(get_tag): Return a pointer to the tag that is found. general cleanup and streamlining * etags.c (LOOKING_AT): Use !intoken instead of iswhite. (F_takeprec): Renamed from takeprec. All callers changed. (F_getit): Renamed from getit. All callers changed. (nocase_tail): Renamed from tail. All callers changed. (Ada_getit): Renamed from adagetit. All callers changed. (L_getit): Simplified by using get_tag. (Perl_functions, Postscript_functions, erlang_attribute): Use the modified LOOKING_AT. (notinname): Removed '[' and added ')' to the recognised chars. (LOOKING_AT, get_tag, PHP_functions): Use notinname. (Ada_getit, Ada_funcs, Python_functions, Scheme_functions): Clarified, using strneq or notinname. (L_isdef, L_isquote): Removed. (Lisp_functions, L_getit): Clarified. changes for standalone compilation * etags.c: (P_): Renamed to __P for consistency with config.h. [HAVE_CONFIG_H]: Let config.h deal with __P. [__STDC__] [!HAVE_CONFIG_H]: Define PTR as in config.h. [!__STDC__] [!HAVE_CONFIG_H]: Do not undefine static, because gperf code needs it. [HAVE_CONFIG_H] [!PTR]: Define PTR (for use with Xemacs). [HAVE_CONFIG_H] [!__P]: Define __P (for use with Xemacs). (xmalloc, xrealloc): Use PTR instead of long *. (bool): Make it a define, not a typedef, for C++ compilers.

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 P in Emacs) to
make sure it isn't a known issue.
