Overall speedup when using many buffers. (uniquify-fix-item-base, uniquify-fix-item-filename, uniquify-fix-item-buffer): Changed defmacro to defalias (cosmetic change). (uniquify-fix-item-unrationalized-buffer): Deleted: was the fourth place in the item, but waas never used. (uniquify-fix-item-min-proposed): New defalias: the fourth place in the item is now used as cache for the proposed name. (uniquify-rationalize-file-buffer-names): Move computation made on newbuffile out of the loop, in the newbuffile-nd local var. Use dolist (cosmetic change). Compute the proposed name for the most common case and cache it in the fourth place in the item. (uniquify-rationalize-file-buffer-names): Used to return a list of flags indicating renamed buffers, but that return value was never used. (uniquify-item-lessp): Replaces uniquify-filename-lessp, works on the cached proposed name, does much less consing and is quicker. (uniquify-filename-lessp): Deleted. (uniquify-rationalize-a-list): Use dolist (cosmetic change). Do not bind locally the uniquify-possibly-resolvable flag. Use the cached proposed name if possible. (uniquify-get-proposed-name): Arguments changed, callers changed. (uniquify-rationalize-conflicting-sublist): Explicitely reset the uniquify-possibly-resolvable flag, which is no more bound locally. (uniquify-rename-buffer): Do not set the unrationalised-buffer flag, which is replaced by the cached proposed name.

This directory contains the source files for the C component of GNU Emacs.
Nothing in this directory is needed for using Emacs once it is built
and installed, if the dumped Emacs (on Unix systems) or the Emacs
executable and map files (on VMS systems) are copied elsewhere.

See the files ../README and then ../INSTALL for installation instructions.

Under GNU and Unix systems, the file `Makefile.in' is used as a
template by the script `../configure' to produce `Makefile.c'.  The
same script then uses `cpp' to produce the machine-dependent
`Makefile' from `Makefile.c'; `Makefile' is the file which actually
controls the compilation of Emacs.  Most of this should work
transparently to the user; you should only need to run `../configure',
and then type `make'.

See the file VMSBUILD in this directory for instructions on compiling,
linking and building Emacs on VMS.

The files `*.com' and `temacs.opt' are used on VMS only.
The files `vlimit.h', `ioclt.h' and `param.h' are stubs to
allow compilation on VMS with the minimum amount of #ifdefs.

`uaf.h' contains VMS uaf structure definitions.  This is only needed if
you define READ_SYSUAF.  This should only be done for single-user
systems where you are not overly concerned with security, since it
either requires that you install Emacs with SYSPRV or make SYSUAF.DAT
world readable.  Otherwise, Emacs can determine information about the
current user, but no one else.

`pwd.h' contains definitions for VMS to be able to correctly simulate
`getpwdnam' and `getpwduid'.
