Fwd: xemacs winclient improvements
14 years, 3 months
Reini Urban
Hi
I'm back in business :)
I switched from native Win32 to cygwin because of the non-matching
Win32 permissions.
Cygwin ACL's are sometimes fucked up by inheritance.
So I have several improvements.
Patches inlined because gmail uploader fails on my proxy

Subject: xemacs winclient improvements
To: The Cygwin Mailing List <cygwin(a)cygwin.com>
Several xemacs ideas:
* I added -mwindows to the winclient linker step which results in a
much improved winclient.
I'll take this patch to xemacs-patches by myself.
* parseCommandLine() does not work on cygwin this way.
It uses the Win32 API to find files, and should be special cased to
use the POSIX API.
I'll discuss this at xemacs-beta
* xemacs-21.5.28-3 uses slow defaults:
Compiling in support for extra debugging code.
Compiling in support for runtime error checking.
WARNING: ---------------------------------------------------------
WARNING: XEmacs will run noticeably more slowly as a result.
WARNING: Error checking is on by default for XEmacs beta releases.
WARNING: ---------------------------------------------------------
hmm. 21.5.28 is stable for me and upstream. maybe remove this.
* build failure on 1.7:
In file included from
/usr/src/xemacs-21.5.28-3/src/xemacs-21.5.28/src/console-msw.h:41,
from
/usr/src/xemacs-21.5.28-3/src/xemacs-21.5.28/src/cmdloop.c:43:
/usr/src/xemacs-21.5.28-3/src/xemacs-21.5.28/src/syswindows.h:500:
error: conflicting types for 'wcstok'
/usr/include/wchar.h:92: error: previous declaration of 'wcstok' was here
make[1]: *** [cmdloop.o] Error 1
This needs a patch upstream. Maybe I'll take it upstream.

CEDET build help needed
15 years, 2 months
Eric M. Ludlam
Hi,
I'm trying to build a new distribution for CEDET
(http://cedet.sf.net), and ran into some basic issues running my
testsuite w/ XEmacs, and could use some advice.
I'm using the Ubuntu package of 21.4 (patch 21). This version
includes some very old packages relating to jde, ecb, and friends. JDE
in particular throws an error that my version of semantic (1.0pre7) is
too new. It wants 1.4.4.
Is there a command-line or other setting I can use to disable packages
that are part of an XEmacs install like this so I can effectively run
these tests, or allow users to do an install on top of what is in
XEmacs?
Thanks
Eric

[A] External GIF support [Request for Comment]
15 years, 2 months
Stephen J. Turnbull
APPROVE
Redirected discussion to xemacs-beta, this needs checking IMO.
Specifically, people on Windows, and non-Linux non-*BSD Unix which
might not have giflib available, or not have it where Jerry thinks you
should have it. :-) (Note you should wait a bit before updating as
Jerry hasn't committed yet.)
Removing the internal support seems a bit drastic. Why not leave it
in for say six months, but completely #ifndef USE_INTERNAL_GIF'ed out
(and with a comment saying "if nobody reports a need by 2010/03/01,
please remove this obsolete code"? If somebody wants to get running
with GIF in a hurry but doesn't have an immediately accessible giflib,
they can just add a
#define USE_INTERNAL_GIF 1
to src/config.h by hand. No need to autoconfiscate this
"USE_INTERNAL_GIF" hack.

xemacs crashes after click on menu bar
15 years, 2 months
Matthias Scheutz
Clicking anywhere on the menu bar causes xemacs to crash with the
following terminal output:
Fatal error: assertion failed, file menubar-x.c, line 579, ABORT()
Fatal error (6).
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 that won't work, send ordinary
email to `xemacs-beta(a)xemacs.org'. *MAKE SURE* to include this entire
output from this crash, especially including the Lisp backtrace, as well
as 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/bin/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.
Lisp backtrace follows:
# (unwind-protect ...)
# (unwind-protect ...)
# (unwind-protect ...)

[Bug: 21.4.22] Lonely crash of XEmacs_21_4_22_powerpc_ibm_aix5_3 after hundreds of hours of use with no problem whatsoever
15 years, 2 months
Laurent Langlois
Dear XEmacs maintainer,
I have had only one crash of XEmacs after hundreds hours of flawless
use.
I am not the least concerned about this crash. However, I was able to
get a stack backtrace. I had to trick 'dbx' just a bit to get it to
provide the backtrace. Please find below an initial attempt at
using 'dbx', then some shell commands and then the successfull
attempt with the backtrace.
Many thanks indeed.

Too much life, too little emacs time.
15 years, 3 months
Aidan Kehoe
I apologise for my delay in some work and responses over the last few days;
I have a friend visiting right now, an exam on the 28th, and I’m moving that
weekend. The first week of September I’m entirely free, though, and I intend
to do nothing but XEmacs and SXEmacs work then.

Extending the font-lock region?
15 years, 3 months
Raymond Toy
Another part of getting slime to work with xeamcs...
Slime will highlight Lisp code so that reader conditionals are
highlighted differently if they are enabled are not. From what I can
tell (I use lazy-shot), font-lock runs over a portion of the file.
Sometimes this portion stops in the middle of a form that is
conditionalized by some reader conditional:
#-foo
(defun bar ()
<long function>
<font-lock region end here>
<more function>
)
For emacs, slime has a hook to extend the font-lock region.
Is it possible to do something similar with xemacs?

Bug in add-local-hook/add-hook?
15 years, 3 months
Raymond Toy
Not sure this is a bug or not, but it seems not right to me. However,
I rarely play with hooks in this way, so perhaps I'm totally wrong.
Create a new buffer *junk*. In that buffer, C-h v post-command-hook.
The value is nil.
In *scratch* create the dummy function:
(defun dummy ())
Now in *junk* do M-: and eval
(add-local-hook 'post-command-hook 'dummy t)
What I see is that post-command-hook now has the value
(t dummy)
That doesn't seem right. Shouldn't it be just '(dummy)? And the
value of t wouldn't work very well since it's not a function.
Without append, add-local-hook just creates (dummy), which looks right
to me.
Is this right?
Ray
