I have not yet received word as to the exact statement this is. + The Apollo has a bizarre operating system which does not permit + Emacs to be dumped with preloaded pure Lisp code. Therefore, each + time you start Emacs on this system, the standard Lisp code is loaded + into it. Expect it to take a long time. You can prevent loading of + the standard Lisp code by specifying the -nl switch. It must + come at the beginning of the command line; only the -t and -batch + switches may come before it. + + There is one remaining problem on the Apollo. You must replace + the CPP line in src/Makefile with "CPP = /usr/lib/cpp". + The C preprocessor lives there rather than in /lib/cpp because the + Aegis OS uses the /lib directory as the repository for shared libraries. + + + Here is a design for a method of dumping and reloading the relevant + necessary impure areas of Emacs. + + On dumping, you need to dump only the array `pure' plus the + locations that contain values of forwarded Lisp variables or that are + protected for garbage collection. The former can be found by a + garbage- collection-like technique, and the latter are in the + staticprolist vector (see alloc.c for both things). + + Reloading would work in an Emacs that has just been started; except + when a switch is specified to inhibit this, it would read the dump + file and set all the appropriate locations.
