Ar an seachtú lá déag de mí Lúnasa, scríobh Stephen J. Turnbull: Yes, that’s a reasonable approach. It is, AIUI. Though the Gnus people do check with #’file-already-exists after they call it--see http://tinyurl.com/2hm355 in Google code search. The issue here is that I just changed the Lisp reader to error when it sees a Unicode code point that the current XEmacs doesn’t support. Portable code needs to be able to handle this case, because that’s what GNU does too; and we support all valid UCS code points right now in Mule XEmacs, so we don’t error illegitimately there. However, it happens *all the time* under non-Mule XEmacs, which is kind of the point of non-Mule XEmacs. Okay, I’ve got a solution; call #’read at runtime on escaped versions of the relevant strings. The tests aren’t executed on non-Mule, so the error won’t happen, but the Unicode escape functionality will still be tested in passing (while testing the coding-cookie-in-compiled-files functionality). I’ll send a patch later today. os-tests.el calls #’Skip-Test-Unless in a similar context (when components required for a test are not available) so something similar might be the least intrusive approach; I’m not certain what the right check would be, though-- (assq 'leim packages-package-list) ? But leim doesn’t provide all the input methods--egg and skk are exceptions, at least. -- On the quay of the little Black Sea port, where the rescued pair came once more into contact with civilization, Dobrinton was bitten by a dog which was assumed to be mad, though it may only have been indiscriminating.
