While we don't need to put docstrings of .elc files into etc/DOC, we still need to put those of `loaddefs.el` there since we don't have a "dynamic docstring" feature for the non-compiled files and keeping the actual docstrings in the heap would be prohibitive. * src/Makefile.in ($(etc)/DOC): Scan `lisp/loaddefs.el` still. * lib-src/make-docfile.c (scan_lisp_file): New function. (scan_file): Use it. (skip_white, read_lisp_symbol, search_lisp_doc_at_eol): New functions.
This directory contains the source code for the architecture-dependent
files that go in ${archlibdir}. At present, these are mostly utility
programs used by GNU Emacs.
