Add support for large files, 64-bit Solaris, system locale codings. * Makefile.in (emacs): Set the LC_ALL environment variable to "C" when dumping, so that the dumped Emacs doesn't have stray locale info. (dired.o): Depend on systime.h. (editfns.o): Depend on coding.h. * alloc.c, buffer.c, callproc.c, ccl.c, charset.c, coding.c, data.c, dispnew.c, editfns.c, emacs.c, filelock.c, floatfns.c, hftctl.c, keyboard.c, process.c, sysdep.c, unexelf.c, unexhp9k800.c, unexsunos4.c, vmsfns.c, vmsgmalloc.c, w32faces.c, w32menu.c, w32term.c, w32xfns.c, xfaces.c, xfns.c, xmenu.c, xterm.c: Include <config.h> before any system include files. * alloc.c, buffer.c, ccl.c, data.c, editfns.c, emacs.c, eval.c, fileio.c, filelock.c, frame.c, insdel.c, keymap.c, lread.c, m/alpha.h, print.c, search.c, sysdep.c, xdisp.c, xfaces.c, xfns.c, xmenu.c, xterm.c: Do not include <stdlib.h>, as <config.h> does this now. * callproc.c (Fcall_process): Synchronize messages locale before invoking strerror. Decode resulting string with locale-coding-system. * coding.c (Vlocale_coding_system): New var. (syms_of_coding): Adjust to above change. (emacs_strerror): New function. * coding.h (emacs_strerror, Vlocale_coding_system): New decls. * config.in (HAVE_STDIO_EXT_H, HAVE_TM_GMTOFF, HAVE___FPENDING, HAVE_FTELLO, HAVE_GETLOADAVG, HAVE_MBLEN, HAVE_MBRLEN, HAVE_STRSIGNAL): New macros. (BITS_PER_LONG): Default to 64 if _LP64 is defined. <stdlib.h>: Include if HAVE_STDLIB_H is defined and NOT_C_CODE isn't. * dired.c: Include "systime.h". (Ffile_attributes): Do not cast s.st_size to int; this loses information if int is 32 bits but st_size and EMACS_INT are larger. Treat large device numbers like large inode numbers. * dispnew.c (PENDING_OUTPUT_COUNT): Use __fpending if available. * editfns.c: Include coding.h. (emacs_strftime): Remove decl. (emacs_strftimeu): New decl. (emacs_memftimeu): Renamed from emacs_memftime; new arg UT. Use emacs_strftimeu instead of emacs_strftime. (Fformat_time_string): Convert format string using Vlocale_coding_system, and convert result back. Synchronize time locale before invoking lower level function. Invoke emacs_memftimeu, passing ut, instead of emacs_memftime. * emacs.c: Include <locale.h> if HAVE_SETLOCALE is defined. (Vmessages_locale, Vprevious_messages_locale, Vtime_locale, Vprevious_time_locale): New variables. (main): Invoke setlocale early, so that initial error messages are localized properly. But skip locale-setting if LC_ALL is "C". Fix up locale when it's safe to do so. (fixup_locale): Moved here from xterm.c. (synchronize_locale, synchronize_time_locale, synchronize_messages_locale): New functions. (syms_of_emacs): Accommodate above changes. * fileio.c (report_file_error): Convert strerror output according to Vlocale_coding_system. (Finsert_file_contents): Check for arithmetic overflow in computations that depend on file size. Report IO errors with emacs_strerror, not strerror. * fns.c (Fgethash): Declare dflt parameter. * gmalloc.c: Do not define const to nothing if HAVE_CONFIG_H is defined; that's config.h's job. * lisp.h (EMACS_INT, BITS_PER_EMACS_INT, EMACS_UINT): If _LP64, default these values to long, BITS_PER_LONG, and unsigned long. (VALBITS, MARKBIT, XINT): Do not assume 32-bit EMACS_INT. (PNTR_COMPARISON_TYPE): Default to EMACS_UINT, not to unsigned int. (code_convert_string_norecord, fixup_locale, synchronize_messages_locale, synchronize_time_locale, emacs_open, emacs_close, emacs_read, emacs_write): New decls. All Emacs callers of open, close, read, write changed to use emacs_open, emacs_close, emacs_read, emacs_write. * lread.c (file_offset, file_tell): New macros. All uses of ftell changed to file_tell. (saved_doc_string_position, prev_saved_doc_string_position): Now of type file_offset. (init_lread): Do not fix locale here; fixup_locale now does this. * m/amdahl.h, s/usg5-4.h: (NSIG): Remove. (NSIG_MINIMUM): New macro. * m/cydra5.h, m/dpx2.h, m/mips.h, m/pfa50.h, m/sps7.h, m/stride.h, m/ustation.h, s/gnu-linux.h, s/hpux.h, s/iris3-5.h, s/iris3-6.h, s/umips.h, s/usg5-4.h: (SIGIO): Do not undef. (BROKEN_SIGIO): New macro. * m/ustation.h: (SIGTSTP): Do not undef. (BROKEN_SIGTSTP): New macro. * s/gnu-linux.h: (SIGPOLL, SIGURG): Do not undef. (BROKEN_SIGPOLL, BROKEN_SIGURG): New macros. * s/ptx4.h: (SIGINFO): Do not undef. (BROKEN_SIGINFO): New macros. * m/delta.h, s/ptx.h, s/template.h: Doc fix. * mktime.c, strftime.c: Update to glibc 2.1.2 version, with some Emacs-related changes merged. * print.c (float_to_string): Prepend "-" to representation of a NaN if the NaN is negative. * process.c (sys_siglist): Omit if HAVE_STRSIGNAL. (wait_reading_process_input): Use emacs_strerror, not strerror. * process.c (status_message, sigchld_handler): Synchronize locale, then use strsignal istead of sys_siglist. * w32proc.c (sys_wait): Likewise. * s/aix3-1.h, s/bsd4-1.h, s/dgux.h, s/gnu-linux.h, s/hiuxmpp.h, s/hpux.h, s/iris3-5.h, s/iris3-6.h, s/irix3-3.h, s/osf1.h, s/rtu.h, s/sunos4-1.h, s/unipl5-0.h, s/unipl5-2.h, s/usg5-0.h, s/usg5-2-2.h, s/usg5-2.h, s/usg5-3.h, s/xenix.h: (open, close, read, write, INTERRUPTIBLE_OPEN, INTERRUPTIBLE_CLOSE, INTERRUPTIBLE_IO): Remove. * s/sol2-5.h (_LARGEFILE_SOURCE, _FILE_OFFSET_BITS): New macros. * sysdep.c (sys_read, sys_write, read, write, sys_close, close, sys_open, open): Remove. (emacs_open, emacs_close, emacs_read, emacs_write): Always define; the old INTERRUPTIBLE_OPEN, INTERRUPTIBLE_CLOSE, and INTERRUPTIBLE_IO macros are no longer used. (emacs_open): Renamed from sys_open. Merge BSD4_1 version. (emacs_close): Renamed from sys_close. (emacs_read): Renamed from sys_read. (emacs_write): Renamed from sys_write. (sys_siglist): Do not declare if HAVE_STRSIGNAL. (dup2): Do not print error on failure; the real dup2 doesn't. (strsignal): New function, defined if !HAVE_STRSIGNAL. * syssignal.h (SIGINFO): Undef if defined and if BROKEN_SIGINFO is defined. (SIGIO, SIGPOLL, SIGTSTP, SIGURG): Likewise. (NSIG): If less than NSIG_MINIMUM, define to NSIG_MINIMUM. (strsignal): Declare if !HAVE_STRSIGNAL. * unexelf.c (ElfBitsW, ELFSIZE, ElfExpandBitsW): New macros. (ElfW): Define in terms of ElfExpandBitsW. * w32proc.c (sys_siglist): Remove decl. * xdisp.c (decode_mode_spec): 3rd arg is int, not char, to comply with ANSI C. (display_string): Declare face_string_pos arg. * xfns.c (Fx_show_tip): Declare timeout param. * xterm.c: No need to include locale.h. (x_alloc_lighter_color, x_setup_relief_color): Pass arg as double, not float, for compatibility with ANSI C. (fixup_locale): Move to emacs.c. (x_term_init): Do not setlocale or fixup locale; the main program does this now.

