It does, but in the specific NEWS example it looks better to use the anonymous function than to cons up a new function only for that purpose. In fact, the best thing would be if a `gdb-highlight-mode' existed as a minor mode, so we could simply autoload `add-minor-mode'. However, I don't feel like changing Jamie's code right now.

[BUG] (widget-apply push-button :activate) 27 years, 1 month

Adrian Aichner

Hello Hrvoje, I reported this bug some betas ago. Following example works fine under NT Emacs 20.2.1 under Windows NT. Please load the attached file and then run widget-example via xemacs -q -no-site-file -l ~/el/we.el -f widget-example After you toggle the two push-buttons at he bottom to inactive and back to active they remain to be rendered inactive. Per pointed me your way, since this work works fine in the latest GNU Emacs.

Compile failure in frame-x.c 27 years, 1 month

Kevin Oberman

Compilation of beta 39 failed for frame-x.c on Digital UNIX V4.0C on a 500au personal workstation running X11R6 with Motif, CDE. I tried compiling with both cc and gcc and got similar results. I have made no attempt to find the problem at this time but will do so if time permits. Here is the error printout from gcc 2.7.2.3: > gcc -c -O2 -g -Demacs -I. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I/usr/local/include -D_BSD -I/usr/dt/include frame-x.c frame-x.c: In function `x_cde_transfer_callback': frame-x.c:1110: parse error before `*' frame-x.c:1113: `transferInfo' undeclared (first use this function) frame-x.c:1113: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once frame-x.c:1113: for each function it appears in.)

Re: NEWS update 27 years, 1 month

SL Baur

In case anyone is still not clear on why quoting lambda expressions is a good thing, consider the following snippet of code: (add-hook 'foo-hook (lambda () (let ((i 1)) (setq foo-map (make-sparse-keymap)) (while (< i 4) (define-key foo-map (intern (format "button-%d" i)) nil) (incf i))))) (add-hook 'foo1-hook '(lambda () (let ((i 1)) (setq foo-map (make-sparse-keymap)) (while (< i 4) (define-key foo-map (intern (format "button-%d" i)) nil) (incf i))))) After bytecoompiling and loading do: foo-hook => (#<compiled-function nil "...(43)" [1 i make-sparse-keymap foo-map 4 define-key intern format "button-%d" nil] 7>) foo1-hook => ((lambda nil (let ((i 1)) (setq foo-map (make-sparse-keymap)) (while (< i 4) (define-key foo-map (intern (format "button-%d" i)) nil) (incf i))))) Note that quoting lambda prevents the bytecompiler from bytecompiling it.

I'm not sure either, but I know that it is inconvenient attempting to identify where an error came from in a bytecompiled lambda expression on a hook. >> also, using anonymous functions in hooks is a bad idea since they >> are hard to remove. binding a key to an anonymous (and >> interactive) function is equally a bad idea. One point being you can't just evaluate the hook variable in *scratch*, modify something and reevalute it -- it'll puke on the un(lisp)readable bytecode object. > It does, but in the specific NEWS example it looks better to use the > anonymous function than to cons up a new function only for that > purpose. Yup. Just what is gdb-highlight doing in NEWS anyway? Or do I want to know?

Re: [Doc-bug] zap-to-char - including or up-to? 27 years, 1 month

OK, I see the confusion. Yes, the documentation was wrong, but not the docstring -- it was the info documentation. And yes, it has been fixed now. It is good to see that our volunteers care about fixing the Info documentation. Christian, thanks for providing the fix. > All I was trying to say is that if there is a disagreement between > the code and the documentation, in this case we should fix the > documentation. Yup, I agree, and this has been done. Note that a second function (`M-x zap-up-to-char') has been added, but it is *not* bound to a key by default. -- Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic(a)srce.hr> | Student at FER Zagreb, Croatia --------------------------------+-------------------------------- Personifiers Unite!

However in that light it what he said does NOT make sense. With the new method a remote NFS server is never involved in find-file'ing on local disks[1]. Jan
