Make variable forwarding explicit rather the using special values. Basically, this makes the structure of buffer-local values and object forwarding explicit in the type of Lisp_Symbols rather than use special Lisp_Objects for that. This tends to lead to slightly more verbose code, but is more C-like, simpler, and makes it easier to make sure we handled all cases, among other things by letting the compiler help us check it. * lisp.h (enum Lisp_Misc_Type, union Lisp_Misc): Removing forwarding objects. (enum Lisp_Fwd_Type, enum symbol_redirect, union Lisp_Fwd): New types. (struct Lisp_Symbol): Make the various forms of variable-forwarding explicit rather than hiding them inside Lisp_Object "values". (XFWDTYPE): New macro. (XINTFWD, XBOOLFWD, XOBJFWD, XKBOARD_OBJFWD): Redefine. (XBUFFER_LOCAL_VALUE): Remove. (SYMBOL_VAL, SYMBOL_ALIAS, SYMBOL_BLV, SYMBOL_FWD, SET_SYMBOL_VAL) (SET_SYMBOL_ALIAS, SET_SYMBOL_BLV, SET_SYMBOL_FWD): New macros. (SYMBOL_VALUE, SET_SYMBOL_VALUE): Remove. (struct Lisp_Intfwd, struct Lisp_Boolfwd, struct Lisp_Objfwd) (struct Lisp_Buffer_Objfwd, struct Lisp_Kboard_Objfwd): Remove the Lisp_Misc_* header. (struct Lisp_Buffer_Local_Value): Redefine. (BLV_FOUND, SET_BLV_FOUND, BLV_VALUE, SET_BLV_VALUE): New macros. (struct Lisp_Misc_Any): Add filler to get the right size. (struct Lisp_Free): Use struct Lisp_Misc_Any rather than struct Lisp_Intfwd. (DEFVAR_LISP, DEFVAR_LISP_NOPRO, DEFVAR_BOOL, DEFVAR_INT) (DEFVAR_KBOARD): Allocate a forwarding object. * data.c (do_blv_forwarding, store_blv_forwarding): New macros.

(clone_per_buffer_values): Only adjust markers into the current buffer. (reset_buffer_local_variables): PER_BUFFER_IDX is never -2. (Fbuffer_local_value, set_buffer_internal_1) (swap_out_buffer_local_variables): Adapt to the new symbol value structure. (DEFVAR_PER_BUFFER): Allocate a Lisp_Buffer_Objfwd object. (defvar_per_buffer): Take a new arg for the fwd object. (buffer_lisp_local_variables): Return a proper alist (different fix for bug#4138). * alloc.c (Fmake_symbol): Use SET_SYMBOL_VAL. (Fgarbage_collect): Don't handle buffer_defaults specially. (mark_object): Handle new symbol value structure rather than the old special Lisp_Misc_* objects. (gc_sweep) <symbols>: Free also the buffer-local-value objects. * term.c (set_tty_color_mode): * bidi.c (bidi_initialize): Don't access the ->value field directly. * buffer.h (PER_BUFFER_VAR_OFFSET): Don't bother with a buffer_local_flags. * print.c (print_object): Get rid of impossible forwarding objects.

.SH NAME
rcs-checkin \- check files into RCS
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B rcs-checkin
.RI [ FILE .\|.\|.]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B rcs-checkin
is a helper script for checking files into RCS.  This program is
distributed with
.BR "GNU Emacs" .

This program converts files with an old
.BR Emacs -style
version history for use with the
.B "Emacs 19"
version control interface
.BR VC ,
which likes to use RCS as its back end.

For each file to be processed, the script looks for
.B Emacs
version files related to it. These files are checked in as deltas,
oldest first, so that the contents of the file itself becomes the
latest revision in the master.

The first line of each file is used as its description.  The file
itself is not deleted, as under
.B VC
with
.B vc-keep-workfiles
at its default of
.BR t ,
but all the version files are.

If an argument file is already version-controlled under RCS, any
version files are added to the list of deltas and deleted, and then
the workfile is checked in again as the latest version.  This is
probably not quite what was wanted, and is the main reason VC doesn't
simply call this to do checkins.

In order to make it easier to use
.BR "rcs-checkin *" ,
files which are detectably either RCS masters (with names ending in
.BR ,v )
or Emacs version files (with names containing
.BR ~ )
are ignored.
.
.PP
.SH OPTIONS
The program accepts no options.
.
.SH SEE ALSO
The Emacs version control interface is documented in the GNU Emacs manual,
which  you  can  read  using
.BR Info ,
either from Emacs or as a standalone program.
