(new folding 2.64) Problems with text-modes/folding.el and XEmacs 21
* Thu 1999-08-19 stefan.becker(a)nokia.com mail.emacs
Heavens, it took long to get a decent PC working. I'm not there
yet, but close enough to start working slowly with Emacs again
So, Hi Stefan! I submitted newest version 2.64 to anders and testing with
prebuilt win32 XEmacs 21.2.6, I do not get any errros any more. The
goto-line works without problems in the report below.
Let me know if there are other troubles left.

| ELisp file: text-modes/folding.el
| Version : X.x Feb 12 1998 [Jari 2.30] (from the change history)
|
| [ Jari & Anders: I'm not sure if you are still maintaining folding.el ]
|
| There seems to be a problem with the folding mode and XEmacs 21.1 (I have
| tried .4 and .6). When you try to goto a line inside a sub-fold with a
| nesting level 2 or higher you get the following error message:
|
| wrong type argument: sequencep, 2
|
| instead of entering the fold with an updated "2Fld", "3Fld", ...
mode-line.
| If the buffer has been "unfolded" (Show whole buffer) then the goto works
| but of course it only enters the first fold nesting level.
|
| When I start XEmacs 20.4, load & evaluate folding.el from text-modes 1.21
| (it doesn't come with 20.4), everything works fine, that is XEmacs enters
| the folds and shows "2Fld", "3Fld" and so on.
|
| You can try to reproduce this bug with the folding.el file:
|
| c-x c-f /usr/local/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages/lisp/text-modes/folding.el
| M-x folding-mode -> Folds buffer
| M-g 2928
|
| or you can try with the following small C program and try to go to line 10:
|
| ---------------------------------- Cut Here -------------------------
| /* {{{ fold1 */
|
| Inside fold1
|
| /* {{{ fold1.1 */
|
| Inside fold1.1
| /* {{{ fold1.1.1 */
|
| fold1.1.1
|
| /* }}} */
|
| /* }}} */
| Again inside fold1
|
| /* }}} */
|
| /* {{{ fold2 */
|
| fold2
|
| /* }}} */
|
| /* {{{ fold3 */
|
| fold3
|
| /* }}} */
| ---------------------------------- Cut Here --------------------------
|
| Maybe this has something to do with the error messages from XEmacs when you
| try to byte-compile folding.el:
|
| ------------------------ Cut Here -------------------------------
| bosw27:text-modes> xemacs -batch -no-site-file -no-init-file -eval '(setq
| load-path (cons "." load-path))' -f batch-byte-compile folding.el
| Compiling
| /appl/pdtools/common/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages/lisp/text-modes/folding.el..
| .
| Loading overlay...
| ** folding.el: Info, Ignore [X]Emacs specific missing event-/posn- functions

| Wrote
| /appl/pdtools/common/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages/lisp/text-modes/folding.elc
| Done
| ------------------------ Cut Here -------------------------------
|
| I'm no emacs-lisp expert so I have no idea what the error could be...
