build of xemacs-packages fails 26 years, 6 months

[experimental PATCH] GC-Leak in tooltalk 26 years, 6 months

Gunnar Evermann

Hi everyone, I've finally found the bug which makes XEmacs crash if compiled with SUN-CC, -gung-ho and workshop support (as reported by Georg and myself, e.g. <13638.20762.848751.664065＠verve>, <199805041403.QAA00409(a)nats7.informatik.uni-hamburg.de>). I spend two days single-stepping through the GC and FByte_code :-) The two Lisp_Objects mentioned below get collected (before dumping I guess). In the dumped binary Tooltalk_Pattern_plist_str points to some string (in the locate-file-hashtable of some string of of the load-path vars), if a GC occurs before TT-Initialization it points to nowhere and everything goes to hell... I posted this to XEmacs-beta as well because I'm a complete novice to XEmacs-C-Internals and I guess the GC-stuff is a rather dangerous place to start hacking :-) So maybe the GC and/or TT-experts can comment -- is this the right way and why doesn't this show up when not using gung-ho? Anyway this fixes the problem for me (XEmacs starts up OK and after installing the pc and vc-packages TT-communication to workshop seems to work.

What libraries are you linking? An old version of Lesstif. Consider this problem solved.

Are you linking against Lesstif? (Hmm, > seems like rather an odd question on Windows). Yup, that's the problem. #define LesstifVERSION_STRING "GNU Lesstif 0.81 alpha" And, yes, this is under Windows (NT, anyway).

Re: custom-file 26 years, 6 months

I suggest not using an .xemacs-custom file but use .xemacs/options.el even if we do not use .xemacs/init.el, because 1. We already have been doing it (unintentionnaly) and it seems to work. 2. Having an .xemacs-custom file is making the (eventual) migration to .xemacs/ based system even more difficult as it is yet another file to care for. 3. We have .xemacs anyway for the package system.

b41 tarball missing add-little-package.sh 26 years, 6 months

Samuel Mikes

I downloaded and built b41 from the tarball in a fresh directory, and without my old lisp directories, to get a feel for how the package system works from scratch. While installing packages, I got errors about a missing 'add-little-package.sh', which I supplied from my xemacs-20.4 dist. Is this file intentionally not present, or is it an oversight? -- Sam Mikes smikes(a)alumni.hmc.edu

package question 26 years, 6 months

customize question 26 years, 6 months

Andy Piper

I would like to trap the customize "save" operation so that for my packages stuff "save" actually goes and gets the package.
