Note that -the same character may be drawn by two different people (or in two -different fonts) in slightly different ways, although the "basic shape" -will be the same. But consider the works of Scott Kim; human beings -can recognize hugely variant shapes as the "same" character. -Sometimes, especially where characters are extremely complicated to -write, completely different shapes may be defined as the "same" -character in national standards. The Taiwanese variant of Hanzi is -generally the most complicated; over the centuries, the Japanese, -Koreans, and the People's Republic of China have adopted -simplifications of the shape, but the line of descent from the original -shape is recorded, and the meanings and pronunciation of different -forms of the same character are considered to be identical within each -language. (Of course, it may take a specialist to recognize the -related form; the point is that the relations are standardized, despite -the differing shapes.) - - In some cases, the differences will be significant enough that it is -actually possible to identify two or more distinct shapes that both -represent the same character. For example, the lowercase letters `a' -and `g' each have two distinct possible shapes--the `a' can optionally -have a curved tail projecting off the top, and the `g' can be formed -either of two loops, or of one loop and a tail hanging off the bottom. -Such distinct possible shapes of a character are called "glyphs". The -important characteristic of two glyphs making up the same character is -that the choice between one or the other is purely stylistic and has no -linguistic effect on a word (this is the reason why a capital `A' and -lowercase `a' are different characters rather than different -glyphs--e.g. `Aspen' is a city while `aspen' is a kind of tree). - - Note that "character" and "glyph" are used differently here than -elsewhere in XEmacs. - - A "character set" is essentially a set of related characters. ASCII, -for example, is a set of 94 characters (or 128, if you count -non-printing characters). Other character sets are ISO8859-1 (ASCII -plus various accented characters and other international symbols), JIS -X 0201 (ASCII, more or less, plus half-width Katakana), JIS X 0208 -(Japanese Kanji), JIS X 0212 (a second set of less-used Japanese Kanji), -GB2312 (Mainland Chinese Hanzi), etc. - - The definition of a character set will implicitly or explicitly give -it an "ordering", a way of assigning a number to each character in the -set. For many character sets, there is a natural ordering, for example -the "ABC" ordering of the Roman letters. But it is not clear whether -digits should come before or after the letters, and in fact different -European languages treat the ordering of accented characters -differently. It is useful to use the natural order where available, of -course. The number assigned to any particular character is called the -character's "code point". (Within a given character set, each -character has a unique code point. Thus the word "set" is ill-chosen; -different orderings of the same characters are different character sets. -Identifying characters is simple enough for alphabetic character sets, -but the difference in ordering can cause great headaches when the same -thousands of characters are used by different cultures as in the Hanzi.) - - A code point may be broken into a number of "position codes". The -number of position codes required to index a particular character in a -character set is called the "dimension" of the character set. For -practical purposes, a position code may be thought of as a byte-sized -index. The printing characters of ASCII, being a relatively small -character set, is of dimension one, and each character in the set is -indexed using a single position code, in the range 1 through 94. Use of -this unusual range, rather than the familiar 33 through 126, is an -intentional abstraction; to understand the programming issues you must -break the equation between character sets and encodings. - - JIS X 0208, i.e. Japanese Kanji, has thousands of characters, and is -of dimension two - every character is indexed by two position codes, -each in the range 1 through 94. (This number "94" is not a -coincidence; we shall see that the JIS position codes were chosen so -that JIS kanji could be encoded without using codes that in ASCII are -associated with device control functions.) Note that the choice of the -range here is somewhat arbitrary. You could just as easily index the -printing characters in ASCII using numbers in the range 0 through 93, 2 -through 95, 3 through 96, etc. In fact, the standardized _encoding_ -for the ASCII _character set_ uses the range 33 through 126. - - An "encoding" is a way of numerically representing characters from -one or more character sets into a stream of like-sized numerical values -called "words"; typically these are 8-bit, 16-bit, or 32-bit -quantities. If an encoding encompasses only one character set, then the -position codes for the characters in that character set could be used -directly. (This is the case with the trivial cipher used by children, -assigning 1 to `A', 2 to `B', and so on.) However, even with ASCII, -other considerations intrude. For example, why are the upper- and -lowercase alphabets separated by 8 characters? Why do the digits start -with `0' being assigned the code 48? In both cases because semantically -interesting operations (case conversion and numerical value extraction) -become convenient masking operations. Other artificial aspects (the -control characters being assigned to codes 0-31 and 127) are historical -accidents. (The use of 127 for `DEL' is an artifact of the "punch -once" nature of paper tape, for example.) - - Naive use of the position code is not possible, however, if more than -one character set is to be used in the encoding. For example, printed -Japanese text typically requires characters from multiple character sets -- ASCII, JIS X 0208, and JIS X 0212, to be specific. Each of these is -indexed using one or more position codes in the range 1 through 94, so -the position codes could not be used directly or there would be no way -to tell which character was meant. Different Japanese encodings handle -this differently - JIS uses special escape characters to denote -different character sets; EUC sets the high bit of the position codes -for JIS X 0208 and JIS X 0212, and puts a special extra byte before each -JIS X 0212 character; etc. (JIS, EUC, and most of the other encodings -you will encounter in files are 7-bit or 8-bit encodings. There is one -common 16-bit encoding, which is Unicode; this strives to represent all -the world's characters in a single large character set. 32-bit -encodings are often used internally in programs, such as XEmacs with -MULE support, to simplify the code that manipulates them; however, they -are not used externally because they are not very space-efficient.) - - A general method of handling text using multiple character sets -(whether for multilingual text, or simply text in an extremely -complicated single language like Japanese) is defined in the -international standard ISO 2022. ISO 2022 will be discussed in more -detail later (*note ISO 2022::), but for now suffice it to say that text -needs control functions (at least spacing), and if escape sequences are -to be used, an escape sequence introducer. It was decided to make all -text streams compatible with ASCII in the sense that the codes 0-31 -(and 128-159) would always be control codes, never graphic characters, -and where defined by the character set the `SPC' character would be -assigned code 32, and `DEL' would be assigned 127. Thus there are 94 -code points remaining if 7 bits are used. This is the reason that most -character sets are defined using position codes in the range 1 through -94. Then ISO 2022 compatible encodings are produced by shifting the -position codes 1 to 94 into character codes 33 to 126, or (if 8 bit -codes are available) into character codes 161 to 254. - - Encodings are classified as either "modal" or "non-modal". In a -"modal encoding", there are multiple states that the encoding can be -in, and the interpretation of the values in the stream depends on the -current global state of the encoding. Special values in the encoding, -called "escape sequences", are used to change the global state. JIS, -for example, is a modal encoding. The bytes `ESC $ B' indicate that, -from then on, bytes are to be interpreted as position codes for JIS X -0208, rather than as ASCII. This effect is cancelled using the bytes -`ESC ( B', which mean "switch from whatever the current state is to -ASCII". To switch to JIS X 0212, the escape sequence `ESC $ ( D'. -(Note that here, as is common, the escape sequences do in fact begin -with `ESC'. This is not necessarily the case, however. Some encodings -use control characters called "locking shifts" (effect persists until -cancelled) to switch character sets.) - - A "non-modal encoding" has no global state that extends past the -character currently being interpreted. EUC, for example, is a -non-modal encoding. Characters in JIS X 0208 are encoded by setting -the high bit of the position codes, and characters in JIS X 0212 are -encoded by doing the same but also prefixing the character with the -byte 0x8F. - - The advantage of a modal encoding is that it is generally more -space-efficient, and is easily extendable because there are essentially -an arbitrary number of escape sequences that can be created. The -disadvantage, however, is that it is much more difficult to work with -if it is not being processed in a sequential manner. In the non-modal -EUC encoding, for example, the byte 0x41 always refers to the letter -`A'; whereas in JIS, it could either be the letter `A', or one of the -two position codes in a JIS X 0208 character, or one of the two -position codes in a JIS X 0212 character. Determining exactly which -one is meant could be difficult and time-consuming if the previous -bytes in the string have not already been processed, or impossible if -they are drawn from an external stream that cannot be rewound. - - Non-modal encodings are further divided into "fixed-width" and -"variable-width" formats. A fixed-width encoding always uses the same -number of words per character, whereas a variable-width encoding does -not. EUC is a good example of a variable-width encoding: one to three -bytes are used per character, depending on the character set. 16-bit -and 32-bit encodings are nearly always fixed-width, and this is in fact -one of the main reasons for using an encoding with a larger word size. -The advantages of fixed-width encodings should be obvious. The -advantages of variable-width encodings are that they are generally more -space-efficient and allow for compatibility with existing 8-bit -encodings such as ASCII. (For example, in Unicode ASCII characters are -simply promoted to a 16-bit representation. That means that every -ASCII character contains a `NUL' byte; evidently all of the standard -string manipulation functions will lose badly in a fixed-width Unicode -environment.) - - The bytes in an 8-bit encoding are often referred to as "octets" -rather than simply as bytes. This terminology dates back to the days -before 8-bit bytes were universal, when some computers had 9-bit bytes, -others had 10-bit bytes, etc. - - -File: lispref.info, Node: Charsets, Next: MULE Characters, Prev: Internationalization Terminology, Up: MULE - -Charsets -======== - - A "charset" in MULE is an object that encapsulates a particular -character set as well as an ordering of those characters.

