[BUGlet] Scrolling partial lines damages the modeline... 24 years, 10 months

Daniel Pittman

Hi. The new partial-line scrolling stuff works quite well in "21.2 (beta27) \"Hera\" XEmacs Lucid", scrolling the XFace headers in my Gnus by the height of a single line of text. The one problem this has is that when doing so, parts of the modeline above are overdrawn with the `From: [FACE] ....' header. This does not get redrawn by XEmacs in the normal course of things. This is on Linux, XFree 3.3.6. More detail on request... Daniel -- They only hit until you cry And after that you don't ask why You just don't argue anymore -- Suzanne Vega, _Luka_ (Solitude)

If I have code that does: (let ((binary-process-output t)) ...) and that code no longer works in 21.2, this should well be mentioned in NEWS, under "Lisp and internal changes". The entry might look like this: ** The variable `binary-process-output' is now obsolete. This variable was previously used to tell NT XEmacs to forgo the CRLF detection and accept its input as binary. The correct way to do it is now the same as under Unix, by binding `coding-system-for-read'. The NT-specific code that looked like this: (let ((binary-process-output t)) ... code ...) should be changed to this: (let ((coding-system-for-read 'binary)) ... code ...)

I've got a co-worker here who has built GNUS 5.8.3 against today's XEmacs build. When he tries to run, he gets the error: No such coding system: file-name Is coding system gone? Thanks, -lipp

emacs-version incorrect? 24 years, 10 months

John A. Turner

although I built 21.2b27 last week and it was reporting the correct version (21.2-b27 "Hera" configured for `mips-sgi-irix6.5'): http://www.xemacs.org/list-archives/xemacs-build-reports/200001/msg00019.... I did a cvs-update today and re-built, and now emacs-version is: "21.1 (patch 8) \"Bryce Canyon\" XEmacs Lucid" not sure if this is related, but I used to do gmake all-elc to build - it seems like that has changed and now I should just be doing gmake - is that correct? thanks, -- John A.

DLL problem 24 years, 10 months

Rafael Laboissiere

Hi, I tried to load the sample module in modules/sample/sample.c distributed with XEmacs 21.2.23 and did not succeed. After a successful compilation, I issued: (load-module "/build/xemacs-21.2.23/modules/sample/sample.ell") and got the error message: Opening dynamic module: /build/xemacs-21.2.23/modules/sample/sample.ell: undefined symbol: Qt How can I make that work? Please, Cc: replies to me, as I am not subscribed to xemacs-beta. Thanks, -- Rafael Laboissiere <rafael(a)icp.inpg.fr> Institut de la Communication Parlee / INP Grenoble, France http://www.icp.inpg.fr/~rafael

You mean: binary-process-output is now ignored, and everyone should bind coding-system-for-read to `binary' instead. Don't you think this should be documented in NEWS, along with a rationale for the change?

