Fix hash tables, #'member*, #'assoc*, #'eql compiler macros if bignums lisp/ChangeLog addition: 2010-01-24 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> Correct the semantics of #'member*, #'eql, #'assoc* in the presence of bignums; change the integerp byte code to fixnump semantics. * bytecomp.el (fixnump, integerp, byte-compile-integerp): Change the integerp byte code to fixnump; add a byte-compile method to integerp using fixnump and numberp and avoiding a funcall most of the time, since in the non-core contexts where integerp is used, it's mostly distinguishing between fixnums and things that are not numbers at all. * byte-optimize.el (side-effect-free-fns, byte-after-unbind-ops) (byte-compile-side-effect-and-error-free-ops): Replace the integerp bytecode with fixnump; add fixnump to the side-effect-free-fns. Add the other extended number type predicates to the list in passing. * obsolete.el (floatp-safe): Mark this as obsolete. * cl.el (eql): Go into more detail in the docstring here. Don't bother checking whether both arguments are numbers; one is enough, #'equal will fail correctly if they have distinct types. (subst): Replace a call to #'integerp (deciding whether to use #'memq or not) with one to #'fixnump. Delete most-positive-fixnum, most-negative-fixnum from this file; they're now always in C, so they can't be modified from Lisp. * cl-seq.el (member*, assoc*, rassoc*): Correct these functions in the presence of bignums. * cl-macs.el (cl-make-type-test): The type test for a fixnum is now fixnump. Ditch floatp-safe, use floatp instead. (eql): Correct this compiler macro in the presence of bignums. (assoc*): Correct this compiler macro in the presence of bignums. * simple.el (undo): Change #'integerp to #'fixnump here, since we use #'delq with the same value as ELT a few lines down. src/ChangeLog addition: 2010-01-24 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> Fix problems with #'eql, extended number types, and the hash table implementation; change the Bintegerp bytecode to fixnump semantics even on bignum builds, since #'integerp can have a fast implementation in terms of #'fixnump for most of its extant uses, but not vice-versa. * lisp.h: Always #include number.h; we want the macros provided in it, even if the various number types are not available. * number.h (NON_FIXNUM_NUMBER_P): New macro, giving 1 when its argument is of non-immediate number type. Equivalent to FLOATP if WITH_NUMBER_TYPES is not defined. * elhash.c (lisp_object_eql_equal, lisp_object_eql_hash): Use NON_FIXNUM_NUMBER_P in these functions, instead of FLOATP, giving more correct behaviour in the presence of the extended number types. * bytecode.c (Bfixnump, execute_optimized_program): Rename Bintegerp to Bfixnump; change its semantics to reflect the new name on builds with bignum support. * data.c (Ffixnump, Fintegerp, syms_of_data, vars_of_data): Always make #'fixnump available, even on non-BIGNUM builds; always implement #'integerp in this file, even on BIGNUM builds. Move most-positive-fixnum, most-negative-fixnum here from number.c, so they are Lisp constants even on builds without number types, and attempts to change or bind them error. Use the NUMBERP and INTEGERP macros even on builds without extended number types. * data.c (fixnum_char_or_marker_to_int): Rename this function from integer_char_or_marker_to_int, to better reflect the arguments it accepts. * number.c (Fevenp, Foddp, syms_of_number): Never provide #'integerp in this file. Remove #'oddp, #'evenp; their implementations are overridden by those in cl.el. * number.c (vars_of_number): most-positive-fixnum, most-negative-fixnum are no longer here. man/ChangeLog addition: 2010-01-23 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> Generally: be careful to say fixnum, not integer, when talking about fixed-precision integral types. I'm sure I've missed instances, both here and in the docstrings, but this is a decent start. * lispref/text.texi (Columns): Document where only fixnums, not integers generally, are accepted. (Registers): Remove some ancient char-int confoundance here. * lispref/strings.texi (Creating Strings, Creating Strings): Be more exact in describing where fixnums but not integers in general are accepted. (Creating Strings): Use a more contemporary example to illustrate how concat deals with lists including integers about #xFF. Delete some obsolete documentation on same. (Char Table Types): Document that only fixnums are accepted as values in syntax tables. * lispref/searching.texi (String Search, Search and Replace): Be exact in describing where fixnums but not integers in general are accepted. * lispref/range-tables.texi (Range Tables): Be exact in describing them; only fixnums are accepted to describe ranges. * lispref/os.texi (Killing XEmacs, User Identification) (Time of Day, Time Conversion): Be more exact about using fixnum where only fixed-precision integers are accepted. * lispref/objects.texi (Integer Type): Be more exact (and up-to-date) about the possible values for integers. Cross-reference to documentation of the bignum extension. (Equality Predicates): (Range Table Type): (Array Type): Use fixnum, not integer, to describe a fixed-precision integer. (Syntax Table Type): Correct some English syntax here. * lispref/numbers.texi (Numbers): Change the phrasing here to use fixnum to mean the fixed-precision integers normal in emacs. Document that our terminology deviates from that of Common Lisp, and that we're working on it. (Compatibility Issues): Reiterate the Common Lisp versus Emacs Lisp compatibility issues. (Comparison of Numbers, Arithmetic Operations): * lispref/commands.texi (Command Loop Info, Working With Events): * lispref/buffers.texi (Modification Time): Be more exact in describing where fixnums but not integers in general are accepted.

/* Think twice before editing this file.  Generated automatically by configure.

 The file startup.el guesses at reasonable values for load-path, exec-path,
 and lock-directory.  This means that if you move emacs and its associated
 sub-tree to a different place in the filesystem, or to a different machine,
 you won't have to do anything for it to work.

 If you define the paths in this file then they will take precedence over
 any value generated by the heuristic in startup.el.  The hardcoded paths
 will be checked to see if they are valid, in which case they will be used.
 Otherwise the editor will attempt to make its normal guess.

 See the NEWS file for a description of the heuristic used to locate the lisp
 and exec directories at startup time.  If you are looking at this file
 because you are having trouble, then you would be much better off arranging
 for those heuristics to succeed than defining the paths in this file.

   **  Let me say that again.  If you're editing this file, you're making
   **  a mistake.  Re-read the section on installation in ../etc/NEWS.

 If it defines anything, this file should define some subset of the following:

   PATH_PREFIX		The default value of `prefix-directory'.  This is the
   			default root for everything.

   PATH_LOADSEARCH	The default value of `load-path'.

   PATH_EXEC		The default value of `exec-directory' and `exec-path'.
			(exec-path also contains the value of whatever is in
			the PATH environment variable.)

   PATH_DATA		The default value of `data-directory'.  This
			is where architecture-independent files are
			searched for.

   PATH_LOCK		The name of the directory that contains lock files
			with which we record what files are being modified in 
			Emacs.  This directory should be writable by everyone.
			If this is specified, the string must end with a slash!

   PATH_SUPERLOCK	The name of the file !!!SuperLock!!! in the lock 
			directory.  You probably should let this default...

   PATH_INFO		The default value of `Info-directory-list'.
			This is where info files are searched for. */
