arg on an empty buffer.
(vc-directory): Better directory format --- replace the user and group IDs
with locking-user (if any).
(vc-finish-logentry, vc-next-comment, vc-previous-comment): Replace
*VC-comment-buffer* with a ring vector.
addition of new lines at end of buffer.
(up-arrow): Alias of previous-line, added for consistency.
These changes complete terminal-type-independent support for arrow keys.
to be applied manually. It's not worth trying to integrate this with
the rest of the mode more tightly until we decide whether and how
compile's interface is going to change away from a closed subsystem.
(cd-absolute): Added. This is actually the old cd code with a changed
doc string.
(parse-colon-path): Added. Path-to-string exploder --- may be useful elsewhere.
(ring-rotate): Nuked. It was (a) unused, and (b) totally broken (as in,
any attempt to use it died with a type error, and when I patched it to fix
that I found its algorithm was broken).
(ring-ref): Added doc string.
(kill-forward-chars, kill-backward-chars): Deleted. These were
internal subroutines used by delete-char and delete-backward-char
before those functions were moved into the C kernel. Now nothing uses
them.
(kill-line): Added kill-whole-line variable. Defaults to nil; a
non-nil value causes a kill-line at the beginning of a line to kill
the newline as well as the line. I find it very convenient. Emulates
Unipress' &kill-lines-magic variable.
(next-line): Added next-line-add-newlines variable. If nil, next-line will not
insert newlines when invoked at the end of a buffer. This obviates three LCD
packages.
(left-arrow, right-arrow): New functions. These do backward-char and
forward-char first. If line truncation is on, they then scroll left or
right as necessary to make sure point is visible.
detect when the makefile target or macro lists need to be rebuilt and do it
automatically; in particular, this means you no longer have to deal
with an annoying wait at find-time.
All calls changed. Do the two-step
necessary to call build_load_history with the correct current-globals
list for the current recursion.
(build_load_history): New function.
(eval_region, eval_buffer): Call readevalloop with new arg.
(load_history): New variable.
