Carefully using the XEmacs vocabulary and having non-XEmacs developers
understand what I mean can be conflicting goals. You understood what I
meant.

It’s not.
(The reason things changed is that we take our language environment from
LC_CTYPE and interpretation of that variable got better--so
mule-packages/locale used the newly non-English locale. )

I don’t know. It’s your system; I’ve no idea if it does the sensible thing
and presents a normalised UTF-8 api for those cases. I can’t implement this
for you and get it right, without lots of information from you, along the
lines of:
1. Is system-type always 'darwin on Mac OS X?
2. What does locale -a give you?
3. Are other file systems’ names re-interpreted as above?
4. For Win32 file systems accessed over Samba, are the file names normalised
or not?
and whatever else comes up. And you’ve sufficient experience with XEmacs
that it would be more efficient of everyone’s time were you to do it
yourself.

As I ask above, does the API do the sensible thing and normalise?

I can get it right for standard average Unixes, and Win32 at some point in
the future, which are the machines I have access to.

Who? You, okay. But Volker Zell and Wulf Krüger? How is having a German
menubar in a German locale ‘hosed?’ My preliminary judgement on Mats’ Gnus
issue is that it’s a Gnus issue, but it’s something I need to look into
further.

Bullshit. The intuitive thing is for XEmacs to pay attention to the locale
and use that information. If the user has a particularly riced-out
environment that doesn’t conform to expectations, then that user can modify
the file-name and native coding system aliases by hand. Treating them as
Latin-1 when the environment indicates ‘probably otherwise’ is wrong and
annoying. And you can’t start your XEmacs in "/tmp/за родину!" and open that
directory after startup.

POSIX says that’s wrong. Also, I didn’t implement the use-POSIX-locales
code; I’m fixing bugs in it.

On Standard Average Unix, it _is_ the file name encoding. I’m mystified as
to why you don’t like this.

It wasn’t cross-platform, and didn’t make sense on native Windows. And note
I didn’t introduce the choice of LC_CTYPE--that was Ben, in 2002.

Users don’t care that much, in Europe. That we don’t respect the environment
just makes us look bad. People still get work done when they see their name
as Krüger or René, and the investment of time to get it working
right--when getting it working right is often not possible--is not economic.
But all other things being equal, they’ll prefer the app that gets it right.

Except that the second last entry in message-font-lock-keywords will remain
uncompiled, since the the byte compiler won’t recognise it as a lambda
expression and compile it as such.

Because then the lambda would never get byte-compiled--the
non-byte-compilation of the lambda expression is the problem, not the
solution. As I understand it, which I may not. Cf. Wulf’s second error
message:
(40) (general/warning) Error in unknown: Invalid function: (macro .
#<compiled-function (&rest cdr) “...(6)” [cdr function lambda] 3 737017>)
and the output of
(symbol-function 'lambda)
=> (macro . #<compiled-function (&rest cdr) "...(6)" [cdr function lambda] 3 674424>)
Whether this addresses his first error message is an open question.

[Bug: 21.5-b27] font-lock-fontify-* / infinite loop
17 years, 10 months
Wulf C. Krueger
Wulf C. Krueger
================================================================
Dear Bug Team!
I've font-lock-mode turned on by default. Using Gnus (from CVS as
well; updated and installed shortly before this bug report) and
answering an email (yank (with Supercite as in the XEmacs repository)
and reply) font locking runs into an infinite loop while "Fontifying
*wide reply to <recipient>*... (regexps).." is shown in the status
bar.
The mouse cursor continuously changes from the busy cursor to the
normal cursor and back.
The backtrace below ("recent messages") is shown when I abort
fontifying (Meta-g; which I usually have to press *twice* before it
really aborts).
Consequently, in the buffer to be fontified usually exactly one line
is correctly fontified while the rest is unmodified.
Interestingly, if I turn *off* font-lock-mode and switch it back on
while inside that buffer, it's being fontified correctly instantly.
I *think* I've seen this problem years ago once already and someone on
this list told me about a switch for font-lock-mode that fixed the
infinite loop but unfortunately I can't find the message in the
archives.
Feel free to request any additional information.
Oh, btw, why is my XEmacs standard menu ("File", etc.) suddenly in
German?

Sorry for the long delay. Have you gotten any response on this? Do
you have any further information?
I do have one question: what shell are you using?

Hi.
I have found a bug in cperl mode.
If I write code
s/\s+//g ;
it confuses cperl no end and tit hinks that a lot of code after this
statement is now comment.
If I change it to
s!\s+!!g
it works.
Regards,
Peter

Like everyone. Do you remember how many systems XEmacs runs on? Are you
suggesting we abandon any development, since we can’t test our changes on
platforms we don’t have access to? Wasn’t a distributed form of such testing
part of the point of a beta status?

You’re arguing with me about a design decision I didn’t make. If there’s a
design decision in XEmacs that you don’t like and you have a better approach
that solves the same problems, implement it. Don’t give other people hassle
for acknowledging that those decisions were made.

I don’t have strong feelings about it either way; I can see the logic behind
it, and it is clear that it contradicts POSIX. Either way, it’s a design
decision I didn’t make.

Are you suggesting we abandon any development, since we can’t test our
changes on platforms we don’t have access to? Wasn’t a distributed form of

I’ve had epic flame wars with Peter T. Daniels in sci.lang for using UTF-8
in my posts. In sci.lang. Where the necessity of using the IPA and non-Roman
scripts is daily. Now, there are workarounds to the absence of phonetic
symbols in ASCII, but by far the best solution is to use UTF-8 there. He’s
shut up about it since he abandoned Netscape 3 for Google Groups and no
longer sees the problem.
Peter’s an expert on writing systems and a Semiticist, and wilfully
non-technical. You’re not wilfully non-technical, I didn’t anticipate that
the idea that the better way to do things in general may cause you in
particular some pain, would be new to you.

No. The problem is not simple enough that we can provide people with an
interface much simpler than what we already have and have it solve most
people’s problems.

Mysterious.
What does
(values
(hash-table-key-list isearch-known-printable)
(let (res)
(map-keymap (lambda (key binding) (when (eq 'isearch-printing-char
binding)
(push key res)))

res))
give you? I’m interested in its return value both before and after you first
call isearch.

Right:-) . I’ve put the whole file as I have it up at
http://www.parhasard.net/xemacs/isearch-mode.el.bz2 , in case the fuzz is
the problem.

Bugger. Could you try it again with the checked-out isearch-mode.el, and
give me details of where you get fuzz? No need to re-dump, a byte-compile
and load before the first call to isearch-forward should do.
