No, I don't think there is a good list of developers mapping pieces of code to their respective maintainers. But then again, most of the code is not tied to a particular maintainer anyway. For now, I guess the only way to know these things is to follow xemacs-beta. BTW, Mr. Johnston is not overly active at the moment, but William Perry <wmperry(a)aventail.com> has also worked with the code (in fact, he's the initial author) so he is as likely to help.

I GOT IT! I GOT IT! For my XEmacs 21.2.14 in Linux 2.2/i386, I have to add: --ldflags="-E" for ./configure. Is this necessary flag mentioned anywhere in XEmacs documentation that I missed obviously? Thank you guys!

BTW, I'm almost 100% sure Gnome works this way, but I mailed the question to a more friend who is more up-to-date with Gnome-related events.

comment styles in syntax tables 25 years, 6 months

Gunnar Evermann

The Lispref says: Emacs supports two comment styles simultaneously in any one syntax table. This is for the sake of C++. [...] The two comment-start sequences must begin with the same character; only the second character may differ. but this isn't really enforced. A consequence of this is that you can make xemacs hit an abort() in font-lock.c. An example of this occurs in some recent version of a sql mode, which tries to support '/*' and '--' as comment starters (see recipe below for the crash). The abort() is triggered in find_context(). In Fparse_partial_sexp() we are not so aggressive and just parse '/-' and '-*' as comments -- this also happens in FSF emacs, which uses Fparse_partial_sexp in font-lock. Any suggestions? Gunnar crash recipe: ------------------------------ (setq sql-mode-syntax-table (let ((table (make-syntax-table))) ;; C-style comments /**/ (see elisp manual "Syntax Flags")) (modify-syntax-entry ?/ ". 14" table) (modify-syntax-entry ?* ". 23" table) ;; double-dash starts comment (modify-syntax-entry ?- ". 56" table) ; (modify-syntax-entry ?\n "> b" table) table) ) (defun sql-mode () "Major mode to edit SQL." (interactive) (kill-all-local-variables) (setq major-mode 'sql-mode) (setq mode-name "SQL") (set-syntax-table sql-mode-syntax-table) ) ------------------------------ - evaluate the above - make a new buffer and switch to sql-mode - type '-* ' (without the quotes) - M-: (syntactically-sectionize nil 3 3) BOOM -- Gunnar Evermann Speech, Vision & Robotics Group Engineering Department Cambridge University

Why is it linking in libz _after_ libc. calloc looks like a good candidate to be defined in libc, (why is it having an explicit -lc anyway) Jan

load-module 25 years, 6 months

Stephen Tse

Hi! I have been struggling in using `load-module' in 21.2. May I know who the maintainer of emodule.c is? (How do I know this info in general for other files?) Or is there anyone successed in using `load-module' and kind enough to guide me? Thank you.
