Duplicate buffers in XEmacs 21.0 "Corsican" 27 years

Kevin Oberman

I recently installed XEmacs 21.0 Pre-8 "Corsican" on my workstation. Since I did the initial build and install in my own directory space and then installed, I had to tar all of the packages from my ~/.xemacs/packages directory and untar into /usr/local/xemacs/packages. This all worked, but resulted in duplicate autoloads since the same packages were present twice in my package path. This is probably awkward, but not a real problem. But when I start up XEmacs I get two, seemingly identical buffers named "*Warnings*" and *Warnings-Show*". Is there some reason for this duplication? R.

This is is about what 'a.out' style shared libraries where all about? May I propose a third option We introduce a new "internal" pointer type, that is basically just relative to the base adress of the packages. If the OS supports COW that would allow loading to be a simple mmap followed by a link of the external references. Furthermore it would increase the amount of shared data between XEmacsen. Of course this would also introduce a runtime penalty but I would like to see how big this is. Moreover the XEmacs could do some kind of just-in-time rewriting of the adress to the real pointer. Jan P.S. I have no experience with lisp implementation, but suppose we had lexical scoping wouldn't most of the references be stack relative anyway?

[crash] Corsican, just updated with CVS 27 years

Karl M. Hegbloom

Same as before. Works fine on the 16bpp display, but on the 24bpp laptop display, I see stripes in png's, and it crashes. Here's the data... Pasted into a vi from an xterm... it stairstepped. These are the same crash.

I was under the impression that 1.9 was the stable version and the 1.9.XX's were less tested betas, but I can't find any warnings now offhand. Are the latest releases stable?

What about allowing special functions that do not have dynamically scoped parameters? Ignoring the language purity aspects for a second, would that offer much performance improvement? --pete

request: `make-frame-on-display' 27 years

David Bakhash

Just a request... for `make-frame-on-display', I think that there should be a default value of the `display' arg as (getenv "DISPLAY"). That would simplifiy things. That way, if you're on a TTY frame because you started XEmacs with % xemacs -nw you can still easily make an x-frame. basically, just add the default value. thanks, dave (p.s. I'm not on this list, so Cc: to me)

I imagine that outside of the language implementation, they would be a good thing to have, but not frequently used at all. Proper tail recursion, on the other hand, would be a huge win. I could care less about the cond syntax issue. One thing that I happen to really like about Scheme that could possibly be an area of contention is that functions and variables share the same space. That is, one cannot have a multiple things by the same name visible at once. Feature. -- Justin Sheehy In a cloud bones of steel.