Note that +the same character may be drawn by two different people (or in two +different fonts) in slightly different ways, although the "basic shape" +will be the same. But consider the works of Scott Kim; human beings +can recognize hugely variant shapes as the "same" character. +Sometimes, especially where characters are extremely complicated to +write, completely different shapes may be defined as the "same" +character in national standards. The Taiwanese variant of Hanzi is +generally the most complicated; over the centuries, the Japanese, +Koreans, and the People's Republic of China have adopted +simplifications of the shape, but the line of descent from the original +shape is recorded, and the meanings and pronunciation of different +forms of the same character are considered to be identical within each +language. (Of course, it may take a specialist to recognize the +related form; the point is that the relations are standardized, despite +the differing shapes.) + + In some cases, the differences will be significant enough that it is +actually possible to identify two or more distinct shapes that both +represent the same character. For example, the lowercase letters `a' +and `g' each have two distinct possible shapes--the `a' can optionally +have a curved tail projecting off the top, and the `g' can be formed +either of two loops, or of one loop and a tail hanging off the bottom. +Such distinct possible shapes of a character are called "glyphs". The +important characteristic of two glyphs making up the same character is +that the choice between one or the other is purely stylistic and has no +linguistic effect on a word (this is the reason why a capital `A' and +lowercase `a' are different characters rather than different +glyphs--e.g. `Aspen' is a city while `aspen' is a kind of tree). + + Note that "character" and "glyph" are used differently here than +elsewhere in XEmacs. + + A "character set" is essentially a set of related characters. ASCII, +for example, is a set of 94 characters (or 128, if you count +non-printing characters). Other character sets are ISO8859-1 (ASCII +plus various accented characters and other international symbols), JIS +X 0201 (ASCII, more or less, plus half-width Katakana), JIS X 0208 +(Japanese Kanji), JIS X 0212 (a second set of less-used Japanese Kanji), +GB2312 (Mainland Chinese Hanzi), etc. + + The definition of a character set will implicitly or explicitly give +it an "ordering", a way of assigning a number to each character in the +set. For many character sets, there is a natural ordering, for example +the "ABC" ordering of the Roman letters. But it is not clear whether +digits should come before or after the letters, and in fact different +European languages treat the ordering of accented characters +differently. It is useful to use the natural order where available, of +course. The number assigned to any particular character is called the +character's "code point". (Within a given character set, each +character has a unique code point. Thus the word "set" is ill-chosen; +different orderings of the same characters are different character sets. +Identifying characters is simple enough for alphabetic character sets, +but the difference in ordering can cause great headaches when the same +thousands of characters are used by different cultures as in the Hanzi.) + + A code point may be broken into a number of "position codes". The +number of position codes required to index a particular character in a +character set is called the "dimension" of the character set. For +practical purposes, a position code may be thought of as a byte-sized +index. The printing characters of ASCII, being a relatively small +character set, is of dimension one, and each character in the set is +indexed using a single position code, in the range 1 through 94. Use of +this unusual range, rather than the familiar 33 through 126, is an +intentional abstraction; to understand the programming issues you must +break the equation between character sets and encodings. + + JIS X 0208, i.e. Japanese Kanji, has thousands of characters, and is +of dimension two - every character is indexed by two position codes, +each in the range 1 through 94. (This number "94" is not a +coincidence; we shall see that the JIS position codes were chosen so +that JIS kanji could be encoded without using codes that in ASCII are +associated with device control functions.) Note that the choice of the +range here is somewhat arbitrary. You could just as easily index the +printing characters in ASCII using numbers in the range 0 through 93, 2 +through 95, 3 through 96, etc. In fact, the standardized _encoding_ +for the ASCII _character set_ uses the range 33 through 126. + + An "encoding" is a way of numerically representing characters from +one or more character sets into a stream of like-sized numerical values +called "words"; typically these are 8-bit, 16-bit, or 32-bit +quantities. If an encoding encompasses only one character set, then the +position codes for the characters in that character set could be used +directly. (This is the case with the trivial cipher used by children, +assigning 1 to `A', 2 to `B', and so on.) However, even with ASCII, +other considerations intrude. For example, why are the upper- and +lowercase alphabets separated by 8 characters? Why do the digits start +with `0' being assigned the code 48? In both cases because semantically +interesting operations (case conversion and numerical value extraction) +become convenient masking operations. Other artificial aspects (the +control characters being assigned to codes 0-31 and 127) are historical +accidents. (The use of 127 for `DEL' is an artifact of the "punch +once" nature of paper tape, for example.) + + Naive use of the position code is not possible, however, if more than +one character set is to be used in the encoding. For example, printed +Japanese text typically requires characters from multiple character sets +- ASCII, JIS X 0208, and JIS X 0212, to be specific. Each of these is +indexed using one or more position codes in the range 1 through 94, so +the position codes could not be used directly or there would be no way +to tell which character was meant. Different Japanese encodings handle +this differently - JIS uses special escape characters to denote +different character sets; EUC sets the high bit of the position codes +for JIS X 0208 and JIS X 0212, and puts a special extra byte before each +JIS X 0212 character; etc. (JIS, EUC, and most of the other encodings +you will encounter in files are 7-bit or 8-bit encodings. There is one +common 16-bit encoding, which is Unicode; this strives to represent all +the world's characters in a single large character set. 32-bit +encodings are often used internally in programs, such as XEmacs with +MULE support, to simplify the code that manipulates them; however, they +are not used externally because they are not very space-efficient.) + + A general method of handling text using multiple character sets +(whether for multilingual text, or simply text in an extremely +complicated single language like Japanese) is defined in the +international standard ISO 2022. ISO 2022 will be discussed in more +detail later (*note ISO 2022::), but for now suffice it to say that text +needs control functions (at least spacing), and if escape sequences are +to be used, an escape sequence introducer. It was decided to make all +text streams compatible with ASCII in the sense that the codes 0-31 +(and 128-159) would always be control codes, never graphic characters, +and where defined by the character set the `SPC' character would be +assigned code 32, and `DEL' would be assigned 127. Thus there are 94 +code points remaining if 7 bits are used. This is the reason that most +character sets are defined using position codes in the range 1 through +94. Then ISO 2022 compatible encodings are produced by