please explain diff bet. K&R and Linux c-mode styles

[seberino]

Linux kernel docs recommend K&R c-mode style...

then what is "Linux c-mode style"?? How is it different?

C-h v c-style-alist

That'll show you all the styles in their gory detail.

I tried your command... there was no function or
variable called c-style-alist in Emacs. :(

I don't see a c-style-alist either.  Check out
http://www.science.uva.nl/~mes/jargon/i/indentstyle.html
I think Linux style is the same as GNU style. You could
also just type in a few functions and see the fundamental
differences.

Re: please explain diff bet. K&R and Linux c-mode styles

[Alfred M. Szmidt]

   I think Linux style is the same as GNU style. You could
   also just type in a few functions and see the fundamental
   differences.

Linux style and GNU style are completely different.  The coding style
that is used in Linux looks similar to K&R.  The main difference
between Linux and K&R style is that Linux uses TAB characters to
indent where as K&R uses four spaces.  

The GNU Coding Standard describes the GNU style
(http://www.gnu.org/pre/standards.html), and the file
Documentation/CodingStyle in the source code for Linux described the
Linux style.

if statements:
GNU style          Linux style         K&R style

if (foobar)        if (foobar) {       if (foobar) {
  {                        foo;            foo;
    foo;           }                   }
  }


functions:
GNU style         Linux style          K&R style

int
foobar (void)     int foobar (void)    int foobar (void)
{                 {                    {
  return 1;               return 1;        return 1;
}                 }                    }

Emacs Lisp: Problem with nested condition-case and catch in byte compiled code

[Greg Hill]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2823 bytes --]

This one has me stumped.

Here is my source code:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
(defun cctest ()
   (interactive)
   (catch 'cctest
     (message "before condition-case in catch, (interactive-p) = %s"
	     (interactive-p))
     (condition-case nil
	(message "inside condition-case in catch, (interactive-p) = %s"
		(interactive-p))
       (error nil))
     (message "after condition-case in catch, (interactive-p) = %s"
	     (interactive-p)))

   (message "before condition-case after catch, (interactive-p) = %s"
	   (interactive-p))
   (condition-case nil
       (message "inside condition-case after catch, (interactive-p) = %s"
	       (interactive-p))
     (error nil))
   (message "after condition-case after catch, (interactive-p) = %s"
	   (interactive-p))

   (condition-case nil
       (progn
	(message "before catch in condition-case, (interactive-p) = %s"
		(interactive-p))
	(catch 'cctest
	  (message "inside catch in condition-case, (interactive-p) = %s"
		   (interactive-p)))
	(message "after catch in condition-case, (interactive-p) = %s"
		(interactive-p)))
     (error nil)))
----------------------------------------------------------------------------


If I load the .el source file and execute cctest interactively, I get:

-------------------------------------------------------
before condition-case in catch, (interactive-p) = t
inside condition-case in catch, (interactive-p) = t
after condition-case in catch, (interactive-p) = t
before condition-case after catch, (interactive-p) = t
inside condition-case after catch, (interactive-p) = t
after condition-case after catch, (interactive-p) = t
before catch in condition-case, (interactive-p) = t
inside catch in condition-case, (interactive-p) = t
after catch in condition-case, (interactive-p) = t
-------------------------------------------------------


If I byte compile, load the .elc, and execute cctest interactively, I get:

-------------------------------------------------------
before condition-case in catch, (interactive-p) = t
inside condition-case in catch, (interactive-p) = nil
after condition-case in catch, (interactive-p) = t
before condition-case after catch, (interactive-p) = t
inside condition-case after catch, (interactive-p) = t
after condition-case after catch, (interactive-p) = t
before catch in condition-case, (interactive-p) = t
inside catch in condition-case, (interactive-p) = nil
after catch in condition-case, (interactive-p) = t
-------------------------------------------------------


There seems to be something special about a call to (interactive-p) 
inside a condition-case inside a catch, or inside a catch inside a 
condition-case, in byte-compiled code.  But for the life of me I 
can't imagine what that could be.  Anybody have any ideas?