PDUMP questions 24 years, 10 months

Martin Buchholz

I suggest the following as being more intuitive, more maintainable, and also being more correct. You are making the non-portable assumption that the compiler lays out structs like an array. In fact, the compiler can order key and value any way it likes. You did call it the _portable_ dumper. Of course, you might object that the proposed change makes pdump_load slower. If you really really think this micro-optimization is worth it (I don't) then you can change the declaration of hentry to be Lisp_Object hentry[2]; and change all the references to hentry->key, e.g. using #define HENTRY_KEY(hentry) hentry[0] #define HENTRY_VALUE(hentry) hentry[1] Index: elhash.c =================================================================== RCS file: /usr/CVSroot/XEmacs/xemacs/src/elhash.c,v retrieving revision 1.14.2.17 diff -u -r1.14.2.17 elhash.c --- elhash.c 2000/01/08 07:51:23 1.14.2.17 +++ elhash.c 2000/01/26 00:40:53 ＠＠ -374,7 +374,8 ＠＠ } static const struct lrecord_description hentry_description_1[] = { - { XD_LISP_OBJECT, offsetof(hentry, key), 2 }, + { XD_LISP_OBJECT, offsetof(hentry, key), 1 }, + { XD_LISP_OBJECT, offsetof(hentry, value), 1 }, { XD_END } }; I don't understand where the zero'ed ends of strings and hash_tables are being stored and/or restored. The size of the data member in a string or a hash_table refers to the "real" data, but strings have a NUL byte at the end, and hash table entries have a null sentinel entry at the end. How are these being restored? I've been purifying xemacs built with pdump. creating the dump file runs cleanly for me now. However, after running the test suite, I get lots of memory leak warnings I don't understand like this: (elhash.c source file pointers are off by one) MLK: 94240 bytes leaked in 254 blocks This memory was allocated from: malloc [rtlib.o] calloc [rtlib.o] xcalloc [alloc.c:293] xmalloc_and_zero [alloc.c:302] resize_hash_table [elhash.c:894] *** WARNING: Source file is newer, display may be incorrect ht->size = new_size; old_entries = ht->hentries; => ht->hentries = xnew_array_and_zero (hentry, new_size + 1); new_entries = ht->hentries; reorganize_hash_table [elhash.c:915] *** WARNING: Source file is newer, display may be incorrect void reorganize_hash_table (Lisp_Hash_Table *ht) => { resize_hash_table (ht, ht->size); } pdump_load [alloc.c:5132] for (i=0; i<rt->count; i++) { struct Lisp_Hash_Table *ht = XHASH_TABLE (*(Lisp_Object *)p); => reorganize_hash_table (ht); p += sizeof (EMACS_INT); } break; xemacs_21_2_b27_sparc_sun_solaris2_6 [emacs.c:854] main [emacs.c:2251] _start [crt1.o] Block of 6304 bytes at 0x10ba628 Block of 3664 bytes (2 times); last block at 0x10aacd8 Block of 2784 bytes (2 times); last block at 0x10b1648 Block of 1584 bytes (4 times); last block at 0x10b9f38 Block of 1200 bytes at 0x10a6258 Block of 864 bytes (8 times); last block at 0x10b5cc8 Block of 640 bytes (7 times); last block at 0x10b65f8 Block of 480 bytes (4 times); last block at 0x10a7468 Block of 336 bytes (2 times); last block at 0x10bc138 Block of 240 bytes (223 times); last block at 0x10bbf88 MLK: 480 bytes leaked at 0x115d0a0 This memory was allocated from: malloc [rtlib.o] calloc [rtlib.o] xcalloc [alloc.c:293] xmalloc_and_zero [alloc.c:302] resize_hash_table [elhash.c:894] *** WARNING: Source file is newer, display may be incorrect ht->size = new_size; old_entries = ht->hentries; => ht->hentries = xnew_array_and_zero (hentry, new_size + 1); new_entries = ht->hentries; enlarge_hash_table [elhash.c:923] *** WARNING: Source file is newer, display may be incorrect enlarge_hash_table (Lisp_Hash_Table *ht) { size_t new_size = => hash_table_size ((size_t) ((double) ht->size * ht->rehash_size)); resize_hash_table (ht, new_size); } Fputhash [elhash.c:967] *** WARNING: Source file is newer, display may be incorrect e->key = key; e->value = value; => if (++ht->count >= ht->rehash_count) enlarge_hash_table (ht); return value; keymap_store_internal [keymap.c:608] keymap_store [keymap.c:673] Fdefine_key [keymap.c:1949] Feval [eval.c:2975] readevalloop [lread.c:1448] Fload_internal [lread.c:736] Ffuncall [eval.c:3175] execute_optimized_program [bytecode.c:747] funcall_compiled_function [bytecode.c:519] Ffuncall [eval.c:3210] execute_optimized_program [bytecode.c:747] Fbyte_code [bytecode.c:2404] Feval [eval.c:2975] condition_case_1 [eval.c:1629] condition_case_3 [eval.c:1710] execute_rare_opcode [bytecode.c:1272] execute_optimized_program [bytecode.c:657] funcall_compiled_function [bytecode.c:519] Ffuncall [eval.c:3210] mapcar1 [fns.c:3112] Fmapcar [fns.c:3218] Ffuncall [eval.c:3175] execute_optimized_program [bytecode.c:747] funcall_compiled_function [bytecode.c:519] Ffuncall [eval.c:3210] MLK: 336 bytes leaked at 0x1109388 This memory was allocated from: malloc [rtlib.o] calloc [rtlib.o] xcalloc [alloc.c:293] xmalloc_and_zero [alloc.c:302] resize_hash_table [elhash.c:894] enlarge_hash_table [elhash.c:923] Fputhash [elhash.c:967] keymap_store_inverse_internal [keymap.c:528] keymap_store_internal [keymap.c:610] keymap_store [keymap.c:673] Fdefine_key [keymap.c:1949] Ffuncall [eval.c:3175] execute_optimized_program [bytecode.c:747] Fbyte_code [bytecode.c:2404] Feval [eval.c:2975] readevalloop [lread.c:1448] Fload_internal [lread.c:736] Ffuncall [eval.c:3175] execute_optimized_program [bytecode.c:747] funcall_compiled_function [bytecode.c:519] Ffuncall [eval.c:3210] execute_optimized_program [bytecode.c:747] Fbyte_code [bytecode.c:2404] Feval [eval.c:2975] condition_case_1 [eval.c:1629] condition_case_3 [eval.c:1710] execute_rare_opcode [bytecode.c:1272] execute_optimized_program [bytecode.c:657] funcall_compiled_function [bytecode.c:519] Ffuncall [eval.c:3210] mapcar1 [fns.c:3112] Fmapcar [fns.c:3218] Martin
