I didn't see this fix in your last mega-patch. Do you still have it in your workspace? Just trying to make sure we don't lose any patches... Gunnar

Object printing broken 25 years, 1 month

Andy Piper

After the latest round of patches gdb now SEGV's on me if I try and print out lisp objects - e.g. doing ldp when I have loaded .gdbinit. I have no idea what the cause might be, but it worked fairly recently and its pretty annoying when you are trying to debug stuff. Hmm, ok this fixes it: 2000-07-29 Andy Piper <andy(a)xemacs.org> * print.c (debug_print_no_newline): only write to debugger if in WIN32_NATIVE. andy -------------------------------------------------------------- Dr Andy Piper Principal Consultant, BEA Systems Ltd

Well, recompiling ccase.el with 21.2.35 seems to have fixed this problem. Ray

Re: The need for a new XEmacs NT binary 25 years, 1 month

Some time ago, Sandra Wambold wrote... > From what I understand, we have a new version that solves the "won't >start on some machines" problem, but we don't have a binary for it. >(Please correct me if I'm wrong). If I am not mistaken, the non-starting problem has to do with driver DLLs smuggled by the system into the address space of the process, so that the heap cannot be recreated at the same address as it was dumped from. This problem has no cure, except for the portable dumper, which, IMO, works more or less (please correct me if I am wrong again; I spent more time outside xemacs lately). Question for which I am crossposting this to xemacs-beta: what's up with the portable dumper? Last time I tried it, there was no definitive algorithm for locating the xemacs.dmp file; when I grepped through my beta mailbox starting from March, I found nothing relevant (unventive regexp?). -kkm

21.2.35, file name completion and ccase 25 years, 1 month

Raymond Toy

I've been using ccase.el with 21.2.34 without any real problems for a couple of weeks. (Very nice!) However, it doesn't work so well with 21.2.35 now. The major problem thus far is that file name completion doesn't work very well at all. With 21.2.34 I could do filename completion with view tags just fine. Now 21.2.35 does weird things. C-x C-f /view/<viewtag>/ <TAB> is ok (where <viewtag> is some view tag). If I continue with /view/<viewtag>/v and press TAB, I get a beep and the cursor moves back to just after /view. In 21.2.34, this would complete correctly to /view/<viewtag>/vobs. Since the only difference is that I've upgraded to 21.2.35, I assume the problem is due to some change in filename completion in 21.2.35? Ray

A similar change is already in Emacs, apparently without problems, so I cannot see any reason not to apply Kenichi Okada's patch.

RE: 21.1.11: XEmacs cannot start ... 25 years, 1 month

Alastair Houghton

> I looked through the make file and didn't see any additional options. I > know the 21.2 tree has the portable dumper code in it, could that be what > you were thinking of? Yep. That's it exactly. I think the portable dumper's supposed to fix this problem - but I've never actually tried using it (or needed to use it) so I don't know for certain. [from the other e-mail] > I guess the bottom line for everyone waiting for a 21.1.11 binary build to > fix their "It wont start" problem is you aren't really any closer > to having > a working installation, but now it will tell you you're hosed instead of > silently dying. :( Yep. But silently dying is much much worse, because it leaves people with the impression that the program doesn't work at all, whereas in reality, it just doesn't work when built on someone else's machine. > Yes, it is NT 4 SP 5. I saw an experimental patch of yours to try and tell > what the offending dll is, I'll try to compile it in this evening and test > it tomorrow on the broken machine. Don't hold your breath. It looked to me like your memory region wasn't part of a module (i.e. DLL or EXE) - but it could still work I suppose. I'm not entirely certain that what I did in that patch is safe, which is why it's "experimental"; I think it probably is, but it's certainly undocumented... Kind regards, Alastair. ____________________________________________________________ Alastair Houghton ajhoughton(a)lineone.net
