Left-click. 19 years, 9 months

Aidan Kehoe

Just a note, in case I forget it: in Info mode, a left click on a link should follow it, not simply put point in that piece of text. Rationale: anyone clicking, instead of using the keyboard, isn’t an expert Emacs user, and as such is more likely to be used to web browsers’ behaviour than that of Emacs. Ditto for the [State] link in Customize. -- “I, for instance, am gung-ho about open source because my family is being held hostage in Rob Malda’s basement.

[Bug: 21.5-b19] constrain-to-field is undefined (fill-paragraph-or-region fails) 19 years, 9 months

I can't display a message in gnus. 19 years, 9 months

Francois Maltey

Hello, I compile and use the : "XEmacs 21.5 (beta18) \"chestnut\" (+Xft+CVS-20041209) [Lucid] (i686-pc-linux, Mule) of Thu Feb 24 2005 on petoncle" I use gnus for my mails : "Gnus v5.10.6" And I can't display some mime-mails. I get in the message-line : Symbol's function definition is void: xft-xlfd-font-name-p The head of the mail is bellow : Is it an xemacs error, a gnus error, a error in my configuration files ?

The New MacOS X port. 19 years, 9 months

Malcolm Purvis

For those who don't read comp.emacs.xemacs, Andrew Choi has announced a new port to XEmacs (http://members.shaw.ca/akochoi-xemacs/index.html). This port is not based on Pitts Jarvis's efforts. I've been comparing the two versions and I'm most impressed by the new version. It's a much more conservative effort which makes it easier to understand. It also builds using the standard './configure ; make ; make install' sequence rather than the existing convoluted process. I find the combination attractive to work on. Others may think so too. I'd like this version to be adopted as the MacOS port with a view to incorporating it into the mainline in the nearish future. Thoughts anyone? Malcolm -- Malcolm Purvis <malcolmp(a)xemacs.org>

Thats correct, memory is zeroed at allocation time. SM> - first byte of "object" member must also be zero (this I dont get). No it is not. And this leads to an uncorrent count value! The data looks like this: offset 16: 1 (the value as it is meant) offset 17: 0 offset 18: 0 offset 19: 10 (this is the first byte of "object") In binary this is: (gdb) x/t irdata 0x8b63885: 00001010000000000000000000000001 Altogether on a little endian machine leads to an int value (offset 16--19): * (int*) (&Rune->type) ==> 167772161 Later in lispdesc_process_xd_union this wrong count value randomly leads to the correct result: no variant of the XD_UNION is matched, so nothing is marked. In this case this is correct, since variant 1 only contains a char, so this variant has not to be processed. This should break for variant 2, which contains Lisp_Objects that have to be marked. Those wouldn't get marked then (at least not through this branch of the mark tree). Anyways, I couldn't produce this situation, maybe they get marked by another branch. So this really is a bug on _all_ systems, not only on sparc. I don't know why this causes a crash on sparc. Maybe it has problems with the not aligned integer cast. But this is just a guess. Anyways, it is good that it did! SM> - system has to be little endian?

how to add support for more Unicode characters? 19 years, 9 months

Mike FABIAN

XEmacs 21.5.18 still doesn't support some Unicode characters which are supported by Emacs 21.3. For example: U+201E DOUBLE LOW-9 QUOTATION MARK U+263A WHITE SMILING FACE See the attached test-file which can be displayed correctly by Emacs 21.3 but not by XEmacs 21.5.18. What needs to be done to add support for such characters? -*- coding: utf-8 -*- 〓 U+201E DOUBLE LOW-9 QUOTATION MARK 〓 U+263A WHITE SMILING FACE -- Mike FABIAN <mfabian(a)suse.de> http://www.suse.de/~mfabian 睡眠不足はいい仕事の敵だ。

Greetings - Attempting to build the latest 21.5 from CVS results in the following errors under SunOS-5.5: Undefined first referenced symbol in file XtUnregisterDrawable select-x.o XtRegisterDrawable select-x.o Aidan, my guess is that this is a result of your changes.
