standard toolbar, so that both can be visible at once.  This standard
toolbar is usually positioned along the top of the frame, but this can
be changed using @code{set-default-toolbar-position}.

Note that, for each of the toolbar properties (contents, thickness,
and visibility), there is a separate specifier for each of the four
toolbar positions (top, bottom, left, and right), and an additional
specifier for the ``default'' toolbar, i.e. the toolbar whose
position is controlled by @code{set-default-toolbar-position}.  The
way this works is that @code{set-default-toolbar-position} arranges
things so that the appropriate position-specific specifiers for the
default position inherit from the corresponding default specifiers.
That way, if the position-specific specifier does not give a value
(which it usually doesn't), then the value from the default
specifier applies.  If you want to control the default toolbar, you
just change the default specifiers, and everything works.  A package
such as VM that wants to put its own toolbar in a different location
from the default just sets the position-specific specifiers, and if
the user sets the default toolbar to the same position, it will just
not be visible.

@node Creating Toolbar
@section Creating Toolbar

@defun make-toolbar-specifier spec-list

Return a new @code{toolbar} specifier object with the given
specification list.  @var{spec-list} can be a list of specifications
(each of which is a cons of a locale and a list of instantiators), a
single instantiator, or a list of instantiators.  @xref{Specifiers}, for
more information about specifiers.

Toolbar specifiers are used to specify the format of a toolbar.  The
values of the variables @code{default-toolbar}, @code{top-toolbar},
@code{left-toolbar}, @code{right-toolbar}, and @code{bottom-toolbar} are
always toolbar specifiers.

Valid toolbar instantiators are called "toolbar descriptors"
and are lists of vectors.  See @code{default-toolbar} for a description
of the exact format.
@end defun

The default toolbar is created in @file{toolbar-items.el}.  An example
which modifies an existing toolbar (by adding a button) is presented in
the specifier section @xref{Simple Specifier Usage}.

@node Toolbar Descriptor Format
@section Toolbar Descriptor Format

The contents of a toolbar are specified using a @dfn{toolbar descriptor}.
The format of a toolbar descriptor is a list of @dfn{toolbar button
descriptors}.  Each toolbar button descriptor is a vector in one of the
following formats:

@itemize @bullet
@item
@code{[@var{glyph-list} @var{function} @var{enabled-p} @var{help}]}
@item
@code{[:style @var{2d-or-3d}]}
@item
@code{[:style @var{2d-or-3d} :size @var{width-or-height}]}
@item
@code{[:size @var{width-or-height} :style @var{2d-or-3d}]}
@end itemize

Optionally, one of the toolbar button descriptors may be @code{nil}
instead of a vector; this signifies the division between the toolbar
buttons that are to be displayed flush-left, and the buttons to be
displayed flush-right.

The first vector format above specifies a normal toolbar button;
the others specify blank areas in the toolbar.

For the first vector format:

@itemize @bullet
@item
@var{glyph-list} should be a list of one to six glyphs (as created by
@code{make-glyph}) or a symbol whose value is such a list.  The first
glyph, which must be provided, is the glyph used to display the toolbar
button when it is in the ``up'' (not pressed) state.  The optional
second glyph is for displaying the button when it is in the ``down''
(pressed) state.  The optional third glyph is for when the button is
disabled.  The last three glyphs are for displaying the button in the
``up'', ``down'', and ``disabled'' states, respectively, but are used
when the user has called for captioned toolbar buttons (using
@code{toolbar-buttons-captioned-p}).  The function
@code{toolbar-make-button-list} is useful in creating these glyph lists.

@item
Even if you do not provide separate down-state and disabled-state
glyphs, the user will still get visual feedback to indicate which
state the button is in.  Buttons in the up-state are displayed
with a shadowed border that gives a raised appearance to the
button.  Buttons in the down-state are displayed with shadows that
give a recessed appearance.  Buttons in the disabled state are
displayed with no shadows, giving a 2-d effect.

@item
If some of the toolbar glyphs are not provided, they inherit as follows:

@example
     UP:                up
     DOWN:              down -> up
     DISABLED:          disabled -> up
     CAP-UP:            cap-up -> up
     CAP-DOWN:          cap-down -> cap-up -> down -> up
     CAP-DISABLED:      cap-disabled -> cap-up -> disabled -> up
@end example

@item
The second element @var{function} is a function to be called when the
toolbar button is activated (i.e. when the mouse is released over the
toolbar button, if the press occurred in the toolbar).  It can be any
form accepted by @code{call-interactively}, since this is how it is
invoked.

