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.
($(etc)/DOC): Don't scan loaddefs.el for doc strings, since they
are now picked up from the .elc file (bug#53024).
* lisp/emacs-lisp/cl-macs.el (cl--optimize)
(cl-struct-sequence-type, cl-struct-slot-offset): Autoload since
they are referred to by code in cl-loaddefs.el.
This fixes Bug#54648.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/loaddefs-gen.el (loaddefs-generate--make-autoload):
Add `iter-defun' and `cl-iter-defun' to the list of "complex cases"
that are macro-expanded and recursed on.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/byte-run.el (byte-run--set-obsolete): The `when'
is a string (or nil), so don't quote it (bug#48145).
* lisp/emacs-lisp/loaddefs-gen.el (loaddefs-generate--print-form):
Adjust folding.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/loaddefs-gen.el (loaddefs-generate): Always
generate an output file if we have EXTRA-DATA. This fixes package
installation of packages with no ;;;###autoload forms.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/loaddefs-gen.el (loaddefs-generate--rubric): Fix
the name that's recorded in the file -- this is only used by
loaddefs-gen now, I think.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/loaddefs-gen.el (generated-autoload-file)
(generated-autoload-load-name): Move the remaining two autoload.el
variables used by loaddefs-gen.el from autoload.el.
* lisp/url/url-cookie.el (url-cookie-write-file):
* lisp/international/titdic-cnv.el (tit-process-header):
* lisp/international/ja-dic-cnv.el (skkdic-convert):
* lisp/international/emoji.el (emoji--generate-file):
* lisp/emacs-lisp/loaddefs-gen.el (loaddefs-generate--rubric)
* admin/unidata/unidata-gen.el (unidata-gen-file)
(unidata-gen-charprop): Use the new functions.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/generate-file.el: New file to provide
convenience functions for generated files. It's not always
trivial to know which parts of the trailer that has to be
obfuscated to avoid not getting byte-compiled etc, and some parts
of the headers/trailers are usually forgotten when hand-coding
these.
* lisp/Makefile.in ($(lisp)/loaddefs.el): Use the new function.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/loaddefs-gen.el (loaddefs-generate): Pass in
whether to inhibit a partial build (to make the code more general).
(loaddefs-generate--emacs-batch): Add a new function specially for
the Emacs build that has the special rules needed. (This also
fixes out-of-tree builds.)
loaddefs-generate-batch can be used in general for packages etc.
(loaddefs-generate-batch): Remove the special code for Emacs builds.
