[Emacs-diffs] master d98f783: Fix (mapcar F S) crash when F alters S’s length

[Paul Eggert]

branch: master
commit d98f7834266beed9b1c7b561168570938ec2c6bf
Author: Paul Eggert <address@hidden>
Commit: Paul Eggert <address@hidden>

    Fix (mapcar F S) crash when F alters S’s length
    
    * src/fns.c (mapcar1): Return number of elements computed,
    which can be less than LENI if the function alters the list.
    All callers changed.  (Bug#24118)
