This is in preparation for general.el integration coming in 2.1.1. It is
very likely that map! will change (and even more, be split into several
macros). Not much, but change none-the-less. Specifically, the state
keywords (e.g. :nvi, :n, :i) will be removed in favor of a :state
property that takes a list, e.g. (normal visual insert).
In any case, both map! and general are also relatively expensive
compared to define-key and evil-define-key* (and the new define-key!
macro), so use that when we can.
This also means changes to either API won't affect Doom's modules in the
long term.
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.
Offers an alternative for invoking c++-mode via M-x. The default M-x
interfaces for helm and ivy treat input as regexp, thus not reading +'s
literally, which can be annoying.
Doom used to have its own cc-mode style, which was difficult to
customize without first undoing all its changes.
A doom entry has been added to c-style-alist, which represents
a marriage of various styles (mostly linux), plus some context-sensitive
indentation functions which I think are reasonable.
More importantly, it can be disabled by changing c-default-style.
Also, removed a few hacks that have been merged into v5.33+ of cc-mode.
25.1 users beware! You may not have these changes.
~/.doom.d/modules is now a full module tree, like ~/.emacs.d/modules.
Symlinks are no longer involved.
Private modules can now shadow Doom modules. e.g.
~/.doom.d/modules/lang/org will take precendence over
~/.emacs.d/modules/lang/org.
Also, made doom--*-load-path variables public (e.g. doom--site-load-path
=> doom-site-load-path), and rearranged the load-path for a 10-15%
startup boost.
+ 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.
