insdel.c crash with 21.2.44 23 years, 9 months

Vladimir Vukicevic

I've been getting intermittent crashes in insdel.c, with a failed assertion: Fatal error: assertion failed, file insdel.c, line 1529, bytpos >= BI_BUF_BEGV (buf) && bytpos <= BI_BUF_ZV (buf) I can recreate this on demand by simply opening the attached file. Note that if the file size is jittered, the crash goes away. Could someone try this and let me know if it's repeatable? If not, there is the chance that I poked at a bad thing somewhere while fixing the latest round of antialiasing patches... I've also attached the Installation file for my install as well. - Vlad

VC problem. 23 years, 9 months

Steve Youngs

This has been reported before, could somebody please look into this. ,---- | From: "Albert L. Ting" <alt(a)artisan.com> | | Hi Steve, I tried the latest vc and it still has the vc problem I posted | earlier, even though it works fine in gnu emacs (version 20.4).

A call for testers - dired + NT 23 years, 9 months

Steve Youngs

To all NT users. For a while now, Mike Sperber (dired & efs maintainer, lisp coder extraordinaire) has had enhancements to dired that make it run more smoothly under NT. These enhancements need testing, more testing, closely followed by even more testing. Because dired is so closely interwoven with EFS, Michael needs to hear of your success/failure to talk to NTP ftp servers. If you're willing/able to help out with this, I implore you to contact Michael at <sperber(a)informatik.uni-tuebingen.de> and ask him to send you a snapshot with the relevant NT patches applied. And then test, test, test. The most important part, *FEEDBACK*. Michael needs it all, the good, the bad, and the ugly. Perhaps even include the output from M-x dired-report-bug and M-x efs-report-bug. In short, give him as much detail as is humanly possible. Thanks very much for your help, people. -- |---<Steve Youngs>---------------<GnuPG KeyID: 9E7E2820>---| | XEmacs - It's not just an editor. | | It's a way of life. | |------------------------------------<youngs(a)xemacs.org>---|

Re: Minor speedup for mark_object 23 years, 9 months

Robert> Hmm, I'm intrigued. What needs to change? You have to portably detect if an address is malloced or not. The most portable way is to link xemacs like firstfile.o ... lastfile.o and check addresses of objects relative to symbols in firstfile.o and lastfile.o. Then you have to fix pdump to remember when it's dumping objects, whether they were in malloced space. When it restores the contents of non-malloced memory, it restores them to the original location. This makes xemacs a little smaller at run time. We can also optimize Lisp_Subrs to be const (and therefore shared) objects by moving the docstring out of the Lisp_Subr into a dynamic hash table. Then you make sure the contents of Qnil is a static object, i.e. not malloced. Like Qunbound has static contents guts_of_unbound_marker or something. Do this consistently for all symbols, and maybe some other lisp objects, like Qunbound. Then, if not using union type, Qnil is just a constant pointer to static memory. So Qnil can be defined to be #define Qnil &guts_of_Qnil; /* since we have no tag bits */ Figure out how to make this work even when using union type (we can accept a slowdown when using union type).

ftp aux directory updated with latest links and tarballs 23 years, 9 months

Martin Buchholz

I've updated tarballs of openldap, Berkeley db, nas, libpng, bzip2, im, mew, and added a tarball for ncurses to ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/aux (the latest level of software). Here is the updated contents of the README at ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/aux: This directory contains programs that are not included in the XEmacs distribution, but which are either used by various packages that are in the distribution or are enhancements which can be compiled into XEmacs. Where available, ftp sites, web home pages, and configure flags (although you should never have to specify library configure flags since they are autodetected) are indicated below. Most of the files listed below contain the sources to these programs, and you will have to build them yourself. However, some binaries are available for the Win32 (i.e. native Windows 9x/NT), Cygwin and MinGW platforms. This file last updated 2001-02-14. Windows Binaries: ----------------- The win32/ directory contains binaries for patch, ssh, cvs, and common graphics libraries needed for building XEmacs. Note that most of these are self-extracting executables. Cygwin Binaries: ---------------- The cygwin/ directory contains critical tools (most of the standard Unix utilities missing from the standard Cygwin distribution), as well as binaries of the X11 libraries. For more information, see http://www.xemacs.freeserve.co.uk/ MinGW Binaries: --------------- The mingw/ directory contains binaries for the graphics libraries (Xpm, png+zlib, jpeg, tiff, compface -- remember that gif support is built in) needed for building XEmacs using the MinGW compiler. (MinGW is a version of GCC that uses native Microsoft DLL's instead of requiring a POSIX-emulation DLL, as Cygwin does.) For more information on MinGW, see http://www.mingw.org/ Databases: ---------- These DBM implementations are supported by XEmacs: native dbm (provided by OS), GDBM, and Berkeley DB version 1, 2 and 3. GDBM is the GNU DBM library, compatible with the Unix dbm library. gdbm-1.8.0.tar.gz ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/gdbm/ http://www.gnu.org/software/gdbm/gdbm.html configure flag: --with-database=gnudbm Berkeley DB is provided by Sleepycat Software. db-2.7.7.tar.gz db-3.2.9.tar.gz ftp://ftp.sleepycat.com/pub http://www.sleepycat.com/ configure flag: --with-database=berkdb OpenLDAP is an implementation of the LDAP X.500 Directory protocol. openldap-2.0.7.tgz ftp://ftp.openldap.org/pub/OpenLDAP/openldap-release http://www.openldap.org/ configure flag: --with-ldap Image Format Libraries: ----------------------- `compface' is an old library for viewing X-Faces in messages.