shifting the +position codes 1 to 94 into character codes 33 to 126, or (if 8 bit +codes are available) into character codes 161 to 254. + + Encodings are classified as either "modal" or "non-modal". In a +"modal encoding", there are multiple states that the encoding can be +in, and the interpretation of the values in the stream depends on the +current global state of the encoding. Special values in the encoding, +called "escape sequences", are used to change the global state. JIS, +for example, is a modal encoding. The bytes `ESC $ B' indicate that, +from then on, bytes are to be interpreted as position codes for JIS X +0208, rather than as ASCII. This effect is cancelled using the bytes +`ESC ( B', which mean "switch from whatever the current state is to +ASCII". To switch to JIS X 0212, the escape sequence `ESC $ ( D'. +(Note that here, as is common, the escape sequences do in fact begin +with `ESC'. This is not necessarily the case, however. Some encodings +use control characters called "locking shifts" (effect persists until +cancelled) to switch character sets.) + + A "non-modal encoding" has no global state that extends past the +character currently being interpreted. EUC, for example, is a +non-modal encoding. Characters in JIS X 0208 are encoded by setting +the high bit of the position codes, and characters in JIS X 0212 are +encoded by doing the same but also prefixing the character with the +byte 0x8F. + + The advantage of a modal encoding is that it is generally more +space-efficient, and is easily extendable because there are essentially +an arbitrary number of escape sequences that can be created. The +disadvantage, however, is that it is much more difficult to work with +if it is not being processed in a sequential manner. In the non-modal +EUC encoding, for example, the byte 0x41 always refers to the letter +`A'; whereas in JIS, it could either be the letter `A', or one of the +two position codes in a JIS X 0208 character, or one of the two +position codes in a JIS X 0212 character. Determining exactly which +one is meant could be difficult and time-consuming if the previous +bytes in the string have not already been processed, or impossible if +they are drawn from an external stream that cannot be rewound. + + Non-modal encodings are further divided into "fixed-width" and +"variable-width" formats. A fixed-width encoding always uses the same +number of words per character, whereas a variable-width encoding does +not. EUC is a good example of a variable-width encoding: one to three +bytes are used per character, depending on the character set. 16-bit +and 32-bit encodings are nearly always fixed-width, and this is in fact +one of the main reasons for using an encoding with a larger word size. +The advantages of fixed-width encodings should be obvious. The +advantages of variable-width encodings are that they are generally more +space-efficient and allow for compatibility with existing 8-bit +encodings such as ASCII. (For example, in Unicode ASCII characters are +simply promoted to a 16-bit representation. That means that every +ASCII character contains a `NUL' byte; evidently all of the standard +string manipulation functions will lose badly in a fixed-width Unicode +environment.) + + The bytes in an 8-bit encoding are often referred to as "octets" +rather than simply as bytes. This terminology dates back to the days +before 8-bit bytes were universal, when some computers had 9-bit bytes, +others had 10-bit bytes, etc. + + +File: lispref.info, Node: Charsets, Next: MULE Characters, Prev: Internationalization Terminology, Up: MULE + +Charsets +======== + + A "charset" in MULE is an object that encapsulates a particular +character set as well as an ordering of those characters.

Modes such as Dired, - Info, Compilation, and Occur redefine it in this way. - - * When a package provides a modification of ordinary Emacs behavior, - it is good to include a command to enable and disable the feature, - Provide a command named `WHATEVER-mode' which turns the feature on - or off, and make it autoload (*note Autoload::). Design the - package so that simply loading it has no visible effect--that - should not enable the feature. Users will request the feature by - invoking the command. - - * It is a bad idea to define aliases for the Emacs primitives. Use - the standard names instead. - - * Redefining an Emacs primitive is an even worse idea. It may do - the right thing for a particular program, but there is no telling - what other programs might break as a result. - - * If a file does replace any of the functions or library programs of - standard XEmacs, prominent comments at the beginning of the file - should say which functions are replaced, and how the behavior of - the replacements differs from that of the originals. - - * Please keep the names of your XEmacs Lisp source files to 13 - characters or less. This way, if the files are compiled, the - compiled files' names will be 14 characters or less, which is - short enough to fit on all kinds of Unix systems. - - * Don't use `next-line' or `previous-line' in programs; nearly - always, `forward-line' is more convenient as well as more - predictable and robust. *Note Text Lines::. - - * Don't call functions that set the mark, unless setting the mark is - one of the intended features of your program. The mark is a - user-level feature, so it is incorrect to change the mark except - to supply a value for the user's benefit. *Note The Mark::. - - In particular, don't use these functions: - - * `beginning-of-buffer', `end-of-buffer' - - * `replace-string', `replace-regexp' - - If you just want to move point, or replace a certain string, - without any of the other features intended for interactive users, - you can replace these functions with one or two lines of simple - Lisp code. - - * Use lists rather than vectors, except when there is a particular - reason to use a vector. Lisp has more facilities for manipulating - lists than for vectors, and working with lists is usually more - convenient. - - Vectors are advantageous for tables that are substantial in size - and are accessed in random order (not searched front to back), - provided there is no need to insert or delete elements (only lists - allow that). - - * The recommended way to print a message in the echo area is with - the `message' function, not `princ'. *Note The Echo Area::. - - * When you encounter an error condition, call the function `error' - (or `signal'). The function `error' does not return. *Note - Signaling Errors::. - - Do not use `message', `throw', `sleep-for', or `beep' to report - errors. - - * An error message should start with a capital letter but should not - end with a period. - - * Try to avoid using recursive edits. Instead, do what the Rmail `e' - command does: use a new local keymap that contains one command - defined to switch back to the old local keymap. Or do what the - `edit-options' command does: switch to another buffer and let the - user switch back at will. *Note Recursive Editing::. - - * In some other systems there is a convention of choosing variable - names that begin and end with `*'. We don't use that convention - in Emacs Lisp, so please don't use it in your programs. (Emacs - uses such names only for program-generated buffers.) The users - will find Emacs more coherent if all libraries use the same - conventions. - - * Indent each function with `C-M-q' (`indent-sexp') using the - default indentation parameters. - - * Don't make a habit of putting close-parentheses on lines by - themselves; Lisp programmers find this disconcerting. Once in a - while, when there is a sequence of many consecutive - close-parentheses, it may make sense to split them in one or two - significant places. - - * Please put a copyright notice on the file if you give copies to - anyone. Use the same lines that appear at the top of the Lisp - files in XEmacs itself.

