[Failure] xemacs-21.0-b41 memory faults on Digital UNIX 4.0 27 years, 1 month

Kevin Oberman

This should come as no surprise, but 21.0-b41 still dumps core (as did b40) when built on DU4.0D with CDE. I compiled with both gcc 2.8.1. and cc and configured with --use-union-type. Both fail in the same manner. cc build went fine except for frame.c for which the compiler reported an internal error. (I built frame with gcc.) With gcc, when I tried to compile with the default -O3, things went very badly with pages and pages of warnings about incorrect data types. Building -O2 fixed these. There were still several warnings about pointer to integer casts: gcc -c -g -O2 -Demacs -I. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I/usr/local/include -D_BSD -I/usr/dt/include event-unixoid.c event-unixoid.c: In function `event_stream_unixoid_create_stream_pair': event-unixoid.c:287: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size event-unixoid.c:288: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size gcc -c -g -O2 -Demacs -I. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I/usr/local/include -D_BSD -I/usr/dt/include process-unix.c process-unix.c: In function `connect_to_file_descriptor': process-unix.c:189: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size process-unix.c: In function `unix_init_process_io_handles': process-unix.c:703: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size process-unix.c: In function `unix_create_process': process-unix.c:777: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size process-unix.c:777: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size process-unix.c: In function `unix_open_network_stream': process-unix.c:1542: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size process-unix.c:1543: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size process-unix.c: In function `unix_open_multicast_group': process-unix.c:1703: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size process-unix.c:1704: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size gcc -c -g -O2 -Demacs -I. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I/usr/local/include -D_BSD -I/usr/dt/include process.c process.c: In function `get_process_from_usid': process.c:215: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size process.c: In function `init_process_io_handles': process.c:479: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size process.c: In function `deactivate_process': process.c:1854: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size The only other warnings with an -O2 build were: gcc -c -g -O2 -Demacs -I. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I/usr/local/include -D_BSD -I/usr/dt/include sysdep.c sysdep.c: In function `child_setup_tty': sysdep.c:457: warning: large integer implicitly truncated to unsigned type sysdep.c:458: warning: large integer implicitly truncated to unsigned type sysdep.c:491: warning: large integer implicitly truncated to unsigned type sysdep.c: In function `tty_init_sys_modes_on_device': sysdep.c:1553: warning: large integer implicitly truncated to unsigned type sysdep.c:1554: warning: large integer implicitly truncated to unsigned type sysdep.c:1567: warning: large integer implicitly truncated to unsigned type sysdep.c:1573: warning: large integer implicitly truncated to unsigned type sysdep.c:1576: warning: large integer implicitly truncated to unsigned type sysdep.c:1579: warning: large integer implicitly truncated to unsigned type sysdep.c:1582: warning: large integer implicitly truncated to unsigned type sysdep.c:1585: warning: large integer implicitly truncated to unsigned type sysdep.c:1588: warning: large integer implicitly truncated to unsigned type sysdep.c:1594: warning: large integer implicitly truncated to unsigned type But I ended up with: Dumping under the name xemacs Purespace usage: 1045960 of 1045960 (100%).

For init and options, ok, this is worth discussing.

I tend to agree with Jan on this. Maybe we shouldn't use a .xemacs/init.el. We pretend emacs is a generic term, so let's stick to .emacs. But for custom, I'd really like a separate file, and there's one thing I hate, it's to add yet another .bullshit hidden file in my home dir.

Re: 21.0 beta41, cygwin32, ~init-file-user doesn't work. 27 years, 1 month

Rick Rankin

NT Emacs gets a number of values from the registry, e.g., initial font, geometry, etc. HOME could be included. I've seen code in XEmacs for reading the registry, so it seems that not all that much would have to be done. I'm not fond of the registry itself, but it's where Windows wants to store configuration settings. Right now, I'm using Kirill's "evilhack" method for setting initial font and geometry info. While this works, it's not very general. Or, has the registry already been discussed and dismissed? Rick -----Original Message----- From: Paul Stodghill <stodghil(a)CS.Cornell.EDU> To: Kirill M.

Brief instructions for compiling XEmacs under Cygwin32 27 years, 1 month

Paul Stodghill

I have put very terse instructions for compiling XEmacs under Cygwin32 at http://www.cs.cornell.edu/stodghil/xemacs-cygwin32/xemacs-cygwin32.html This note includes, o URL's for where to obtain Cygwin32 and its patches, X11, etc. o Instructions and pointers for obtaining the XEmacs source. o Discussion of several of the problems that I encountered along the way. I assume that the reader is already familar with installing GNU'ish packages under UNIX. This note is meant to complement, not compete with, Hrvoje Niksic's `XEmacs on Windows FAQ'. Questions or comments to me. Thanks. -- Paul Stodghill <stodghil(a)cs.cornell.edu> http://www.cs.cornell.edu/stodghil/
