Reduce regexp usage, now CL-oriented non-regexp code available, core Lisp lisp/ChangeLog addition: 2015-04-01 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> When calling #'string-match with a REGEXP without regular expression special characters, call #'search, #'mismatch, #'find, etc. instead, making our code less likely to side-effect other functions' match data and a little faster. * apropos.el (apropos-command): * apropos.el (apropos): Call (position ?\n ...) rather than (string-match "\n" ...) here. * buff-menu.el: * buff-menu.el (buffers-menu-omit-invisible-buffers): Don't fire up the regexp engine just to check if a string starts with a space. * buff-menu.el (select-buffers-tab-buffers-by-mode): Don't fire up the regexp engine just to compare mode basenames. * buff-menu.el (format-buffers-tab-line): * buff-menu.el (build-buffers-tab-internal): Moved to being a label within the following. * buff-menu.el (buffers-tab-items): Use the label. * bytecomp.el (byte-compile-log-1): Don't fire up the regexp engine just to look for a newline. * cus-edit.el (get): Ditto. * cus-edit.el (custom-variable-value-create): Ditto, but for a colon. * descr-text.el (describe-text-sexp): Ditto. * descr-text.el (describe-char-unicode-data): Use #'split-string-by-char given that we're just looking for a semicolon. * descr-text.el (describe-char): Don't fire up the regexp engine just to look for a newline. * disass.el (disassemble-internal): Ditto. * files.el (file-name-sans-extension): Implement this using #'position. * files.el (file-name-extension): Correct this function's docstring, implement it in terms of #'position. * files.el (insert-directory): Don't fire up the regexp engine to split a string by space; don't reverse the list of switches, this is actually a longstand bug as far as I can see. * gnuserv.el (gnuserv-process-filter): Use #'position here, instead of consing inside #'split-string needlessly. * gtk-file-dialog.el (gtk-file-dialog-update-dropdown): Use #'split-string-by-char here, don't fire up #'split-string for directory-sep-char. * gtk-font-menu.el (hack-font-truename): Implement this more cheaply in terms of #'find, #'split-string-by-char, #'equal, rather than #'string-match, #'split-string, #'string-equal. * hyper-apropos.el (hyper-apropos-grok-functions): * hyper-apropos.el (hyper-apropos-grok-variables): Look for a newline using #'position rather than #'string-match in these functions. * info.el (Info-insert-dir): * info.el (Info-insert-file-contents): * info.el (Info-follow-reference): * info.el (Info-extract-menu-node-name): * info.el (Info-menu): Look for fixed strings using #'position or #'search as appropriate in this file. * ldap.el (ldap-decode-string): * ldap.el (ldap-encode-string): #'encode-coding-string, #'decode-coding-string are always available, don't check if they're fboundp. * ldap.el (ldap-decode-address): * ldap.el (ldap-encode-address): Use #'split-string-by-char in these functions. * lisp-mnt.el (lm-creation-date): * lisp-mnt.el (lm-last-modified-date): Don't fire up the regexp engine just to look for spaces in this file. * menubar-items.el (default-menubar): Use (not (mismatch ...)) rather than #'string-match here, for simple regexp. Use (search "beta" ...) rather than (string-match "beta" ...) * menubar-items.el (sort-buffers-menu-alphabetically): * menubar-items.el (sort-buffers-menu-by-mode-then-alphabetically): * menubar-items.el (group-buffers-menu-by-mode-then-alphabetically): Don't fire up the regexp engine to check if a string starts with a space or an asterisk. Use the more fine-grained results of #'compare-strings; compare case-insensitively for the buffer menu. * menubar-items.el (list-all-buffers): * menubar-items.el (tutorials-menu-filter): Use #'equal rather than #'string-equal, which, in this context, has the drawback of not having a bytecode, and no redeeming features. * minibuf.el: * minibuf.el (un-substitute-in-file-name): Use #'count, rather than counting the occurences of $ using the regexp engine. * minibuf.el (read-file-name-internal-1): Don't fire up the regexp engine to search for ?=. * mouse.el (mouse-eval-sexp): Check for newline with #'find. * msw-font-menu.el (mswindows-reset-device-font-menus): Split a string by newline with #'split-string-by-char. * mule/japanese.el: * mule/japanese.el ("Japanese"): Use #'search rather than #'string-match; canoncase before comparing; fix a bug I had introduced where I had been making case insensitive comparisons where the case mattered. * mule/korea-util.el (default-korean-keyboard): Look for ?3 using #'find, not #'string-march. * mule/korea-util.el (quail-hangul-switch-hanja): Search for a fixed string using #'search. * mule/mule-cmds.el (set-locale-for-language-environment): #'position, #'substitute rather than #'string-match, #'replace-in-string. * newcomment.el (comment-make-extra-lines): Use #'search rather than #'string-match for a simple string. * package-get.el (package-get-remote-filename): Use #'position when looking for ?@ * process.el (setenv): * process.el (read-envvar-name): Use #'position when looking for ?=. * replace.el (map-query-replace-regexp): Use #'split-string-by-char instead of using an inline implementation of it. * select.el (select-convert-from-cf-text): * select.el (select-convert-from-cf-unicodetext): Use #'position rather than #'string-match in these functions. * setup-paths.el (paths-emacs-data-root-p): Use #'search when looking for simple string. * sound.el (load-sound-file): Use #'split-string-by-char rather than an inline reimplementation of same. * startup.el (splash-screen-window-body): * startup.el (splash-screen-tty-body): Search for simple strings using #'search. * version.el (emacs-version): Ditto. * x-font-menu.el (hack-font-truename): Implement this more cheaply in terms of #'find, #'split-string-by-char, #'equal, rather than #'string-match, #'split-string, #'string-equal. * x-font-menu.el (x-reset-device-font-menus-core): Use #'split-string-by-char here. * x-init.el (x-initialize-keyboard): Search for a simple string using #'search.

@c Indexing guidelines

@c I assume that all indexes will be combined.
@c Therefore, if a generated findex and permutations
@c cover the ways an index user would look up the entry,
@c then no cindex is added.
@c Concept index (cindex) entries will also be permuted.  Therefore, they
@c have no commas and few irrelevant connectives in them.

@c I tried to include words in a cindex that give the context of the entry,
@c particularly if there is more than one entry for the same concept.
@c For example, "nil in keymap"
@c Similarly for explicit findex and vindex entries, e.g. "print example".

@c Error codes are given cindex entries, e.g. "end-of-file error".

@c pindex is used for .el files and Unix programs

@node Index,  , Standard Hooks, Top
@unnumbered Index

@ignore
All variables, functions, keys, programs, files, and concepts are
in this one index.

All names and concepts are permuted, so they appear several times, one
for each permutation of the parts of the name.  For example,
@code{function-name} would appear as @b{function-name} and @b{name,
function-}.  Key entries are not permuted, however.
@end ignore

@c Print the indices
