I was just looking over the warnings from compiling with icc to see if there was anything needing immediate attention, and found this one. In src/objects-x.c, line 830, is this: nameext = &xlfd[0]; which is slightly verbose since &xlfd[0] == xlfd, but is also a problem since xlfd is never assigned a value. It is a local variable, so it holds some junk pointer from random stack bytes, and then uses that junk pointer on the next line: LISP_STRING_TO_EXTERNAL (f->name, nameext, Qx_font_name_encoding); <trying_to_sound val="not bossy"> Stephen and Aidan, it looks like you two had your hands in this code last. Any idea what's going on here? </trying_to_sound> -- Jerry James, Assistant Professor james(a)xemacs.org Computer Science Department http://www.cs.usu.edu/~jerry/ Utah State University
