--- Begin Message ---Subject: 27.0; Unclear NEWS item: pointer instead of integer Date: Thu, 21 Dec 2017 13:58:22 -0800 (PST) I don't understand this item at all. It seems to be the wording that is a problem, starting with the second line. ** Emacs now normally uses a pointer type instead of an integer type for the fundamental word in the Emacs Lisp interpreter, to help catch typos and support -fcheck-pointer-bounds. The 'configure' option --enable-check-lisp-object-type is therefore no longer as useful and so is no longer enabled by default in developer builds, to reduce differences between developer and production builds. In GNU Emacs 27.0.50 (build 4, x86_64-w64-mingw32) of 2017-12-21 Repository revision: b1cf262a79463f28164ea1c2ffee3c657ce02ea4 Windowing system distributor `Microsoft Corp.', version 6.1.7601 Configured using: `configure --without-dbus --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --without-compress-install -C 'CFLAGS=-O2 -static -g3' host_alias=x86_64-w64-mingw32 PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/mingw64/lib/pkgconfig'
