Move the heavy lifting from cl-seq.el to C. src/ChangeLog addition: 2010-12-30 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> Move the heavy lifting from cl-seq.el to C, finally making those functions first-class XEmacs citizens, with circularity checking, built-in support for tests other than #'eql, and as much compatibility with current Common Lisp as Paul Dietz' tests require. * fns.c (check_eq_nokey, check_eq_key, check_eql_nokey) (check_eql_key, check_equal_nokey, check_equal_key) (check_equalp_nokey, check_equalp_key, check_string_match_nokey) (check_string_match_key, check_other_nokey, check_other_key) (check_if_nokey, check_if_key, check_match_eq_key) (check_match_eql_key, check_match_equal_key) (check_match_equalp_key, check_match_other_key): New. These are basically to provide function pointers to be used by Lisp functions that take TEST, TEST-NOT and KEY arguments. (get_check_match_function_1, get_check_test_function) (get_check_match_function): These functions work out which of the previous list of functions to use, given the keywords supplied by the user. (count_with_tail): New. This is the bones of #'count. (list_count_from_end, string_count_from_end): Utility functions for #'count. (Fcount): New, moved from cl-seq.el. (list_position_cons_before): New. The implementation of #'member*, and important in implementing various other functions. (FmemberX, Fadjoin, FassocX, FrassocX, Fposition, Ffind) (FdeleteX, FremoveX, Fdelete_duplicates, Fremove_duplicates) (Fnsubstitute, Fsubstitute, Fsublis, Fnsublis, Fsubst, Fnsubst) (Ftree_equal, Fmismatch, Fsearch, Fintersection, Fnintersection) (Fsubsetp, Fset_difference, Fnset_difference, Fnunion, Funion) (Fset_exclusive_or, Fnset_exclusive_or): New, moved here from cl-seq.el. (position): New. The implementation of #'find and #'position. (list_delete_duplicates_from_end, subst, sublis, nsublis) (tree_equal, mismatch_from_end, mismatch_list_list) (mismatch_list_string, mismatch_list_array) (mismatch_string_array, mismatch_string_string) (mismatch_array_array, get_mismatch_func): Helper C functions for the Lisp-visible functions. (venn, nvenn): New. The implementation of the main Lisp functions that treat lists as sets. lisp/ChangeLog addition: 2010-12-30 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * cl-seq.el: Move the heavy lifting from this file to C. Dump the cl-parsing-keywords macro, but don't use defun* for the functions we define that do take keywords, dynamic scope lossage makes that not practical. * subr.el (sort, fillarray): Move these aliases here. (map-plist): #'nsublis is now built-in, but at this point #'eql isn't necessarily available as a test; use #'eq. * obsolete.el (cl-delete-duplicates): Make this available for old compiler macros and old code. (memql): Document that this is equivalent to #'member*, and worse. * cl.el (adjoin, subst): Removed. These are in C.

@quotation
  Most of the XEmacs text editor is written in the programming
language called XEmacs Lisp.  You can write new code in XEmacs Lisp and
install it as an extension to the editor.  However, XEmacs Lisp is more
than a mere ``extension language''; it is a full computer programming
language in its own right.  You can use it as you would any other
programming language.

  Because XEmacs Lisp is designed for use in an editor, it has special
features for scanning and parsing text as well as features for handling
files, buffers, displays, subprocesses, and so on.  XEmacs Lisp is
closely integrated with the editing facilities; thus, editing commands
are functions that can also conveniently be called from Lisp programs,
and parameters for customization are ordinary Lisp variables.

  This manual describes XEmacs Lisp.  Generally speaking, the earlier
chapters describe features of XEmacs Lisp that have counterparts in
many programming languages, and later chapters describe features that
are peculiar to XEmacs Lisp or relate specifically to editing.
