More on AIX C preprocessor lossage 24 years, 10 months

Valdis Kl=?iso8859-4?Q?=BA?=tnieks

I've narrowed it down to this line in lwlib/config.h tickling the bug: #define ATHENA_H_PATH X11/Xaw The code preprocesses fine if that #define doesn't have a / in it (but of course then loses because it can't fine the header files. I'm about to report this to IBM. The truly bizzare part is this exposed ANOTHER preproccesor bug - the code would expand into *asking* for "#include <X11/Xaw/whatever.h>", but what would get *included* was "#include <X11>". It quit after the /. And yes, the preprocessor would happily suck in the directory. Gaak. I've already reported that one. /Valdis

[PATCH] Last assault on binary-process-output 24 years, 10 months

Kirill 'Big K' Katsnelson

This might break packages which expect NTEmacs variable binary-process-output to do things. Packages in XEmacs sumo tarball are clear, please test 3rd party packages which you are using. The correct fix is: Whenever a construct (let ((binary-process-output t)) ... ) is used, add one more binding: (let ((binary-process-output t) (coding-system-for-read 'binary)) ... ) This way, old compatibility is not broken and XEmacs compatibility is restored. I'll delete the code and definitions unless it is going to break an overwhelming number of packages (I do not believe but I made this change in a revertable way). NT testers please give your feedback soon if possible. Big K 2000-01-26 Kirill 'Big K' Katsnelson <kkm(a)dtmx.com> * callproc.c (Fcall_process_internal): Ignore Vbinary-process_output.

Xemacs version 21.1.8 Bug in CDE 24 years, 10 months

Magnant, James A

Under the older version of Xemacs (20.3), I am able to set my CDE desktop session preferences so that Xemacs starts in a particular session "screen" in lieu of the "screen" selected at the time it pops up. In addition, the CDE home session preferences allow specifying the Xemacs window geometry. These settings are stored in the $HOME/user_name/.dt/sessions/home/dt.session file. Using Version 21.1.8, Xemacs does not honor the style manager's "home session" settings. Xemacs21 pops up in whatever "screen" the user has selected at the time the window activates. Please advise work-around or open bug for future fix. I have included my dt.session file for your review.

No, the problem is evidently what was just observed by Michael, about the tab instantiator error; I just hadn't gotten as far as peeking into the returned buffer. In any event, "gnuclient -nw" should not (and, now looking at the code more carefully, would not) exit immediately, because in the -nw case, gnuclient does not ship across the 'quick qualifier on the gnuserv-edit-files directive. The really perverse situation is that, in the -nw case of immediate departure, XEmacs tries to retain control of the tty anyhow. I was in fact exploiting this with "gnuclient ; sleep 1000000" so that XEmacs didn't conflict with my shell. I suspect that a tweak to XEmacs is in order, to force giving up control of the client tty in the case of any gnuserv-edit-files error return.

I was under the impression that what Karl describes is that `gnuclient FILE' exits immediately, which is a bug.

Re: the culprit is zmacs-regions 24 years, 10 months

Hrvoje Niksic

"T. V. Raman" <ramantv(a)earthlink.net> writes: > thanks for everyone's help. AT present the only way I am able to > get things working is to use Colin's "evil" solution of setting > zmacs-regions to nil. That is evil (no quotes I'm afraid) because it overrides the user's settings. If I knew what exactly the problem was, I might be able to help you. This way I can just guess. Let's recapitulate: * In XEmacs, the term "active region" pertains to zmacs regions. They are on by default. If you set zmacs-regions to nil, you kill all zmacs region behaviour -- (mark) always returns the last location of mark, etc. * The functions (point) and (mark) return the endpoints of a zmacs region. If the region is currently not active, (mark) returns nil. If you really really want to know where the mark was last located, use (mark t). * A better (less confusing) interface for using regions are functions `region-active-p', `region-beginning', and `region-end'. * All the commands deactivate the region except for those that explicitly choose not to. This is by design. > Any other suggestions? Setting zmacs-region-stays at the end of > every emacspeak function would be a huge amount of work -- Not at the end of every emacspeak function, but only at the end of those commands that really need to preserve the region. If every emacspeak function is a movement command then yes, every one of them needs to preserve the region. But somehow I doubt that this is the case. Could you be a bit more specific with the problem description?

Crash in update_frame_gutters 24 years, 10 months

Kirill 'Big K' Katsnelson

I have been working for some time before it crashed on me. I had a variable help window open, (C-h v ...), and pressed q to close it, and XEmacs crashed. I think, but am not sure, that before bringing up the help I had only one window in the frame. Relevant top of stack trace was: get_builtin_face_cache_index(window * 0x01e5a600, long 28332160) line 1335 + 30 bytes output_gutter(frame * 0x01b90a00, int 0) line 227 + 16 bytes update_frame_gutters(frame * 0x01b90a00) line 356 + 13 bytes redisplay_frame(frame * 0x01b90a00, int 0) line 6358 + 9 bytes redisplay_device(device * 0x01d98f00, int 1) line 6471 + 11 bytes redisplay_without_hooks() line 6560 + 11 bytes redisplay() line 6623 Fnext_event(long 33008984, long 28360708) line 2238 Fcommand_loop_1() line 566 + 16 bytes Current line was: for (elt = 0; elt < Dynarr_length (w->face_cachels); elt++) Select members of the w structure were: w->face_cachels: 0 w->pixel_top: 380 w->pixel_left: 0 w->pixel_height: 344 w->pixel_width: 578 w->mini_p: (Qnil) w->next: (Qnil) w->prev: (Qnil) w->parent: (Qnil) w->dead: 1 It looks like FRAME_LAST_NONMINIBUF_WINDOW in output_gutter picked the dead window. I could not track this any further right now. Big K
