Re: DLL stuff (working!)

I'd like to offer a few important comments and questions: * Why is the syntax of declaring dynamic SUBR's different from the rest of XEmacs? I'm not sure this is acceptable, really. * Why are you using specialized error functions instead of the Emacs ones? As a reminder, Emacs has error(), signal_simple_error(), and a bunch of others. See eval.c for details. Also, your error messages are at odds with the usual Emacs error conventions. Please look them up, or mail me privately if you need more details on what exactly I mean. * I believe your code is not Mule-clean, and as such not eligible for application to XEmacs. Hint: casting XSTRING_DATA (foo) to `char *' is something that should *NOT* be done. Again, ask if you need more explanations. * dll-list-modules should really return a list, not a vector. Vectors should be used only for data structures that require random access, as opposed to front-to-end searches. -- Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic(a)srce.hr&gt; | Student at FER Zagreb, Croatia --------------------------------+-------------------------------- "A Real Programmer's code can awe with its fiendish brilliance, even as its crockishness appalls."
