I am slowly phasing out the setting system (def-setting! and set!),
starting with these.
What are autodefs? These are functions that are always defined, whether
or not their respective modules are enabled. However, when their modules
are disabled, they are replaced with macros that no-op and don't
waste time evaluating their arguments.
The old set! function will still work, for a while.
Now that we are loading package autoloads files (as part of the
generated doom-package-autoload-file when running make autoloads), many
:commands properties are redundant. In fact, many def-package! blocks
are redundant.
In some cases, we can do without a config.el file entirely, and can move
into the autoloads file or rely entirely on package autoloads.
Also, many settings have been moved in their module's autoloads files,
which makes them available ASAP; their use no longer depends on module
load order.
This gained me a modest ~10% boost in startup speed.
This makes quickrun, *doom eval* and *Pp Eval Output* buffers behave
better.
Eval output buffers should a) shrink themselves to the size of their
output (within reason), b) *not* grab focus, and c) be easy to close
from afar with C-g/Escape.
Gotchas:
1. Quickrun gets output asynchronously, so we shrink it on
quickrun-after-run-hook, not in the popup rule.
2. *doom eval* and *Pp Eval Output* opens with its output ready, so the
popup system may shrink those to fit.
3. *doom eval* and *Pp Eval Output* handle window selection themselves.
Let them by setting the select window parameter to #'ignore.
This is a breaking change! Update your :popup settings. Old ones will
throw errors!
Doom's new popup management system casts off its shackles (hur hur) and
replaces them with the monster that is `display-buffer-alist`, and
window parameters.
However, this is highly experimental! Expect edge cases. Particularly
with org-mode and magit (or anything that does its own window
management).
Relevant to #261, #263, #325
There is no guarantee that the quickrun buffer will have all its output
when spawned, making :autofit unpredictable; usually making them too
small, so we disable :autofit and do it manually, once the output is
ready.
set! used to aggressively evaluate its arguments (at expansion-time),
even if placed inside an after! block. This causes unavoidable errors if
those arguments use functions/variables that don't exist yet.
Fixes#112
+ enable lexical-scope everywhere (lexical-binding = t): ~5-10% faster
startup; ~5-20% general boost
+ reduce consing, function calls & garbage collection by preferring
cl-loop & dolist over lambda closures (for mapc[ar], add-hook, and
various cl-lib filter/map/reduce functions) -- where possible
+ prefer functions with dedicated opcodes, like assq (see byte-defop's
in bytecomp.el for more)
+ prefer pcase & cond (faster) over cl-case
+ general refactor for code readability
+ ensure naming & style conventions are adhered to
+ appease byte-compiler by marking unused variables with underscore
+ defer minor mode activation to after-init, emacs-startup or
window-setup hooks; a customization opportunity for users + ensures
custom functionality won't interfere with startup.
