+Readme File for the package `localloc' by Bernd Raichle
+Copyright (C) 1991,1994,1995 Bernd Raichle. All rights reserved.
+
+ The `localloc' package reimplements plain-TeX's basic allocation
+macros to allow local allocation of registers. It can be used with
+ * plain-TeX,
+ * LaTeX2e,
+ * LaTeX 2.09,
+and all other formats which are based on plain-TeX.
+ In the past people complained about the restriction of 256
+registers imposed by TeX and want either more registers or a more
+clever way to maintain this limited resource. This package shows
+and implements a mechanism which doesn't remove this restrictions
+but allows local allocation of registers. Using this mechanism
+you can often replace global register allocations by ones local
+to a group allowing the register to be used for other purposes
+after the group is left.
+
+
+Installation:
+-------------
+
+This package contains 2 files, namely
+ * localloc.README This README file
+ * localloc.dtx The docstrip archive file containing the
+ source for the macro file `localloc.sty'
+ and the documentation.
+
+To unpack the archive file you need `docstrip.tex' version 2.x or
+newer. You can find this file in the LaTeX2e release; it can be
+used with plain-TeX _and_ LaTeX. Run `localloc.dtx' through
+plainTeX or LaTeX to unpack the archive file:
+ tex localloc.dtx
+or
+ latex localloc.dtx

+% ========== INSTALLATION GUIDE: ==========
+%
+% The complete distribution consists of a set of files, which are
+% packed and documented in _one_ `docstrip archive file' called
+% `localloc.dtx' (the file you are currently reading). This archive
+% file can be unpacked to create the necessary files containing the
+% macros, documentation, etc.
+%
+% To unpack the archive file you need:
+%
+% * `localloc.dtx' (it is the file you are currently reading)
+%
+% * `docstrip.tex' version 2.x or newer
+% (You can find this file in the LaTeX 2e release.)
+%
+% Then run `localloc.dtx' through plainTeX or LaTeX to unpack the
+% archive file:
+%
+% tex localloc.dtx
+% or
+% latex localloc.dtx
+%
+% This will create a set of file which contain the macro code or
+% code to produce the documentation of the `localloc' package.

+% \section{Introduction}
+%
+% \subsection{Restrictions of {\tt plain.tex}'s Register Allocation Macros}
+%
+% In {\tt plain.tex}, Donald E.\ Knuth writes about the macros for
+% register allocation~\cite[lines 149ff]{plain.tex-3.14159}:
+% \begin{quote}
+% When a register is used only temporarily, it need not be
+% allocated; grouping can be used, making the value previously in
+% the register return after the close of the group. The main use
+% of these macros is for registers that are defined by one macro
+% and used by others, possibly at different nesting levels. All
+% such registers should be defined through these macros; otherwise
+% conflicts may occur, especially when two or more more macro
+% packages are being used at once.
+% \end{quote}
+% Additional remarks can be read in the TeXbook~\cite[p.~346]{DEK91}:
+% \begin{quote}
+% {\it Allocation of registers.\/} The second major part of the
+% {\tt plain.tex} file provides a foundation on which systems of
+% independently developed macros can coexist peacefully without
+% interfering in their usage of registers. The idea is that macro
+% writers should abide by the macro conventions following ground
+% rules: [\ldots]
+% (4)~Furthermore, it's possible to use any register in a group, if
+% you ensure that \TeX's grouping mechanism will restore the
+% register when you're done with the group, and if you are certain
+% that other macros will not make global assignments to that
+% register when you need it. \
+% (5)~But when a register is used by several macros, or over long
+% spans of time, it should be allocated by \verb+\newcount+,
+% \verb+\newdimen+, \verb+\newbox+, etc. \ (6)~Similar remarks apply
+% [\ldots]
+% to insertions (which require \verb+\box+, \verb+\count+,
+% \verb+\dimen+, and \verb+\skip+ registers all having the same
+% number).
+% \end{quote}
+%
+% This means, that within plain-\TeX\ and all formats based on
+% plain-\TeX\ a user can not allocate a register for temporary use
+% using the given mechanisms. Nonetheless there is often the need
+% for a allocated register which is only used within a rather small
+% piece of document text and should be set free for reuse in the rest
+% of the formatting run:
+%
+% If a macro~\verb+\macroa+ needs a register which should never be
+% destroyed by another macro~\verb+\macrob+ which is called by
+% \verb+\macroa+, you either have to know about the realisation of
+% \verb+\macrob+ or you have to allocate a new register.
