Have NATNUMP give t for positive bignums; check limits appropriately. src/ChangeLog addition: 2010-11-20 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * abbrev.c (Fexpand_abbrev): * alloc.c: * alloc.c (Fmake_list): * alloc.c (Fmake_vector): * alloc.c (Fmake_bit_vector): * alloc.c (Fmake_byte_code): * alloc.c (Fmake_string): * alloc.c (vars_of_alloc): * bytecode.c (UNUSED): * bytecode.c (Fbyte_code): * chartab.c (decode_char_table_range): * cmds.c (Fself_insert_command): * data.c (check_integer_range): * data.c (Fnatnump): * data.c (Fnonnegativep): * data.c (Fstring_to_number): * elhash.c (hash_table_size_validate): * elhash.c (decode_hash_table_size): * eval.c (Fbacktrace_frame): * event-stream.c (lisp_number_to_milliseconds): * event-stream.c (Faccept_process_output): * event-stream.c (Frecent_keys): * event-stream.c (Fdispatch_event): * events.c (Fmake_event): * events.c (Fevent_timestamp): * events.c (Fevent_timestamp_lessp): * events.h: * events.h (struct command_builder): * file-coding.c (gzip_putprop): * fns.c: * fns.c (check_sequence_range): * fns.c (Frandom): * fns.c (Fnthcdr): * fns.c (Flast): * fns.c (Fnbutlast): * fns.c (Fbutlast): * fns.c (Fmember): * fns.c (Ffill): * fns.c (Freduce): * fns.c (replace_string_range_1): * fns.c (Freplace): * font-mgr.c (Ffc_pattern_get): * frame-msw.c (msprinter_set_frame_properties): * glyphs.c (check_valid_xbm_inline): * indent.c (Fmove_to_column): * intl-win32.c (mswindows_multibyte_to_unicode_putprop): * lisp.h: * lisp.h (ARRAY_DIMENSION_LIMIT): * lread.c (decode_mode_1): * mule-ccl.c (ccl_get_compiled_code): * number.h: * process-unix.c (unix_open_multicast_group): * process.c (Fset_process_window_size): * profile.c (Fstart_profiling): * unicode.c (Funicode_to_char): Change NATNUMP to return 1 for positive bignums; changes uses of it and of CHECK_NATNUM appropriately, usually by checking for an integer in an appropriate range. Add array-dimension-limit and use it in #'make-vector, #'make-string. Add array-total-size-limit, array-rank-limit while we're at it, for the sake of any Common Lisp-oriented code that uses these limits. Rename check_int_range to check_integer_range, have it take Lisp_Objects (and thus bignums) instead. Remove bignum_butlast(), just set int_n to an appropriately large integer if N is a bignum. Accept bignums in check_sequence_range(), change the functions that use check_sequence_range() appropriately. Move the definition of NATNUMP() to number.h; document why it's a reasonable name, contradicting an old comment. tests/ChangeLog addition: 2010-11-20 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * automated/lisp-tests.el: * automated/lisp-tests.el (featurep): * automated/lisp-tests.el (wrong-type-argument): * automated/mule-tests.el (featurep): Check for args-out-of-range errors instead of wrong-type-argument errors in various places when code is handed a large bignum instead of a fixnum. Also check for the wrong-type-argument errors when giving the same code a non-integer value.

Package distributions may be placed in this directory.
If present and a package-path is configured, packages can be installed
using the top-level Makefile.

To configure the package path, use the --with-late-packages option to
configure, which specifies a single directory in which to install the
xemacs-packages and mule-packages hierarchies provided.  If this is null,
or contains a Unix-style search path (i.e., a colon is present in the
argument of the --with-late-packages option), you will have to install
the packages by hand.

To find out if a distribution includes bundled packages, type

    make check-available-packages

There are three Make targets that may be available depending on the package
sets supplied.

    make install-bootstrap-packages
        Install a selected set of packages sufficient to support
        downloading and installing packages via the M-x list-packages
        interface.  Chose this if you want to be able to install the
        latest version of each package immediately.

    make install-nomule-packages
        Install the full distribution of packages that do not require a
        Mule-enabled XEmacs.  Choose this package if you don't have a
        Mule-enabled XEmacs and want the convenience of a single-command
        installation.  You can add or update packages via M-x list-packages
        at any time.

    make install-all-packages
        Install the full distribution of packages, including those requiring
        a Mule-enabled XEmacs.  Choose this package if you have a Mule-
        enabled XEmacs and want the convenience of a single-command
        installation.  You can add or update packages via M-x list-packages
        at any time.

DISTRIBUTOR'S NOTE: you may choose what packages you wish to include in
bootstrap.tar.gz, but to make list-packages work you need to include at
least xemacs-base, dired, and efs.  The tarball should unpack directly as
an xemacs-packages tree (and optionaly, a mule-packages tree.  Also, if
either of xemacs-sumo.tar.gz or xemacs-mule-sumo.tar.gz is provided, the
other should be as well.

If packages are not available with the distribution, you can get them at

    ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/packages/xemacs-sumo.tar.gz
    ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/packages/xemacs-mule-sumo.tar.gz
    http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp/Tools/XEmacs/bootstrap.tar.gz

and place them in the same directory as this file.  You can also make your
own bootstrap.tar.gz by creating a directory xemacs-packages, then
untarring the packages of your choice into that directory, and tarring the
whole thing up with "tar czf bootstrap.tar.gz xemacs-packages".  (If you
wish to include mule-packages, you should place them in mule-packages as
a sibling of xemacs-packages.)

This facility currently does not support installations which configure
the --with-early-packages, --with-late-packages, or --with-last-packages
options.

This facility currently will not overwrite an existing package
installation, not even if a whole hierarchy (usually the mule-packages)
is missing.  In particular, you cannot use this feature to add the
mule-packages to a package installation which lacks them, even if the
hierarchy is missing, or the xemacs-packages hierarchy was installed
this way.  Nor can you "upgrade" a bootstrap installation to a full
installation.  If you wish to do any of these things you will need to
remove the existing hierarchies.
