Fix various small issues with the multiple-value implementation. lisp/ChangeLog addition: 2009-08-31 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * byte-optimize.el (byte-optimize-form-code-walker): Be careful about discarding multiple values when optimising #'prog1 calls. (byte-optimize-or): Preserve any trailing nil, as this is a supported way to explicitly discard multiple values. (byte-optimize-cond-1): Discard multiple values with a singleton followed by no more clauses. * bytecomp.el (progn): (prog1): (prog2): Be careful about discarding multiple values in the byte-hunk handler of these three forms. * bytecomp.el (byte-compile-prog1, byte-compile-prog2): Don't call #'values explicitly, use `(or ,(pop form) nil) instead, since that compiles to bytecode, not a funcall. * bytecomp.el (byte-compile-values): With one non-const argument, byte-compile to `(or ,(second form) nil), not an explicit #'values call. * bytecomp.el (byte-compile-insert-header): Be nicer in the error message to emacs versions that don't understand our bytecode. src/ChangeLog addition: 2009-08-31 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * eval.c (For, Fand): Don't declare val as REGISTER in these functions, for some reason it breaks the non-DEBUG union build. These functions are only called from interpreted code, the performance implication doesn't matter. Thank you Robert Delius Royar! * eval.c (Fmultiple_value_list_internal): Error on too many arguments. tests/ChangeLog addition: 2009-08-31 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * automated/lisp-tests.el (Assert-rounding): Remove an overly-verbose failure message here. Correct a couple of tests which were buggy in themselves. Add three new tests, checking the behaviour of #'or and #'and when passed zero arguments, and a Known-Bug-Expect-Failure call involving letf and values. (The bug predates the C-level multiple-value implementation.)

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.