See the file - `profile.el' for instructions. - - * Use iteration rather than recursion whenever possible. Function - calls are slow in XEmacs Lisp even when a compiled function is - calling another compiled function. - - * Using the primitive list-searching functions `memq', `member', - `assq', or `assoc' is even faster than explicit iteration. It may - be worth rearranging a data structure so that one of these - primitive search functions can be used. - - * Certain built-in functions are handled specially in byte-compiled - code, avoiding the need for an ordinary function call. It is a - good idea to use these functions rather than alternatives. To see - whether a function is handled specially by the compiler, examine - its `byte-compile' property. If the property is non-`nil', then - the function is handled specially. - - For example, the following input will show you that `aref' is - compiled specially (*note Array Functions::) while `elt' is not - (*note Sequence Functions::): - - (get 'aref 'byte-compile) - => byte-compile-two-args - - (get 'elt 'byte-compile) - => nil - - * If calling a small function accounts for a substantial part of - your program's running time, make the function inline. This - eliminates the function call overhead. Since making a function - inline reduces the flexibility of changing the program, don't do - it unless it gives a noticeable speedup in something slow enough - that users care about the speed. *Note Inline Functions::. - - -File: lispref.info, Node: Documentation Tips, Next: Comment Tips, Prev: Compilation Tips, Up: Tips - -Tips for Documentation Strings -============================== - - Here are some tips for the writing of documentation strings. - - * Every command, function, or variable intended for users to know - about should have a documentation string. - - * An internal variable or subroutine of a Lisp program might as well - have a documentation string. In earlier Emacs versions, you could - save space by using a comment instead of a documentation string, - but that is no longer the case. - - * The first line of the documentation string should consist of one - or two complete sentences that stand on their own as a summary. - `M-x apropos' displays just the first line, and if it doesn't - stand on its own, the result looks bad. In particular, start the - first line with a capital letter and end with a period. - - The documentation string can have additional lines that expand on - the details of how to use the function or variable. The - additional lines should be made up of complete sentences also, but - they may be filled if that looks good. - - * For consistency, phrase the verb in the first sentence of a - documentation string as an infinitive with "to" omitted. For - instance, use "Return the cons of A and B." in preference to - "Returns the cons of A and B." Usually it looks good to do - likewise for the rest of the first paragraph. Subsequent - paragraphs usually look better if they have proper subjects. - - * Write documentation strings in the active voice, not the passive, - and in the present tense, not the future. For instance, use - "Return a list containing A and B." instead of "A list containing - A and B will be returned." - - * Avoid using the word "cause" (or its equivalents) unnecessarily. - Instead of, "Cause Emacs to display text in boldface," write just - "Display text in boldface." - - * Do not start or end a documentation string with whitespace. - - * Format the documentation string so that it fits in an Emacs window - on an 80-column screen. It is a good idea for most lines to be no - wider than 60 characters. The first line can be wider if - necessary to fit the information that ought to be there. - - However, rather than simply filling the entire documentation - string, you can make it much more readable by choosing line breaks - with care. Use blank lines between topics if the documentation - string is long. - - * *Do not* indent subsequent lines of a documentation string so that - the text is lined up in the source code with the text of the first - line. This looks nice in the source code, but looks bizarre when - users view the documentation. Remember that the indentation - before the starting double-quote is not part of the string! - - * A variable's documentation string should start with `*' if the - variable is one that users would often want to set interactively. - If the value is a long list, or a function, or if the variable - would be set only in init files, then don't start the - documentation string with `*'. *Note Defining Variables::. - - * The documentation string for a variable that is a yes-or-no flag - should start with words such as "Non-nil means...", to make it - clear that all non-`nil' values are equivalent and indicate - explicitly what `nil' and non-`nil' mean. - - * When a function's documentation string mentions the value of an - argument of the function, use the argument name in capital letters - as if it were a name for that value. Thus, the documentation - string of the function `/' refers to its second argument as - `DIVISOR', because the actual argument name is `divisor'. - - Also use all caps for meta-syntactic variables, such as when you - show the decomposition of a list or vector into subunits, some of - which may vary. - - * When a documentation string refers to a Lisp symbol, write it as it - would be printed (which usually means in lower case), with - single-quotes around it. For example: `lambda'. There are two - exceptions: write t and nil without single-quotes. (In this - manual, we normally do use single-quotes for those symbols.) - - * Don't write key sequences directly in documentation strings. - Instead, use the `\\[...]' construct to stand for them. For - example, instead of writing `C-f', write `\\[forward-char]'. When - Emacs displays the documentation string, it substitutes whatever - key is currently bound to `forward-char'. (This is normally `C-f', - but it may be some other character if the user has moved key - bindings.) *Note Keys in Documentation::. - - * In documentation strings for a major mode, you will want to refer - to the key bindings of that mode's local map, rather than global - ones. Therefore, use the construct `\\<...>' once in the - documentation string to specify which key map to use. Do this - before the first use of `\\[...]'. The text inside the `\\<...>' - should be the name of the variable containing the local keymap for - the major mode. - - It is not practical to use `\\[...]' very many times, because - display of the documentation string will become slow. So use this - to describe the most important commands in your major mode, and - then use `\\{...}' to display the rest of the mode's keymap. - - -File: lispref.info, Node: Comment Tips, Next: Library Headers, Prev: Documentation Tips, Up: Tips - -Tips on Writing Comments -======================== - - We recommend these conventions for where to put comments and how to -indent them: - -`;' - Comments that start with a single semicolon, `;', should all be - aligned to the same column on the right of the source code. Such - comments usually explain how the code on the same line does its - job. In Lisp mode and related modes, the `M-;' - (`indent-for-comment') command automatically inserts such a `;' in - the right place, or aligns such a comment if it is already present. - - This and following examples are taken from the Emacs sources. - - (setq base-version-list ; there was a base - (assoc (substring fn 0 start-vn) ; version to which - file-version-assoc-list)) ; this looks like - ; a subversion - -`;;' - Comments that start with two semicolons, `;;', should be aligned to - the same level of indentation as the code. Such comments usually - describe the purpose of the following lines or the state of the - program at that point. For example: - - (prog1 (setq auto-fill-function - ... - ... - ;; update modeline - (redraw-modeline))) - - Every function that has no documentation string (because it is use - only internally within the package it belongs to), should have - instead a two-semicolon comment right before the function, - explaining what the function does and how to call it properly. - Explain precisely what each argument means and how the function - interprets its possible values. - -`;;;' - Comments that start with three semicolons, `;;;', should start at - the left margin. Such comments are used outside function - definitions to make general statements explaining the design - principles of the program. For example: - - ;;; This Lisp code is run in XEmacs - ;;; when it is to operate as a server - ;;; for other processes. - - Another use for triple-semicolon comments is for commenting out - lines within a function. We use triple-semicolons for this - precisely so that they remain at the left margin. - - (defun foo (a) - ;;; This is no longer necessary. - ;;; (force-mode-line-update) - (message "Finished with %s" a)) - -`;;;;' - Comments that start with four semicolons, `;;;;', should be aligned - to the left margin and are used for headings of major sections of a - program. For example: - - ;;;; The kill ring - -The indentation commands of the Lisp modes in XEmacs, such as `M-;' -(`indent-for-comment') and (`lisp-indent-line') automatically -indent comments according to these conventions, depending on the number -of semicolons. *Note Manipulating Comments: (emacs)Comments. - - -File: lispref.info, Node: Library Headers, Prev: Comment Tips, Up: Tips - -Conventional Headers for XEmacs Libraries -========================================= - - XEmacs has conventions for using special comments in Lisp libraries -to divide them into sections and give information such as who wrote -them. This section explains these conventions.