+%
+% The name of this newly allocated register is only known to the
+% macro package in which macro~\verb+\macroa+ resides. If you have
+% a lot of macros which needs registers by their own it is possible
+% that all of the 256~registers of one type will be allocated. In
+% most cases it would be possible to share some of these registers by
+% more than one macro because the register is only needed within (an
+% environment delimited by) a group. To share registers---if they are
+% used only locally---it will be necessary to provide a mechanism to
+% allocate registers locally. Unfortunately {\tt plain.tex} and all
+% derived formats, like \LaTeX, misses this mechanism leading to the
+% problem that some macro packages cannot be combined.
+%
+% In the following example it is necessary to call two macros
+% |\macroa| and |macrob| in the same group (e.g.\ because |\macroa|
+% performs special actions at the begin and |\macrob| at the end of
+% an environment). Further you do not have any knowledge about the
+% use of scratch register in |\macroa|, |\macrob| or the text in the
+% argument specified by the user. Therefore it is impossible to use
+% a scratch register to save the current value of |\hsize|; we have
+% to allocate a new register to save it.
+%\begin{verbatim}
+% \newdimen\savedhsize
+%\end{verbatim}
+%\begin{verbatim}
+% \def\callAandB#1{\begingroup
+% \savedhsize=\hsize
+% \hsize=0.8\hsize \macroa
+% #1\relax
+% \hsize=\savedhsize \macrob
+% \endgroup}
+%\end{verbatim}
+% If there will be a mechanism, e.g. by a macro |\lnewdimen|, to
+% allocate a local register it is possible to use this local register
+% inside the group without worrying about possible dependencies
+% between the macros and the user specified text. Additionally after
+% leaving the group, the dimen register will be free to be used by
+% other macros.
+%\begin{verbatim}
+% \def\callAandB#1{\begingroup
+% \lnewdimen\savedhsize \savedhsize=\hsize
+% \hsize=0.8\hsize \macroa
+% #1\relax
+% \hsize=\savedhsize \macrob
+% \endgroup}
+%\end{verbatim}
+%

+% \subsection{Local Register Allocation Macros}
+%
+% \DescribeMacro{\newcount}
+% \DescribeMacro{\newdimen}
+% \DescribeMacro{\newskip}
+% \DescribeMacro{\newbox}
+% {\let\newinsert=\relax \DescribeMacro{\newinsert}}^^A
+% When using this reimplementation of the allocation macros, the {\tt
+% plain.tex} macros |\newcount|, |\newdimen|, |\newskip|, and
+% |\newbox| will have a changed behaviour in two aspects:
+% \begin{itemize}
+% \item Do not assume that registers which are allocated consecutively
+% have consecutive register numbers. In general you should not
+% make any assumption about the order of register numbers.
+% \item It is possible that a register was locally allocated and used
+% in the past. After leaving the group the register is set to free
+% and the old value---normally zero---is restored. Nonetheless
+% you should not assume that a newly allocated register is
+% initialised with the value zero.
+% \end{itemize}
+%
+% {\let\newmuskip=\relax \DescribeMacro{\newmuskip}}
+% {\let\newtoks=\relax \DescribeMacro{\newtoks}}^^A
+% The behaviour of the macros |\newmuskip| and |\newtoks| are not
+% changed because they are not used for insertions. Nonetheless this
+% can be changed in a future version.
+%
+% \DescribeMacro{\lnewcount}
+% \DescribeMacro{\lnewdimen}
+% \DescribeMacro{\lnewskip}
+% \DescribeMacro{\lnewmuskip}
+% \DescribeMacro{\lnewbox}
+% \DescribeMacro{\lnewtoks}
+% |\lnewcount|, |\lnewdimen|, |\lnewskip|, |\lnewmuskip|, |\lnewbox|,
+% and |\lnewtoks| are the set of new macros to allocate registers
+% within the scope of the current group. At the end of the current
+% group the allocated register is freed.
+%
+% As with their global counterparts you should not assume that the
+% registers are allocated in a consecutive order---neither increasing
+% nor decreasing---or that the allocated register is initialised with
+% zero.
