Martin Buchholz

The following text has been added to http://cvs.xemacs.org/#committers You can debug your ssh connection by doing something like ssh -v cvs.xemacs.org, and on connecting (there will be no prompt) entering the command noop, and if ssh is working, getting the response ok. ... You can test this by running a harmless CVS command, like cvs-rw diff version.sh.

Re: Emacspeak 11.0 on xemacs 21.2.27 23 years, 8 months

For everyone on xemacs-beta that doesn't know, Emacspeak kicks serious ass. Raman was kind enough to get me a dectalk express when I was helping get Emacs/W3 working with it, and I was hooked for months and months. Then work called, then he asked for it back. :) <rant mode=gush> The only analog that Emacspeak has is a screen reader, but that doesn't do it justice. The 'speech-enabled-desktop' that raman talks about in his documentation is really the only way to describe it. Now that ViaVoice Outload is available for free, I can get addicted again. For laptop use, it is truly phenomenal. You can turn your backlight off and really confuse the people on the plane, while doubling or tripling your battery life. </rant> Anybody who's got a linux box should really try it out. I've yet to get it back up and running on my Vaio, but will have to fix that before my next trip. -Bill P.

Yes, we should, because I use interchangeably the "lisp object" description entry for actual lisp objects and for pointers to lrecords since, memory-wise, they're identical, and I don't like duplicating code. There are instances were these pointers are null. > /* Here is code that doesn't use the fact that there is only one > Lisp_Type that is a pointer.

Note that these "errors" are only because you're compiling with a C++ compiler. The code is perfectly valid ISO C code. And frankly, I tend to consider all the added casts unnecessary noise. OTOH, being able to get the better warnings a C++ compiler can give you is a good thing, so I won't veto any patch on this basis. > Fatal error: assertion failed, file /net/lasker/xemacs/ws/dev/src/lisp.h, line 1292, INTP (obj) I _think_ that's a side effect of not saving the DEFVAR_LISP.

Re: Portable dumper, win32 23 years, 8 months

He could have done without mmap() by using just open() and read(). > By the way, would the rel_alloc thing be interesting for win32 ? In > this case, having mmap/mmunmap replacements would be useful. Will that work under Windows? The mmap-based relocating allocator works by allocating chunks anonymously. For instance: fd = open ("/dev/zero", O_RDONLY); void *ptr = mmap (0, how_much, PROT_xxx, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); That way you can allocate a chunk of memory independent of your normal data segment and, more importantly, you can unmap it without causing segmentation. If Windows doesn't support anonymous mapping, mmap-based allocator won't work.