A bit more experimentation shows that nesting a catch inside a catch 
or a condition-case inside a condition-case causes the same problem.

I'm beginning to think I must have stumbled across a bug in either 
the byte compiler or the byte-code interpreter.

Or more likely in the `interactive-p' function which does a lot of ad-hoc
parsing of the call-stack and is thus susceptible to funny things.

Re: Emacs Lisp: Problem with nested condition-case and catch in byte compiled code

[Greg Hill]

Stefan,

As you surmised, it turned out to be a bug in the interactive-p 
function, where it checks to see whether it is executing 
byte-compiled code.  I submitted a formal bug report, and Richard 
Stallman promptly sent me a patch that fixes the problem.  I assume 
that when he is entirely comfortable with it, he will make the patch 
generally available.

Lisp: Functions for multiple comparisons

[Greg Hill]

I am aware of the built-in functions memq and member.  But what I 
really want is a pair of special forms that work more like 'or and 
'and.  The first argument would be compared against all of the rest 
using either 'eq or 'equal, returning 't if any match was found.

For example, a special form using an 'eq comarison might be named 
'meq and be called like:

	(meq (char-syntax (following-char)) ?w ?_)

instead of using

	(memq (char-syntax (following-char) '(?w ?_)))
or
	(or (eq (char-syntax (following-char)) ?w) (eq (char-syntax 
(following-char)) ?_))
or
	(let ((syntax (char-syntax (following-char)))) (or (eq syntax 
?w) (eq syntax ?_)))

Is there already something like that that I simply am not yet aware 
of?  If not, am I wrong in thinking that the kind of special forms I 
am imagining would be computationally more efficient than any of the 
alternatives shown above?

memq is pretty fast given the general slowness of the elisp interpreter.
If you really care about the few extra chars, then you can of course do

   (defun meq (x &rest xs) (memq x xs))

although I honestly don't see the point.

Perhaps avoiding cutting too much:

Greg Hill <ghill@synergymicro.com> writes:

> really want is a pair of special forms that work more like 'or and

So, Greg  wants a special form like  'or or 'and.  That  is, with lazy
evaluation of the remaining arguments!

(defmacro meq (key &rest values)
  `(let ((meq_key    ,key)
         (meq_values ',values))
    (while (and meq_values (not (eq meq_key (eval (car meq_values)))))
      (setq meq_values (cdr meq_values)))
    meq_values))

(show (macroexpand (quote (meq 12  (+ 9 1) (+ 10 2) (length (make-vector 1e9)) 13))))

==> (let ((meq_key 12) (meq_values (quote ((+ 9 1) (+ 10 2) (length (make-vector 1000000000.0)) 13)))) (while (and meq_values (not (eq meq_key (eval (car meq_values))))) (setq meq_values (cdr meq_values))) meq_values)

(show (meq 12  (+ 9 1) (+ 10 2) (length (make-vector 1e9)) 13))

==> ((+ 10 2) (length (make-vector 1000000000.0)) 13)


But of course, it you only  use lists of constants like '(?w ?_), it's
better to use memq which is a primitive.

Index of element in a sequence

[Greg Hill]

Are there any built-in functions that provide the equivalent of the 
following lisp routines?

(defun indq (value seq)
   "Return the index number of VALUE in sequence SEQ, using eq for test.
Return nil if VALUE does not exist in SEQ."
   (let ((ix 0) (len (length seq)))
     (catch 'indq
       (while (< ix len)
	(if (eq (elt seq ix) value)
	    (throw 'indq ix)
	  (setq ix (1+ ix)) ) ) ) ))


(defun index (value seq)
   "Return the index number of VALUE in sequence SEQ, using equal for test.
Return nil if VALUE does not exist in SEQ."
   (let ((ix 0) (len (length seq)))
     (catch 'index
       (while (< ix len)
	(if (equal (elt seq ix) value)
	    (throw 'index ix)

The 'position' function can be loaded with (require 'cl).