This directory tree holds version 20.0 of GNU Emacs, the extensible,
customizable, self-documenting real-time display editor.

You may encounter bugs in this release.  If you do, please report
them; your bug reports are valuable contributions to the FSF, since
they allow us to notice and fix problems on machines we don't have, or
in code we don't use often.  See the file BUGS for more information on
how to report bugs.

See the files `etc/NEWS' and `etc/news.texi' for information on new
features and other user-visible changes since the last version of
Emacs.

The file INSTALL in this directory says how to bring up GNU Emacs on
Unix, once you have loaded the entire subtree of this directory.

The file etc/PROBLEMS contains information on many common problems that
occur in building, installing and running Emacs.

Reports of bugs in Emacs should be sent to the mailing list
[e-mail].  See the "Bugs" section of the Emacs
manual for more information on how to report bugs.  (The file `BUGS'
in this directory explains how you can find and read that section
using the Info files that come with Emacs.)  See `etc/MAILINGLISTS'
for more information on mailing lists relating to GNU packages.

The `etc' subdirectory contains several other files, named in
capital letters, which you should look at when installing GNU Emacs.

The file `configure' is a shell script to acclimate Emacs to the
oddities of your processor and operating system.  It creates the file
`Makefile' (a script for the `make' program), which automates the
process of building and installing Emacs.  See INSTALL for more
detailed information.

The file `configure.in' is the input used by the autoconf program to
construct the `configure' script.  Since Emacs has configuration
requirements that autoconf can't meet, `configure.in' uses an unholy
marriage of custom-baked configuration code and autoconf macros; it
may be wise to avoid rebuilding `configure' from `configure.in' when
possible.

The file `Makefile.in' is a template used by `configure' to create
`Makefile'.

The file `make-dist' is a shell script to build a distribution tar
file from the current Emacs tree, containing only those files
appropriate for distribution.  If you make extensive changes to Emacs,
this script will help you distribute your version to others.

There are several subdirectories:

`src' holds the C code for Emacs (the Emacs Lisp interpreter and its
    primitives, the redisplay code, and some basic editing functions).
`lisp' holds the Emacs Lisp code for Emacs (most everything else).
`lib-src' holds the source code for some utility programs for use by
    or with Emacs, like movemail and etags.
`etc' holds miscellaneous architecture-independent data files
    Emacs uses, like the tutorial text and the Zippy the Pinhead quote
    database.  The contents of the `lisp', `info' and `man'
    subdirectories are architecture-independent too.

`info' holds the Info documentation tree for Emacs.
`man' holds the source code for the Emacs manual.

   Note that the Emacs Lisp manual sources are distributed separately.
(They are twice as large as the Emacs manual in the man subdirectory.)

`msdos' holds configuration files for compiling Emacs under MSDOG.
`vms' holds instructions and useful files for running Emacs under VMS.
`nt' holds various command files and documentation files that pertain
    to running Emacs on Windows NT.
