I've been working on a portable dumper for GNU Emacs. The attached patch
is an early version of this work. I'll write up all the usual NEWS
entries, changelogs, and (in this case necessary) dedicated
documentation before I land it. I want to start getting review comments
now that the code has roughly its final shape.
Thanks for your efforts, but I think this is a wrong direction, that
will eventually get us into the same problem we have with unexec: the
need to know and depend on intimate details of relocations, memory
allocation, etc. On top of that, adding Lisp objects will now require
writing its dumper back-end, so this will be a constant maintenance
burden of the kind that only a few of us can bear.
