This follows on a suggestion by Stefan Monnier in:
https://lists.gnu.org/r/emacs-devel/2018-08/msg00991.html
(Bug#32902).
* doc/lispref/buffers.texi (Modification Time):
* doc/lispref/os.texi (Processor Run Time, Time Calculations)
* doc/lispref/processes.texi (System Processes):
* doc/lispref/text.texi (Undo):
Let the "Time of Day" section cover timestamp format details.
* doc/lispref/os.texi (Time of Day):
Say that timestamp internal format should not be assumed.
Document new (ticks . hz) format. Omit mention of seconds-to-time
since it is now just an alias for encode-time.
(Time Conversion): Document encode-time extension.
* etc/NEWS: Mention changes.
* lisp/calendar/cal-dst.el (calendar-system-time-basis): Now const.
* lisp/calendar/cal-dst.el (calendar-absolute-from-time)
(calendar-time-from-absolute)
(calendar-next-time-zone-transition):
* lisp/emacs-lisp/timer.el (timer-next-integral-multiple-of-time):
Simplify by using bignums, (TICKS . HZ), and new encode-time.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/timer.el (timer-next-integral-multiple-of-time):
Simplify by using bignums and new encode-time.
* lisp/calendar/parse-time.el (parse-iso8601-time-string):
Handle DST more accurately, by using new encode-time.
* lisp/calendar/time-date.el (seconds-to-time):
* lisp/calendar/timeclock.el (timeclock-seconds-to-time):
Now just an alias for encode-time.
* lisp/calendar/time-date.el (days-to-time):
* lisp/emacs-lisp/timer.el (timer--time-setter):
* lisp/net/ntlm.el (ntlm-compute-timestamp):
* lisp/obsolete/vc-arch.el (vc-arch-add-tagline):
* lisp/org/org-id.el (org-id-uuid, org-id-time-to-b36):
* lisp/tar-mode (tar-octal-time):
Don't assume timestamps default to list form.
* lisp/tar-mode.el (tar-parse-octal-long-integer):
Now an obsolete alias for tar-parse-octal-integer.
* src/keyboard.c (decode_timer): Adjust to changes to
time decoding functions elsewhere.
* src/timefns.c: Include bignum.h, limits.h.
(FASTER_TIMEFNS): New macro.
(WARN_OBSOLETE_TIMESTAMPS, CURRENT_TIME_LIST)
(timespec_hz, trillion, ztrillion):
New constants.
(make_timeval): Use TIME_T_MAX instead of its definiens.
(check_time_validity, time_add, time_subtract):
Remove. All uses removed.
(disassemble_lisp_time): Remove; old code now folded into
decode_lisp_time. All callers changed.
(invalid_hz, s_ns_to_double, ticks_hz_list4, mpz_set_time)
(timespec_mpz, timespec_ticks, time_hz_ticks)
(lisp_time_hz_ticks, lisp_time_seconds)
(time_form_stamp, lisp_time_form_stamp, decode_ticks_hz)
(decode_lisp_time, mpz_time, list4_to_timespec):
New functions.
(decode_float_time, decode_time_components, lisp_to_timespec):
Adjust to new struct lisp_time, which does not lose
information like the old one did.
(enum timeform): New enum.
(decode_time_components): New arg FORM. All callers changed.
RESULT and DRESULT are now mutually exclusive; no callers need
to change because of this.
(decode_time_components, lisp_time_struct)
(lisp_seconds_argument, time_arith, make_lisp_time, Ffloat_time)
(Fencode_time):
Add support for (TICKS . HZ) form.
(DECODE_SECS_ONLY): New constant.
(lisp_time_struct): 2nd arg is now enum timeform, not int.
All callers changed.
(check_tm_member): Support bignums.m
(Fencode_time): Add new two-arg functionality.
* src/systime.h (struct lisp_time): Now ticks+hz rather than
hi+lo+us+ps, since ticks+hz does not lose info.
* test/src/systime-tests.el (time-equal-p-nil-nil):
New test.
Formerly nil meant both that DST was not in effect and that
the DST flag was unknown, and different functions interpreted
the flag differently. Now the meaning is consistently nil for
DST not in effect, and -1 for DST flag not known.
