ediff adding stray separators to Tools menu 22 years, 9 months

Adrian Aichner

Hello Michael, All! I have experienced following cosmetic problem in XEmacs 21.1.14 and now in XEmacs 21.5-b1: After evalling (require 'ediff-hook) (require 'ediff) in a vanilla XEmacs, the Tools menu has three extra separators at its end. Inspection of ediff-hook.el of ediff 1.30 1.30 Interface over GNU patch. suggests the problem is here: ;; Note we wrap this in a progn so that we pick up the whole def ;; for auto-autoload. That way we do not load ediff-hook.el when defining ;; the menus. ;;;###autoload (progn (defun ediff-xemacs-init-menus () (if (featurep 'menubar) (progn (add-submenu '("Tools") ediff-menu "OO-Browser...") (add-submenu '("Tools") ediff-merge-menu "OO-Browser...") (add-submenu '("Tools") epatch-menu "OO-Browser...") (add-submenu '("Tools") ediff-misc-menu "OO-Browser...") (add-menu-button '("Tools") "-------" "OO-Browser...") )))) I just wanted to report the problem now. Can do more testing after next tuesday, if required. Best regards, Adrian -- Adrian Aichner mailto:adrian＠xemacs.org http://www.xemacs.org/

question on buffer-file-coding-system 22 years, 9 months

Charles Waldman

I just found that hexl is broken if you build XEmacs without FILE_CODING turned on - it attempts to take the value of the variable buffer-file-coding-system which is not defined if FILE_CODING is not enabled. I submitted a silly patch for this that uses (boundp buffer-file-coding-system) to determine whether this variable is defined. This seems like a kludge. I'm wondering if it might be better to ensure that buffer-file-coding-system is defined even if FILE_CODING is not present. This means that package lisp wouldn't have to be checking whether buffer-file-coding-system is bound. On the other hand, this wouldn't help for people with older XEmacs versions who update their packages. What is the right way to handle this? Check for boundp in Lisp code, or make sure the variable is defined even if FILE_CODING is not enabled? Or some other approach?

what encoding is the X clipboard text in? 22 years, 9 months

Alexey Mahotkin

There is a slight misfeature in Mule XEmacs when working under X. When I type some Cyrillic text in XEmacs, then select it with mouse and paste it to xterm, I get various clearly wrong results. I understand the issues about e.g. mixed English-Russian-Chinese, which cannot be handled by eight-bit xterms). I think at least the simplest/user-defined case should be somehow worked out. Sometimes when I'm pasting text I get it in iso8859-5, internal Mule encoding. I want it to be in koi8-r (or other Cyrillic encoding of my choice). For that I need something like (set-clipboard-ccl-programs 'ccl-encode-koi8-r-font 'ccl-decode-koi8-r-font) (so that pastes from e.g. xterm to XEmacs would work too). When I try to paste from xterm (which AFAIU copies text to clipboard as a single-byte bytes in koi8-r) to XEmacs, I get the following there: %/1─┬koi8-rPRIWET The "PRIWET" part corresponds to the appropriate koi8-r characters with stripped eighth bit and flipped case (whoa!). I have a slight feeling that I've seen a function for that, but I can't find it anywhere. Sometimes also I get the Cyrillic string pasted to XTerm as a series of tilde characters, just like it happens when Mule can't find fonts for used encoding. I can't yet figure out how to exactly reproduce that. I'd be glad to test any patches for that matter. --alexm

I beg my pardon for not reporting that earlier (I've spotted the problem about a month ago), but better later than never. The problem with DNS lookups on XEmacs startup are caused by getaddrinfo() function with hints.ai_flags = AI_CANONNAME. These kinds of calls are in src/process-unix.c and src/sysdep.c. I think those functions are somewhat buggy in glibc 2.1.x. The nature of the bug is as follows. The FQDN of my machine is "tyranny.hsys.msk.ru". When XEmacs calls getaddrinfo(), that function tries to resolve sequentially "tyranny.hsys.msk.ru." "tyranny.msk.ru." "tyranny.ru." "tyranny." Same thing goes on with "localhost". Here are logs of my local DNS-cache: ＠400000003b5881b009bfb84c cached nxdomain localhost.hsys.msk.ru. ＠400000003b5881b009bfcbd4 sent 2775 39 ＠400000003b5881b009bfd78c query 2776 7f000001:0730:e0b6 28 localhost.msk.ru. ＠400000003b5881b009bfeb14 cached 28 localhost.msk.ru. ＠400000003b5881b009bffab4 sent 2776 34 ＠400000003b5881b009c0066c query 2777 7f000001:0730:e0b7 28 localhost.ru. ＠400000003b5881b009c019f4 cached 28 localhost.ru. ＠400000003b5881b009c02994 sent 2777 30 ＠400000003b5881b009c05874 query 2778 7f000001:0730:e0b8 28 localhost. ＠400000003b5881b009c06bfc sent 2778 27 I think this should be reported to glibc-people, but I could not find time for that.
