Add compiler macros and compilation sanity-checks for functions with keywords.
2010-10-25 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net>
Add compiler macros and compilation sanity-checking for various
functions that take keywords.
* byte-optimize.el (side-effect-free-fns): #'symbol-value is
side-effect free and not error free.
* bytecomp.el (byte-compile-normal-call): Check keyword argument
lists for sanity; store information about the positions where
keyword arguments start using the new byte-compile-keyword-start
property.
* cl-macs.el (cl-const-expr-val): Take a new optional argument,
cl-not-constant, defaulting to nil, in this function; return it if
the expression is not constant.
(cl-non-fixnum-number-p): Make this into a separate function, we
want to pass it to #'every.
(eql): Use it.
(define-star-compiler-macros): Use the same code to generate the
member*, assoc* and rassoc* compiler macros; special-case some
code in #'add-to-list in subr.el.
(remove, remq): Add compiler macros for these two functions, in
preparation for #'remove being in C.
(define-foo-if-compiler-macros): Transform (remove-if-not ...) calls to
(remove ... :if-not) at compile time, which will be a real win
once the latter is in C.
(define-substitute-if-compiler-macros)
(define-subst-if-compiler-macros): Similarly for these functions.
(delete-duplicates): Change this compiler macro to use
#'plists-equal; if we don't have information about the type of
SEQUENCE at compile time, don't bother attempting to inline the
call, the function will be in C soon enough.
(equalp): Remove an old commented-out compiler macro for this, if
we want to see it it's in version control.
(subst-char-in-string): Transform this to a call to nsubstitute or
nsubstitute, if that is appropriate.
* cl.el (ldiff): Don't call setf here, this makes for a load-time
dependency problem in cl-macs.el

This directory contains a number of XEmacs dynamic modules. These modules can be loaded directly with the command 'M-x load-module'. However, the preferred method of loading a module is to issue a "(require 'module-name)" command to the Lisp interpreter. This will store information so that a later "(unload-feature 'module-name)" can succeed. To compile one of these modules, simply enter the desired directory, type 'configure', and then 'make'. If you are building the module for an installed XEmacs, then 'make install' will place the module in the appropriate directory for XEmacs to find it later (assuming you have permission to write to that directory). A subsequent 'load-module' or 'require' will then load the module, as described above. Each of these demonstrates different features and limitations of the XEmacs module loading technology. For a complete discussion on XEmacs dynamic modules, please consult the XEmacs Module Writers Guide, which can be found in the ../info directory. For those wanting to get started with module writing, please see the 'sample' directory. It contains two subdirectories: internal and external. The 'internal' subdirectory contains the framework needed to migrate some core piece of XEmacs functionality into code that can either be compiled into the core or built as a separate module. The 'external' subdirectory contains the somewhat simpler framework needed to build a module separately from XEmacs. These should be considered starting places for module writing.