@item
The third element @var{enabled-p} specifies whether the toolbar button
is enabled (disabled buttons do nothing when they are activated, and are
displayed differently; see above).  It should be either a boolean or a
form that evaluates to a boolean.

@item
The fourth element @var{help}, if non-@code{nil}, should be a string.
This string is displayed in the echo area when the mouse passes over the
toolbar button.
@end itemize

For the other vector formats (specifying blank areas of the toolbar):

@itemize @bullet
@item
@var{2d-or-3d} should be one of the symbols @code{2d} or @code{3d},
indicating whether the area is displayed with shadows (giving it a
raised, 3-d appearance) or without shadows (giving it a flat
appearance).

@item
@var{width-or-height} specifies the length, in pixels, of the blank
area.  If omitted, it defaults to a device-specific value (8 pixels for
X devices).
@end itemize

@defun toolbar-make-button-list up &optional down disabled cap-up cap-down cap-disabled
This function calls @code{make-glyph} on each arg and returns a list of
the results.  This is useful for setting the first argument of a toolbar
button descriptor (typically, the result of this function is assigned
to a symbol, which is specified as the first argument of the toolbar
button descriptor).
@end defun

@defun check-toolbar-button-syntax button &optional noerror
Verify the syntax of entry @var{button} in a toolbar description list.
If you want to verify the syntax of a toolbar description list as a
whole, use @code{check-valid-instantiator} with a specifier type of
@code{toolbar}.
@end defun

In order to specify the contents of a toolbar, set one of the specifier
variables @code{default-toolbar}, @code{top-toolbar},
@code{bottom-toolbar}, @code{left-toolbar}, or @code{right-toolbar}.
These are specifiers, which means you set them with @code{set-specifier}
and query them with @code{specifier-specs} or @code{specifier-instance}.
You will get an error if you try to set them using @code{setq}.  The
valid instantiators for these specifiers are toolbar descriptors, as
described above.  @xref{Specifiers}, for more information.

Most of the time, you will set @code{default-toolbar}, which allows
the user to choose where the toolbar should go.

@defvr Specifier default-toolbar
The position of this toolbar is specified in the function
@code{default-toolbar-position}.  If the corresponding
position-specific toolbar (e.g. @code{top-toolbar} if
@code{default-toolbar-position} is @code{top}) does not specify a
toolbar in a particular domain, then the value of @code{default-toolbar}
in that domain, of any, will be used instead.
@end defvr

Note that the toolbar at any particular position will not be displayed
unless its thickness (width or height, depending on orientation) is
non-zero and its visibility status is true.  The thickness is controlled
by the specifiers @code{top-toolbar-height},
@code{bottom-toolbar-height}, @code{left-toolbar-width}, and
@code{right-toolbar-width}, and the visibility status is controlled by
the specifiers @code{top-toolbar-visible-p},
@code{bottom-toolbar-visible-p}, @code{left-toolbar-visible-p}, and
@code{right-toolbar-visible-p} (@pxref{Other Toolbar Variables}).

@defun set-default-toolbar-position position
This function sets the position that the @code{default-toolbar} will be
displayed at.  Valid positions are the symbols @code{top},
@code{bottom}, @code{left} and @code{right}.  What this actually does is
set the fallback specifier for the position-specific specifier
corresponding to the given position to @code{default-toolbar}, and set
the fallbacks for the other position-specific specifiers to @code{nil}.
It also does the same thing for the position-specific thickness and
visibility specifiers, which inherit from one of
@code{default-toolbar-height} or @code{default-toolbar-width}, and from
@code{default-toolbar-visible-p}, respectively (@pxref{Other Toolbar
Variables}).
@end defun

@defun default-toolbar-position
This function returns the position that the @code{default-toolbar} will
be displayed at.
@end defun

You can also explicitly set a toolbar at a particular position.  When
redisplay determines what to display at a particular position in a
particular domain (i.e. window), it first consults the position-specific
toolbar.  If that does not yield a toolbar descriptor, the
@code{default-toolbar} is consulted if @code{default-toolbar-position}
indicates this position.

