changeset 6038:2f1deaa86ee2

Removed all support for Emacs-18: Removed autoload for `backquote'. Removed arglist specifications for `documentation' and `fset'. (ad-emacs19-p, ad-use-jwz-compiler): Removed these variables. (ad-lemacs-p, ad-v19-compiled-p, ad-subr-arglist, ad-make-advised-docstring): Removed reference to `ad-emacs19-p'. (ad-compiled-p): Renamed from `ad-v19-compiled-p'. Removed old definition of `ad-compiled-p'. (ad-compiled-code): Renamed from `ad-v19-compiled-code'. (ad-arglists, ad-docstring, ad-interactive-form): Use new names. (ad-body-forms): Always return nil for compiled definitions. (ad-compile-function): Simplified, because the v19 incarnation of `byte-compile' can compile macros. (ad-real-byte-codify): Removed. (ad-execute-defadvices): Removed. The `defadvice's it contained are now at the top level. (ad-advised-byte-code-definition): Renamed to `ad-advised-byte-code' and removed the definition of `ad-advised-byte-code' via `fset'. (ad-advised-byte-code-definition, ad-recover-byte-code, ad-stop-advice, ad-recover-normality): Removed `ad-real-byte-codify'-cation of their definitions. (ad-adjust-stack-sizes): Removed. (ad-enable-definition-hooks, ad-disable-definition-hooks): Removed v19 conditionalization. Fixed the problematic interaction between the byte-compiler and Advice when `ad-activate-on-definition' was t which resulted in erroneous compilation of nested `defun/defmacro's: (byte-compile-from-buffer, byte-compile-top-level): Advised to temporarily deactivate the advice of `defun/defmacro'. (ad-advised-definers, ad-advised-byte-compilers): New variables. (ad-enable-definition-hooks, ad-disable-definition-hooks): En/disable the advised byte-compiler entry points. (defadvice): Implement a `freeze' option which expands the `defadvice' into a redefining and dumpable `defun/defmacro' whose documentation can be written to the `DOC' file. Frozen advices cannot be undone, hence, they do not need any Advice runtime support. (ad-defadvice-flags): Add `freeze' flag. (ad-make-advised-docstring, ad-make-single-advice-docstring): New STYLE option for `plain' and `freeze' styles. Slightly changed the default formatting of advised docstrings. (ad-make-plain-docstring, ad-make-freeze-docstring): New functions. (ad-recover-all, ad-scan-byte-code-for-fsets): Removed unused condition variable `ignore-errors'. (ad-save-real-definition): New macro to save real definitions of functions used by Advice. Use `ad-save-real-definition' to save definitions of `fset', `byte-code' and now also `documentation'. (ad-subr-arglist, ad-docstring, ad-make-advised-docstring): Use `ad-real-documentation' to avoid interference with the advised version of `documentation'. (ad-execute-defadvices): Copy advice infos. (ad-start-advice-on-load): Default changed to t.

 ;; =====================================
-;; Advice has enough features now to justify an info file, however, I
-;; didn't have the time yet to do all the necessary formatting. So,
-;; until I do have the time or some kind soul does it for me I crammed
-;; everything into the source file. Because about 50% of this file is
-;; documentation it should be in outline-mode by default, but it is not.
-;; If you choose to use outline-mode set `outline-regexp' to `";; @+"'
-;; and use `M-x hide-body' to see just the headings. Use the various
-;; other outline-mode functions to move around in the text. If you use
-;; Lucid Emacs, you'll just have to wait until `selective-display'
-;; works properly in order to be able to use outline-mode, sorry.
-;;
-;; And yes, I know: Documentation is for wimps.
