[pcl-cvs] I've got 2.9.7 working, and packages. 24 years, 9 months

Karl M. Hegbloom

I have not tried to merge anything at all from the XEmacs version of `pcl-cvs'. This is straight from upstream with only the modifications it required to make it work in XEmacs. One thing in particular - `diff-mode.el' was useing `compilation-shell-minor-mode', which we do not have. I wonder if it's worth bringing in? I just blapped off the `-shell' part, and it seems to work fine. bindist packages are at: <URL:ftp://bittersweet.inetarena.com/pub/XEmacs> cvsweb is at: <URL:http://bittersweet.inetarena.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb/local-packages> anoncvs is at: export CVSROOT=:pserver:anoncvs＠bittersweet.inetarena.com:/usr/local/cvsroot cvs login <no password - I encrypted the empty string> cvs checkout local-packages The `site-config' stuff is only really meant for my machine and one at school; maybe it's interesting and useable elsewhere, maybe it's not. The `add-hooks' hack is neat... You'll perhaps want to add `turn-on-font-lock' to `diff-mode', `cvs-log-mode' and `cvs-status-mode'. Very pretty on white, but not with the default grey background. `gnuplot' mode is worth a look at if you use `gnuplot' much. Please don't post this all over the Internet; I'm on the other end of a 256k DSL line... It's NOT a huge public FTP site. Everyone in the xemacs-beta lists is welcome to it though. I'm glad to share. Yous will have to decide what all of this belongs in the cvs.xemacs.org repository. We can rsync or whatever it takes. `pcl-cvs' requires `diff-mode' and `easy-mmode'. I have those in a package called "local-xemacs-devel" for now. It's not a great name for it, but it works. My `Local.rules' and `XEmacs.rules' will be of interest to those who want to run live CVS checkouts of `xemacs-packages' with a `local-packages' also. I configure the package-path to point first at $xe/Local-Packages, then in $xe/Packages. My site-init stuff sets up a load path with the ~/.xemacs/xemacs-packages stuff on it, so a user can shadow things if they like. Time to get some work done now... ;-)

gnuserv 24 years, 9 months

Richard Zatorski

This bug report will be sent to the XEmacs Development Team, not to your local site managers!! Please write in English, because the XEmacs maintainers do not have translators to read other languages for them. In XEmacs 21.2 (beta28) "Hermes" [Lucid] (sparc-sun-solaris2.6, Mule) of Mon Feb 7 2000 on ebola configured using `configure --prefix=/pkg/gnu --dynamic --with-gcc '--cflags=-O3 -mv8 -mtune=ultrasparc' --with-x --with-xpm --x-includes=/usr/openwin/include '--site-includes=/usr/dt/include /pkg/X11/include /pkg/local/include /pkg/local/include/db' --x-libraries=/usr/openwin/lib '--site-libraries=/usr/dt/lib /pkg/X11/lib /pkg/local/lib' --with-sound=native --with-database=berkdb,dbm --with-png --with-jpeg --infopath=/pkg/gnu/info:/pkg/local/info:/pkg/tetex/info --with-tooltalk=yes --with-cde=no --package-path=/pkg/gnu/lib/xemacs/packages --with-mule=yes --debug=no --error-checking=none' Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug and the precise symptoms of the bug: When I start up a second gnuserver on my workstation, I get the message: gnuserv process exited; restart with M-x gnuserv-start Doing what the message says just causes it to fail the same way repeatedly. BTW, In the past I've been able to create multiple servers on my workstation but I've never been able to conect to the port for each server. It always seemed that the last server proccess took over the communication port and the other server processes were just stranded.

ediff crash in latest snapshot 24 years, 9 months

John A. Turner

SGI Irix 6.5.6m gcc 2.95.2 updated and rebuilt this AM w/full error checking/debugging this is completely reproducible for me: 1. load 2 files into buffers 2. M-x ediff-buffers, RET, RET 3. mouse cursor is warped to ediff control frame 4. xemacs go boom *as soon as mouse is moved* (tried a couple of times and waited, but it never crashed until I touched the mouse) no lisp backtrace, but was running under gdb, so got this stack trace: #0 kill () at engine.c:648 #1 0x41531ac in raise () at iconv_converter.c:22087 the insight window shows: 0x40b04f0 <kill>: li $v0,1037 - 0x40b04f4 <kill+4>: syscall >>>>>>> 0x40b04f8 <kill+8>: bnez $a3,0x40b050c <kill+28> - 0x40b04fc <kill+12>: nop - 0x40b0500 <kill+16>: move $v0,$zero - 0x40b0504 <kill+20>: jr $ra - 0x40b0508 <kill+24>: nop - 0x40b050c <kill+28>: move $t8,$ra - 0x40b0510 <kill+32>: bal 0x40b0518 <kill+40> - 0x40b0514 <kill+36>: nop - 0x40b0518 <kill+40>: lui $t4,0x10 - 0x40b051c <kill+44>: daddiu $t4,$t4,10028 - 0x40b0520 <kill+48>: daddu $t4,$t4,$ra - 0x40b0524 <kill+52>: lw $t9,-27740($t4) - 0x40b0528 <kill+56>: move $ra,$t8 - 0x40b052c <kill+60>: jr $t9 - 0x40b0530 <kill+64>: nop -- John A.

This might be a different bug from the one I fixed. This crash comes from signal_after_change() being called with START==0, which triggers the assert in bufpos_to_bytind. Also, the backtrace seems weird -- I wonder if it comes from an optimized build? buffer_insert_raw_string_1() gets pos==-1, but buffer_insert_string_1 gets pos==32100. I don't see code in buffer_insert_raw_string_1() that handles that, but I suppose the optimizer could have done that. Now, the really strange thing is the call to signal_after_change(). In my copy of the code, it looks like this: signal_after_change (buf, pos, pos, pos + cclen); UNGCPRO; return cclen; } Notice that the first and the second argument are the same. In the backtrace, they're not. The only sense I can make out of it is that the crash doesn't come from that call to signal_after_change(). What could happen is that buffer_insert_string_1() calls prepare_to_modify_buffer(), which calls signal_before_change(), which can call cancel_multiple_change(), which calls signal_after_change(). The funcalls could be invisible due to optimizer having inlined them in the code -- this is possible because all of the functions involved are static. I'm not sure whether this theory holds water, because nothing in the backtrace seems to point to any code that calls begin_multiple_change. read_process_output() does play weird games with narrowing, though.