+%
+%
+% \subsection{Usage Examples}
+%
+% \subsubsection{\LaTeX's Picture Environment}
+%
+% \LaTeX's picture environment uses the box register |\@picbox| and
+% the dimen register |\@picht| to save the contents of a picture and
+% the user specified height of this picture at the beginning of the
+% environment. These two registers are set at the beginning and used
+% at the end of the |picture| environment. Because the two registers
+% are used nowhere else, it is possible to share them by only
+% allocating them within the environment.
+%
+% This is the simplified code for the |\begin{picture}| and
+% |\end{picture}| commands; the macros |\begin| and |\end| start and
+% end a new group:
+%\begin{verbatim}
+%\newbox\@picbox
+%\newdimen\@picht
+%\end{verbatim}
+%\begin{verbatim}
+%\def\picture(#1,#2){%
+% \@picht = #2\unitlength % save picture height
+% \setbox\@picbox = \hbox to #1\unitlength\bgroup
+% \ignorespaces}
+%\end{verbatim}
+%\begin{verbatim}
+%\def\endpicture{%
+% \hss
+% \egroup % close picture box
+% \ht\@picbox = \@picht % set box height to save picture height
+% \dp\@picbox = 0pt % set box depth to 0pt
+% \mbox{\box\@picbox}} % output this box
+%\end{verbatim}
+%
+% Using the new local allocation macros the code changes is simple:
+% Move the |\newbox| and |\newdimen| command within the |\picture|
+% macro definition and rename them to |\lnewbox| and |\lnewdimen|:
+%\begin{verbatim}
+% %\newbox\@picbox
+% %\newdimen\@picht
+%\end{verbatim}
+%\begin{verbatim}
+%\def\picture(#1,#2){%
+% \lnewbox\@picbox
+% \lnewdimen\@picht
+% \@picht = #2\unitlength % save picture height
+% \setbox\@picbox = \hbox to #1\unitlength\bgroup
+% \ignorespaces}
+%\end{verbatim}
+%
+% Additionally we can use a property of the usage pattern of these
+% two registers:
+% Within a nested use of the |picture| environment---you can use
+% subpictures within a picture---these registers are allocated for
+% each nesting level. This is not really necessary because the box
+% and the dimen register is always used in a group and is never
+% changed globally.
+% It is possible to add tests to avoid a (local) reallocation of
+% these registers:
+%\begin{verbatim}
+%\let\@picbox=\relax % mark register as not yet allocated
+%\let\@picht =\relax % mark register as not yet allocated
+%\end{verbatim}
+%\begin{verbatim}
+%\def\picture(#1,#2){%
+% \ifx\@picbox\relax \lnewbox\@picbox \fi
+% \ifx\@picht\relax \lnewdimen\@picht \fi
+% \@picht = #2\unitlength % save picture height
+% \setbox\@picbox = \hbox to #1\unitlength\bgroup
+% \ignorespaces}
+%\end{verbatim}
+%
+%
+% \subsubsection{\LaTeX's {\tt\protect\bslash multiput} Macro}
+%
+% Another example of registers which are used only in one rarely
+% used macro, are the count register |\@multicnt| and the two dimen
+% registers |\@xdim| and |\@ydim| for the |\multiput| command. To
+% change it according to the scheme above you have to insert an
+% additional grouping.
+%
+% In \LaTeXe\ these three rarely used registers and some more are
+% shared with the |\bezier| command, whose definition has to be
+% changed accordingly. This shows the need---and advantage---of a
+% better allocation scheme.
+%
+% \subsubsection{\PiCTeX}
+%
+% The macro package \PiCTeX\ uses a lot of dimen registers. A subset
+% of these registers are only used within a picture or within a set
+% of drawing and parameter setting commands.
+%
+% As an example the dimen registers |\totalarclength| is only used in
+% a very restrictic set of commands, i.e., it can be allocated within
+% the scope of the higher level commands or within \PiCTeX's
+% |\beginpicture| \ldots\ |\endpicture| environment.

+%
+%
+% \subsection{Accessing the {\tt muskip} registers}
+%
+% Beside the well-known \TeX\ registers, like |\count| or |\box|,
+% there is another set of registers which are used only in few
+% macros. The |\muskip| registers are normally used in math mode
+% only and the coercion of the value in a |\muskip| register to an
+% integer (|\count|), dimension (|\dimen|), or glue (|\glue|)
+% produces an error.
