Convert describe-syntax-table to more general describe-char-table. (Will also be used by display tables.) Create new describe-syntax-table, compatible with old function, that uses describe-char-table. 2005-11-13 Ben Wing <ben(a)xemacs.org&gt; * diagnose.el (show-memory-usage): Conditionalize `sort-numeric-fields' on when-fboundp. build source patch: Diff command: bash -ci "cvs-diff --show-c-function -no-changelog " Files affected: lisp/syntax.el Index: lisp/syntax.el =================================================================== RCS file: /pack/xemacscvs/XEmacs/xemacs/lisp/syntax.el,v retrieving revision 1.4 diff -u -p -r1.4 syntax.el --- lisp/syntax.el 2001/05/04 22:42:15 1.4 +++ lisp/syntax.el 2005/11/13 10:56:52 ＠＠ -2,6 +2,7 ＠＠ ;; Copyright (C) 1993, 1997 Free Software Foundation, Inc. ;; Copyright (C) 1995 Sun Microsystems. +;; Copyright (C) 2005 Ben Wing. ;; This file is part of XEmacs. ＠＠ -238,7 +239,11 ＠＠ This is similar to `map-char-table', but ; spec (aref o ?a) (aref n ?a))))))))  -(defun describe-syntax-table (table stream) +(defun describe-char-table (table mapper describe-value stream) +"Describe char-table TABLE, outputting to STREAM. +MAPPER maps over the table and should be `map-char-table' or +`map-syntax-table'.
