They have been useful to me letting me know which packages need new binary kits built. That's not going to matter when there's a method for developers to have their packages rebuilt (hopefully) without XEmacs maintainer intervention. But they're still useful in the sense seeing entries appear on freshmeat is useful. As to log messages, I haven't bothered with them in the core because the ChangeLogs and CHANGES-beta carry all change information and I've been the only one doing commits[1]. I'm all for some kind of distribution of commit info and log entries and I believe the more light we shine on them, the better the messages will become. Footnotes: [1] Actually, I don't know how to make CVS report existing log entries.

Usefull in themselves, perhaps not, but nevertheless, this is a convenient way to let people (updating from CVS) informed that there was a checkin (so they probably want the grab the new version), and removes the burden of composing a silly mail by hand each time in the same purpose. -- / / _ _ Didier Verna http://www.inf.enst.fr/~verna/ - / / - / / /_/ / E.N.S.T.

I'll add the patch on the grounds of general saneness, but what's the point? I mean, the macro is purely local in nature, and if you use it, you should know what you're doing.

Anybody using hideif.el? Alternatives? Suggestions? 25 years, 12 months

Adrian Aichner

Hello All, while investigating my build-problems with r21-2b4 I started playing and found it not to support relational expressions. So I implementad that and it seems to work fine. However, the handling of numbers is rather peculiar. I would like to hear some feedback from authors or experienced users of hide-ifdef-mode, whether this works as it should, or what improvements would be welcomed. Where would I send my patches? Maintainer says FSF. Is there no owner for this in XEmacs? For each number occuring in an #if expression an interned symbol is created and looked up in the assoc list hide-ifdef-env to decide whether to hide that block. So, #if 0 /* Testing decimal number */ #endif #if 1 /* Testing decimal number */ #endif will be displayed as follows after M-x hide-ifdefs #if 0 ... #endif #if 1 ... #endif because the (intern "0") and (intern "1") are not found in hide-ifdef-env To display the #if 0 bit, one would M-x hide-ifdef-define RET 0 RET Hmmh, I'll have to think about this some more.

Gcc wants to distinguish between linux-gnuoldld and linux-gnuaout. Thanks for your contributions. One of the next few betas for xemacs-21.2 will feature an upgrade to the latest config.guess and config.sub from FSF (/gd/gnu/lib/). That file already has support for arm machines. If there is a bug in those files, you should communicate directly with rms. Most of the XEmacs sources have forked from the FSF sources, but not config.guess and config.sub. Let's keep it that way. The rest of the arm support looks OK, although I am unhappy on the quantity of legacy cruft in the s&m headers. Martin

The Sun compiler points out that this code looks suspicious: if (decoded_length < 0) { return Qnil; XMALLOC_UNBIND (decoded, length * MAX_EMCHAR_LEN); } Also, here is a rewritten XMALLOC_OR_ALLOCA macro that avoids multiple evaluation of the `len' argument. #define XMALLOC_OR_ALLOCA(ptr, len, type) do { \ size_t XOA_len = (len); \ if (XOA_len > MAX_ALLOCA) \ { \ (ptr) = (type *)xmalloc (XOA_len * sizeof (type)); \ speccount = specpdl_depth (); \ record_unwind_protect (free_malloced_ptr, \ make_opaque_ptr ((void *)ptr)); \ } \ else \ (ptr) = alloca_array (type, XOA_len); \ } while (0) Martin
