/* NOTE:

   The value cell of a symbol can contain a simple value or one of
   various symbol-value-magic objects.  Some of these objects can
   chain into other kinds of objects.  Here is a table of possibilities:

   1a) simple value
   1b) Qunbound
   1c) symbol-value-forward, excluding Qunbound
   2) symbol-value-buffer-local -> 1a or 1b or 1c
   3) symbol-value-lisp-magic -> 1a or 1b or 1c
   4) symbol-value-lisp-magic -> symbol-value-buffer-local -> 1a or 1b or 1c
   5) symbol-value-varalias
   6) symbol-value-lisp-magic -> symbol-value-varalias

   The "chain" of a symbol-value-buffer-local is its current_value slot.

   The "chain" of a symbol-value-lisp-magic is its shadowed slot, which
   applies for handler types without associated handlers.

   All other fields in all the structures (including the "shadowed" slot
   in a symbol-value-varalias) can *only* contain a simple value or Qunbound.

*/

/* If the contents of the value cell of a symbol is one of the following
   three types of objects, then the symbol is "magic" in that setting
   and retrieving its value doesn't just set or retrieve the raw
   contents of the value cell.  None of these objects can escape to
   the user level, so there is no loss of generality.

   If a symbol is "unbound", then the contents of its value cell is
   Qunbound.  Despite appearances, this is *not* a symbol, but is a
   symbol-value-forward object.  This is so that printing it results
   in "INTERNAL OBJECT (XEmacs bug?)", in case it leaks to Lisp, somehow.

   Logically all of the following objects are "symbol-value-magic"
   objects, and there are some games played w.r.t. this (#### this
   should be cleaned up).  SYMBOL_VALUE_MAGIC_P is true for all of
   the object types.  XSYMBOL_VALUE_MAGIC_TYPE returns the type of
   symbol-value-magic object.  There are more than three types
   returned by this macro: in particular, symbol-value-forward
   has eight subtypes, and symbol-value-buffer-local has two.  See
   symeval.h.

   1. symbol-value-forward

   symbol-value-forward is used for variables whose actual contents
   are stored in a C variable of some sort, and for Qunbound.  The
   lcheader.next field (which is only used to chain together free
   lcrecords) holds a pointer to the actual C variable.  Included
   in this type are "buffer-local" variables that are actually
   stored in the buffer object itself; in this case, the "pointer"
   is an offset into the struct buffer structure.

   The subtypes are as follows:

   SYMVAL_OBJECT_FORWARD:
      (declare with DEFVAR_LISP)
      The value of this variable is stored in a C variable of type
      "Lisp_Object".  Setting this variable sets the C variable.
      Accessing this variable retrieves a value from the C variable.
      These variables can be buffer-local -- in this case, the
      raw symbol-value field gets converted into a
      symbol-value-buffer-local, whose "current_value" slot contains
      the symbol-value-forward. (See below.)

   SYMVAL_FIXNUM_FORWARD:
   SYMVAL_BOOLEAN_FORWARD:
      (declare with DEFVAR_INT or DEFVAR_BOOL)
      Similar to SYMVAL_OBJECT_FORWARD except that the C variable
      is of type "int" and is an integer or boolean, respectively.

   SYMVAL_CONST_OBJECT_FORWARD:
   SYMVAL_CONST_FIXNUM_FORWARD:
   SYMVAL_CONST_BOOLEAN_FORWARD:
      (declare with DEFVAR_CONST_LISP, DEFVAR_CONST_INT, or
       DEFVAR_CONST_BOOL)
      Similar to SYMVAL_OBJECT_FORWARD, SYMVAL_FIXNUM_FORWARD, or
      SYMVAL_BOOLEAN_FORWARD, respectively, except that the value cannot
      be changed.

   SYMVAL_CONST_SPECIFIER_FORWARD:
      (declare with DEFVAR_SPECIFIER)
      Exactly like SYMVAL_CONST_OBJECT_FORWARD except that the error
      message you get when attempting to set the value says to use
      `set-specifier' instead.

   SYMVAL_CURRENT_BUFFER_FORWARD:
      (declare with DEFVAR_BUFFER_LOCAL)
      This is used for built-in buffer-local variables -- i.e.
      Lisp variables whose value is stored in the "struct buffer".
      Variables of this sort always forward into C "Lisp_Object"
      fields (although there's no reason in principle that other
      types for ints and booleans couldn't be added).  Note that
      some of these variables are automatically local in each
      buffer, while some are only local when they become set
      (similar to `make-variable-buffer-local').  In these latter
      cases, of course, the default value shows through in all
      buffers in which the variable doesn't have a local value.
      This is implemented by making sure the "struct buffer" field
      always contains the correct value (whether it's local or
      a default) and maintaining a mask in the "struct buffer"
      indicating which fields are local.  When `set-default' is
      called on a variable that's not always local to all buffers,
      it loops through each buffer and sets the corresponding
      field in each buffer without a local value for the field,
      according to the mask.

      Calling `make-local-variable' on a variable of this sort
      only has the effect of maybe changing the current buffer's mask.
      Calling `make-variable-buffer-local' on a variable of this
      sort has no effect at all.

