Let integers use up 2 tags to give them one extra bit and double their range. * lisp.h (USE_2_TAGS_FOR_INTS): New macro. (LISP_INT_TAG, case_Lisp_Int, LISP_STRING_TAG, LISP_INT_TAG_P): New macros. (enum Lisp_Type): Use them. Give explicit values. (Lisp_Type_Limit): Remove. (XINT, XUINT, make_number) [!USE_LISP_UNION_TYPE]: (MOST_NEGATIVE_FIXNUM, MOST_POSITIVE_FIXNUM, INTMASK): Pay attention to USE_2_TAGS_FOR_INTS. (INTEGERP): Use LISP_INT_TAG_P. * fns.c (internal_equal): Simplify the default case. (sxhash): Use case_Lisp_Int. * data.c (wrong_type_argument): Don't check against Lisp_Type_Limit any more. (Ftype_of): Use case_Lisp_Int. (store_symval_forwarding): Take into account the fact that Ints can now have more than one tag. * buffer.c (syms_of_buffer): Use LISP_INT_TAG. buffer_slot_type_mismatch): * xfaces.c (face_attr_equal_p): * print.c (print_object): * alloc.c (mark_maybe_object, mark_object, survives_gc_p): Use case_Lisp_Int.

If you think you may have found a bug in GNU Emacs, please
read the Bugs section of the Emacs manual for advice on
(1) how to tell when to report a bug, and
(2) how to write a useful bug report and what information
it needs to have.

There are three ways to read the Bugs section.

(1) In a printed copy of the Emacs manual.
You can order one from the Free Software Foundation;
see the file etc/ORDERS.  But if you don't have a copy on
hand and you think you have found a bug, you shouldn't wait
to get a printed manual; you should read the section right away
as described below.

(2) With Info.  Start Emacs, do C-h i to enter Info,
then m Emacs RET to get to the Emacs manual, then m Bugs RET
to get to the section on bugs.  Or use standalone Info in
a like manner.  (Standalone Info is part of the Texinfo distribution,
not part of the Emacs distribution.)

(3) By hand.  Do
    cat info/emacs* | more "+/^File: emacs,  Node: Bugs,"

Please first check the file etc/PROBLEMS (e.g. with C-h C-p in Emacs) to
make sure it isn't a known issue.
