* Abolish max-specpdl-size (bug#57911)Mattias Engdegård2022-09-191-3/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The max-lisp-eval-depth limit is sufficient to prevent unbounded stack growth including the specbind stack; simplify matters for the user by not having them to worry about two different limits. This change turns max-specpdl-size into a harmless variable with no effects, to keep existing code happy. * lisp/subr.el (max-specpdl-size): Define as an ordinary (but obsolete) dynamic variable. * admin/grammars/Makefile.in: * doc/lispintro/emacs-lisp-intro.texi (Loops & Recursion): * doc/lispref/control.texi (Cleanups): * doc/lispref/edebug.texi (Checking Whether to Stop): * doc/lispref/eval.texi (Eval): * doc/lispref/variables.texi (Local Variables): * doc/misc/calc.texi (Recursion Depth): Update documentation. * etc/NEWS: Announce. * src/eval.c (FletX): Use safe iteration to guard against circular bindings list.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This change was inspired by comments from Štěpán Němec in: https://lists.gnu.org/r/emacs-devel/2020-04/msg01063.html * doc/lispref/objects.texi (Lisp Data Types): Mention mutability. (Constants and mutability): New section. * doc/lispintro/emacs-lisp-intro.texi (Lists diagrammed) (Indent Tabs Mode): Improve wording. * doc/lispref/eval.texi (Self-Evaluating Forms): Say that they return constants. * doc/lispref/lists.texi (Sets And Lists): Fix memql mistake/confusion that I recently introduced.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch builds on a suggested patch by Mattias Engdegård and on further comments by Eli Zaretskii. Original bug report by Kevin Vigouroux (Bug#40671). * doc/lispintro/emacs-lisp-intro.texi (set & setq, Review) (setcar, Lists diagrammed, Mail Aliases, Indent Tabs Mode): setq is a special form, not a function or command. * doc/lispintro/emacs-lisp-intro.texi (setcar): * doc/lispref/lists.texi (Modifying Lists, Rearrangement): * doc/lispref/sequences.texi (Sequence Functions) (Array Functions, Vectors): * doc/lispref/strings.texi (String Basics, Modifying Strings): Mention mutable vs constant objects. * doc/lispintro/emacs-lisp-intro.texi (setcar, setcdr) (kill-new function, cons & search-fwd Review): * doc/lispref/edebug.texi (Printing in Edebug): * doc/lispref/keymaps.texi (Changing Key Bindings): * doc/lispref/lists.texi (Setcar, Setcdr, Rearrangement) (Sets And Lists, Association Lists, Plist Access): * doc/lispref/sequences.texi (Sequence Functions) (Array Functions): * doc/lispref/strings.texi (Text Comparison): Fix examples so that they do not try to change constants.
