Add #'write-sequence, on the model of #'write-char, API from Common Lisp. src/ChangeLog addition: 2013-12-17 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * lisp.h: * lisp.h (PARSE_KEYWORDS_8): Correct this in cases where we can have noticeably fewer arguments than KEYWORDS_OFFSET, check whether nargs > pk_offset. Declare check_sequence_range in this header. * print.c: * print.c (Fwrite_sequence) New: Write a sequence to a stream, in the same way #'write-char and #'terpri do. API from Common Lisp, not GNU, so while there is some char-int confoundance, it's more limited than usual with GNU APIs. * print.c (syms_of_print): Make it available. * sequence.c (check_sequence_range): Export this to other files. lisp/ChangeLog addition: 2013-12-17 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * cl-extra.el: * cl-extra.el (write-string): New. * cl-extra.el (write-line): New. Add these here, implemented in terms of #'write-sequence in print.c. tests/ChangeLog addition: 2013-12-17 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * automated/lisp-tests.el: Up max-lisp-eval-depth when compiling this file, some of what we're doing in testing #'write-sequence is demanding. * automated/lisp-tests.el (make-circular-list): New argument VALUE, the car of the conses to create. * automated/lisp-tests.el: Test #'write-sequence, #'write-string, #'write-line with function, buffer and marker STREAMs; test argument types, keyword argument ranges and values.

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.
