Sometimes Emacs 20.7 is faster than the current Emacs 21 and sometimes it is slower. forward-char Emacs 21 faster forward-line Emacs 21 faster forward-word Emacs 20 faster forward-sentence Emacs 20 c
Here are timing results from code that evokes (sit-for 0). Currently, Emacs 20 is much faster than Emacs 21. The machine used is a Pentium I, 100 MHz, 58 Mb RAM GNU Emacs 20.7.2 (i386-debian-linux-gn
This paper might be very useful for making Emacs use Guile. I have not seen the paper itself. -- Start of forwarded message -- Date: Fri, 23 Nov 2001 19:17:00 -0700 (MST) From: "Nelson H. F. Beebe" <
The code is being slowly converted to new-style backquotes, so I don't think there will be too many objections. The only thing is that experience seems to show that converting is not as straightforw
The usual approach is to have a single catalog for each separately distributed package. For example, there's one catalog for diffutils, another catalog for textutils, etc. There isn't a separate cat
Personally, I do not think we should burden ourselves with this at all. I certainly would not give a .web file to etags, and _not_ giving .web files to etags is easily automated :-) So I _believe_ t
Well, it could go different ways. I guess there's three different parts to this: 1. I want to have more ways to find the name of a function, variable, or mode that does X. X could be something as spe
Would be nice to have that, but it's a non-trivial project, I think. The rules for such reverse engineering are most of the time fuzzy, so it's not easy to program. Are you familiar with the cross-re
Can't you write some code in elisp which does this sort of thing automatically, and determines the best method to use for a given system? The automated detection can try the inline methods first, and
