Fewer algorithmic complexity surprises, nicer errors, mapcarX(), maplist() src/ChangeLog addition: 2010-09-01 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * fns.c (list_merge, list_array_merge_into_list) (list_array_merge_into_array): Avoid algorithmic complexity surprises when checking for circularity in these functions. (Freduce): Fix some formatting, in passing. (mapcarX): Drop the SOME_OR_EVERY argument to this function; instead, take CALLER, a symbol reflecting the Lisp-visible function that called mapcarX(). Use CALLER with mapping_interaction_error() when sequences are modified illegally. Don't cons with #'some, #'every, not even a little. (Fmapconcat, FmapcarX, Fmapvector, Fmapcan, Fmapc, Fmap) (Fmap_into, Fsome, Fevery): Call mapcarX() with its new arguments. (Fmapcan): Don't unnecessarily complicate the nconc call. (maplist): Take CALLER, a symbol reflecting the Lisp-visible function that called maplist(), rather than having separate arguments to indicate mapl vs. mapcon. Avoid algorithmic complexity surprises when checking for circularity. In #'mapcon, check a given stretch of result for well-formedness once, which was not previously the case, despite what the comments said. (Fmaplist, Fmapl, Fmapcon): Call maplist() with its new arguments.

@quotation
  Most of the XEmacs text editor is written in the programming
language called XEmacs Lisp.  You can write new code in XEmacs Lisp and
install it as an extension to the editor.  However, XEmacs Lisp is more
than a mere ``extension language''; it is a full computer programming
language in its own right.  You can use it as you would any other
programming language.

  Because XEmacs Lisp is designed for use in an editor, it has special
features for scanning and parsing text as well as features for handling
files, buffers, displays, subprocesses, and so on.  XEmacs Lisp is
closely integrated with the editing facilities; thus, editing commands
are functions that can also conveniently be called from Lisp programs,
and parameters for customization are ordinary Lisp variables.

  This manual describes XEmacs Lisp.  Generally speaking, the earlier
chapters describe features of XEmacs Lisp that have counterparts in
many programming languages, and later chapters describe features that
are peculiar to XEmacs Lisp or relate specifically to editing.
