Improve the implementation, documentation of #'labels, #'flet. lisp/ChangeLog addition: 2011-09-07 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * bytecomp.el: * bytecomp.el (for-effect): Move this earlier in the file, it's referenced in byte-compile-initial-macro-environment. * bytecomp.el (byte-compile-initial-macro-environment): In the byte-compile-macro-environment definition for #'labels, put off the compiling the lambda bodies until the point where the rest of the form is being compiled, allowing the lambda bodies to access appropriate values for byte-compile-bound-variables, and reducing excessive warning about free variables. Add a byte-compile-macro-environment definition for #'flet. This modifies byte-compile-function-environment appropriately, and warns about bindings of functions that have macro definitions in the current environment, about functions that have byte codes, and about functions that have byte-compile methods (which may not do what the user wants at runtime). * bytecomp.el (byte-compile-funcall): If FUNCTION is constant, call #'byte-compile-callargs-warn if that's appropriate, giving warnings about problems with calling functions bound with #'labels. * cl-macs.el: * cl-macs.el (flet): Mention the main difference from Common Lisp, that the bindings are dynamic, not lexical. Counsel the use of #'labels, not #'flet, for this and other reasons. Explain the limited single use case for #'flet. Cross-reference to bytecomp.el in a comment. * cl-macs.el (labels): Go into detail on which functions may be called from where. Explain how to access the function definition of a label within FORM. Add a comment cross-referencing to bytecomp.el. man/ChangeLog addition: 2011-09-07 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * cl.texi (Function Bindings): Move #'labels first, describe it in more detail, explaining that it is to be preferred over #'flet, and explaining why. Explain that dynamic bindings with #'flet will also not work when functions are accessed through their bytecodes.

;;; Commentary:

;; This is a prototype site-load.el file.
;; The site-load.el mechanism is provided so XEmacs installers can easily
;; dump lisp packages with XEmacs that do not get dumped standardly.

;; The file `site-packages' if it exists should look something like:
;; (setq site-load-packages '(
;; "../lisp/modes/cc-mode.elc"
;; "../lisp/utils/redo.elc"
;; "../lisp/packages/scroll-in-place.elc"
;; )
;; )

;; The first line and the last line must be exact.  Each of the packages
;; listed must be double quoted, have either an absolute path, or a relative
;; to the build src directory path *and* be bytecompiled prior to the attempt
;; to dump.  They also must explicitly have the .elc extension.

;; Because this is a trial implementation and the file is shared with
;; make-docfiles, syntax is strict and unforgiving.  So sue me.  It
;; is still better than the way it used to be.

;; Also note that site-packages belongs in the top level directory not the
;; lisp directory for use with --srcdir configurations.

;;; Code:
(defvar site-load-package-file "../site-packages"
  "File name containing the list of extra packages to dump with XEmacs.")
(defvar site-load-packages nil
  "A list of .elc files that should be dumped with XEmacs.
This variable should be set by `site-load-package-file'.")

;; Load site specific packages for dumping with the XEmacs binary.
(when (file-exists-p site-load-package-file) 
  (let ((file))
    (load site-load-package-file t t t)
    ;; The `pureload' macro is provided as a clue that a package is
    ;; being loaded in preparation of being dumped into XEmacs.
    (defmacro pureload (file)
      (list 'prog1 (list 'load file) '(garbage-collect)))
    (message "Loading site-wide packages for dumping...")
    (while site-load-packages
      (setq file (car site-load-packages))
      (pureload file)
      (setq site-load-packages (cdr site-load-packages)))
    (message "Loading site-wide packages for dumping...done")
    (fmakunbound 'pureload)))

;; This file is intended for end user additions.
;; Put other initialization here, like setting of language-environment, etc.
;; Perhaps this should really be in the site-init.el.
