Glyph test crashes XEmacs 25 years, 2 months

Yoshiki Hayashi

Evaluating following test in glyph-test.el crashes XEmacs. (set-extent-begin-glyph (make-extent (point) (point)) (make-glyph [button :face modeline-mousable :descriptor "ok" :callback foo :image [xpm :file "../etc/xemacs-icon.xpm"]])) Lisp backtrace and C stacktrace follows: ./src/xemacs -vanilla Fatal error (11). Your files have been auto-saved. Use `M-x recover-session' to recover them. If you have access to the PROBLEMS file that came with your version of XEmacs, please check to see if your crash is described there, as there may be a workaround available. Otherwise, please report this bug by running the send-pr script included with XEmacs, or selecting `Send Bug Report' from the help menu. As a last resort send ordinary email to `crashes(a)xemacs.org'. *MAKE SURE* to include the information in the command M-x describe-installation. If at all possible, *please* try to obtain a C stack backtrace; it will help us immensely in determining what went wrong. To do this, locate the core file that was produced as a result of this crash (it's usually called `core' and is located in the directory in which you started the editor, or maybe in your home directory), and type gdb /src/xemacs/src/xemacs core then type `where' when the debugger prompt comes up. (If you don't have GDB on your system, you might have DBX, or XDB, or SDB. A similar procedure should work for all of these. Ask your system administrator if you need more help.) Lisp backtrace follows: # (unwind-protect ...) # (catch #<INTERNAL OBJECT (XEmacs bug?)

Re: /etc/ld.so.conf handling doesn't work for me 25 years, 2 months

Neal D. Becker

The runtime linker has a way to tell if the libs are for libc5 or libc6. ld doesn't have that info. I think this whole concept is doomed to failure. I think you have to make sure you're not mixing libc5 and libc6 libraries in the ld command.

Jan requested an additional #ifdef DLOPEN in there, I can send that as a patch now. I tried to come up with a good configure-time test but don't know X much at all, yet. Not to write a new application for configure to test, anyway.[1] I think that the runtime test is sufficient though.

I meant that with a fully specified font, there would be no 'arbitrary' choices involved. Although some things from the default face wouldn't necessarily make sense if you've changed charsets, etc. Hrm. > My point is that our face model cannot possibly account for all font > properties, e.g. those in use by future intergalactic alien allies, and > therefore although the face system would resolve both under- and > over-determined specs, the user might not like the outcome.

This is why I put in the font-maximum-slippage, and planned on adding more before I decided it was wasted effort to try and do this in lisp. There should definitely be appropriate variables to control the selection, including the '#%!＠ you always use my default face' that Emacs/W3 allows you to do now. > If so, the user could specify the font explicitly, but that's not very > friendly or general.

Isn't a lot of this taken care of by the charset hints right now? I'm tired and getting a bit lost, so forgive me if I misremember. :) -Bill P.

Arguments to macros 25 years, 2 months

Hrvoje Niksic

Why is macro arglist not displayed with `C-h f'? Case in point: I'm interested in `check-argument-type' macro. I press `C-h f check-argument-type RET', and I get: `check-argument-type' is a compiled Lisp macro -- loaded from "/home/hniksic/work/emacs/build/lisp/subr.elc" Documentation: Check that ARGUMENT satisfies PREDICATE. ... Arglist is not printed anywhere, so this might imply that ARGUMENT comes before PREDICATE, while in fact it doesn't. So I wonder: why are arglists not printed for macros? Can we fix that?
