[Bug: 21.4.12] core dump when Gnus tries to access non-existent nntp server.

Dear Bug Team!
Yo Steve T, how do you spell "regression test"? "G n u s" :-)
I came across this because I'm lazy. :-P I haven't yet reconfigured
and reinstalled my INN server. So, consequently, every time I start
Gnus (which I have configured to access the local nntp server) I have
to hit 'y' in response to a "Can't access nntp server on localhost,
start anyway" error.
In 21.5, no problem, just hit 'y' and I'm reading mail.
In 21.4.11, ditto.
In 21.4.12, XEmacs dumps core before I see the question about the
non-existent server.
Here's the result of running under gdb:

Your files have been auto-saved.
Use `M-x recover-session' to recover them.
Your version of XEmacs was distributed with a PROBLEMS file that may describe
your crash, and with luck a workaround. Please check it first, but do report
the crash anyway. Please report this bug by invoking M-x report-emacs-bug,
or by selecting `Send Bug Report' from the Help menu. If necessary, send
ordinary email to `crashes(a)xemacs.org'. *MAKE SURE* to include the XEmacs
configuration from M-x describe-installation, or equivalently the file
Installation in the top of the build tree.
*Please* try *hard* to obtain a C stack backtrace; without it, we are unlikely
to be able to analyze the problem. Locate the core file produced as a result
of this crash (often called `core' or `core.<process-id>', and located in
the directory in which you started XEmacs or your home directory), and type
gdb /usr/local/src/xemacs/src/xemacs core
then type `where' at the debugger prompt. No GDB on your system? You may
have DBX, or XDB, or SDB. (Ask your system administrator if you need help.)
If no core file was produced, enable them (often with `ulimit -c unlimited'
in case of future recurrance of the crash.

stable package release
21 years, 10 months
Rendhalver [Peter Brown]
Rendhalver [Peter Brown]
hi all
just checking wether people think packages in pre-release are ready to
be moved to stable
is any one having any problems with any of them?
and does anyone have any fixes that need applying to the current set
of packages in pre-release?
if anyone doesnt complain in a day or so i will be releasing them
also on a related note i need a break. so after releasing these
packages i intend to take a break from XEmacs for about 2 week or so,
there are a bunch of things i need to concentrate on for a while.
it isnt a permanent break and i will be taking a look at the mailing
lists every now and again.
if there is anything urgent that needs fixing cc me and i will take a
look at it

Questions---Specific: IDE-like functionality; General: how-to resources
21 years, 10 months
Tom Sobczynski
Tom Sobczynski
Background: In my opinion, one of the greatest things about emacs is the everything-plus-kitchen-sink functionality one can access through the editor and associated packages in a unified fashion. After years of using emacsen, I'm relatively well versed in the core functionality pertaining to editing chunks of text. When I encounter a repetitive or unwieldy task, I try to learn how to streamline things by reading up on some unfamiliar feature or mode or package to make my life easier. Sometimes, I know what concept I'm looking for but not where to find the implementation. The concept index is a good start, but often doesn't have the breadth of coverage I need.
General question: Is there a resource, perhaps on the web, where I can search by what I want to do, and find out how others are doing it?
Specific question: I'm editing some code in C. I really like the ClearCase integration, but I'm looking for some additional IDE-like functionality. Specifically, I'd like for XEmacs to take me to the soure for a function call currently under the point, and I'd like something like tab completion for variables and functions accessible from my current scope. I know this must be a solved problem, but I haven't found this functionality so far by browsing the documentation. This inability to find something I know must be there is the driving force for my general question above.
Thanks in advance,
Tom

sgml-mode related crash
21 years, 10 months
Ted Dustman
Ted Dustman
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.
Please describe as succinctly as possible:
- What happened.
- What you thought should have happened.
- Precisely what you were doing at the time.
Please also include any C or lisp back-traces that you may have.
================================================================
Dear Bug Team!
Xemacs crashes when the following file is opened. I'm sorry I've included
so much of this file but I couldn't create a shorter version that would
cause the crash. I believe the crash is related to this piece of text
occuring multiplie times:
<!-- Keep this comment at the end of the file
Local variables:
mode: xml
sgml-default-dtd-file:"<top-of-cvs-tree>/doc/Utilities/XML/docbook.ced"
sgml-omittag:nil
sgml-shorttag:nil
End:
-->
This text occurs once at the end of the file for the purpose of configuring
sgml-mode and other times in the text as examples of its usage.
Start of file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

