This is by means of two new object methods, print_preprocess (detecting circularities), and nsubst_structures_descend (replacing placeholders with the read objects). Expose the substitution to Lisp via #'nsubst and its new :descend-structures keyword. Store information as to whether symbols are interned in obarray or not in their header, making checking for keywords and uninterned symbols (and thus printing) cheaper. Default print_gensym to t, as Common Lisp does, and as a more-than-decade old comment suggests. lisp/ChangeLog addition: 2011-09-04 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * bytecomp.el (byte-compile-output-file-form): * bytecomp.el (byte-compile-output-docform): Bind print-circle, print-continuous-numbering in these functions, now those variables are available. * lisp.el (forward-sexp): * lisp.el (backward-sexp): Recognise leading #N= as being part of an expression. tests/ChangeLog addition: 2011-09-04 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * automated/lisp-reader-tests.el: * automated/lisp-tests.el (literal-with-uninterned): * automated/symbol-tests.el (foo): Test print-circle, for printing (mutually-)recursive and circular structures. Bind print-continuous-numbering where appropriate.