Here is a table of the conventional -possibilities for HEADER-NAME: - -`Author' - This line states the name and net address of at least the principal - author of the library. - - If there are multiple authors, you can list them on continuation - lines led by `;;' and a tab character, like this: - - ;; Author: Ashwin Ram - ;; Dave Sill - ;; Dave Brennan - ;; Eric Raymond - -`Maintainer' - This line should contain a single name/address as in the Author - line, or an address only, or the string `FSF'. If there is no - maintainer line, the person(s) in the Author field are presumed to - be the maintainers. The example above is mildly bogus because the - maintainer line is redundant. - - The idea behind the `Author' and `Maintainer' lines is to make - possible a Lisp function to "send mail to the maintainer" without - having to mine the name out by hand. - - Be sure to surround the network address with `<...>' if you - include the person's full name as well as the network address. - -`Created' - This optional line gives the original creation date of the file. - For historical interest only. - -`Version' - If you wish to record version numbers for the individual Lisp - program, put them in this line. - -`Adapted-By' - In this header line, place the name of the person who adapted the - library for installation (to make it fit the style conventions, for - example). - -`Keywords' - This line lists keywords for the `finder-by-keyword' help command. - This field is important; it's how people will find your package - when they're looking for things by topic area. To separate the - keywords, you can use spaces, commas, or both. - - Just about every Lisp library ought to have the `Author' and -`Keywords' header comment lines. Use the others if they are -appropriate. You can also put in header lines with other header -names--they have no standard meanings, so they can't do any harm. - - We use additional stylized comments to subdivide the contents of the -library file. Here is a table of them: - -`;;; Commentary:' - This begins introductory comments that explain how the library - works. It should come right after the copying permissions. - -`;;; Change log:' - This begins change log information stored in the library file (if - you store the change history there). For most of the Lisp files - distributed with XEmacs, the change history is kept in the file - `ChangeLog' and not in the source file at all; these files do not - have a `;;; Change log:' line. - -`;;; Code:' - This begins the actual code of the program. - -`;;; FILENAME ends here' - This is the "footer line"; it appears at the very end of the file. - Its purpose is to enable people to detect truncated versions of - the file from the lack of a footer line. - - -File: lispref.info, Node: Building XEmacs and Object Allocation, Next: Standard Errors, Prev: Tips, Up: Top - -Building XEmacs; Allocation of Objects -************************************** - - This chapter describes how the runnable XEmacs executable is dumped -with the preloaded Lisp libraries in it and how storage is allocated. - - There is an entire separate document, the `XEmacs Internals Manual', -devoted to the internals of XEmacs from the perspective of the C -programmer.

You don't have to know this material to build and install -XEmacs, since the makefiles do all these things automatically. This -information is pertinent to XEmacs maintenance. - - The `XEmacs Internals Manual' contains more information about this. - - Compilation of the C source files in the `src' directory produces an -executable file called `temacs', also called a "bare impure XEmacs". -It contains the XEmacs Lisp interpreter and I/O routines, but not the -editing commands. - - Before XEmacs is actually usable, a number of Lisp files need to be -loaded. These define all the editing commands, plus most of the startup -code and many very basic Lisp primitives. This is accomplished by -loading the file `loadup.el', which in turn loads all of the other -standardly-loaded Lisp files. - - It takes a substantial time to load the standard Lisp files. -Luckily, you don't have to do this each time you run XEmacs; `temacs' -can dump out an executable program called `xemacs' that has these files -preloaded. `xemacs' starts more quickly because it does not need to -load the files. This is the XEmacs executable that is normally -installed. - - To create `xemacs', use the command `temacs -batch -l loadup dump'. -The purpose of `-batch' here is to tell `temacs' to run in -non-interactive, command-line mode. (`temacs' can _only_ run in this -fashion. Part of the code required to initialize frames and faces is -in Lisp, and must be loaded before XEmacs is able to create any frames.) -The argument `dump' tells `loadup.el' to dump a new executable named -`xemacs'. - - The dumping process is highly system-specific, and some operating -systems don't support dumping. On those systems, you must start XEmacs -with the `temacs -batch -l loadup run-temacs' command each time you use -it. This takes a substantial time, but since you need to start Emacs -once a day at most--or once a week if you never log out--the extra time -is not too severe a problem. (In older versions of Emacs, you started -Emacs from `temacs' using `temacs -l loadup'.) - - You are free to start XEmacs directly from `temacs' if you want, -even if there is already a dumped `xemacs'. Normally you wouldn't want -to do that; but the Makefiles do this when you rebuild XEmacs using -`make all-elc', which builds XEmacs and simultaneously compiles any -out-of-date Lisp files. (You need `xemacs' in order to compile Lisp -files. However, you also need the compiled Lisp files in order to dump -out `xemacs'. If both of these are missing or corrupted, you are out -of luck unless you're able to bootstrap `xemacs' from `temacs'. Note -that `make all-elc' actually loads the alternative loadup file -`loadup-el.el', which works like `loadup.el' but disables the -pure-copying process and forces XEmacs to ignore any compiled Lisp -files even if they exist.) - - You can specify additional files to preload by writing a library -named `site-load.el' that loads them. You may need to increase the -value of `PURESIZE', in `src/puresize.h', to make room for the -additional files. You should _not_ modify this file directly, however; -instead, use the `--puresize' configuration option. (If you run out of -pure space while dumping `xemacs', you will be told how much pure space -you actually will need.) However, the advantage of preloading -additional files decreases as machines get faster. On modern machines, -it is often not advisable, especially if the Lisp code is on a file -system local to the machine running XEmacs. - - You can specify other Lisp expressions to execute just before dumping -by putting them in a library named `site-init.el'. However, if they -might alter the behavior that users expect from an ordinary unmodified -XEmacs, it is better to put them in `default.el', so that users can -override them if they wish. *Note Start-up Summary::. - - Before `loadup.el' dumps the new executable, it finds the -documentation strings for primitive and preloaded functions (and -variables) in the file where they are stored, by calling -`Snarf-documentation' (*note Accessing Documentation::). These strings -were moved out of the `xemacs' executable to make it smaller. *Note -Documentation Basics::. - - - Function: dump-emacs to-file from-file - This function dumps the current state of XEmacs into an executable - file TO-FILE. It takes symbols from FROM-FILE (this is normally - the executable file `temacs'). - - If you use this function in an XEmacs that was already dumped, you - must set `command-line-processed' to `nil' first for good results. - *Note Command Line Arguments::. - - - Function: run-emacs-from-temacs &rest args - This is the function that implements the `run-temacs' command-line - argument. It is called from `loadup.el' as appropriate. You - should most emphatically _not_ call this yourself; it will - reinitialize your XEmacs process and you'll be sorry. - - - Command: emacs-version - This function returns a string describing the version of XEmacs - that is running. It is useful to include this string in bug - reports. - - (emacs-version) - => "XEmacs 20.1 [Lucid] (i586-unknown-linux2.0.29) - of Mon Apr 7 1997 on altair.xemacs.org" - - Called interactively, the function prints the same information in - the echo area. - - - Variable: emacs-build-time - The value of this variable is the time at which XEmacs was built - at the local site. - - emacs-build-time "Mon Apr 7 20:28:52 1997" - => - - - Variable: emacs-version - The value of this variable is the version of Emacs being run.

