Abolish max-specpdl-size (bug#57911)
The max-lisp-eval-depth limit is sufficient to prevent unbounded stack growth including the specbind stack; simplify matters for the user by not having them to worry about two different limits. This change turns max-specpdl-size into a harmless variable with no effects, to keep existing code happy. * lisp/subr.el (max-specpdl-size): Define as an ordinary (but obsolete) dynamic variable. * admin/grammars/Makefile.in: * doc/lispintro/emacs-lisp-intro.texi (Loops & Recursion): * doc/lispref/control.texi (Cleanups): * doc/lispref/edebug.texi (Checking Whether to Stop): * doc/lispref/eval.texi (Eval): * doc/lispref/variables.texi (Local Variables): * doc/misc/calc.texi (Recursion Depth): Update documentation. * etc/NEWS: Announce. * src/eval.c (FletX): Use safe iteration to guard against circular bindings list. (syms_of_eval): Remove old max-specpdl-size definition. (init_eval_once, restore_stack_limits, call_debugger) (signal_or_quit, grow_specpdl_allocation): * leim/Makefile.in: * lisp/Makefile.in: * lisp/calc/calc-stuff.el (calc-more-recursion-depth) (calc-less-recursion-depth): * lisp/calc/calc.el (calc-do): * lisp/cedet/semantic/ede-grammar.el (ede-proj-makefile-insert-rules): * lisp/cedet/semantic/grammar.el (semantic-grammar-batch-build-one-package): * lisp/cus-start.el (standard): * lisp/emacs-lisp/comp.el (comp--native-compile): * lisp/emacs-lisp/edebug.el (edebug-max-depth): (edebug-read-and-maybe-wrap-form, edebug-default-enter): * lisp/emacs-lisp/regexp-opt.el (regexp-opt): * lisp/eshell/esh-mode.el (eshell-mode): * lisp/loadup.el (max-specpdl-size): * lisp/mh-e/mh-e.el (mh-invisible-headers): * lisp/net/shr.el (shr-insert-document, shr-descend): * lisp/play/hanoi.el (hanoi-internal): * lisp/progmodes/cperl-mode.el: * src/fileio.c (Fdo_auto_save): Remove references to and modifications of max-specpdl-size.