+%
+% The unit of a |\muskip| value is~$1$\,mu---there are $18$\,mu in
+% $1$\,em of the current font in {\em math family~2}. If you
+% assign a value to a |\muskip| register, this value is represented
+% in the unit~mu, not in~pt. The dimension of the |\muskip| value
+% is computed, if this value is used by |\mskip| or |\mkern|.
+%
+% To use a |\muskip| register as a replacement for a |\count|
+% register, it is necessary to do assignments, additions, and other
+% operations in units of~mu. If you want to coerce an
+% integer to a |\muskip| register, you have to get the value with
+% |\the| and add the keyword~|mu| while scanning the number. To get
+% the integer value of a |\muskip| register, you can use the
+% following macro~|\lcllc@cnvmutocnt|.
+%
+% \begin{macro}{\lcllc@cnvmutocnt}
+% The macro |\lcllc@cnvmutocnt| ist called with a |\muskip| register
+% or a value in~|mu| units as its argument. It will expand to the
+% integer value. To get the value of a register, we first expand
+% the value of this register to a list of tokens with \TeX's |\the|
+% primitive.
+% Example: if the register has the value~$3.4$\,mu, the expansion of
+% |\the| produces the tokens $\mbox{\tt 3}_{12} \mbox{\tt .}_{12}
+% \mbox{\tt 4}_{12} \mbox{\tt m}_{12} \mbox{\tt u}_{12}$.
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\def\lcllc@cnvmutocnt#1{\expandafter\lcllc@delmukey\the#1}
+% \end{macrocode}
+%
+% After we have expanded the value of the register, it is necessary
+% to strip of the unit keyword~|mu| and the fraction of the value.
+% To do this, we have to use tokens with {\em category code}~12 to
+% match the expansion string produced by~|\the|.
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\begingroup \catcode`\M=12 \catcode`\U=12 \catcode`\.=12
+ \lowercase{\endgroup
+\def\lcllc@delmukey#1.#2MU{#1}}
+% \end{macrocode}
+% \end{macro}
+%
+%
+% \subsection{Allocation registers}
+%
+% \subsubsection{Registers defined in {\tt plain.tex}}
+%
+% Plain-\TeX's allocation macros use a fixed set of |count|
+% registers containing a set of numbers with the highest allocated
+% register number. To make the following macro code more readable,
+% alias names for these |count| registers are defined.
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\countdef\count@ptr = 10
+\countdef\dimen@ptr = 11
+\countdef\skip@ptr = 12
+\countdef\muskip@ptr = 13
+\countdef\box@ptr = 14
+\countdef\toks@ptr = 15
+\countdef\read@ptr = 16
+\countdef\write@ptr = 17
+\countdef\mathfam@ptr = 18
+% \end{macrocode}
+% {\tt plain.tex} for \TeX~3 introduces a new allocation command
+% needing an additional allocation count register. To simplify the
+% code of this package with older versions of {\tt plain.tex}, a
+% dummy count register is allocated and used.
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\begingroup\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\endgroup
+\expandafter\ifx\csname newlanguage\endcsname\relax
+ \csname newcount\endcsname\language@ptr
+\else
+ \countdef\language@ptr = 19
+\fi
+% \end{macrocode}
+%
+% The allocation command for insertion uses another register, which
+% is already aliased as |\insc@unt|.
+%\begin{verbatim}
+%\countdef\insc@unt = 20 % = 19 in older versions of `plain.tex'

+% \subsubsection{Additional Registers}
+%
+% For the new local allocation macros additional registers are
+% needed containing the boundaries for all types of locally
+% allocated registers. Whereas all globally allocated registers
+% are located in the lower region of the register numbers (with the
+% exception of the set of registers needed for an insertion),
+% locally allocated registers are taken from the higher region of
+% the register numbers---from top towards the bottom.
+%
+% To avoid using six additional count registers we use |\muskip|
+% registers to save the current lower boundary of the allocatable
+% register region. These boundaries are initialised either
+% with~$256$ or the actual boundary of the insertion allocation
+% register.