Then take + care to begin the names of all global variables, constants, and + functions with the chosen prefix. This helps avoid name conflicts. + + This recommendation applies even to names for traditional Lisp + primitives that are not primitives in XEmacs Lisp--even to `cadr'. + Believe it or not, there is more than one plausible way to define + `cadr'. Play it safe; append your name prefix to produce a name + like `foo-cadr' or `mylib-cadr' instead. + + If you write a function that you think ought to be added to Emacs + under a certain name, such as `twiddle-files', don't call it by + that name in your program. Call it `mylib-twiddle-files' in your + program, and send mail to `bug-gnu-emacs@prep.ai.mit.edu' + suggesting we add it to Emacs. If and when we do, we can change + the name easily enough. + + If one prefix is insufficient, your package may use two or three + alternative common prefixes, so long as they make sense. + + Separate the prefix from the rest of the symbol name with a hyphen, + `-'. This will be consistent with XEmacs itself and with most + Emacs Lisp programs. + + * It is often useful to put a call to `provide' in each separate + library program, at least if there is more than one entry point to + the program. + + * If a file requires certain other library programs to be loaded + beforehand, then the comments at the beginning of the file should + say so. Also, use `require' to make sure they are loaded. + + * If one file FOO uses a macro defined in another file BAR, FOO + should contain this expression before the first use of the macro: + + (eval-when-compile (require 'BAR)) + + (And BAR should contain `(provide 'BAR)', to make the `require' + work.) This will cause BAR to be loaded when you byte-compile + FOO. Otherwise, you risk compiling FOO without the necessary + macro loaded, and that would produce compiled code that won't work + right. *Note Compiling Macros::. + + Using `eval-when-compile' avoids loading BAR when the compiled + version of FOO is _used_. + + * If you define a major mode, make sure to run a hook variable using + `run-hooks', just as the existing major modes do. *Note Hooks::. + + * If the purpose of a function is to tell you whether a certain + condition is true or false, give the function a name that ends in + `p'. If the name is one word, add just `p'; if the name is + multiple words, add `-p'. Examples are `framep' and + `frame-live-p'. + + * If a user option variable records a true-or-false condition, give + it a name that ends in `-flag'. + + * Please do not define `C-c LETTER' as a key in your major modes. + These sequences are reserved for users; they are the *only* + sequences reserved for users, so we cannot do without them. + + Instead, define sequences consisting of `C-c' followed by a + non-letter. These sequences are reserved for major modes. + + Changing all the major modes in Emacs 18 so they would follow this + convention was a lot of work. Abandoning this convention would + make that work go to waste, and inconvenience users. + + * Sequences consisting of `C-c' followed by `{', `}', `<', `>', `:' + or `;' are also reserved for major modes. + + * Sequences consisting of `C-c' followed by any other punctuation + character are allocated for minor modes. Using them in a major + mode is not absolutely prohibited, but if you do that, the major + mode binding may be shadowed from time to time by minor modes. + + * You should not bind `C-h' following any prefix character (including + `C-c'). If you don't bind `C-h', it is automatically available as + a help character for listing the subcommands of the prefix + character. + + * You should not bind a key sequence ending in except following + another . (That is, it is ok to bind a sequence ending in + ` '.) + + The reason for this rule is that a non-prefix binding for in + any context prevents recognition of escape sequences as function + keys in that context. + + * Applications should not bind mouse events based on button 1 with + the shift key held down. These events include `S-mouse-1', + `M-S-mouse-1', `C-S-mouse-1', and so on. They are reserved for + users. + + * Modes should redefine `mouse-2' as a command to follow some sort of + reference in the text of a buffer, if users usually would not want + to alter the text in that buffer by hand. Modes such as Dired, + Info, Compilation, and Occur redefine it in this way. + + * When a package provides a modification of ordinary Emacs behavior, + it is good to include a command to enable and disable the feature, + Provide a command named `WHATEVER-mode' which turns the feature on + or off, and make it autoload (*note Autoload::). Design the + package so that simply loading it has no visible effect--that + should not enable the feature. Users will request the feature by + invoking the command. + + * It is a bad idea to define aliases for the Emacs primitives. Use + the standard names instead. + + * Redefining an Emacs primitive is an even worse idea. It may do + the right thing for a particular program, but there is no telling + what other programs might break as a result. + + * If a file does replace any of the functions or library programs of + standard XEmacs, prominent comments at the beginning of the file + should say which functions are replaced, and how the behavior of + the replacements differs from that of the originals. + + * Please keep the names of your XEmacs Lisp source files to 13 + characters or less. This way, if the files are compiled, the + compiled files' names will be 14 characters or less, which is + short enough to fit on all kinds of Unix systems. + + * Don't use `next-line' or `previous-line' in programs; nearly + always, `forward-line' is more convenient as well as more + predictable and robust. *Note Text Lines::. + + * Don't call functions that set the mark, unless setting the mark is + one of the intended features of your program. The mark is a + user-level feature, so it is incorrect to change the mark except + to supply a value for the user's benefit. *Note The Mark::. + + In particular, don't use these functions: + + * `beginning-of-buffer', `end-of-buffer' + + * `replace-string', `replace-regexp' + + If you just want to move point, or replace a certain string, + without any of the other features intended for interactive users, + you can replace these functions with one or two lines of simple + Lisp code. + + * Use lists rather than vectors, except when there is a particular + reason to use a vector. Lisp has more facilities for manipulating + lists than for vectors, and working with lists is usually more + convenient. + + Vectors are advantageous for tables that are substantial in size + and are accessed in random order (not searched front to back), + provided there is no need to insert or delete elements (only lists + allow that). + + * The recommended way to print a message in the echo area is with + the `message' function, not `princ'. *Note The Echo Area::. + + * When you encounter an error condition, call the function `error' + (or `signal'). The function `error' does not return. *Note + Signaling Errors::. + + Do not use `message', `throw', `sleep-for', or `beep' to report + errors. + + * An error message should start with a capital letter but should not + end with a period. + + * Try to avoid using recursive edits. Instead, do what the Rmail `e' + command does: use a new local keymap that contains one command + defined to switch back to the old local keymap. Or do what the + `edit-options' command does: switch to another buffer and let the + user switch back at will. *Note Recursive Editing::. + + * In some other systems there is a convention of choosing variable + names that begin and end with `*'. We don't use that convention + in Emacs Lisp, so please don't use it in your programs. (Emacs + uses such names only for program-generated buffers.) The users + will find Emacs more coherent if all libraries use the same + conventions. + + * Indent each function with `C-M-q' (`indent-sexp') using the + default indentation parameters. + + * Don't make a habit of putting close-parentheses on lines by + themselves; Lisp programmers find this disconcerting. Once in a + while, when there is a sequence of many consecutive + close-parentheses, it may make sense to split them in one or two + significant places. + + * Please put a copyright notice on the file if you give copies to + anyone. Use the same lines that appear at the top of the Lisp + files in XEmacs itself. If you have not signed papers to assign + the copyright to the Foundation, then place your name in the + copyright notice in place of the Foundation's name. + + +File: lispref.info, Node: Compilation Tips, Next: Documentation Tips, Prev: Style Tips, Up: Tips + +Tips for Making Compiled Code Fast +================================== + + Here are ways of improving the execution speed of byte-compiled Lisp +programs. + + * Use the `profile' library to profile your program. See the file + `profile.el' for instructions. + + * Use iteration rather than recursion whenever possible. Function + calls are slow in XEmacs Lisp even when a compiled function is + calling another compiled function. + + * Using the primitive list-searching functions `memq', `member', + `assq', or `assoc' is even faster than explicit iteration. It may + be worth rearranging a data structure