Ar an cúigiú lá déag de mí Bealtaine, scríobh Jeff Sparkes: The X11 keysym code, which needs to do something similar, puts a property on the associated symbol, like so: (symbol-plist 'EuroSign) => (character-of-keysym ?€) So for FROB_CURSOR, you could do something like: DECLARE_EISTRING (scratch); #define FROB_CURSOR(X) do { \ eireset (scratch); \ eicpy_ascii (scratch, #X + 4); \ eilwr (scratch); \ Fput (intern_massaging_name (eidata (scratch), Qgtk_cursor_type, \ make_int (0 + X))); \ } while (0) FROB_CURSOR (GTK_ARROW); [...] and cursor_name_to_index becomes: { Lisp_Object res = Fget (intern (name), Qgtk_cursor_type, Qnil); if (NILP (res) || !INTP (res)) { invalid_state ("Gtk cursor names not registered", build_ascstring (name)); } return (GdkCursorType) XINT (res); } That’s very cheap, and there’s an argument for doing it here for consistency within XEmacs, but there’s also the counterargument that symbol plist entries can’t have docstrings. You’d also have to declare the symbol in the appropriate places; see how Qglyph_animated_timeout_handler is declared in glyphs.c, as a random example. Note that make_lisp_hash_table () is probably general enough for most C callers, there’s no need to construct an argument vector for the keywords. -- “Apart from the nine-banded armadillo, man is the only natural host of Mycobacterium leprae, although it can be grown in the footpads of mice.” -- Kumar & Clark, Clinical Medicine, summarising improbable leprosy research _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
