Re: gud.el broken or is it just me? 23 years, 8 months

It mostly works[1], but it sorely lacks the functionality in gdbsrc.el. Making a gudsrc.el mode is on my list of things to do. It was in ftp://altair.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs-futures/ when I was on the 'net. It was delayed integration into the XEmacs packages pending 21.0 release. I also have a ported cua-mode.el to integrate. NOTE: The gud.el and cua-mode.el XEmacs portings are courtesy of Altrasoft, Inc. Thank you Altrasoft. Footnotes: [1] I have a report that my port does not work on Solaris with dbx.

XEmacs 21.0.60 core dumps on FreeBSD 2.2.6 26 years

Richard Coleman

After getting a core dump with 21.2.8, I thought I would try 21.0.60 and see if I had better luck. I also get a core dump with this version. I don't think it's my machine, since I just built 20.4 as well, and it works fine. I've attached a lisp backtrace, a gdb backtrace, and the Installation file. -- Richard Coleman coleman(a)math.gatech.edu Fatal error: assertion failed, file window.h, line 245, RECORD_TYPEP (_obj, lrecord_window) || MARKED_RECORD_P (_obj) Fatal error (6). Your files have been auto-saved. Use `M-x recover-session' to recover them. Please report this bug by running the send-pr script included with XEmacs, or selecting `Send Bug Report' from the help menu. As a last resort send ordinary email to `crashes(a)xemacs.org'. *MAKE SURE* to include the information in the command M-x describe-installation. If at all possible, *please* try to obtain a C stack backtrace; it will help us immensely in determining what went wrong. To do this, locate the core file that was produced as a result of this crash (it's usually called `core' and is located in the directory in which you started the editor, or maybe in your home directory), and type gdb /home/rcoleman/xemacs/xemacs-21.0.60/src/xemacs core then type `where' when the debugger prompt comes up. (If you don't have GDB on your system, you might have DBX, or XDB, or SDB. A similar procedure should work for all of these. Ask your system administrator if you need more help.)

temporary-file-directory 26 years, 1 month

Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen

Emacs has temporary-file-directory, which defaults to "/tmp/". It's a nice variable to have, since all other temp dir variables can use that variable as the default value, so I think XEmacs should have it as well. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi(a)ifi.uio.no * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen

This is wrong. The fundamental problem is that, within a terminal, the set of 3 distinct concepts "Delete", "Backspace", and "`C-h'" do not all exist, the 2nd & 3rd being the same thing. XEmacs 21 has mis-commandeered the first, which arrives as \177, misinterpreting it as "BS", which doesn't even exist in a terminal. This breaks many standard and common keymaps, Gnus' keymaps just being particularly good examples of a large, complex system's keymaps which have lots of references to multi-key sequences including <delete> but which have no knowledge of this peculiar thing called "BS". (Just to expand on the example, Gnus' *Group* buffer believes in "G delete" and "T delete", neither of which works in an xterm due to this problem.) 20.4 shares none of this braindamage, which understands "delete" in all contexts. 20.4 tells me that "delete runs the command backward-or-forward-delete-char" and "B delete runs the command gnus-summary-delete-article" when run both under X directly and within an xterm.

matt> That and network TV stations that actually turn off at night. I matt> fear, however, that I may have just dated myself. =) Oh, I don't know about that. Happens even in some big cities. For example, I was once Beijing watching an English language movie** in my hotel room. The TV station went off the air at 11pm, right in the middle of the movie. I'm guessing that Beijing is larger than West Lafayette, Indiana. [**] Apparently, they show English language programming as a language practice exercise. Huge portions of the populous are trying to learn English, but they have for practice mostly other Chinese who are also trying to learn English. So, the the People In Charge, actually watching the movie for entertainment value is a secondary or tertiary consideration. -- bill(a)carpenter.ORG (WJCarpenter) PGP bill(a)bubblegum.net 0x91865119 38 95 1B 69 C9 C6 3D 25 73 46 32 04 69 D6 ED F3

I finally got 1 hour or two to deal with this problem this afternoon. After a while, I found a place where the dumped lisp code from startup.el was finding a bogus number of arguments to pass to make-frame. This sounded like a bytecode bug, so out of curiosity, I just removed all dumped elcs and re-byte-compiled them. Guess what ... the crash is gone. I still don't really understand how this can have happened. There was not supposed to be any change in the bytecode lately right ? BTW: it seems that from severals 21.2 betas, my old crash preventing me from opening a frame on another display is gone too. Woao, '98 ends up in a real festival !!
