* lisp/emacs-lisp/bytecomp.el (compilation-safety): New customize.
* src/comp.c (comp_t): Add func_safety.
(emit_call_with_type_hint, emit_call2_with_type_hint): Make use of.
(compile_function): Set 'comp.func_safety'.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/cl-seq.el (cl-sort):
Don't use string mutation when sorting the characters in a string.
This avoids O(n^2) run time and makes it future-safe.
This fixes cl-substitute, cl-substitute-if, cl-substitute-if-not,
cl-nsubstitute, cl-nsubstitute-if and cl-nsubstitute-if-not,
when called with a string sequence argument.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/cl-seq.el (cl-nsubstitute):
Avoid running in O(n^2) time and make future-safe.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/map-ynp.el (map-y-or-n-p): Bind
overriding-text-conversion-style to nil around read-event and
arrange that the input method be reset.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/track-changes.el (track-changes-inconsistent-state-p):
New function.
* lisp/progmodes/eglot.el (eglot--track-changes-signal): Use it.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/disass.el (disassemble): Handle (byte-code ...) here..
(disassemble-internal): ...instead of here.
(disassemble-1): Adjust text to reflect the existence of other
compiled functions.
help-xref-button fails if not preceded by a valid match, so a
preceding unconditional search should not be allowed to fail
silently.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/ert.el (ert-describe-test):
* lisp/help-fns.el (help-fns--compiler-macro)
(help-fns-function-description-header, describe-variable)
(help-fns--customize-variable, describe-face)
(help-fns--face-attributes, describe-keymap): Let unconditional
re-search-backward before help-xref-button fail early, as that would
indicate a logic bug, and the backtrace would more accurately point
to the actual source of the mistake.
It has been effectively obsolete since Emacs 27, when the modern
extension mechanism was introduced.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/rx.el (rx-constituents): Make obsolete.
* test/lisp/emacs-lisp/rx-tests.el (rx-constituents): Suppress warning.
* etc/NEWS: Announce.
Change `function` so that when evaluating #'(lambda ...)
we return an object of type `interpreted-function` rather than
a list starting with one of `lambda` or `closure`.
The new type reuses the existing PVEC_CLOSURE (nee PVEC_COMPILED)
tag and tries to align the corresponding elements:
- the arglist, the docstring, and the interactive-form go in the
same slots as for byte-code functions.
- the body of the function goes in the slot used for the bytecode string.
- the lexical context goes in the slot used for the constants of
bytecoded functions.
The first point above means that `help-function-arglist`,
`documentation`, and `interactive-form`s don't need to
distinguish interpreted and bytecode functions any more.
Main benefits of the change:
- We can now reliably distinguish a list from a function value.
- `cl-defmethod` can dispatch on `interactive-function` and `closure`.
Dispatch on `function` also works now for interpreted functions but still
won't work for functions represented as lists or as symbols, of course.
- Function values are now self-evaluating. That was alrready the case
when byte-compiled, but not when interpreted since
(eval '(closure ...)) signals a void-function error.
That also avoids false-positive warnings about "don't quote your lambdas"
when doing things like `(mapcar ',func ...)`.
* src/eval.c (Fmake_interpreted_closure): New function.

* src/lread.c (bytecode_from_rev_list):
* lisp/simple.el (function-documentation):
* lisp/help.el (help-function-arglist): Remove the old `closure` case
and adjust the byte-code case so it handles `interpreted-function`s.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/cl-preloaded.el (closure): New type.
(byte-code-function): Add it as a parent.
(interpreted-function): Adjust parent (the type itself was already
added earlier by accident).
* lisp/emacs-lisp/bytecomp.el (byte-compile--reify-function): Adjust to
new representation.
(byte-compile): Use `interpreted-function-p`.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/byte-opt.el (byte-compile-inline-expand): Adjust to
new representation.
(side-effect-free-fns): Add `interpreted-function-p` and `closurep`.
* src/profiler.c (trace_hash, ffunction_equal): Simplify.
* lisp/profiler.el (profiler-function-equal): Simplify.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/nadvice.el (advice--interactive-form-1):

advantage of the fact that function values are now self-evaluating.

Remove `lisp-indent-function` property.

Add `closurep` and `interpreted-function-p`.
* test/lisp/help-fns-tests.el (help-fns-test-lisp-defun): Adjust to
more precise type info in `describe-function`.
* test/lisp/erc/resources/erc-d/erc-d-tests.el (erc-d--render-entries):
Use `interpreted-function-p`.
* test/lisp/emacs-lisp/macroexp-resources/vk.el (vk-f4, vk-f5):
Don't hardcode function values.
* doc/lispref/functions.texi (Anonymous Functions): Don't suggest that
function values are lists. Reword "self-quoting" to reflect the
fact that #' doesn't return the exact same object. Update examples
with the new shape of the return value.
* doc/lispref/variables.texi (Lexical Binding):
* doc/lispref/lists.texi (Rearrangement):
* doc/lispref/control.texi (Handling Errors): Update examples to reflect
new representation of function values.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/easy-mmode.el (define-globalized-minor-mode):
Refine the Custom type of the '*-modes' option, generated when
this macro is given a ':predicate' argument. (Bug#70589)
* lisp/emacs-lisp/package-vc.el (vc-dir-prepare-status-buffer):
Add a declaration.
(package-vc-upgrade): Prepare a dummy vc-dir buffer to ensure
that 'vc-pull' (or rather 'vc-deduce-fileset') can correctly
infer the VC backend to use. (bug#70526)
* lisp/emacs-lisp/bytecomp.el (byte-compile-format-warn):
Speed up by eliminating the temporary buffer.
Detect invalid format sequences. Use plurals properly.
* test/lisp/emacs-lisp/bytecomp-tests.el: Update test.
(display-warning): Use 'warning-display-at-bottom' to display
the warning buffer at the bottom of the screen and to scroll
to the last warning message (bug#69983).
The source of bug#70436 is that we print a value into the buffer
and then we generate its print representation a second time to
get its length to find the bounds of the thing we just printed.
Not only it's wasteful, but it risks bugs because the two
"prints" can be inconsistent with each other.
This is not a complete fix because in the non EVALD case we
still use that same broken way.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/backtrace.el (backtrace--print-func-and-args):
Don't re-print things just to get their length.
(backtrace--print-to-string): Skip a temp-buffer indirection.
Arrange for the library to be usable on older Emacsen, which
includes reducing the noise when `before/after-change-functions`
are badly paired or missing.
Also, since the signal function receives the distance (for `:disjoint`),
we don't need `track-changes--disjoint-threshold`: the signal
function can simply do nothing when the distance is smaller than
the threshold it wants to use.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/track-changes.el: Prepare header for ELPA.
(track-changes--tracker, track-changes--state): Don't use `:noinline`,
so as to be compatible with Emacs<27.
(track-changes-record-errors): New variable.
(track-changes--recover-from-error): Use it. Record only the last 20
keys and the last 50 stack frames in the error log.
(track-changes--disjoint-threshold): Delete variable.
(track-changes--before): Don't use it any more.
* lisp/progmodes/eglot.el (eglot--track-changes-signal):
Coalesce disjoint changes nearer than what used to be coalesced because of
`track-changes--disjoint-threshold`.
Until now `cl-defstruct` signaled an error when encountering an
unknown option. It's easy to code and it does the job, but it
doesn't give good location info in the compiler's output,
and it makes it more painful to use not-yet-supported options.
So just signal a warning instead.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/cl-macs.el (cl-defstruct): Warn about unknown
options, instead of signaling an error.
