(Voverflow_newline_into_fringe): New variable. (IT_OVERFLOW_NEWLINE_INTO_FRINGE): New macro. (move_it_in_display_line_to): Overflow newline into fringe for rows that are exactly as wide as the window. (up_arrow_bits, down_arrow_bits, first_line_bits, last_line_bits) (filled_box_cursor_bits, hollow_box_cursor_bits, bar_cursor_bits) (hbar_cursor_bits, hollow_square_bits): New fringe bitmaps. (fringe_bitmaps): Add new bitmaps. (draw_fringe_bitmap): Make extern. Remove WHICH arg. Select proper bitmap for cursor in fringe when appropriate. Handle alignment of bitmap to top or bottom of row. (draw_row_fringe_bitmaps): Don't select bitmaps here; that is now done by update_window_fringes. (update_window_fringes, draw_window_fringes): New functions. (redisplay_internal): Call update_window_fringes in case only cursor row is updated. (redisplay_window): Call update_window_fringes. Explicitly call draw_window_fringes if redisplay was done using the current matrix or the overlay arrow is in the window. (try_window_reusing_current_matrix): Mark scrolled rows for fringe update (to update buffer-boundaries / scrolling icons). (find_last_unchanged_at_beg_row): Handle exact width lines line continued lines. (display_line): Overflow newline into fringe for rows that are exactly as wide as the window. Don't append space for newline in this case. (notice_overwritten_cursor): Explicitly clear cursor bitmap in fringe as if it had been overwritten. (erase_phys_cursor): Erase cursor bitmap in fringe. (syms_of_xdisp): Mark show-trailing-whitespace and void-text-area-pointer as user options. DEFVAR_LISP Voverflow_newline_into_fringe. Enable by default.

Iso-Functional Type Contour


This is a term coined to describe "column int->float" change approach, and can
be used whenever low-level types need to change (hopefully not often!) but the
meanings of the values (whose type has changed) do not.

The premise is that changing a low-level type potentially means lots of code
needs to be changed as well, and the question is how to do this incrementally,
which is the preferred way to change things.

Say LOW and HIGH are C functions:

  int LOW (void) { return 1; }
  void HIGH (void) { int value = LOW (); }

We want to convert LOW to return float, so we cast HIGH usage:

  float LOW (void) { return 1.0; }
  void HIGH (void) { int value = (int) LOW (); }  /* iftc */

The comment /* iftc */ is used to mark this type of casting to differentiate
it from other casting.  We commit the changes and can now go about modifying
LOW and HIGH separately.  When HIGH is ready to handle the type change, the
cast can be removed.
