Without this fix, time arithmetic yielded results that were not
mathematically accurate, even though the exact results were
representable; for example, (time-add 0 1e-13) yielded a timestamp
equal to 0 instead of to 1e-13.
* lisp/timezone.el (timezone-time-from-absolute):
Let time-add do its thing rather than using floating point
internally, which has rounding errors. We now have bignums and so
don’t need floating point to avoid overflow issues.
* src/timefns.c (timeform_sub_ps_p): New function.
(time_arith): If either argument is a float, represent the
result exactly instead of discarding sub-ps info.
* test/lisp/timezone-tests.el (timezone-tests-time-from-absolute):
Don’t assume (HI LO US PS) timestamp format.
* test/src/emacs-module-tests.el (mod-test-add-nanosecond/valid):
Don’t assume that time-add discards sub-ns info.
* test/src/timefns-tests.el (time-rounding-tests):
Add regression test to detect time-add rounding bug.
The convention is that a file with Author: but not Maintainer:
means the author is a maintainer, which makes it confusing
when a file lists the same person as author and maintainer.
Avoid the confusion by removing the duplicate Maintainer: line.
Most of this change is to boilerplate commentary such as license URLs.
This change was prompted by ftp://ftp.gnu.org's going-away party,
planned for November. Change these FTP URLs to https://ftp.gnu.org
instead. Make similar changes for URLs to other organizations moving
away from FTP. Also, change HTTP to HTTPS for URLs to gnu.org and
fsf.org when this works, as this will further help defend against
man-in-the-middle attacks (for this part I omitted the MS-DOS and
MS-Windows sources and the test tarballs to keep the workload down).
HTTPS is not fully working to lists.gnu.org so I left those URLs alone
for now.
This implements a suggestion made in:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2014-10/msg00587.html
Among other things, this means timer.el no longer needs to
autoload the time-date module.
* doc/lispref/os.texi (Time of Day, Time Conversion, Time Parsing)
(Processor Run Time, Time Calculations):
Document the new behavior, plus be clearer about the old behavior.
(Idle Timers): Take advantage of new functionality.
* etc/NEWS: Document the changes.
* lisp/allout-widgets.el (allout-elapsed-time-seconds): Doc fix.
* lisp/arc-mode.el (archive-ar-summarize):
* lisp/calendar/time-date.el (seconds-to-time, days-to-time, time-since):
* lisp/emacs-lisp/timer.el (timer-relative-time, timer-event-handler)
(run-at-time, with-timeout-suspend, with-timeout-unsuspend):
* lisp/net/tramp.el (tramp-time-less-p, tramp-time-subtract):
* lisp/proced.el (proced-time-lessp):
* lisp/timezone.el (timezone-time-from-absolute):
* lisp/type-break.el (type-break-schedule, type-break-time-sum):
Simplify by using new functionality.
* lisp/calendar/cal-dst.el (calendar-next-time-zone-transition):
Do not return time values in obsolete and undocumented (HI . LO)
format; use (HI LO) instead.
* lisp/calendar/time-date.el (with-decoded-time-value):
Treat 'nil' as current time. This is mostly for XEmacs.
(encode-time-value, with-decoded-time-value): Obsolete.
(time-add, time-subtract, time-less-p): Use no-op autoloads, for
XEmacs. Define only if XEmacs, as they're now C builtins in Emacs.
* lisp/ldefs-boot.el: Update to match new time-date.el
* lisp/proced.el: Do not require time-date.
* src/editfns.c (invalid_time): New function.
Use it instead of 'error ("Invalid time specification")'.
(time_add, time_subtract, time_arith, Ftime_add, Ftime_less_p)
(decode_float_time, lisp_to_timespec, lisp_time_struct):
New functions.
(make_time_tail, make_time): Remove. All uses changed to use
new functions or plain list4i.
(disassemble_lisp_time): Return effective length if successful.
Check that LOW is an integer, if it's combined with other components.
(decode_time_components): Decode into struct lisp_time, not
struct timespec, so that we can support a wide set of times
regardless of whether time_t is signed. Decode plain numbers
as seconds since the Epoch, and nil as the current time.
(lisp_time_argument, lisp_seconds_argument, Ffloat_time):
Reimplement in terms of new functions.
(Fencode_time): Just use list2i.
(syms_of_editfns): Add time-add, time-subtract, time-less-p.
* src/keyboard.c (decode_timer): Don't allow the new formats (floating
point or nil) in timers.
* src/systime.h (LO_TIME_BITS): New constant. Use it everywhere in
place of the magic number '16'.
(struct lisp_time): New type.
(decode_time_components): Use it.
(lisp_to_timespec): New decl.
