Is this the progress gauge ? 24 years, 3 months

Didier Verna

Now that Athena3d doesn't crash my XEmacs anymore, I can see the progress gauge stuff, I think. Here's what I get under the modeline: Huh, it's *big* and there's text drawn in black on my dark background (my default face has a white foreground). Is there a way to make it smaller, somewhere else, or even to turn it off ? Is this looking normal ? Also, I have a problem with the Gnus picons network retreival: the progress gauge appears but never goes away. The picons are retreived and displayed normally.

Re: check process state before accessing coding_stream (fix PR#1061) 24 years, 3 months

It's not because of XEmacs' state with respect to translations, it's just that I prefer to use the C locale. Perhaps if _all_ my work environment was correctly localized, I would switch. However, this does not prevent me from working on translations when I have time. I've written the french tutorial and also translated the splash screen, although I almost never see it. -- / / _ _ Didier Verna http://www.inf.enst.fr/~verna/ - / / - / / /_/ / EPITA / LRDE mailto:didier＠epita.fr /_/ / /_/ / /__ / 14-16 rue Voltaire Tel. +33 (1) 44 08 01 77 94276 Kremlin-Bicêtre cedex Fax. +33 (1) 44 08 01 99

Gutter redisplay too agressive. 24 years, 3 months

Jan Vroonhof

I finally tracked down why the gutter is flashing all the time when using Gnus. The problem is that the Gnus mime code is full of (save-current-window (select-window w) ...)) and (save-window-excursion (select-window w) ..)) and these select-window's call record-buffer-hook which does the update tab stuff. This a. is unnecessary work (but that is probably a gnus problem). b. The gutter is redisplaying too soon. If it just waited until the save-window-excursiom is finished (like the rest of the redisplay does) there would not be any visible effect. Jan P.S. I don't know why the mime code is doing this.

Patch for event-msw.c crash (cygwin version) 24 years, 3 months

Dmitry Yaitskov

Hi, I can easily get assert (!badly_p); to fail in cygwin version on my machine (e.g. by running gnus and partly opening/closing the XEmacs window by some other window). From the code and my understanding of the select function it seems to me that that assert should never happen if the select works according to specs. Hence it looks like a bug in the cygwin's select implementation. The attached patch avoids the bug. It is ugly, but saves from crashes and should do no harm even if the bug gets fixed. The patch is against 21.2.b25 source. Thanks. -- Cheers, -Dima.

I'm very sceptical about working on X resources for anything, even for translations of the menubar. We have already too much control over too many features with the X resources. X resources are a not very good mechanism which, what's more, works only under X. The gettext'ization of the Lisp strings should be something generic, not depending on the platform your XEmacs frame is on. -- / / _ _ Didier Verna http://www.inf.enst.fr/~verna/ - / / - / / /_/ / EPITA / LRDE mailto:didier＠epita.fr /_/ / /_/ / /__ / 14-16 rue Voltaire Tel. +33 (1) 44 08 01 77 94276 Kremlin-Bicêtre cedex Fax. +33 (1) 44 08 01 99

I extracted the new ilisp package into ~/.xemacs/xemacs-packages/lisp/ilisp. However, when I run it, ilisp goes looking for where it came from via load-path, and my load-path doesn't include ~/.xemacs/xemacs-packages/lisp/ilisp. Thus, I was getting a mix of old and new ilisp files. Once I added that path to my load-path, my problems went away. I think ilisp 5.9.2 is OK. It works just fine for me. The question is how should ilisp go looking for where it was loaded from. It currently tries to find itself by looking at all the entries in load-path. Should it look in the package path first, and then fall back to load-path? Ray

I have done test builds of XEmacs21.1.8cvs+Max's patch on two systems: IRIX64 ruby 6.2 06101031 IP28 mips with gcc 2.7.2.3 IRIX truth 6.5 01221553 IP32 mips with MIPSpro 7.2.1 executive summary: everything works with the MIPSpro compiler but not with gcc. gory details: - the binary built on truth(6.5) works on ruby(6.2) - the gcc build has the old, well-known problem that temacs has an sbss section that is apparently not handled correctly by unexelfsgi.c (despite ChangeLog entries implying this) - I can get rid of the sbss section by adding '-G0' to the LDFLAGS and then get a perfectly fine xemacs with gcc. Actually all my production XEmacsen (21.1.4) were built this way on IRIX5.3. I have put the Installation files and the output of 'objdump --section-headers' at http://svr-www.eng.cam.ac.uk/~ge204/XEmacs/ Let me know if you want me to do more tests, whether all this is considered normal behaviour, where to start debugging, etc. I can also test on IRIX5.3 if necessary...

I guess I was not quite clear. The package was found in ~/.xemacs automagically. The problem was that ilisp wanted to find out where it was loaded from, so it grovels over load-path to find some ilisp file. Unfortunately, my load-path didn't include anything from my ~/.xemacs packages, so ilisp couldn't really find out where it was loaded from. Instead, it got it from my load-path which pointed to the "global" xemacs packages directory. (Hmm, why does my load-path have that?) Ray
