;;; Commentary:
|
||
|
|
||
|
;; Compat is the Elisp forwards compatibility library, which provides
|
||
|
;; definitions introduced in newer Emacs versions. The definitions
|
||
|
;; are only installed if necessary for your current Emacs version. If
|
||
|
;; Compat is compiled on a recent version of Emacs, all of the
|
||
|
;; definitions are disabled at compile time, such that no negative
|
||
|
;; performance impact is incurred. The provided compatibility
|
||
|
;; implementations of functions and macros are at least subsets of the
|
||
|
;; actual implementations. Be sure to read the documentation string
|
||
|
;; and the Compat manual.
|
||
|
;;
|
||
|
;; Not every function provided in newer versions of Emacs is provided
|
||
|
;; here. Some depend on new features from the C core, others cannot
|
||
|
;; be implemented to a meaningful degree. Please consult the Compat
|
||
|
;; manual for details regarding the usage of the Compat library and
|
||
|
;; the provided functionality.
|
||
|
|
||
|
;; The main audience for this library are not regular users, but
|
||
|
;; package maintainers. Therefore no commands, user-facing modes or
|
||
|
;; user options are implemented here.
|
||
|
|
||
|
;;; Code:
|
||
|
|
||
|
;; Ensure that the newest compatibility layer is required at compile
|
||
|
;; time and runtime, but only if needed.

If the Emacs version provides a sufficiently recent version of

|

returns the symbol of a compatibility function which supports the
|
||
|
behavior and calling convention of the current stable Emacs
|
||
|
version. For example Compat 29.1 will provide compatibility
|
||
|
functions which implement the behavior and calling convention of

Emacs 29.1.

|

A good example function is `plist-get' which was extended with an
|
||
|
additional predicate argument in Emacs 29.1. The compatibility
|
||
|
function, which supports this additional argument, can be
|
||
|
obtained via (compat-function plist-get) and called
|
||
|
via (compat-call plist-get plist prop predicate). It is not
|
||
|
possible to directly call (plist-get plist prop predicate) on
|
||
|
Emacs older than 29.1, since the original `plist-get' function
|
||
|
does not yet support the predicate argument. Note that the
|
||
|
Compat library never overrides existing functions.