<title>Building Docs</title>
<para>&sr; documents are written in number of <firstterm><link

and HTML (plus their <firstterm>eruby</firstterm>
equivalents—see <xref endterm="sec.docmls.title"
linkend="sec.docmls"/> for more information). XML and <x; document
sources must be <quote>built</quote> or transformed into other forms
(e.g. HTML) for presentation. This section shows how to invoke the
build system.</para>
<para>This section assumes that all necessary
<link linkend="sec.tools">tools</link> have been installed.</para>
<para>Three environment variables must be set before building
the documentation:
<simplelist>
<member><envar>CLASSPATH</envar> must contain the path of the
file <filename>saxon.jar</filename> within the Saxon distribution.
</member>
<member><envar>STYLESHEET_PATH</envar> must point to the location of the
<filename>html</filename> directory within the &dbk; stylesheet
distribution.
</member>
<member>
<envar>WITH_CV</envar> should be set to the string <quote>true</quote>
if you want Doxygen to build the C++ based documentation.
</member>
</simplelist>
For instance (assuming a Bourne type shell):
<programlisting>
export CLASSPATH=/usr/local/lib/Saxon/saxon.jar
export STYLESHEET_PATH=/usr/local/xsl/docbook/html/
export WITH_CV=true
</programlisting>
</para>
<para>Now to make (all) docs <command>cd</command> to the toplevel
<filename>doc</filename> directory and type <command>make</command>.
</para>
<para>To also make a doc tarball type this:
<programlisting>
cd doc # cd to topleve doc directory
make tarball
</programlisting>
</para>
<para>You may want to build one particular doc or a particular set of docs.
You can do
so by <command>cd</command>'ing to the directory of interest and typing
<command>make</command>. For example:
<programlisting>
cd doc/Developer # Make all developer docs.
make
</programlisting> or
<programlisting>
cd doc/Developer/Guide # Make just the developer's guide.
make
</programlisting>
</para>
<para>To remove <quote>incidental</quote> files (but
no products) from a directory (and its sub-directories) type:
<programlisting>make clean</programlisting>

<para>To also remove products (generated files) type:
<programlisting>make veryclean</programlisting>
</para>

<section id="sec.srcsprds">
<title>Sources, Makefiles, and Products</title>
<para>The term <firstterm>sources</firstterm> refers to
files that are created and edited manually. The term
<firstterm>products</firstterm> refers to files that are generated from sources by a
tool of some sort. Sources are always part of the CVS repository and
products never are.</para>
<para>
Makefiles are responsible for generating products from sources.
<xref linkend="tbl.srcprd"/> shows sources, corresponding Makefiles, and
the products they generate. Products that are not explicit targets of
<filename>Makefile</filename> are not shown.</para>
<para>The doc tree uses a conventional recursive makefile
approach to building documentation. Some Makefiles generate products (see
<xref linkend="tbl.srcprd"/>) while others
(<filename>doc/Developer/Makefile</filename>,
<filename>doc/Installation/Makefile</filename>,
<filename>doc/User/Makefile</filename>) merely invoke sub-make processes.
The topmost Makefile (<filename>doc/Makefile</filename> initiates the build
of the entire documentation set. Its other important function is to make
a documentation tarball</para>
<para>The doc tree and its build system were designed so that anyone with
the proper <link linkend="sec.tools">tools</link> can build documentation.
This facilitates the edit/compile/test/debug cycle. The doc developer need
not wait for the doc tree to be published on the internal web site before
discovering bugs and errors. The doc developer can edit sources, invoke
make to build products, test and debug the docs with his web browser, and
correct problems all before committing his changes to the CVS
repository.</para>
<para>Note that Makefiles are written in the GNU make dialect.</para>
<para>Below you will notice files with extensions
<filename>.rxml</filename>, <filename>.rhtml</filename>, and
<filename>.rtex</filename>. These are <firstterm>eruby</firstterm>
sources. Information on these type of files can be found in <xref

<note>
<title>A Philosophical Note</title>
<para>My personal philosophy is to:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>Avoid writing a "one-size-fits-all" stylesheet. Doing so
creates a large stylesheet (filled with lots of classes) which is hard
to understand and debug and which makes writing documents more
difficult.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Associate 1 stylesheet per document class—which is why there are
so many stylesheets above.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Write XHTML/HTML documents
using no presentational markup nor using the inline
<literal>style</literal> attribute (although I sometimes use the<sgmltag
class="starttag">style</sgmltag> element).</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Write stylesheets using the minimum number of style classes.
This rule simplifies stylesheets and the documents that use them
although it increases the number of stylesheets needed.</para>

