6:10 a.m.
A couple of users have reported warnings on 21.5.31 when using
"gnuclient -nw" and XEmacs has a graphics image that was created using
(make-glyph ... :data ...). See issue778 for details (including the
values of the :data-based and :file-based glyphs that I talk about
below).
I'd like some guidance on how the code is supposed to work.
First question: as described in issue778, the test-case glyph from MH-E
is different depending on whether it was created using :data or :file.
With:data, the specifier has tty and stream clauses that it lacks when
created with :file. Is that to be expected?
Second question: suppose a buffer is created containing one of these
:data glyphs while the current frame is an X window, and then the buffer
is then viewed in a tty frame. With 21.5.31, the user gets warnings.
With 21.5.29+0d436a78c514, there are no warnings, even though the
glyph's specifier still has those tty and stream clauses. Is this
new warning expected?
thanks,
mike

I'd need to see the exact code which is instantiating the images.
However remember that there are many source types for images. If you
only provide the :data element, the image instantiator code will have
to guess media type based on content. I suspect there's a bug in that
code that has a bad interaction with the generic specifier code that
tries to instantiate on all consoles. On the other hand the :file
element uses the file name extension to guess type, and I suspect is
more accurate.

I replied:
No.
I'm sorry, I sent without reading carefully. I'm not entirely sure
without looking at the code more carefully, but I suspect the answer
is "Yes, at least sometimes." For example, if the :data were simply a
string, then it would be displayable in all those cases, and the
specifier code would try to instantiate. I suppose the media type
guessing code is invoked separately for each domain, maybe different
code is involved.

Okay. Here's an example, based on the MH-E code.

In both cases, the specifier includes the format (xpm). So there
shouldn't be any need for XEmacs to guess the format, should there?

I guess not. I don't know why this happens. You can dig into the
specifier code if you like. It will be a couple of weeks before I
can, though.

Okay. It's not urgent for me because there's a workaround. I've put it
on my list, and we'll see who finds a round tuit first. ;-)
