Subject: bug#29804: 27.0; Unclear NEWS item: pointer instead of integer
Date: Thu, 21 Dec 2017 13:58:22 -0800 (PST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <9339a40e-b102-4452-aa57-2dd8355441c9@default> (raw)
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.
