* nt/INSTALL.W64 (Download and install MinGW-w64 and MSYS2): Move
suggestion about modifying PATH to...
(Test Emacs): ... here.
(Run configure): Remove the unnecessary setting of PKG_CONFIG_PATH.
(Troubleshooting): New section, includes suggestion to check
PKG_CONFIG_PATH.
* etc/NEWS (VC and related modes): Remove news item about the VC
state indicator. This should have been done with commit 7882dc6
of 2016-03-06 'Revert "Use colors in the VC mode lines"'.
This fixes bug #29293.
* lisp/progmodes/cc-cmds.el (c-defun-name): When a struct (etc.) type is
encountered, check whether it is the return type of a function rather than a
declaration of the struct itself. Similarly adapt the cond arm which deals
with functions properly to recognize struct return types.
* lisp/erc/erc-goodies.el (erc-keep-place): Allow erc
keep-place to continue working with
switch-to-buffer-preserve-window-point set to t, the new default.
Copyright-paperwork-exempt: yes
* lisp/net/tramp.el (tramp-drop-volume-letter): Handle also
backup file names.
(tramp-handle-find-backup-file-name):
Call `tramp-drop-volume-letter' on the results. (Bug#29149)
* src/xterm.c (x_draw_window_divider):
* src/w32term.c (w32_draw_window_divider): Fix misbehavior when
drawing three-pixel high horizontal dividers (Bug#29353).
The misbehavior was noted by Keith David Bershatsky and analyzed by Alan
Third.
* lisp/mh-e/mh-mime.el (mh-mime-display-single): Use
mm-automatic-display-p to verify that a part should be
displayed before doing the inline checks (SF#475).
This fixes most of bug #29272.
* lisp/help.el (help-read-key-sequence): After a mouse event, pause for 0.01s,
discarding any events (such as <help-echo>) received in this time, before
polling for the double-click (etc.) events which may follow. This fixes the
infinite loop which occurred whwn <help-echo> events triggered a sit-for
whilst handling menu events.
* src/indent.c (line_number_display_width): Avoid assertion
violations in init_iterator when the window's buffer was
temporarily switched without updating window-start. (Bug#29326)
* lisp/progmodes/grep.el (lgrep, rgrep, grep-read-files): Explain
how to enter whitespace when using grep-read-files. (Bug#29303)
* lisp/progmodes/project.el (project-find-regexp): Likewise.
* lisp/vc/vc-git.el (vc-git-grep): Likewise.
* lisp/mouse.el (mouse-drag-and-drop-region): Use 'car-safe'
instead of 'car' to ignore 'select-window' events. Thanks to
Stefan Monnier for spotting this.
* tramp-sh.el: Set TERM and INSIDE_EMACS environment earlier.
(tramp-remote-process-environment): Remove TERM and INSIDE_EMACS.
(tramp-remote-process-environment): Document their special handling.
(tramp-open-shell): Set TERM and INSIDE_EMACS prior to starting the
initial remote shell, so that it is also aware of the environment
in which it is operating. (Bug#28139)
* lisp/url/url-cookie.el (url-cookie-handle-set-cookie):
Regard a Set-Cookie header as it contains a single cookie;
prefer Max-Age to Expires and convert it to Expires;
remove support for old time string styles (bug#29282).
* doc/lispref/edebug.texi (Instrumenting Macro Calls): Improve
discussion of when it might be necessary to find and evaluate macro
specifications before instrumenting.
(Specification List): Clarify what "defining form" means to Edebug
and when 'def-form' or 'def-body' should be used instead of 'form'
or 'body'.
* configure.ac (HAVE_STRUCT_ATTRIBUTE_ALIGNED): Remove. No longer
needed, since we no longer rely on __attribute__ ((aligned (8))).
All uses removed.
* src/emacs-module.c (HAVE_STRUCT_ATTRIBUTE_ALIGNED): Remove.
(lisp_to_value): Simplify now that we no longer need to worry
whether HAVE_STRUCT_ATTRIBUTE_ALIGNED is false.
Use alignas and unions to specify alignments of objects needing
addresses that are at least a multiple of GCALIGNMENT. Using
these standard C facilities should be safer than relying on ad hoc
and poorly-understood features like GCC’s __attribute__
((aligned (N))), the root cause for recent porting bugs like
Bug#29040. The alignas macro was standardized by C11 and Gnulib
supports alignas for pre-C11 platforms. I have tested this on Sun
Studio 12 sparc (2007) and GCC 4.4.7 x86-64 (2012) as well as on
more recent platforms like GCC 7.2.1 (2017) on Fedora 26 (both
x86-64 and x86).
* lib-src/make-docfile.c (close_emacs_globals): lispsym is now
just an array of struct Lisp_Symbol, since struct Lisp_Symbol is
now properly aligned. All uses changed.
* src/alloc.c (NEXT_FREE_LISP_STRING): Just use the new u.next
member; this is simpler and safer than casting a pointer that
might not be aligned properly.
(aligned_Lisp_Symbol): Remove. No longer needed, now that struct
Lisp_Symbol is aligned properly. All uses replaced with struct
Lisp_Symbol.
* src/lisp.h (GCALIGNED): Remove, as it does not work as expected:
it can cause the natural alignment to be ignored. All uses
replaced by unions with a ‘char alignas (GCALIGNMENT)’ member as
described below.
(struct Lisp_Symbol, struct Lisp_Cons, struct Lisp_String):
Change definition from ‘struct TAG { MEMBERS };’ to
‘struct TAG { union { struct { MEMBERS } s; char alignas
(GCALIGNMENT) gcaligned; } u; };’. This guarantees ‘struct TAG’
to have an alignment that at least max (GCALIGNMENT, N) where N is
its old alignment. All uses like ‘PTR->MEMBER’ changed to
‘PTR->u.s.MEMBER’; these uses were supposed to be mostly private
anyway. Verify that the resulting ‘struct TAG’ is properly
aligned for Emacs.
(union vectorlike_header): New member ‘gcaligned’ to guarantee
that this type, and its containing types like ‘struct Lisp_Subr’,
‘struct buffer’ and ‘struct thread_state’, are all properly
aligned for Emacs.
(struct Lisp_String): New union member ‘next’, for the benefit
of NEXT_FREE_LISP_STRING.
(union Aligned_Cons, union Aligned_String): Remove. All uses
replaced by struct Lisp_Cons and struct Lisp_String, since they
are now properly aligned.
(USE_STACK_CONS, USE_STACK_STRING): Simplify now that we can
assume struct Lisp_Cons and struct Lisp_String are properly
aligned.
