(2) printing_unreadable_lcrecord -> printing_unreadable_lisp_object and fix up so it no longer requires an lcrecord. These previous changes eliminate most of the remaining places where the terms `lcrecord' and `lrecord' occurred outside of specialized code. (3) Fairly major change: Reduce the number of words in an lcrecord from 3 to 2. The third word consisted of a uid that duplicated the lrecord uid, and a single free bit, which was moved into the lrecord structure. This reduces the size of the `uid' slot from 21 bits to 20 bits. Arguably this isn't enough -- we could easily have more than 1,000,000 or so objects created in a session. The answer is (a) It doesn't really matter if we overflow the uid field because it's only used for debugging, to identify an object uniquely (or pretty much so). (b) If we cared about it overflowing and wanted to reduce this, we could make it so that cons, string, float and certain other frob-block types that never print out the uid simply don't store a uid in them and don't increment the lrecord_uid_counter. (4) In conjunction with (3), create new macro NORMAL_LISP_OBJECT_UID() and use it to abstract out the differences between NEWGC and old-GC in accessing the `uid' value from a "normal Lisp Object pointer". (5) In events.c, use zero_nonsized_lisp_object() in place of custom- written equivalent. In font-mgr.c use external_object_printer() in place of custom-written equivalents.

/* Hey Emacs, this is -*- C -*- code! */

/* Synched up with: Not synched with FSF. */

/* Think twice before editing this file.  Generated automatically by configure.

 The file startup.el guesses at reasonable values for load-path, exec-path,
 and lock-directory.  This means that if you move emacs and its associated
 sub-tree to a different place in the filesystem, or to a different machine,
 you won't have to do anything for it to work.

 If you define the paths in this file then they will take precedence over
 any value generated by the heuristic in startup.el.  The hardcoded paths
 will be checked to see if they are valid, in which case they will be used.
 Otherwise the editor will attempt to make its normal guess.

 See the NEWS file for a description of the heuristic used to locate the lisp
 and exec directories at startup time.  If you are looking at this file
 because you are having trouble, then you would be much better off arranging
 for those heuristics to succeed than defining the paths in this file.

   **  Let me say that again.  If you're editing this file, you're making
   **  a mistake.  Re-read the section on installation in ../etc/NEWS.

 If it defines anything, this file should define some subset of the following:

   PATH_PREFIX		The default value of `prefix-directory'.  This is the
   			default root for everything.

   PATH_LOADSEARCH	The default value of `load-path'.

   PATH_EXEC		The default value of `exec-directory' and `exec-path'.
			(exec-path also contains the value of whatever is in
			the PATH environment variable.)

   PATH_DATA		The default value of `data-directory'.  This
			is where architecture-independent files are
			searched for.

   PATH_LOCK		The name of the directory that contains lock files
			with which we record what files are being modified in 
			Emacs.  This directory should be writable by everyone.
			If this is specified, the string must end with a slash!

   PATH_SUPERLOCK	The name of the file !!!SuperLock!!! in the lock 
			directory.  You probably should let this default...

   PATH_INFO		The default value of `Info-directory-list'.
			This is where info files are searched for. */
