[PATCH] stat vs fstat revisited 26 years, 7 months

Strokes stuff 26 years, 7 months

David Bakhash

I've just tested out strokes with a new algorithm that seems to be performing on-line Chinese character recognition at an accuracy of 75.9% on the task of recognizing characters from a set of 79 characters (about 60/79 is the ratio). Note that this is with characters that were written completely cursively, and with a mouse, on varying computers, all of varying speeds. This is good news. Bad news is that the recognition happens pretty slow (I'm ashamed to say that I've only been able to get it down to about 2 hours to recognize about 80 charcters, and that's with compiled Allegro CL running through the ACL interpreter). But I'll make it faster later. I think I can dump this to an executable. Anyway, I have hardly trained the system, and so things will get *a lot* better. Just wanted to tell you guys the good news. Anyway, even though I can port this all to Elisp, that would just be a crying joke, unless I figured out a way so that I could skip over lots of characters. but with multi.el (the matrix package), the algorithms can be contained in elisp. But they're all written recursively, and I noticed that the ACL compiler mentioned a lot of optimizations it did while compiling the code. Plus, the fact that it has a built-in multi-dimensional array type (which I think is reasonably easy to implement, and there's just no reason why XEmacs shouldn't have it, especially if we just take a first swing at it and ignore dynamic sizing and fill pointers). dave

SIGSEGV in alloc.c 26 years, 7 months

For info on my installation or system see attached files. I have been getting segfaults in the past few xemacs. Well I sat down and stepped through the source code until I found where it is happening. Here is the gdb output. I am not a programmer so I am not even going to try to figure this out.

[PATCH] Frame crash and extra minibuffers fixes 26 years, 7 months

Kirill M. Katsnelson

This fixes [very probable cause for] crashes seen by Karl and Greg, and solves extra minibuffers problem in ediff, reported by Greg. The first fix fixes an error: I can crash XEmacs with my carefully crafted lisp snippet (tm). I bet a dollar that this is the cause for reported crashes. Kirill 1998-04-24 Kirill M.

stupid question... 26 years, 7 months

Jens Lautenbacher

Sorry if this is a faq or plain stupid, but I simply seem to be unable to get an xemacs-21 beta working... After a long time I want to again work a bit with xemacs, and so I decided to get a new package enabled xemacs-21. I downloadded the cvs xemacs-20 and xemacs-packages. But what now? I first compiled xemacs and installed, then went on tho the packages and also compiled these... but where am I supposed to install them? Do I simply link the whole structure under (prefix)/lib/xemacs/packages? That's the default path for packes if I read the docs right... But do I have to redump XEmacs? How will it know about the packages? Are they simply searched along a path on startup? WHat if there's anything that has to be dumped along with the base? After all, my XEmacs comes up with just a minimal loadpath of blabla/lisp and blabla/term. And of course nothing else is found. DO I need some initialization from lisp? WHAT TO DO and in which order? Any help would be very appreciated. PS: and sorry for any stupid faqs... BUt I'm just getting back on board and feel a bit like being washed away by the big wave just before reaching the cabin... jtl