@defvr Specifier top-toolbar
Specifier for the toolbar at the top of the frame.
@end defvr

@defvr Specifier bottom-toolbar
Specifier for the toolbar at the bottom of the frame.
@end defvr

@defvr Specifier left-toolbar
Specifier for the toolbar at the left edge of the frame.
@end defvr

@defvr Specifier right-toolbar
Specifier for the toolbar at the right edge of the frame.
@end defvr

@defun toolbar-specifier-p object
This function returns non-@code{nil} if @var{object} is a toolbar specifier.
Toolbar specifiers are the actual objects contained in the toolbar
variables described above, and their valid instantiators are
toolbar descriptors (@pxref{Toolbar Descriptor Format}).
@end defun

@node Other Toolbar Variables
@section Other Toolbar Variables

The variables to control the toolbar thickness, visibility status, and
captioned status are all specifiers.  @xref{Specifiers}.

@defvr Specifier default-toolbar-height
This specifies the height of the default toolbar, if it's oriented
horizontally.  The position of the default toolbar is specified by the
function @code{set-default-toolbar-position}.  If the corresponding
position-specific toolbar thickness specifier
(e.g. @code{top-toolbar-height} if @code{default-toolbar-position} is
@code{top}) does not specify a thickness in a particular domain (a
window or a frame), then the value of @code{default-toolbar-height} or
@code{default-toolbar-width} (depending on the toolbar orientation) in
that domain, if any, will be used instead.
@end defvr

@defvr Specifier default-toolbar-width
This specifies the width of the default toolbar, if it's oriented
vertically.  This behaves like @code{default-toolbar-height}.
@end defvr

Note that @code{default-toolbar-height} is only used when
@code{default-toolbar-position} is @code{top} or @code{bottom}, and
@code{default-toolbar-width} is only used when
@code{default-toolbar-position} is @code{left} or @code{right}.

@defvr Specifier top-toolbar-height
This specifies the height of the top toolbar.
@end defvr

@defvr Specifier bottom-toolbar-height
This specifies the height of the bottom toolbar.
@end defvr

@defvr Specifier left-toolbar-width
This specifies the width of the left toolbar.
@end defvr

@defvr Specifier right-toolbar-width
This specifies the width of the right toolbar.
@end defvr

Note that all of the position-specific toolbar thickness specifiers
have a fallback value of zero when they do not correspond to the
default toolbar.  Therefore, you will have to set a non-zero thickness
value if you want a position-specific toolbar to be displayed.

@defvr Specifier default-toolbar-visible-p
This specifies whether the default toolbar is visible.  The position of
the default toolbar is specified by the function
@code{set-default-toolbar-position}.  If the corresponding position-specific
toolbar visibility specifier (e.g. @code{top-toolbar-visible-p} if
@code{default-toolbar-position} is @code{top}) does not specify a
visible-p value in a particular domain (a window or a frame), then the
value of @code{default-toolbar-visible-p} in that domain, if any, will
be used instead.
@end defvr

@defvr Specifier top-toolbar-visible-p
This specifies whether the top toolbar is visible.
@end defvr

@defvr Specifier bottom-toolbar-visible-p
This specifies whether the bottom toolbar is visible.
@end defvr

@defvr Specifier left-toolbar-visible-p
This specifies whether the left toolbar is visible.
@end defvr

@defvr Specifier right-toolbar-visible-p
This specifies whether the right toolbar is visible.
@end defvr

@code{default-toolbar-visible-p} and all of the position-specific
toolbar visibility specifiers have a fallback value of true.

Internally, toolbar thickness and visibility specifiers are instantiated
in both window and frame domains, for different purposes.  The value in
the domain of a frame's selected window specifies the actual toolbar
thickness or visibility that you will see in that frame.  The value in
the domain of a frame itself specifies the toolbar thickness or
visibility that is used in frame geometry calculations.

Thus, for example, if you set the frame width to 80 characters and the
left toolbar width for that frame to 68 pixels, then the frame will be
sized to fit 80 characters plus a 68-pixel left toolbar.  If you then
set the left toolbar width to 0 for a particular buffer (or if that
buffer does not specify a left toolbar or has a @code{nil} value specified for
@code{left-toolbar-visible-p}), you will find that, when that buffer is
displayed in the selected window, the window will have a width of 86 or
87 characters---the frame is sized for a 68-pixel left toolbar but the
selected window specifies that the left toolbar is not visible, so it is
expanded to take up the slack.

@defvr Specifier toolbar-buttons-captioned-p
Whether toolbar buttons are captioned.  This affects which glyphs from a
toolbar button descriptor are chosen.  @xref{Toolbar Descriptor Format}.
@end defvr

You can also reset the toolbar to what it was when XEmacs started up.

@defvr Constant initial-toolbar-spec
The toolbar descriptor used to initialize @code{default-toolbar} at
startup.
@end defvr
