I think that's an interesting idea.  Currently, there's this odd
difference between C- and Lisp-defined functions/variables, where
Lisp-defined ones are always available, even if the Emacs build doesn't
support the feature, and the C ones aren't.

So it makes sense conceptually to move the DEFUN/DEFVARs outside the
#ifdefs (but stub out the innards).  However, I think that'll lead to a
lot of regressions in code out there -- it's super common (and
recommended practice) to check whether a C level function is fboundp as
a signal that it works, and making these functions always available
would break that.

So I don't think this is a feasible direction to go in.

That's correct.  IIUC this is what Stefan meant as well.

Other than the work to go there the maintenance might not be trivial, and
elns most likely would be still not compatible between Emacs versions.

That said I can't comment on the trade off.

AFAIU, if the set of the primitives is identical in the builds, the
*.eln files should be compatible.  But I think there are primitives in
some of these builds that don't exist in others; thus my question.

Even if this makes sense (and I'm not sure it does), this is a lot of
work for very little gain.

No, just make sure the hash used to find the `.eln` doesn't depend
whether the build is made with Lucid or Gtk or something else.

IIUC this mostly means that all the Gtk/Lucid/X11-specific
functions&variables exported to ELisp will need to be exported in all
the builds (probably with dummy definitions).

You want to remove the dependence of .eln files on the primitives that

Package: Emacs
Version: 29.0.50


It would be good to try and make sure the `.eln` files can be shared
between different builds of the release tarballs (ie. the exact same
source code, just configured differently).  This would be beneficial for
example for distributions like Debian which offer `emacs-nox`,
`emacs-gtk`, and emacs-lucid` variants, which could then share the
`.eln` files.

Obviously, we can't share them between all the different combinations of
build options (e.g. `wide-int` and `non-wide-int`) but it shouldn't be
too hard to make sure they can be shared for many/most other choices, IIUC.