so that one of these + primitive search functions can be used. + + * Certain built-in functions are handled specially in byte-compiled + code, avoiding the need for an ordinary function call. It is a + good idea to use these functions rather than alternatives. To see + whether a function is handled specially by the compiler, examine + its `byte-compile' property. If the property is non-`nil', then + the function is handled specially. + + For example, the following input will show you that `aref' is + compiled specially (*note Array Functions::) while `elt' is not + (*note Sequence Functions::): + + (get 'aref 'byte-compile) + => byte-compile-two-args + + (get 'elt 'byte-compile) + => nil + + * If calling a small function accounts for a substantial part of + your program's running time, make the function inline. This + eliminates the function call overhead. Since making a function + inline reduces the flexibility of changing the program, don't do + it unless it gives a noticeable speedup in something slow enough + that users care about the speed. *Note Inline Functions::. + + +File: lispref.info, Node: Documentation Tips, Next: Comment Tips, Prev: Compilation Tips, Up: Tips + +Tips for Documentation Strings +============================== + + Here are some tips for the writing of documentation strings. + + * Every command, function, or variable intended for users to know + about should have a documentation string. + + * An internal variable or subroutine of a Lisp program might as well + have a documentation string. In earlier Emacs versions, you could + save space by using a comment instead of a documentation string, + but that is no longer the case. + + * The first line of the documentation string should consist of one + or two complete sentences that stand on their own as a summary. + `M-x apropos' displays just the first line, and if it doesn't + stand on its own, the result looks bad. In particular, start the + first line with a capital letter and end with a period. + + The documentation string can have additional lines that expand on + the details of how to use the function or variable. The + additional lines should be made up of complete sentences also, but + they may be filled if that looks good. + + * For consistency, phrase the verb in the first sentence of a + documentation string as an infinitive with "to" omitted. For + instance, use "Return the cons of A and B." in preference to + "Returns the cons of A and B." Usually it looks good to do + likewise for the rest of the first paragraph. Subsequent + paragraphs usually look better if they have proper subjects. + + * Write documentation strings in the active voice, not the passive, + and in the present tense, not the future. For instance, use + "Return a list containing A and B." instead of "A list containing + A and B will be returned." + + * Avoid using the word "cause" (or its equivalents) unnecessarily. + Instead of, "Cause Emacs to display text in boldface," write just + "Display text in boldface." + + * Do not start or end a documentation string with whitespace. + + * Format the documentation string so that it fits in an Emacs window + on an 80-column screen. It is a good idea for most lines to be no + wider than 60 characters. The first line can be wider if + necessary to fit the information that ought to be there. + + However, rather than simply filling the entire documentation + string, you can make it much more readable by choosing line breaks + with care. Use blank lines between topics if the documentation + string is long. + + * *Do not* indent subsequent lines of a documentation string so that + the text is lined up in the source code with the text of the first + line. This looks nice in the source code, but looks bizarre when + users view the documentation. Remember that the indentation + before the starting double-quote is not part of the string! + + * A variable's documentation string should start with `*' if the + variable is one that users would often want to set interactively. + If the value is a long list, or a function, or if the variable + would be set only in init files, then don't start the + documentation string with `*'. *Note Defining Variables::. + + * The documentation string for a variable that is a yes-or-no flag + should start with words such as "Non-nil means...", to make it + clear that all non-`nil' values are equivalent and indicate + explicitly what `nil' and non-`nil' mean. + + * When a function's documentation string mentions the value of an + argument of the function, use the argument name in capital letters + as if it were a name for that value. Thus, the documentation + string of the function `/' refers to its second argument as + `DIVISOR', because the actual argument name is `divisor'. + + Also use all caps for meta-syntactic variables, such as when you + show the decomposition of a list or vector into subunits, some of + which may vary. + + * When a documentation string refers to a Lisp symbol, write it as it + would be printed (which usually means in lower case), with + single-quotes around it. For example: `lambda'. There are two + exceptions: write t and nil without single-quotes. (In this + manual, we normally do use single-quotes for those symbols.) + + * Don't write key sequences directly in documentation strings. + Instead, use the `\\[...]' construct to stand for them. For + example, instead of writing `C-f', write `\\[forward-char]'. When + Emacs displays the documentation string, it substitutes whatever + key is currently bound to `forward-char'. (This is normally `C-f', + but it may be some other character if the user has moved key + bindings.) *Note Keys in Documentation::. + + * In documentation strings for a major mode, you will want to refer + to the key bindings of that mode's local map, rather than global + ones. Therefore, use the construct `\\<...>' once in the + documentation string to specify which key map to use. Do this + before the first use of `\\[...]'. The text inside the `\\<...>' + should be the name of the variable containing the local keymap for + the major mode. + + It is not practical to use `\\[...]' very many times, because + display of the documentation string will become slow. So use this + to describe the most important commands in your major mode, and + then use `\\{...}' to display the rest of the mode's keymap. + + +File: lispref.info, Node: Comment Tips, Next: Library Headers, Prev: Documentation Tips, Up: Tips + +Tips on Writing Comments +======================== + + We recommend these conventions for where to put comments and how to +indent them: + +`;' + Comments that start with a single semicolon, `;', should all be + aligned to the same column on the right of the source code. Such + comments usually explain how the code on the same line does its + job. In Lisp mode and related modes, the `M-;' + (`indent-for-comment') command automatically inserts such a `;' in + the right place, or aligns such a comment if it is already present. + + This and following examples are taken from the Emacs sources. + + (setq base-version-list ; there was a base + (assoc (substring fn 0 start-vn) ; version to which + file-version-assoc-list)) ; this looks like + ; a subversion + +`;;' + Comments that start with two semicolons, `;;', should be aligned to + the same level of indentation as the code. Such comments usually + describe the purpose of the following lines or the state of the + program at that point. For example: + + (prog1 (setq auto-fill-function + ... + ... + ;; update modeline + (redraw-modeline))) + + Every function that has no documentation string (because it is use + only internally within the package it belongs to), should have + instead a two-semicolon comment right before the function, + explaining what the function does and how to call it properly. + Explain precisely what each argument means and how the function + interprets its possible values. + +`;;;' + Comments that start with three semicolons, `;;;', should start at + the left margin. Such comments are used outside function + definitions to make general statements explaining the design + principles of the program. For example: + + ;;; This Lisp code is run in XEmacs + ;;; when it is to operate as a server + ;;; for other processes. + + Another use for triple-semicolon comments is for commenting out + lines within a function. We use triple-semicolons for this + precisely so that they remain at the left margin. + + (defun foo (a) + ;;; This is no longer necessary. + ;;; (force-mode-line-update) + (message "Finished with %s" a)) + +`;;;;' + Comments that start with four semicolons, `;;;;', should be aligned + to the left margin and are used for headings of major sections of a + program. For example: + + ;;;; The kill ring + +The indentation commands of the Lisp modes in XEmacs, such as `M-;' +(`indent-for-comment') and (`lisp-indent-line') automatically +indent comments according to these conventions, depending on the number +of semicolons. *Note Manipulating Comments: (emacs)Comments. + + +File: lispref.info, Node: Library Headers, Prev: Comment Tips, Up: Tips + +Conventional Headers for XEmacs Libraries +========================================= + + XEmacs has conventions for using special comments in Lisp libraries +to divide them into sections and give information such as who wrote +them.

