(c-looking-at-inexpr-block): Replaced a call to c-beginning-of-statement-1 that caused a bad case of recursion which could consume a lot of CPU in large classes in languages that have in-expression classes (i.e. Java and Pike). (c-guess-basic-syntax): Check for in-expression statements before top level constructs (i.e. case 6 is moved before case 5 and is now case 4) to catch in-expression classes in top level expressions correctly. (c-guess-basic-syntax): Less naive handling of objc-method-intro. Case 4 removed and case 5I added. (c-beginning-of-inheritance-list, c-guess-basic-syntax): Fixed recognition of inheritance lists when the lines begins with a comma. (c-forward-syntactic-ws): Fixed an infloop bug when the buffer ends with a macro continuation char. (c-guess-basic-syntax): Added support for function definitions as statements in Pike. The first statement in a lambda block is now labeled defun-block-intro instead of statement-block-intro. (c-narrow-out-enclosing-class): Whack the state so that the class surrounding point is selected, not the one innermost in the state. (c-guess-basic-syntax): Fixed bug in recognition of switch labels having hanging multiline statements. (c-beginning-of-member-init-list): Broke out some code in c-guess-basic-syntax to a separate function. (c-just-after-func-arglist-p): Fixed recognition of member inits with multiple line arglists. (c-guess-basic-syntax): New case 5B.3 to detect member-init-cont when the commas are in funny places. (c-looking-at-bos): New helper function. (c-looking-at-inexpr-block): More tests to tell inexpr and toplevel classes apart in Pike. (c-guess-basic-syntax): Fixed bogus recognition of case 9A. (c-guess-basic-syntax): Made the cpp-macro a syntax modifier like comment-intro, to make it possible to get syntactic indentation for preprocessor directives. It's incompatible wrt to lineup functions on cpp-macro, but it has no observable effect in the 99.9% common case where cpp-macro is set to -1000. (c-guess-basic-syntax): Fixed bug with missed member-init-cont when the preceding arglist is several lines. (c-beginning-of-statement-1): Fixed bug where we were left at comments preceding the first statement when reaching the beginning of the buffer. (c-beginning-of-closest-statement): New helper function to go back to the closest preceding statement start, which could be inside a conditional statement. (c-guess-basic-syntax): Use c-beginning-of-closest-statement in cases 10B.2, 17B and 17C. (c-guess-basic-syntax): Better handling of arglist-intro, arglist-cont-nonempty and arglist-close when the arglist is nested inside parens. Cases 7A, 7C and 7F changed. (c-beginning-of-statement-1): Fixed handling of multiline Pike type decls. (c-guess-basic-syntax): Fixed bug with fully::qualified::names in C++ member init lists. Preamble in case 5D changed.

README for Edition 2.5 of the Emacs Lisp Reference Manual.

* This directory contains the texinfo source files for the Reference
Manual, make-permuted-index, and the latest version of texinfo.tex,
which handles forms that cannot be handled by the older versions of
texinfo.tex.

* Report Lisp Manual bugs to [e-mail].  We don't read
these bug reports until it's time for a new edition.  To report other
Emacs bugs, use [e-mail].  To ask questions, use the
newsgroup gnu.emacs.help.

* The Emacs Lisp Reference Manual is quite large.  It totals around
900 pages in smallbook format; the info files total almost two
megabytes.

* You can format this manual either for Info or for printing hardcopy
using TeX.  

* You can buy nicely printed copies from the Free Software Foundation.
For info, send mail to [e-mail] or phone [phone].  Buying a
manual from the Free Software Foundation helps support our GNU
development work.

** This distribution contains a Makefile that you can use with GNU Make.
Otherwise, here are detailed instructions:

** HARDCOPY: A copy of the version of `texinfo.tex' that formats this
manual is included in this distribution.

The master file for formatting this manual for Tex is called
`elisp.texi'.  It contains @include commands to include all the
chapters that make up the manual.  In addition, `elisp.texi' has
the title page in a new format designed by Karl Berry, using the
@titlespec command.

To create a DVI file with a sorted index, execute the following
commands in the shell:

% ./configure
% make index.texi
% make elisp.dvi

*** To create a DVI file with a permuted index, you may experiment
with `make-permuted-index'.  

** To make an Info file, you need to install Texinfo, then run
`./configure' and `make elisp'.  To install the Info files, run
`make install'.