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\newmuskip\count@limit \count@limit = \the\insc@unt mu
+\newmuskip\dimen@limit \dimen@limit = \the\insc@unt mu
+\newmuskip\skip@limit \skip@limit = \the\insc@unt mu
+\newmuskip\box@limit \box@limit = \the\insc@unt mu
+\newmuskip\muskip@limit \muskip@limit = 256mu
+\newmuskip\toks@limit \toks@limit = 256mu
+% \end{macrocode}
+%
+% To simplify the code of the following allocation macros and to
+% save macro space, two additional |\muskip| registers are
+% allocated and initialised with the constants $16$ and~$256$.
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\newmuskip\cclvi@mu \cclvi@mu = 256mu
+\newmuskip\xvi@mu \xvi@mu = 16mu
+% \end{macrocode}

+% \begin{macro}{\newbox} \begin{macro}{\newtoks}
+% \begin{macro}{\newread} \begin{macro}{\newwrite}
+% \begin{macro}{\newfam} \begin{macro}{\newlanguage}
+% We have to replace the original macros in {\tt plain.tex} by new
+% ones to allow locally allocated registers. Otherwise it will be
+% possible that the two regions, the lower one with globally
+% allocated registers and the higher one with locally allocated
+% registers, will overlap resulting in a double use of the same
+% register.
+%
+% With the new macros it will be unnecessary to un-outer the {\tt
+% plain.tex} macros, because the local allocation macros have to be
+% non outer. Nonetheless we want to use this package in
+% conjunction with \LaTeX\ and therefore we have to define some of
+% them as non outer.
+%
+% The top level macros use the low level macro |\alloc@| which has
+% the following parameters:
+% The boundaries of the lower and the higher region, the type of
+% the allocated register, a flag if we have to check on overlapping
+% with insertion registers, the \TeX\ primitive to be used to
+% define this register, and the user given control sequence.

+%
+% |\newinsert| needs additional code because this macro has to
+% allocate a set of |\box|, |\count|, |\dimen|, and |\skip|
+% registers with the restriction that all registers have to have
+% the same number. |\newinsert| is redefined at the end of this

+%
+% Local allocation macros for |\read|, |\write| streams, math
+% |\fam|, |language| numbers, or insertions are possible but not
+% very useful because of the global nature of these resources.
+%
+%
+% \subsection{Low Level Allocation Macros}
+%
+% The allocation scheme used by the macros in {\tt plain.tex} is
+% simple:
+% \begin{itemize}
+% \item all allocations are global,
+% \item register, math family, language, input/output stream
+% numbers are allocated using the lowest possible number, i.e.,
+% it is done from lower number to higher numbers,
+% \item the set of insertion registers (|box|, |count|, |skip|, and
+% |dimen|), which have to have the same register number, are
+% allocated beginning from~$255$ to lower numbers.
+% \end{itemize}
+%
+% Contrary to this simple scheme this package uses numbers for
+% locally allocated registers from top to bottom interfering with
+% the original insertion register allocation scheme {\it and\/} the
+% simple test for a register number overflow.
+%
+% \begin{macro}{\lcllc@insnums}
+% Insertion registers are now allocated in a non-monotonous order
+% using the lowest possible number (because the allocation of the
+% needed set of registers is done in a global way). To allow the
+% checking of overlapping of globally or locally allocated
+% registers with the registers used for insertions, the insertion
+% register numbers are saved as a list in |\lcllc@insnums|.
+% Each entry in this list is saved as \mbox{\tt\string\do$\langle
+% n\rangle$.}; the list is initialised as empty.
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\def\lcllc@insnums{}
+% \end{macrocode}
+% \end{macro}
+%
+% \begin{macro}{\lcllc@checkins}
+% Whenever a new |box|, |count|, |skip|, or |dimen| register is
+% allocated it has to be checked first, if the next possible
+% free register is already allocated for an insertion.
+%
+% To detect a collision between a possibly free register number and
+% the set of insertion registers, the macro |\lcllc@checkins| is
+% called with the register number to be tested in
+% |\allocationnumber|. The argument of this macro has to be either
+% $1$ or~$-1$ and is used to get the next register number to be
+% tested against the insertion number list if an additional
+% iteration is needed. The result is a register number in
+% |\allocationnumber| which is not used for an insertion. (Note:
+% Nonetheless it can be an out-of-region register number of an
+% already used register!)
