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.
