21.5 build time segmentation fault 5 years, 7 months

Mats Lidell

Hi, I have received this bug report, https://bugs.gentoo.org/661592, which is about a segmentation violation during the build process of xemacs 21.5.34. I managed to recreate the problem once(!) on one of my machines but after that I have not been able to get it again, sigh, although I have tried it a like 20 times or more. I can't see that we have had this issue on the build bot either which uses the same machine I got the error on and does a lot of builds!? Aidan: Have you seen anything like this? (With a hope that some recent development you have done has touched and fixed things that could cause segmentation violations in this old code base!?) Yours -- %% Mats

is speed a concern? 5 years, 10 months

Julian Bradfield

Another possibly silly question arising from perusal of the great Mule merge... Is speed (or small linear factors in memory) ever actually a concern nowadays? The whole deal of supporting multiple internal buffer formats seems to be justified by speed for multi-lingual processing, and there are various tricky things scattered around the rest of the code to improve speed. The last time I can remember being disturbed by XEmacs' slowness was sometime in the mid 90s when I was running Lucid Emacs 19 on a 68040. (The days when a full compile was a go-out-for-long-dinner job rather than a you-may-just-have-time-to-make-coffee job.) On the other hand, I don't do extensive non-English processing. Do people find XEmacs noticeably slow in any normal usage pattern? -- The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with registration number SC005336. _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta

how to access the whole csv repository 6 years, 2 months

Uwe Brauer

Hi I'd like to try, out of curiosity to access the old csv xemacs repo, to see how it can be converted in a better way to mercurial. Anybody knows pointer. I am looking in the webarchive but cannot find it. Uwe Brauer

the repository seems a mess for older commits 6 years, 3 months

Uwe Brauer

Hi X-symbol works in the 21.5 series only with an ancient patch from Steve Turnbull (2010). So I wanted to have a close look into the patch, which is against commit 9624523604c5. However hg log -G | grep 9624523604c5 Gives me, | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | parent: 5036:9624523604c5 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | parent: 5036:9624523604c5 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | parent: 5036:9624523604c5 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | parent: 5036:9624523604c5 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | parent: 5036:9624523604c5 | o | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | changeset: 5036:9624523604c5 Which looks extremly messy. g log | grep 9624523604c5 parent: 5036:9624523604c5 parent: 5036:9624523604c5 parent: 5036:9624523604c5 parent: 5036:9624523604c5 parent: 5036:9624523604c5 changeset: 5036:9624523604c5 Which does not look much better. I bet this commit is pre mercurial. So two question: 1. That was still csv? 2. Which tool was used to convert to mercurial? I might ask on the mercurial list how to un spagetti this mess, maybe with rebase, but I would need some more information and then also would like to know whether there is interest in the list to do it. Regards Uwe Brauer
