[Emacs-diffs] scratch/record ab76bca 3/7: Make EIEIO use records.

[Lars Brinkhoff]

branch: scratch/record
commit ab76bca4f50117c48248ebdb158c1b694379e99c
Author: Stefan Monnier <address@hidden>
Commit: Lars Brinkhoff <address@hidden>

    Make EIEIO use records.
    
    * lisp/emacs-lisp/eieio-core.el: Use records, and place the class object
    directly as tag.
    (eieio--object-class): Adjust to new tag representation.
    (eieio-object-p): Rewrite.
    (eieio-defclass-internal): Use `make-record'.
    (eieio--generic-generalizer): Adjust generalizer code accordingly.
    
    * lisp/emacs-lisp/eieio.el (make-instance, clone): Use copy-record.
    
    * lisp/emacs-lisp/pcase.el (pcase-mutually-exclusive-predicates):
    Add `recordp'.
    
    * doc/lispref/records.texi, doc/misc/eieio.texi: Update for records.
