I meant "are you sure about it crashing in report_extent_modification_mapper?". I am fairly sure it already crashes before we get that far (i.e. in the buftos to bytind conversions in map_entent).

Uploaded vhdl 3.30 as xemacs-package 24 years, 5 months

Andreas Jaeger

I've uploaded vhdl 3.30 as xemacs-packages to ftp.xemacs.org/xemacs/beta/incoming. The package has the name: vhdl-1.10-pkg.tar.gz Please give it (and also the other packages) some testing before I make it official.

Free Software for all... ...unless you happen to be on his shitlist? I am not going to quote RMS's email but what he said basically comes done to: - Lucid released code from an unreleased GNU Emacs - he considers XEmacs and FSF Emacs to be rivals - we can use his code, but he can't use ours maybe this also illustrates why the FSFmacs-XEmacs merge is not going to happen anytime soon...

Memory leaks in 21.2 when using menubar 24 years, 5 months

Martin Buchholz

Andy, I think this is your area. Could you look at this? Popping up menu items on the menubar creates many memory leaks like this: * This memory was allocated from: malloc [rtlib.o] xmalloc [alloc.c:280] xstrdup [alloc.c:376] button_item_to_widget_value [gui-x.c:343] menu_item_descriptor_to_widget_value_1 [menubar-x.c:137] menu_item_descriptor_to_widget_value_1 [menubar-x.c:304] menu_item_descriptor_to_widget_value_1 [menubar-x.c:304] menu_item_descriptor_to_widget_value_1 [menubar-x.c:304] menu_item_descriptor_to_widget_value [menubar-x.c:352] compute_menubar_data [menubar-x.c:528] set_frame_menubar [menubar-x.c:571] x_initialize_frame_menubar [menubar-x.c:631] x_create_widgets [frame-x.c:1989] x_init_frame_1 [frame-x.c:2176] Fmake_frame [frame.c:389] Ffuncall [eval.c:3178] execute_optimized_program [bytecode.c:743] funcall_compiled_function [bytecode.c:519] Ffuncall [eval.c:3210] execute_optimized_program [bytecode.c:743] funcall_compiled_function [bytecode.c:519] Ffuncall [eval.c:3210] execute_optimized_program [bytecode.c:743] funcall_compiled_function [bytecode.c:519] Feval [eval.c:3034] condition_case_1 [eval.c:1630] top_level_1 [cmdloop.c:202] internal_catch [eval.c:1305] initial_command_loop [cmdloop.c:281] xemacs_21_2_b23_sparc_sun_solaris2_6 [emacs.c:1898] main [emacs.c:2323] _start [crt1.o]

``xemacs-21.2-b23'' 24 years, 5 months

Martin Buchholz

Somewhere along the line we renamed the 21.2 tarballs from xemacs-21.2-b3.tar.gz to xemacs-21.2.16.tar.gz Is the current naming convention documented? Is it a bug that xemacs is still *installed* into directories with names like xemacs-21.2-b23 ??

Shenghuo ZHU <zsh(a)cs.rochester.edu> writes: > The attached file can be compiled in Emacs 20.5 but not in XEmacs > 21.2.23. Any ideas? Idea: the code is broken. The (function NAME) special form is supposed to return the lexically apparent function definition of NAME, where NAME may be a symbol or a lambda expression. In Emacs, this boils down to just returning NAME unevaluated. What you're trying to do is, when you strip read-time syntactic sugar, the following: (function (backquote (lambda (arg2) (\, arg1)))) Obviously, the argument to FUNCTION is neither a symbol nor a lambda expression. The interpreter groks it because `function' is exactly the same as `quote'. The compiler needs to do more analysis, which is why it gets to complain more. What you want to do is: (defun test-func (arg1) `(lambda (arg2) ;; code here ,arg1)) The problem here is that the `;; code here' part will not be compiled. If you don't have compunctions about using CL-isms, you can do this: (defun test-func (arg1) (lexical-let ((arg1 arg1)) (lambda (arg2) ;; code here, does get compiled. arg1))) When elisp becomes lexically scoped, the `lexical-let' part will not be necessary.
