I read the Emacs vs XEmacs and I have an question that I am curious of. Emacs is based on FSF emacs19 which is gpl, doesnt that make XEmacs GPL? I have this question since Stallman is ranting about that emacs developer cant use code that is in XEmacs for emacs. Hope someone has time to answer my question.

ispell-comments-and-strings under XEmacs 25 years, 1 month

Hrvoje Niksic

[ If <ispell-el-bugs> is not the appropriate address for reporting XEmacs-specific ispell bugs, please let me know. ] Has anyone noticed that ispell-comments-and-strings doesn't work under XEmacs? At least it doesn't work for me, with XEmacs 21.2-b32, ispell v3.3. When I type the command in a C mode or a Lisp mode buffer, I get the following error (backtrace uncompiled intentionally): Signaling: (error "Unterminated string or comment") signal(error ("Unterminated string or comment")) cerror("Unterminated string or comment") apply(cerror "Unterminated string or comment") error("Unterminated string or comment") (if (or (nth 3 state) (nth 4 state)) (error "Unterminated string or comment")) ) (let ((start ...)) (setq state (parse-partial-sexp start ... nil nil state ...)) (if (or ... ...) (error "Unterminated string or comment")) (save-excursion (setq done ...))) ) (if (or (nth 3 state) (nth 4 state)) (let (...) (setq state ...) (if ... ...) (save-excursion ...))) ) (while (not done) (setq done t) (setq state (parse-partial-sexp ... ... nil nil state ...)) (if (or ... ...) (let ... ... ... ...))) ) (let (state done) (while (not done) (setq done t) (setq state ...) (if ... ...))) ) (lambda nil "Check comments and strings in the current buffer for spelling errors." (interactive) (goto-char (point-min)) (let (state done) (while ... ... ... ...)))() call-interactively(ispell-comments-and-strings) command-execute(ispell-comments-and-strings t) execute-extended-command(nil) call-interactively(execute-extended-command) I don't know enough about parse-partial-sexp to be able to tell whether the problem is with XEmacs or with ispell; I do have a version of that function that works fine using the `syntactically-sectionize' mechanism of XEmacs: (defun ispell-comments-and-strings () (interactive) (syntactically-sectionize (lambda (start end context depth) (when (or (eq context 'string) (eq context 'comment) (eq context 'block-comment)) (ispell-region start end))) (point-min) (point-max)))

ilisp - Never mind the never mind... 25 years, 1 month

Karl M. Hegbloom

Ok, ok, ok... I changed my mind again. It's just that it's going to be more work than I thought. I don't know just how much yet, of course. I'll try to budget some time for this... (promises promises...) <URL:http://www.intra/~cvsweb/cvsweb.cgi/ilisp/?cvsroot=X?Emacs_Lisp_Hacks> It's meant to be checked out where the cvs.xemacs.org version sits inside a full checkout of the `xemacs-packages'. cd ${xemacs-packages}/os <edit CVS/Entries and remove the ilisp that's there from cvs.xemacs.org> rm -rf ilisp (or copy it aside -- whatever) export CVSROOT=:pserver:anoncvs＠bittersweet.inetarena.com:/var/cvs/emacsen cvs login <blank password - I encrypted the empty string> cvs -z3 checkout ilisp Mail me patches if you like, and I'll commit them. I'm vendor tracking them, so any changes I (or maybe we) make can maybe go back upstream to the `ilisp' group at cons.org. -- Those who do not study Lisp are doomed to reimplement it - Poorly.

ilisp 5.10.1 25 years, 1 month

Karl M. Hegbloom

I've been working on getting `ilisp' 5.10.1 working, and have it mostly working, plugged into my checkout of the `xemacs-packages' from CVS. I'm back to studying Lisp and Scheme again, and will be using Ilisp some with cmulisp and with guile... (I might try and create an ilisp dialect definition for Maxima as well, though at this point don't know if there's any advantage in using ilisp for that over the plain comint based mode I cobbled together for it last week.) The trouble is that there's some stuff in "ilisp/extra/" that, according to the README there, is `contrib' -- it's not totally GPL compatible since it relies on the online HyperSpec, which is `non-free' (and not redistributable, afaik) What should I do with that? I can make `ilisp' not load it by default, but if, for instance, a Debian package is made of `ilisp', that stuff is maybe supposed to go in a separate package. (blah! What a PITA.) I don't think there's any restriction on redistribution or modification of `hyperspec.el', but it depends on the non-free Common Lisp Hyperspec, I guess. Maybe I should just clam up and put it in the package anyway. Would anyone on earth _really_ freak about that? There is also an issue with the ilisp licence. It's not completely GPL, _yet_... Will someone on the XEmacs Development Team please have a look at it? I'll mail it to you if you like -- I won't include it here. I do not currently have writes to that section of the repository. I think that a patch will be quite large. I can upload a tarball for someone else to commit, or will commit myself if given writes. I will of course make a copy available for approval prior to making that checkin, and think that I'd like for someone who uses `ilisp' to do that. I don't want to check something in that others think of as broken and get people angry with me. I have not even begun to read the `ilisp' codes or even the manual yet. It will take me some time, I imagine. There are a few things needing done with it. They changed the pop up message thing to use a separate frame rather than a popup window. When you load "ilisp", it opens two new frames, rudely. That frame needs a configurable frame properties plist, and there should be an option to make it use a window like it used to. Likely other things should be done. -- Those who do not study Lisp are doomed to reimplement it - Poorly.

Themes and specifier fallbacks... 25 years, 1 month

William M. Perry

So, I just implemented this really gross hack/feature. :) Right now, no fallbacks are specified for any of the faces in faces.c like they are for the other types of windowing systems. I delay that until the 'style_set' method of the GtkXEmacs widget is called for the first time. Then I use set_specifier_fallback to add style-specific fallbacks. Soooooo... just for giggles I removed the 'only do it once' guard. So that way if you are using the Gnome theme selector and change your theme, the fallbacks will change. This means that if you have specified changes to the faces, they will still be in effect, but if you just use the 'defaults', then the frame will dynamically update to reflect the new color scheme of the theme. So the question is - does this seem like sane behaviour to people? Well, ok, maybe it doesn't have to be sane. How about 'expected from a theme-able application'? -Bill P.
