Rather than blindly increase `max-lisp-eval-depth` when entering the
debugger or running `signal-hook-function`, use this new "reserve"
to keep track of how much we have grown the stack for "debugger"
purposes so that for example recursive calls to `signal-hook-function`
can't eat up the whole C stack.
* src/eval.c (max_ensure_room): Rewrite.
(restore_stack_limits): Move before `max_ensure_room`. Rewrite.
(call_debugger, signal_or_quit): Adjust calls accordingly.
Also grow `max-lisp-eval-depth` for `hander-bind` handlers.
(init_eval_once): Don't initialize `max_lisp_eval_depth` here.
(syms_of_eval): Initialize it here instead.
Add new var `lisp-eval-depth-reserve`.
* doc/lispref/eval.texi (Eval): Add `lisp-eval-depth-reserve`.
It's only relevant for the second argument to `eval`; the actual
internal representation is an implementation matter and usually
different from what was described here.
* doc/lispref/variables.texi (Lexical Binding): Move the relevant
part of the description of the internal representation of
lexical environments from here...
* doc/lispref/eval.texi (Eval): ...to here, where it belongs.
Make `fset` and `defalias` signal an error on attempts to create
circular alias chains. This is more effective, efficient and
convenient than permitting alias loops to be created and trying to
detect them at run time each time a function is called, which is what
we have been doing until now, badly.
* lisp/help-fns.el (help-fns--analyze-function):
Don't pass obsolete argument.
* lisp/subr.el (function-alias-p):
* src/data.c (indirect_function, Findirect_function): Simplify.
Now error-free, second argument obsolete.
(Ffset): Detect loops.
* test/lisp/help-fns-tests.el (help-fns--analyze-function-recursive):
* test/lisp/subr-tests.el (test-alias-p):
Adapt tests.
* test/src/data-tests.el (data-tests-fset, data-tests-defalias): New.
* doc/lispref/eval.texi (Function Indirection):
* doc/lispref/functions.texi (Defining Functions, Function Cells):
Update manual.
* etc/NEWS: Announce.
Recent changes have caused bootstrapping to fail for certain
configurations, and it was likely getting close to the limits
for others. This change raises the limits to those previously
used when configured for nativecomp:
max-specpdl-size raised from 1800 to 2500
max-lisp-eval-depth raised from 800 to 1600
* src/eval.c (init_eval_once): Raise limits.
* doc/lispref/eval.texi (Eval):
* doc/lispref/variables.texi (Local Variables): Document new values.
Inspired by patch proposed by Dmitry Gutov (Bug#40671#393)
and by further comments by him and by Michael Heerdegen
in the same bug report.
* doc/lispintro/emacs-lisp-intro.texi (setcar):
Don’t push mutability here.
* doc/lispref/eval.texi (Self-Evaluating Forms, Quoting)
(Backquote):
* doc/lispref/lists.texi (Modifying Lists):
* doc/lispref/objects.texi (Lisp Data Types, Mutability):
* doc/lispref/sequences.texi (Array Functions, Vectors):
* doc/lispref/strings.texi (String Basics, Modifying Strings):
Don’t use the word “constant” to describe all values that
a program should not change.
* doc/lispref/objects.texi (Mutability):
Rename from “Constants and Mutability”. All uses changed.
In a footnote, contrast the Emacs behavior with that of Common
Lisp, Python, etc. for clarity, and say the goal is to be nicer.
Thanks to Štěpán Němec and Drew Adams for reviews of recent changes.
* doc/lispref/eval.texi (Quoting): Give an example.
* doc/lispref/lists.texi (Association Lists): Simplify example code.
* doc/lispref/objects.texi (Lisp Data Types)
(Constants and Mutability): Clarify wording.
See Bug#40693#32.
* doc/lispref/eval.texi (Self-Evaluating Forms, Backquote):
Say that these yield constant conses, vectors and strings,
not constant symbols.
* doc/lispref/objects.texi (Constants and Mutability): Say that an
attempt to modify a constant variable signals an error, instead of
saying that it has undefined behavior.
This change was inspired by comments from Štěpán Němec in:
https://lists.gnu.org/r/emacs-devel/2020-04/msg01063.html
* doc/lispref/objects.texi (Lisp Data Types): Mention mutability.
(Constants and mutability): New section.
* doc/lispintro/emacs-lisp-intro.texi (Lists diagrammed)
(Indent Tabs Mode): Improve wording.
* doc/lispref/eval.texi (Self-Evaluating Forms):
Say that they return constants.
* doc/lispref/lists.texi (Sets And Lists):
Fix memql mistake/confusion that I recently introduced.

* doc/lispref/internals.texi (Writing Emacs Primitives): Describe
currently preferred approach to marking primitives as pure and
side-effect-free.

The manuals often used quotes ``...'' when it is better to use @dfn or
@code or capitalized words or no quoting at all. For example, there is
no need for the `` and '' in “if a variable has one effect for
@code{nil} values and another effect for ``non-@code{nil}'' values”.
Reword the Emacs, Lisp intro, and Lisp reference manuals to eliminate
unnecessary quoting like this, and to use @dfn etc. instead when called
for (Bug#21472).