<title>Editing XML Documents</title>
<para>This section discusses the use of emacs to edit XML documents.</para>
<para>
An ordinary text editor may be used to edit XML document content. However,
it is easy to get lost in the noise of XML syntax. Therefore, it is best
to use an XML DTD aware editor. This type of editor will help you
construct valid XML documents.
</para>
<para>Emacs is one such editor. It supports an editing environment called
XML mode (which is really a derivative of PSGML mode). XML mode highlights
XML syntax, indents nested elements and their content, and automatically
inserts elements and attributes based on the position of the insertion
point. It is still possible, though, to create invalid documents using
Emacs XML mode.
</para>
<para>Emacs XML mode can be used to edit XML based module descriptions,
XHTML documents, &dbk; documents, and any XML based language which is
described by a DTD.</para>
<para>
Recent versions of Emacs come with XML mode installed. You can check
if yours does by typing <userinput>M-x xml-mode</userinput>. You don't have
XML mode if you get the message
<screen>[No match]</screen> in return.
If you don't have XML mode you may get it

<title>Editing HTML and XHTML Documents</title>
<para>First of all you
should try to avoid HTML/XHTML altogether. Try using a higher-level markup
language like &dbk; or <x;.</para>
<para>Secondly, if you must use HTML
consider using XHTML instead. XHTML is an XML formulation of HTML. It is
not yet possible or practical to write pure XHTML but as much as possible
we should be implementing our HTML-type documents using XHTML. The
following rules for composing XHTML (and HTML) documents should be
followed:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>Use Emacs XML mode for composing XHTML documents.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Write tag and attribute names in lower case.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Enclose attribute values in quotes
(e.g. <userinput>id="sec.edithtmldocs"</userinput>)</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Close all elements.. I.e. never omit end tags. Empty
elements should be closed by either an end tag or by ending the start tag
with <userinput>/></userinput>, e.g. the horizontal rule element should
be written as <userinput><hr/></userinput></para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Nest elements properly.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>… and in general try to produce valid XHTML/HTML
documents.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Mind your character entities (see <xref endterm="charenttitle"
linkend="charent"/>).</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Avoid presentational markup (e.g. <sgmltag
class="starttag">font</sgmltag> elements) —Use external CSS stylesheets
or the <sgmltag class="starttag">style</sgmltag> element (but avoid
the inline <literal>style</literal> attribute) instead.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
These rules are explained more fully on the <ulink

<para>Documents which live in the <filename>doc</filename> side of the tree

Warning: XEmacs: Mod1 is being used for both Mode_switch and Alt.
Warning:
Two distinct modifier keys (such as Meta and Hyper) cannot generate
the same modifier bit, because Emacs won't be able to tell which
modifier was actually held down when some other key is pressed. It
won't be able to tell Meta-x and Hyper-x apart, for example. Change
one of these keys to use some other modifier bit. If you intend for
these keys to have the same behavior, then change them to have the
same keysym as well as the same modifier bit.
Warning:
The meanings of the modifier bits Mod1 through Mod5 are determined
by the keysyms used to control those bits. Mod1 does NOT always
mean Meta, although some non-ICCCM-compliant programs assume that.

[21.5.10] Win32 build experiences
21 years, 10 months
Schmitt, Christian (ext.)
Schmitt, Christian (ext.)
Hi,
I've been compiling XEmacs for the first time on Win32 in
the last coupleof days.
It went quite OK for the most part. Here are some things that
occurred to me:
- During compilation of the C code MS compiler keeps
spitting out this warning:
D:\xemacs-21.5\nt\..\src\text.h(42) : warning C4273: 'strlwr' :
Inkonsistente DLL-Bindung. dllexport angenommen.
D:\xemacs-21.5\nt\..\src\text.h(45) : warning C4273: 'strupr' :
Inkonsistente DLL-Bindung. dllexport angenommen.
This translates to: Inconsistent DLL binding. dllexport assumed.
But compilation succeeds and XEmacs seems to be running OK.
Using depends.exe I saw that my self-compiled XEmacs exports
the two functions strlwr and strupr whereas my pre-compiled
21.4.11 does not.
- The other thing is that while I was compiling on Win2K (SP2)
I was not able to run the resulting exe on WinNT 4.0 due to
a function GetLongPathNameW that is not present in NT but is
in Win98 and Win2K. I applied the patch mentioned here
http://list-archive.xemacs.org/xemacs-nt/200207/msg00021.html
and now the exe is starting on WinNT as well.
Thanks for a great product!
Cheers,
Christian Schmitt

Crash when quitting ediff-regions-wordwise
21 years, 10 months
Jonas Arvidsson
Jonas Arvidsson
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.
Please describe as succinctly as possible:
- What happened.
- What you thought should have happened.
- Precisely what you were doing at the time.
Please also include any C or lisp back-traces that you may have.
================================================================
Dear Bug Team!
When qutting an ediff-regions-wordwise or ediff-regions-linewise