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\def\lcllc@checkins#1{%
+ \begingroup
+% \end{macrocode}
+% After opening a new group, the macro |\do| is defined to read the
+% next insertion number delimited by a simple dot. It then tests
+% this number against the current |\allocationnumber| and if the
+% register numbers are equal, |\allocationnumber| is advanced by the
+% given argument (which is $1$ or~$-1$).
+%
+% To avoid a global change of |\allocationnumber|, a group hack
+% with expansion is used: If the list |\lcllc@insnums| is expanded
+% with this definition of |\do|, the result is empty if the
+% register number is not used for an insertion. Otherwise it
+% expands to the |\advance| command followed by an additional
+% |lcllc@checkins| (which has to be protected by |\noexpand|) to
+% start another iteration with the changed |\allocationnumber|.
+% \begin{macrocode}
+ \def\do##1.{%
+ \ifnum##1=\allocationnumber
+ \advance\allocationnumber#1\relax
+ \noexpand\lcllc@checkins{#1}%
+ \fi}%
+% \end{macrocode}
+% The following expanded definition text of |\x| contains code to
+% close the group and the expansion of |\lcllc@insnums|, which is
+% either empty or contains the change of |\allocationnumber| and an
+% iterative call of |\lcllc@checkins|. After the definition is
+% completed, the code is executed which closes the group.
+% \begin{macrocode}
+ \edef\x{\endgroup \lcllc@insnums}%
+ \x}
+% \end{macrocode}
+% \end{macro}
+%
+%
+% \begin{macro}{\alloc@}
+% |\alloc@| is the low level macro for global allocation, which is
+% called with six arguments. The macro itself only uses the first
+% four argument: The two boundaries, the item type to be allocated,
+% and a flag if this item is propably used for an insertion. The
+% remaining two arguments, the \TeX\ primitive and the control
+% sequence to assign the allocated number is used by
+% |\lcllc@def|.
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\def\alloc@#1#2#3#4{%
+% \end{macrocode}
+% In the first step we assign the boundary of the lower region for
+% this item type to |\allocationnumber| and increment it by one.
+% \begin{macrocode}
+ \allocationnumber#1%
+ \advance\allocationnumber\@ne
+% \end{macrocode}
+% If this item type is used by insertion, we have to check for
+% collision with the |\lcllc@checkins| macro. After the execution of
+% this macro, |\allocationnumber| contains the next free number to
+% be used for allocation. This number is assigned globally to the
+% register containing the boundary.
+% \begin{macrocode}
+ \ifnum#4=\@ne \lcllc@checkins\@ne \fi
+ \global#1\allocationnumber
+% \end{macrocode}
+% We now have found an unused register. Nonetheless it is possible
+% that the register number is either not in the range of existing
+% register number or it is used for a locally allocated register.
+% |\ch@ck| is used to test these things.
+% \begin{macrocode}
+ \ch@ck#1#2#3%
+% \end{macrocode}
+% At the end the \meta{control sequence} is defined using the
+% found |\allocationnumber|.
+% \begin{macrocode}
+ \lcllc@def\global{}#3}
+% \end{macrocode}
+% \end{macro}
+%
+%
+% \begin{macro}{\lalloc@}
+% |\lalloc@| is the low level macro for local allocation. The
+% definition of this macro a copy of |\alloc@| with some small
+% changes.
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\def\lalloc@#1#2#3#4{%
+% \end{macrocode}
+% In the first step we assign the boundary of the {\it higher\/}
+% region and {\it decrement\/} it by one. Because the higher
+% boundary is saved in a |\muskip| register, we have to use
+% |\lcllc@cnvmutocnt| to get the boundary value.
+% \begin{macrocode}
+ \allocationnumber\lcllc@cnvmutocnt#2%
+ \advance\allocationnumber\m@ne
+% \end{macrocode}
+% The check for insertion number collisions is called with~$-1$ to
+% decrement the register number to get the next free register
+% number. The |\allocationnumber| is then assigned {\it locally\/}
+% to the |\muskip| register containing the boundary.
+% \begin{macrocode}
+ \ifnum#4=\@ne \lcllc@checkins\m@ne \fi
+ #2\the\allocationnumber mu %
+% \end{macrocode}
+% The check for an already used globally allocated register or a
+% range underflow is needed, too.
