w3 dies in make-charset for 'w3-dingbats'
24 years, 7 months

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 (beta31) "Iris" [Lucid] (sparc-sun-solaris2.5.1, Mule) of Mon Mar 20 2000 on zhora
configured using `configure --site-includes=/usr/local/include --site-libraries=/usr/local/sun4/lib --prefix=/tools/xemacs-beta/21.2-pdump --with-sound=none --with-mule --debug=no --error-checking=none --without-tooltalk --without-workshop --pdump'
Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
If I start up XEmacs and invoke W3 ('M-x w3'), XEmacs crashes almost
immediately. Gnus also invokes w3 when it encounters an HTML message,
which produces the exact same crashing behavior. It doesn't seem to
matter whether I do any other activities before invoking w3, with one
exception. If I specify w3 on the xemacs command-line ('-f w3'), it
starts up and prints the error
"No more character sets for this dimension: 1"
and otherwise works okay. If I then invoke w3 again ('M-x w3'), the
same crash behavior occurs.
I first noticed this behavior as of Thursday, 23 March, 2000.
Lisp backtrace follows:

Yes, it does. Right now I am hooking into one of the signals generated by
the widget instead of doing it directly from my new subclass of GtkFixed,
but...
The interesting thing is that if I don't hook the generic 'event' driver,
redisplay works. But then of course I don't get any input from the
user. :) Ought to be an interesting day. :)

thanks, this works much better now.
I still have some problems with diff-mode (which I have never used
before), though.
- get a diff from cvs by pressing '='
- in diff window press 'n'
- press 'f' to go to file
Signaling: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)
expand-file-name(nil)
find-file-noselect(nil)
find-file(nil)
diff-find-file(nil)
call-interactively(diff-find-file)
for reference the diff output is given below.
pressing 'q' in the diff window gives:
Signaling: (error "No buffer named *Diff Output*")
kill-buffer("*Diff Output*")
#<compiled-function nil "...(7)" [kill-buffer "*Diff Output*" diff-cleanup-buffers] 2 ("/tools/emacs/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages/lisp/dired/diff.elc" . 14678) nil>()
call-interactively(diff-quit)
the name of the buffer is '*cvs-diff*'
hope this helps -- sorry, I have no time to fix it myself.

redisplay questions...

Ok, so I've got scrollbars (almost) working, and am going to try and tackle
the redisplay weirdness I've been seeing. Basically that consists of:
1) Expose events - I _get_ all the expose events I am supposed to, but the
text only appears if I obscure the Gtk XEmacs frame with a normal XEmacs
frame. If I obscure then expose it using an xterm, everything (bht the
modeline) shows up as just the blank background color.
2) C-l causes something similar to happen - it redraws the LINE I am on,
but everything else (but the modeline) disappears.
Does this ring any bells with the redisplay experts (ben, andy, jonathan)?
Thanks all!

gutter garbage insanity
24 years, 7 months
Ben Wing

Andy, your gutter implementation needs some serious profiling for garbage
collection.
i was noticing that my xemacs was getting slower and slower as more buffers were
opened --
and then i noticed that if i moved the mouse back and forth, xemacs was garbage
collecting *every fucking second*!
sure enough, with gutters off, the gc goes away, and everything speeds up
immensely.
i have 60 buffers open, and the gutter code is generating 500,000 bytes of
garbage every second!
what the hell?
andy, at the very least use frame-modified-tick to avoid this massive
recalculation.

Ben
In order to save my hands, I am cutting back on my mail. I also write
as succinctly as possible -- please don't be offended. If you send me
mail, you _will_ get a response, but please be patient, especially for
XEmacs-related mail. If you need an immediate response and it is not
apparent in your message, please say so. Thanks for your understanding.

Hello Jari,
thanks for the summary!
The latest official release of XEmacs is 21.1, currently being at 21.1.9.
I couldn't fill below table off the top of my little head, but maybe
people from xemacs-beta can?
This would surely be worth an update to your guide.
Do you have a test-case for key-binding syntax compatibility?
I could run it and report back.
