Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic(a)iskon.hr&gt; writes in xemacs-beta(a)xemacs.org: That sounds O.K. Agreed. You left out * define new lrecord types * acess to a subset of standard symbols (for basic coding systems, etc.) Also, is macro expansion an issue? Two other library interfacing issues I ran across doing the Postgres interface are: May I respectfully request that `define-error' be moved into C? May I respectfully request that the functionality of XtAppAddInput be added to the XEmacs event loop? The Postgres interface code needs this to be able to deal with the asynchronous interface adequately. Right now, hitting a blocking operation that never returns kills the editor and that is unacceptable. I noticed in grepping the sources that Didier's multicast code needs it too. It is not unreasonable to have file descriptors that are read outside of XEmacs main logic. It is also not unreasonable to allow them to be added to select(2) file descriptor masks. Under Unix, we use select loops, either via Xt, or via a home-brewed version when running tty-only. Does a similar functionality exist under MS-Windows?