+% \begin{macrocode}
+ \ch@ck#1#2#3%
+% \end{macrocode}
+% At the end the \meta{control sequence} is defined using the
+% found |\allocationnumber|.
+% \begin{macrocode}
+ \lcllc@def\relax{(local)}#3}
+% \end{macrocode}
+% \end{macro}
+%
+%
+% \begin{macro}{\ch@ck}
+% The test macro |\ch@ck| for a collision of the globally and
+% locally allocated registers from {\tt plain.tex} has to be
+% changed because the higher boundary is given as a |\muskip| value
+% instead of a normal integer.
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\def\ch@ck#1#2#3{%
+ \ifnum#1<\lcllc@cnvmutocnt#2\relax \else
+ \errmessage{No room for a new #3}%
+ % \allocationnumber\m@ne
+ \fi}
+% \end{macrocode}
+% \end{macro}
+%
+%
+% \begin{macro}{\lcllc@def}
+% |\lcllc@def| is used to assign the found |\allocationnumber|
+% to the \meta{control sequence} using the \TeX\ primitive.
+% Additionally an entry is written to the {\tt log} file.
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\def\lcllc@def#1#2#3#4#5{%
+ #1#4#5=\allocationnumber
+ \wlog{\string#5#2=\string#3\the\allocationnumber}}
+% \end{macrocode}
+% \end{macro}
+%
+%
+% \subsubsection{Low Level Insertion Allocation Macros}
+%
+% Insertions need a set of registers with the same register number.
+% To find a new register number when allocating an insertion, we
+% have to get the maximum of all boundaries used for an insertion.
+%
+% \begin{macro}{\lcllc@getmax}
+% |\lcllc@getmax| is used to assign |\allocationnumber| to the
+% maximum of |\allocationnumber| and its argument.
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\def\lcllc@getmax#1{%
+ \ifnum#1<\allocationnumber \else
+ \allocationnumber#1\advance\allocationnumber\@ne
+ \fi}
+% \end{macrocode}
+% \end{macro}
+%
+% \begin{macro}{\newinsert}
+% |\newinsert| globally allocates a set of registers used for an
+% insertion.
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\outer\def\newinsert{%
+% \end{macrocode}
+% First we have to find the maximum of all globally allocated
+% register number used for an insertion. We start
+% by setting |\allocationnumber| to~$-1$\,\ldots
+% \begin{macrocode}
+ \allocationnumber\m@ne
+% \end{macrocode}
+% \ldots\,and get the maxmimum of the boundaries for |count|,
+% |dimen|, |skip|, and |box| registers.
+% \begin{macrocode}
+ \lcllc@getmax\count@ptr \lcllc@getmax\dimen@ptr
+ \lcllc@getmax\skip@ptr \lcllc@getmax\box@ptr
+% \end{macrocode}
+% Then we have to check if this |\allocationnumber| is already used
+% for another insertion.
+% \changes{v1.0b}{91/09/06}{\cs{lcllc@checkins} inserted}
+% \begin{macrocode}
+ \lcllc@checkins\@ne
+% \end{macrocode}
+% At last we have to check if this |\allocationnumber| is used for
+% one of the locally allocated registers.
+% \begin{macrocode}
+ \ch@ck\allocationnumber\count@limit\count
+ \ch@ck\allocationnumber\dimen@limit\dimen
+ \ch@ck\allocationnumber\skip@limit\skip
+ \ch@ck\allocationnumber\box@limit\box
+% \end{macrocode}
+% The found register number for insertions is then (globally)
+% inserted into the list of insertion numbers.
+% \begin{macrocode}
+ \begingroup
+ \let\do\relax
+ \xdef\lcllc@insnums{\do\the\allocationnumber.\lcllc@insnums}%
+ \endgroup
+% \end{macrocode}
+% At the end the \meta{control sequence} is defined using the
+% found |\allocationnumber|.
+% \begin{macrocode}
+ \lcllc@def\global{}\insert\chardef}
+% \end{macrocode}
+% \end{macro}
+%
+% The register |\insc@unt| which is used to contain the boundary
+% number for insertion registers in the original {\tt plain.tex}
+% macro is not used anymore.
+%
+%
+% Finally, the category code of the `at' character~{\tt @} is reset
+% to its original value.
+% \begin{macrocode}
+\catcode`\@=\lcllc@at