* doc/lispref/os.texi (Time Conversion): The DST slot is
now three-valued, not two-.
* doc/misc/emacs-mime.texi (time-date): Adjust to new behavior.
* etc/NEWS: Mention this.
* lisp/calendar/parse-time.el (parse-time-string):
* src/editfns.c (Fdecode_time):
Return -1 for unknown DST flag.
* test/lisp/calendar/parse-time-tests.el (parse-time-tests):
Adjust tests to match new behavior, and add a new
test for nil vs -1.
I looked through all instances of most-negative-fixnum
and most-positive-fixnum in the Lisp source code, and
when it was easy I removed assumptions that integers
fit in fixnums. The remaining instances are either
nontrivial to fix, or are inherent to the algorithm.
* lisp/arc-mode.el (archive-l-e): Do not convert to float,
since we have bignums now. All uses changed.
* lisp/calc/calc.el (math-bignum):
Don’t special-case most-negative-fixnum.
* lisp/calendar/parse-time.el (parse-time-string):
* lisp/emacs-lisp/edebug.el (edebug-read-special):
* lisp/emacs-lisp/package.el (package--remove-hidden):
* lisp/gnus/nnfolder.el (nnfolder-read-folder):
* lisp/international/mule-util.el (filepos-to-bufferpos--dos):
* lisp/menu-bar.el (menu-bar-update-buffers):
* lisp/net/rcirc.el (rcirc-handler-317):
* lisp/org/org-agenda.el (org-cmp-ts):
* lisp/window.el (window--resize-child-windows):
Avoid arbitrary limit to most-positive-fixnum or to
most-negative-fixnum.
* lisp/calendar/time-date.el (days-to-time):
* lisp/erc/erc-dcc.el (erc-unpack-int):
Don’t worry about integer overflow.
* lisp/cedet/semantic/wisent/comp.el (wisent-BITS-PER-WORD):
* lisp/gnus/message.el (message-unique-id):
* lisp/org/org-footnote.el (org-footnote-new):
Simplify.
* lisp/erc/erc-dcc.el (erc-most-positive-int-bytes)
(erc-most-positive-int-msb): Remove; no longer needed.
* lisp/net/imap.el (imap-string-to-integer): Remove; unused.
* lisp/org/org-element.el (org-element--cache-generate-key):
Document fixnum limitation.
Most of this change is to boilerplate commentary such as license URLs.
This change was prompted by ftp://ftp.gnu.org's going-away party,
planned for November. Change these FTP URLs to https://ftp.gnu.org
instead. Make similar changes for URLs to other organizations moving
away from FTP. Also, change HTTP to HTTPS for URLs to gnu.org and
fsf.org when this works, as this will further help defend against
man-in-the-middle attacks (for this part I omitted the MS-DOS and
MS-Windows sources and the test tarballs to keep the workload down).
HTTPS is not fully working to lists.gnu.org so I left those URLs alone
for now.
* lisp/calendar/parse-time.el (parse-time-rules):
Allow years up to most-positive-fixnum.
* lisp/calendar/time-date.el (date-to-time):
Pass "Specified time is not representable" errors through.
* lisp/url/url-cookie.el (url-cookie-expired-p): Treat out-of-range
expiration dates as if they were far in the future.
* src/editfns.c (decode_time_components): Store an invalid timespec
on overflow, instead of returning false, so that the caller can
distinguish overflow from other errors.
(lisp_time_argument, lisp_seconds_argument): If the time is out
of range, signal a time overflow instead of an invalid time spec.
* src/keyboard.c (decode_timer): Treat time overflow like other
timespec errors.
Fixes: debbugs:18176
2014-02-04 Lars Ingebrigtsen <larsi@gnus.org>
* calendar/parse-time.el (parse-time-iso8601-regexp)
(parse-iso8601-time-string): Copied from `url-dav' so that we can use
it more generally.
2014-02-01 Lars Ingebrigtsen <larsi@gnus.org>
* net/dns.el (network-interface-list): Define for XEmacs.
2014-01-31 Magnus Henoch <magnus.henoch@gmail.com>
* net/dns.el (dns-servers-up-to-date-p): New function to see whether
the network interfaces changed.
(dns-query): Use it to flush the data.