   SYMVAL_CONST_CURRENT_BUFFER_FORWARD:
      (declare with DEFVAR_CONST_BUFFER_LOCAL)
      Same as SYMVAL_CURRENT_BUFFER_FORWARD except that the
      value cannot be set.

   SYMVAL_DEFAULT_BUFFER_FORWARD:
      (declare with DEFVAR_BUFFER_DEFAULTS)
      This is used for the Lisp variables that contain the
      default values of built-in buffer-local variables.  Setting
      or referencing one of these variables forwards into a slot
      in the special struct buffer Vbuffer_defaults.

   SYMVAL_UNBOUND_MARKER:
      This is used for only one object, Qunbound.

   SYMVAL_SELECTED_CONSOLE_FORWARD:
      (declare with DEFVAR_CONSOLE_LOCAL)
      This is used for built-in console-local variables -- i.e.
      Lisp variables whose value is stored in the "struct console".
      These work just like built-in buffer-local variables.
      However, calling `make-local-variable' or
      `make-variable-buffer-local' on one of these variables
      is currently disallowed because that would entail having
      both console-local and buffer-local variables, which is
      trickier to implement.

   SYMVAL_CONST_SELECTED_CONSOLE_FORWARD:
      (declare with DEFVAR_CONST_CONSOLE_LOCAL)
      Same as SYMVAL_SELECTED_CONSOLE_FORWARD except that the
      value cannot be set.

   SYMVAL_DEFAULT_CONSOLE_FORWARD:
      (declare with DEFVAR_CONSOLE_DEFAULTS)
      This is used for the Lisp variables that contain the
      default values of built-in console-local variables.  Setting
      or referencing one of these variables forwards into a slot
      in the special struct console Vconsole_defaults.


   2. symbol-value-buffer-local

   symbol-value-buffer-local is used for variables that have had
   `make-local-variable' or `make-variable-buffer-local' applied
   to them.  This object contains an alist mapping buffers to
   values.  In addition, the object contains a "current value",
   which is the value in some buffer.  Whenever you access the
   variable with `symbol-value' or set it with `set' or `setq',
   things are switched around so that the "current value"
   refers to the current buffer, if it wasn't already.  This
   way, repeated references to a variable in the same buffer
   are almost as efficient as if the variable weren't buffer
   local.  Note that the alist may not be up-to-date w.r.t.
   the buffer whose value is current, as the "current value"
   cache is normally only flushed into the alist when the
   buffer it refers to changes.

   Note also that it is possible for `make-local-variable'
   or `make-variable-buffer-local' to be called on a variable
   that forwards into a C variable (i.e. a variable whose
   value cell is a symbol-value-forward).  In this case,
   the value cell becomes a symbol-value-buffer-local (as
   always), and the symbol-value-forward moves into
   the "current value" cell in this object.  Also, in
   this case the "current value" *always* refers to the
   current buffer, so that the values of the C variable
   always is the correct value for the current buffer.
   set_buffer_internal() automatically updates the current-value
   cells of all buffer-local variables that forward into C
   variables. (There is a list of all buffer-local variables
   that is maintained for this and other purposes.)

   Note that only certain types of `symbol-value-forward' objects
   can find their way into the "current value" cell of a
   `symbol-value-buffer-local' object: SYMVAL_OBJECT_FORWARD,
   SYMVAL_FIXNUM_FORWARD, SYMVAL_BOOLEAN_FORWARD, and
   SYMVAL_UNBOUND_MARKER.  The SYMVAL_CONST_*_FORWARD cannot
   be buffer-local because they are unsettable;
   SYMVAL_DEFAULT_*_FORWARD cannot be buffer-local because that
   makes no sense; making SYMVAL_CURRENT_BUFFER_FORWARD buffer-local
   does not have much of an effect (it's already buffer-local); and
   SYMVAL_SELECTED_CONSOLE_FORWARD cannot be buffer-local because
   that's not currently implemented.


   3. symbol-value-varalias

   A symbol-value-varalias object is used for variables that
   are aliases for other variables.  This object contains
   the symbol that this variable is aliased to.
   symbol-value-varalias objects cannot occur anywhere within
   a symbol-value-buffer-local object, and most of the
   low-level functions below do not accept them; you need
   to call follow_varalias_pointers to get the actual
   symbol to operate on.  */

/*
I've gone ahead and partially implemented this because it's
super-useful for dealing with the compatibility problems in supporting
the old pointer-shape variables, and preventing people from `setq'ing
the new variables.  Any other way of handling this problem is way
ugly, likely to be slow, and generally not something I want to waste
my time worrying about.

The interface and/or function name is sure to change before this
gets into its final form.  I currently like the way everything is
set up and it has all the features I want it to have, except for
one: I really want to be able to have multiple nested handlers,
to implement an `advice'-like capability.  This would allow,
for example, a clean way of implementing `debug-if-set' or
`debug-if-referenced' and such.

NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE:
************************************************************
**Only** the `set-value', `make-unbound', and `make-local'
handler types are currently implemented.  Implementing the
get-value and bound-predicate handlers is somewhat tricky
because there are lots of subfunctions (e.g. find_symbol_value()).
find_symbol_value(), in fact, is called from outside of
this module.  You'd have to have it do this:

-- check for a `bound-predicate' handler, call that if so;
   if it returns nil, return Qunbound
-- check for a `get-value' handler and call it and return
   that value

It gets even trickier when you have to deal with
sub-subfunctions like find_symbol_value_1(), and esp.
when you have to properly handle variable aliases, which
can lead to lots of tricky situations.  So I've just
punted on this, since the interface isn't officially
exported and we can get by with just a `set-value'
handler.

Actions in unimplemented handler types will correctly
ignore any handlers, and will not fuck anything up or
go awry.

WARNING WARNING: If you do go and implement another
type of handler, make *sure* to change
would_be_magic_handled() so it knows about this,
or dire things could result.
************************************************************
NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE

Real documentation is as follows.

Set a magic handler for VARIABLE.
This allows you to specify arbitrary behavior that results from
accessing or setting a variable.  For example, retrieving the
variable's value might actually retrieve the first element off of
a list stored in another variable, and setting the variable's value
might add an element to the front of that list. (This is how the
obsolete variable `unread-command-event' is implemented.)

In general it is NOT good programming practice to use magic variables
in a new package that you are designing.  If you feel the need to
do this, it's almost certainly a sign that you should be using a
function instead of a variable.  This facility is provided to allow
a package to support obsolete variables and provide compatibility
with similar packages with different variable names and semantics.
By using magic handlers, you can cleanly provide obsoleteness and
compatibility support and separate this support from the core
routines in a package.

VARIABLE should be a symbol naming the variable for which the
magic behavior is provided.  HANDLER-TYPE is a symbol specifying
which behavior is being controlled, and HANDLER is the function
that will be called to control this behavior.  HARG is a
value that will be passed to HANDLER but is otherwise
uninterpreted.  KEEP-EXISTING specifies what to do with existing
handlers of the same type; nil means "erase them all", t means
"keep them but insert at the beginning", the list (t) means
"keep them but insert at the end", a function means "keep
them but insert before the specified function", a list containing
a function means "keep them but insert after the specified
function".

You can specify magic behavior for any type of variable at all,
and for any handler types that are unspecified, the standard
behavior applies.  This allows you, for example, to use
`defvaralias' in conjunction with this function. (For that
matter, `defvaralias' could be implemented using this function.)

The behaviors that can be specified in HANDLER-TYPE are

get-value               (SYM ARGS FUN HARG HANDLERS)
    This means that one of the functions `symbol-value',
    `default-value', `symbol-value-in-buffer', or
    `symbol-value-in-console' was called on SYM.

set-value               (SYM ARGS FUN HARG HANDLERS)
    This means that one of the functions `set' or `set-default'
    was called on SYM.

bound-predicate         (SYM ARGS FUN HARG HANDLERS)
    This means that one of the functions `boundp', `globally-boundp',
    or `default-boundp' was called on SYM.

make-unbound            (SYM ARGS FUN HARG HANDLERS)
    This means that the function `makunbound' was called on SYM.

local-predicate         (SYM ARGS FUN HARG HANDLERS)
    This means that the function `local-variable-p' was called
    on SYM.

make-local              (SYM ARGS FUN HARG HANDLERS)
    This means that one of the functions `make-local-variable',
    `make-variable-buffer-local', `kill-local-variable',
    or `kill-console-local-variable' was called on SYM.

The meanings of the arguments are as follows:

   SYM is the symbol on which the function was called, and is always
   the first argument to the function.

   ARGS are the remaining arguments in the original call (i.e. all
   but the first).  In the case of `set-value' in particular,
   the first element of ARGS is the value to which the variable
   is being set.  In some cases, ARGS is sanitized from what was
   actually given.  For example, whenever `nil' is passed to an
   argument and it means `current-buffer', the current buffer is
   substituted instead.

   FUN is a symbol indicating which function is being called.
   For many of the functions, you can determine the corresponding
   function of a different class using
   `symbol-function-corresponding-function'.

   HARG is the argument that was given in the call
   to `set-symbol-value-handler' for SYM and HANDLER-TYPE.

   HANDLERS is a structure containing the remaining handlers
   for the variable; to call one of them, use
   `chain-to-symbol-value-handler'.

NOTE: You may *not* modify the list in ARGS, and if you want to
keep it around after the handler function exits, you must make
a copy using `copy-sequence'. (Same caveats for HANDLERS also.)

   can always be sure to catch cyclic variable aliasing.  If we never
   follow past Lisp magic, then if the following is done:

   (defvaralias 'a 'b)
   add some magic behavior to a, but not a "get-value" handler
   (defvaralias 'b 'a)

   then an attempt to retrieve a's or b's value would cause infinite
   looping in `symbol-value'.

   We (of course) can't always follow past Lisp magic, because then
   we make any variable that is lisp-magic -> varalias behave as if
   the lisp-magic is not present at all.
