+＠cindex Incremental Collector, discussion
+
+The incremental collector is designed to allow better ``realtime''
+performance by not requiring a full mark and sweep pass. This also
+allows removal of most finalizers, as described in
+＠samp{<vpd8x1fomdx.fsf＠(a)informatik.uni-tuebingen.de>} by Marcus Crestani
+on xemacs-beta:
+
+I was able to nuke many finalizers by transforming
+separately allocated data structures to Lisp objects. Some of the
+remaining finalizers are also likely to go away, as soon as I (or
+someone else) find the time to ``lift'' the remaining, separately allocated
+objects to Lisp objects.
+
+Unfortunately, the current Lisp object layout leads to holes in the
+write barrier: Not all data structures that contain pointers to Lisp
+objects are allocated on the Lisp heap. Some Lisp objects do not carry
+all their information in the object itself. External parts are kept in
+separately allocated memory blocks that are not managed by the new Lisp
+allocator. Examples for these objects are hash tables and dynamic
+arrays, two objects that can dynamically grow and shrink. The separate
+memory blocks are not guaranteed to reside on page boundaries, and thus
+cannot be watched by the write barrier.
+
+Moreover, the separate parts can contain live pointers to other Lisp
+objects. These pointers are not covered by the write barrier and
+modifications by the client during garbage collection do escape. In
+this case, the client changes the connectivity of the reachability
+graph behind the collector's back, which eventually leads to erroneous
+collection of live objects. To solve this problem, I transformed the
+separately allocated parts to fully qualified Lisp objects that are
+managed by the allocator and thus are covered by the write barrier.
+This also removes a lot of special allocation and removal code for the
+out-sourced parts. Generally, allocating all data structures that
+contain pointers to Lisp objects on one heap makes the whole memory
+layout more consistent.
+
+A large part of the patch converts these data structures to Lisp
+objects. The conversion of an additionally allocated data structure to
+an Lisp objects includes:
+＠itemize
+＠item Add new object type to ＠samp{enum lrecord_type} in ＠file{lrecord.h}.
+＠item Add ＠samp{lrecord_header} to the object's struct.
+＠item Add ＠samp{DECLARE_RECORD()}/＠samp{XFOO}/etc. below the struct definition.
+＠item Add lrecord definition.
+＠item Change allocation with malloc to allocation with new allocator.
+＠item Add object to ＠samp{syms_of_*()}.
+＠item Change memory description of parent object.
+＠item Modify finalizer, free, or delete functions.
+＠end itemize
+
+The initial motivation for this is the write barrier and the consistent
+format for all objects that may contain Lisp pointers. That we can get
+rid of finalizers this way follows naturally.

Hm, that's a good point. On the other hand, add-to-list is a pretty
userland kind of function. Maybe it should be moved later. Also,
member* is defined as a compiler macro; it would be nice if that could
be used.

A "use case" is real code, not an accident of API. I'll take that as
a "no". ;-)

Fix specifier inheritance behavior
This patch ensures that no fallback is used if so requested, when the
specifier instantiation process involves inheritance (for instance, a face
[property] inheriting from another face [property]).

Sorry. The difference is in the reassignment of those two BEG and END
variable. They were used to determind the extent/overlay
starting/ending point, and in XEmacs these can not be a value outside
buffer or it will cause the "Argment out of range" error.
So in my first copy of overlay.el I make them limited in range
[(point-min), (point-max)], but after sending out the email I findout
this could break functionality if the buffer is narrowed.
Then I composed the second path, whth BEG and END limited in range [0,
(buffer-size)], but, again, I find this even worse:
XEmacs don't accept 0 as extend/overlay starting point, and report
"Argment out of range"
(buffer-size) is 1 character less than (point-max) in a widen buffer.
The second copy is totally broken... :'( sorry for no testing
After some rethought I change the range to [1, (1+ (buffer-size))] , and
run some code assumed would be failed if using the official XEmacs
overlay.el.
That's the whole story, wish it is clear enough for you to understand
the situation.
Thanks

Sorry, I have to say NO.
and, please see the attached patch, which I'd tested using the following
code in scratch buffer:
;; This buffer is for notes you don't want to save, and for Lisp evaluation.
;; If you want to create a file, first visit that file with C-x C-f,
;; then enter the text in that file's own buffer. (C-x is the standard
;; XEmacs abbreviation for `Control+x', i.e. hold down the Control key
;; while hitting the x key.)
;;
;; For Lisp evaluation, type an expression, move to the end and hit C-j.

Er, given their long (and not necessarily yet over) history of \201
regressions, I'd call it a felicitous typo. ;-)

<h3>User-Visible Editing Features</h3>
<p>
- In XEmacs, images of arbitrary size can be embedded in a buffer.

- </p>
-
- <p>
- In XEmacs, variable width fonts work. (Soon available in GNU
- Emacs 21.)

-
- <p>
- The height of a line is the height of the tallest font on that
- line, instead of all lines having the same height. (Soon
- available in GNU Emacs 21.)
+ As of GNU Emacs 22, XEmacs's GUI features (images, variable pitch
+ fonts, widgets) are reported by some GNU Emacs users to be more
+ efficient and usable than GNU Emacs's.

<p>
- <!-- #### Is this obsolete? -->
- XEmacs provides support for ToolTalk on systems that have it.
- <!-- #### Possibly I should drop mention of DnD? -->
- Experimental support for drag-and-drop protocols is provided from
- XEmacs 21.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- XEmacs can ask questions using popup dialog boxes. Any command
- executed from a menu will ask yes/no questions with dialog boxes,
- while commands executed via the keyboard will use the minibuffer.

XEmacs has a built-in toolbar. Four toolbars can actually be
configured simultaneously: top, bottom, left, and right toolbars.
+ [A single toolbar was added to GNU Emacs 21.]
</p>
+ <h3>General Platform Support</h3>
+
<p>
- XEmacs has vertical and horizontal scrollbars. Unlike in GNU
- Emacs 19 (which provides a primitive form of vertical scrollbar),
- these are true toolkit scrollbars. A look-alike Motif scrollbar
- is provided for those who don't have Motif. (Even for those who
- do, the look-alike may be preferable as it is faster.)
+ Starting with XEmacs 21.4, if your platform supports dynamically
+ loadable modules, so does XEmacs. RMS continues to refuse to
+ allow this facility in GNU Emacs, because it makes it easier to
+ distribute modules in violation of the GPL.
</p>
- <h3>General Platform Support</h3>
-
<p>
If you're running on a machine with audio hardware, you can
specify sound files for XEmacs to play instead of the default X
beep. See the documentation of the function load-sound-file and
the variable sound-alist. XEmacs also supports the network sound
- protocols NAS and EsounD.

Both Emacsen support the Quail family of input methods
(implemented in LISP) for many languages.

+ <p>
+ As of XEmacs 21.4, although XEmacs supports preloaded Lisp using
+ "unexec", it is considered obsolete. XEmacs 21.4 uses a much more

<h3>Window System Programming Interface</h3>

- XEmacs uses the MIT "Xt" toolkit instead of raw Xlib calls, which

XEmacs supports Motif applications, generic Xt (e.g. Athena)

supports GTK+ is available (integration as an option in the XEmacs
mainline is planned for XEmacs 22), although code to take