Here is a table of the conventional +possibilities for HEADER-NAME: + +`Author' + This line states the name and net address of at least the principal + author of the library. + + If there are multiple authors, you can list them on continuation + lines led by `;;' and a tab character, like this: + + ;; Author: Ashwin Ram + ;; Dave Sill + ;; Dave Brennan + ;; Eric Raymond + +`Maintainer' + This line should contain a single name/address as in the Author + line, or an address only, or the string `FSF'. If there is no + maintainer line, the person(s) in the Author field are presumed to + be the maintainers. The example above is mildly bogus because the + maintainer line is redundant. + + The idea behind the `Author' and `Maintainer' lines is to make + possible a Lisp function to "send mail to the maintainer" without + having to mine the name out by hand. + + Be sure to surround the network address with `<...>' if you + include the person's full name as well as the network address. + +`Created' + This optional line gives the original creation date of the file. + For historical interest only. + +`Version' + If you wish to record version numbers for the individual Lisp + program, put them in this line. + +`Adapted-By' + In this header line, place the name of the person who adapted the + library for installation (to make it fit the style conventions, for + example). + +`Keywords' + This line lists keywords for the `finder-by-keyword' help command. + This field is important; it's how people will find your package + when they're looking for things by topic area. To separate the + keywords, you can use spaces, commas, or both. + + Just about every Lisp library ought to have the `Author' and +`Keywords' header comment lines. Use the others if they are +appropriate. You can also put in header lines with other header +names--they have no standard meanings, so they can't do any harm. + + We use additional stylized comments to subdivide the contents of the +library file. Here is a table of them: + +`;;; Commentary:' + This begins introductory comments that explain how the library + works. It should come right after the copying permissions. + +`;;; Change log:' + This begins change log information stored in the library file (if + you store the change history there). For most of the Lisp files + distributed with XEmacs, the change history is kept in the file + `ChangeLog' and not in the source file at all; these files do not + have a `;;; Change log:' line. + +`;;; Code:' + This begins the actual code of the program. + +`;;; FILENAME ends here' + This is the "footer line"; it appears at the very end of the file. + Its purpose is to enable people to detect truncated versions of + the file from the lack of a footer line. + + +File: lispref.info, Node: Building XEmacs and Object Allocation, Next: Standard Errors, Prev: Tips, Up: Top + +Building XEmacs; Allocation of Objects +************************************** + + This chapter describes how the runnable XEmacs executable is dumped +with the preloaded Lisp libraries in it and how storage is allocated. + + There is an entire separate document, the `XEmacs Internals Manual', +devoted to the internals of XEmacs from the perspective of the C +programmer.

You don't have to know this material to build and install +XEmacs, since the makefiles do all these things automatically. This +information is pertinent to XEmacs maintenance. + + The `XEmacs Internals Manual' contains more information about this. + + Compilation of the C source files in the `src' directory produces an +executable file called `temacs', also called a "bare impure XEmacs". +It contains the XEmacs Lisp interpreter and I/O routines, but not the +editing commands. + + Before XEmacs is actually usable, a number of Lisp files need to be +loaded. These define all the editing commands, plus most of the startup +code and many very basic Lisp primitives. This is accomplished by +loading the file `loadup.el', which in turn loads all of the other +standardly-loaded Lisp files. + + It takes a substantial time to load the standard Lisp files. +Luckily, you don't have to do this each time you run XEmacs; `temacs' +can dump out an executable program called `xemacs' that has these files +preloaded. `xemacs' starts more quickly because it does not need to +load the files. This is the XEmacs executable that is normally +installed. + + To create `xemacs', use the command `temacs -batch -l loadup dump'. +The purpose of `-batch' here is to tell `temacs' to run in +non-interactive, command-line mode. (`temacs' can _only_ run in this +fashion. Part of the code required to initialize frames and faces is +in Lisp, and must be loaded before XEmacs is able to create any frames.) +The argument `dump' tells `loadup.el' to dump a new executable named +`xemacs'. + + The dumping process is highly system-specific, and some operating +systems don't support dumping. On those systems, you must start XEmacs +with the `temacs -batch -l loadup run-temacs' command each time you use +it. This takes a substantial time, but since you need to start Emacs +once a day at most--or once a week if you never log out--the extra time +is not too severe a problem. (In older versions of Emacs, you started +Emacs from `temacs' using `temacs -l loadup'.) + + You are free to start XEmacs directly from `temacs' if you want, +even if there is already a dumped `xemacs'. Normally you wouldn't want +to do that; but the Makefiles do this when you rebuild XEmacs using +`make all-elc', which builds XEmacs and simultaneously compiles any +out-of-date Lisp files. (You need `xemacs' in order to compile Lisp +files. However, you also need the compiled Lisp files in order to dump +out `xemacs'. If both of these are missing or corrupted, you are out +of luck unless you're able to bootstrap `xemacs' from `temacs'. Note +that `make all-elc' actually loads the alternative loadup file +`loadup-el.el', which works like `loadup.el' but disables the +pure-copying process and forces XEmacs to ignore any compiled Lisp +files even if they exist.) + + You can specify additional files to preload by writing a library +named `site-load.el' that loads them. You may need to increase the +value of `PURESIZE', in `src/puresize.h', to make room for the +additional files. You should _not_ modify this file directly, however; +instead, use the `--puresize' configuration option. (If you run out of +pure space while dumping `xemacs', you will be told how much pure space +you actually will need.) However, the advantage of preloading +additional files decreases as machines get faster. On modern machines, +it is often not advisable, especially if the Lisp code is on a file +system local to the machine running XEmacs. + + You can specify other Lisp expressions to execute just before dumping +by putting them in a library named `site-init.el'. However, if they +might alter the behavior that users expect from an ordinary unmodified +XEmacs, it is better to put them in `default.el', so that users can +override them if they wish. *Note Start-up Summary::. + + Before `loadup.el' dumps the new executable, it finds the +documentation strings for primitive and preloaded functions (and +variables) in the file where they are stored, by calling +`Snarf-documentation' (*note Accessing Documentation::). These strings +were moved out of the `xemacs' executable to make it smaller. *Note +Documentation Basics::. + + - Function: dump-emacs to-file from-file + This function dumps the current state of XEmacs into an executable + file TO-FILE.
