;;; Commentary:
;; The Compat package on ELPA provides forward-compatibility
;; definitions for other packages. While mostly transparent, a
;; minimal API is necessary whenever core definitions change calling
;; conventions (e.g. `plist-get' can be invoked with a predicate from
;; Emacs 29.1 onward). For core packages on ELPA to be able to take
;; advantage of this functionality, the macros `compat-function' and
;; `compat-call' have to be available in the core, usable even if
;; users do not have the Compat package installed, which this file
;; ensures.
;; A basic introduction to Compat is given in the Info node `(elisp)
;; Forwards Compatibility'. Further details on Compat are documented
;; in the Info node `(compat) Top' (installed along with the Compat
;; package) or read the same manual online:
;; https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/doc/compat.html.
;;; Code:
(defmacro compat-function (fun)
"Return compatibility function symbol for FUN.
This is a pseudo-compatibility stub for core packages on ELPA,
that depend on the Compat package, whenever the user doesn't have
the package installed on their current system."
`#',fun)
(defmacro compat-call (fun &rest args)
"Call compatibility function or macro FUN with ARGS.
This is a pseudo-compatibility stub for core packages on ELPA,
that depend on the Compat package, whenever the user doesn't have
the package installed on their current system."
(cons fun args))
;;;; Clever trick to avoid installing Compat if not necessary
;; The versioning scheme of the Compat package follows that of Emacs,
;; to indicate the version of Emacs, that functionality is being
;; provided for. For example, the Compat version number 29.2.3.9
;; would attempt to provide compatibility definitions up to Emacs
;; 29.2, while also designating that this is the third major release
;; and ninth minor release of Compat, for the specific Emacs release.
;; The package version of this file is specified programmatically,
;; instead of giving a fixed version in the header of this file. This
;; is done to ensure that the version of compat.el provided by Emacs
;; always corresponds to the current version of Emacs. In addition to
;; the major-minor version, a large "major release" makes sure that
;; the built-in version of Compat is always preferred over an external
;; installation. This means that if a package specifies a dependency
;; on Compat which matches the current or an older version of Emacs
;; that is being used, no additional dependencies have to be
;; downloaded.
;;
;; Further details and background on this file can be found in the
;; bug#66554 discussion.
