* lisp/emacs-lisp/loaddefs-gen.el (loaddefs-generate--parse-file):
Don't fail in case of an error while generating the prefixes.
(loaddefs-generate--compute-prefixes): Don't burp when
`read-from-string` returns something else than a symbol.
In a previous commit, the local-variable read-symbol-shorthands is
already read into the temporary buffer used for the autoload parsing
aerobatics, so all we needed to do in 'l-g--compute-prefixes' is
use 'read' to give 'read-symbol-shorthands' a chance to kick in.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/loaddefs-gen.el
(loaddefs-generate--compute-prefixes):
This caused an issue where package-specific autoload cookies weren't
being correctly recognized, so they got dumped into the package's main
"<pkg>-autoloads.el" file, instead of "<pkg>-loaddefs.el" as they
should (bug#65023).
* lisp/emacs-lisp/loaddefs-gen.el (loaddefs-generate--parse-file):
Save match data when checking syntax.
There are packages in the wild, such as vlf-20191126.2250, which have
entries that are not terminated by three ';', but by two. Tolerate
such entries.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/loaddefs-gen.el (loaddefs-generate): Search for two
';' as a delimiter, not three. (Bug#63236)
* lisp/emacs-lisp/loaddefs-gen.el (loaddefs-generate): Remove
optimisation that would mistakenly discard old loaddefs in case a file
was not modified by EXTRA-DATA is non-nil. (Bug#62734)
loaddefs-generate produced an incomplete output file if 1) it
was called with a relative file name and 2) that same file was
specified via a generated-autoload-file cookie in a subset of
the input files. In that case, autoload entries were lost
because loaddefs-generate writes the same output file twice:
once for the relative name specified by the caller and once
for the absolute name that loaddefs-generate--parse-file
returns for the generated-autoload-file value.
This has been fixed. (Bug#60318)
* lisp/emacs-lisp/loaddefs-gen.el (loaddefs-generate): Expand file
names when grouping loaddef files.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/loaddefs-gen.el
(loaddefs-generate--file-load-name): Handle the case when FILE and
OUTFILE don't share any common ancestor directory. (Bug#59507)
* lisp/emacs-lisp/loaddefs-gen.el (loaddefs-generate--emacs-batch):
Extract the autoloads and have them loaded along with loaddefs.el.
* etc/NEWS: Mention the new feature. (Bug#57639)
* lisp/emacs-lisp/generate-lisp-file.el
(generate-lisp-file-trailer): Allow inhibiting nativecomp.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/loaddefs-gen.el (loaddefs-generate--rubric):
Inhibit native-comp, because it's not very useful for loaddefs files.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/loaddefs-gen.el (loaddefs-generate): Shorten the
informational GEN file relative to the stated directory
(bug#57265). This makes the message nicer for ELPA packages.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/loaddefs-gen.el (loaddefs-generate--print-form):
Escape control chars in bodies so that we don't end up with
trailing spaces if we're autoloading a defsubst containing
"\\`[ \t\n\r]*\\'".
* lisp/emacs-lisp/loaddefs-gen.el
(loaddefs-generate--shorten-autoload): New function.
(loaddefs-generate--make-autoload): Use it to drop optional nil
values from the `autoloads' forms. This makes the loaddefs.el
file about 12K shorter.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/loaddefs-gen.el (autoload-ignored-definitions):
Add another semantic function.
(loaddefs-generate--compute-prefixes): Allow newline after the "(def*"
form. (Bug#57000)
* lisp/emacs-lisp/loaddefs-gen.el
(loaddefs-generate--compute-prefixes): Allow tabs and spaces before
symbol name, so that "(defvar\tfoo-bar nil)" is properly picked up.
Before this change, such a definition would be wrongly picked up as
the symbol "nil".
* lisp/subr.el (package--builtin-versions): Adjust comments.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/loaddefs-gen.el (no-update-autoloads): Moved
here from autoload.el.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/loaddefs-gen.el: Removed now that it's no longer
used.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/package.el
(package-autoload-ensure-default-file): Don't warn about
soon-to-be obsolete functon.
* lisp/Makefile.in (all): Add "autoloads", which now otherwise
won't be done.
($(lisp)/loaddefs.el): Remove this target, since it's always done,
and would then trigger a re-compilation of loaddefs.elc.
* lisp/loadup.el: Load loaddefs.elc (if it exists).
* lisp/emacs-lisp/loaddefs-gen.el (loaddefs-generate): Don't
include no-byte-compile cookies in the Emacs build.
* src/Makefile.in ($(pdmp)): Depend on loaddefs.elc to ensure that
it's built by this point.
($(etc)/DOC): Don't scan loaddefs.el for doc strings, since they
are now picked up from the .elc file (bug#53024).
* lisp/emacs-lisp/cl-macs.el (cl--optimize)
(cl-struct-sequence-type, cl-struct-slot-offset): Autoload since
they are referred to by code in cl-loaddefs.el.
This fixes Bug#54648.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/loaddefs-gen.el (loaddefs-generate--make-autoload):
Add `iter-defun' and `cl-iter-defun' to the list of "complex cases"
that are macro-expanded and recursed on.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/byte-run.el (byte-run--set-obsolete): The `when'
is a string (or nil), so don't quote it (bug#48145).
* lisp/emacs-lisp/loaddefs-gen.el (loaddefs-generate--print-form):
Adjust folding.
