Needed to find the real name of a possibly aliased subr, in order to get its docstring. * sysfile.h: Make various file name primitives available to make-docfile and other non-emacs environments; define a constant that says how long a source filename can be in lib-src/DOC. 2006-04-29 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea(a)parhasard.net&gt; * doc.c: * doc.c (extract_object_file_name): * doc.c (get_object_file_name): * doc.c (Fbuilt_in_symbol_file): Support saving and recovering the source file name of a built-in symbol (that is, one created in C.) since this is the only thing I can think of that changed since we went through this same annoying process with Win2k and XEmacs 21.4. OTOH, I don't see why that would get initialized/referenced in a noninteractive invocation (eg, xemacs --help). We don't know what filenames it's looking for, right? I really wish Windows would give helpful error messages. This is like trying to debug a two-frame C backtrace.... _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
