Fatal error: QUIT called from within redisplay without being properly wrapped
16 years, 4 months

Hi Gents,
I succeeded in triggering the following assertion:
Fatal error: assertion failed, file signal.c, line 730, QUIT called from within
redisplay without being properly wrapped
I saw this first when trying to switch from a shell buffer
which was receiving process output to another buffer
via buffers pulldown menu selection.
Later when experimenting I found that the assertion can
be triggered by just randomly (frantically) clicking on a menubar item
(i.e. just pulling the menu-pane down and up again
and not selecting any menuitem is sufficient).
The important thing is that a process buffer must be on
display getting filled at a relatively high rate.
When experimenting I used to create a shell process: M-x shell
and ran the following shell commands:
sh
while true; do sleep 0.001; echo 'good by!'; done
(The more bytes are echoed, the better. Just echoing 'good by!' makes reproducing
the effect impossible on my machine ?!)
Then just multi-clicking on the "Buffers" cascade-button triggers the assertion
within seconds.
This assertion is easily reproduced with optimized as well as debug versions,
with today's HEAD version, as well as with a CVS date-tagged version
"-D 2005-01-27", i.e. a version having received the above assertion-code
about one day before:
revision 1.29
date: 2005/01/26 10:33:42; author: ben; state: Exp; lines: +22 -156
Fix some race conditions in redisplay/signal
(...)
Seems that adding the assertion was a good thing, since at least one
bad race still seems to go on somewhere ...
Please find more details below,
happy debugging,
and a a happy new year!
Klaus

No sounds other than console beep; what's wrong?
16 years, 4 months
robert delius royar
robert delius royar
I do not know which CVS first exhibited this problem, but it first
showed up when I recompiled XEmacs 21.5.28b after upgrading to Mac OS X
10.5.1. The newest changelog in the tree is dated 2007-12-21, but
version.sh is no longer being updated in CVS.
I have included installation info at the end of this message.
I can no longer get XEmacs to play sounds through my (working) Enlighten
Sound Daemon (v 2.38). I have verified that ESD is working on the
system (launched at startup and plays through 127.0.0.1:16001). I
verified this by playing
/usr/local/share/xemacs/xemacs-packages/etc/sounds/boing.wav with
esdplay; I also verified that sound-extension-list is ".wav" and that
load-default-sounds reports "Loading sounds..." and "Loading
sounds...done".
However, no sounds play in XEmacs other than the system beep. And
device-sound-enabled-p returns nil.
nm xemacs shows
00156710 T _Fdevice_sound_enabled_p
00156a2c T _Fplay_sound
0015726c T _Fplay_sound_file
00156734 T _Fwait_for_sounds

00156944 T _syms_of_sound
00156780 T _vars_of_sound
which indicates that XEmacs is including the esd-specific functions.
One thing I wonder about is that Apple changed its designations for X
servers to be the form /tmp/launch-6randomchars/:0 from the older 0:0
format. I only mention this because some software has been reported to
have problems with this change.
What additional information could I supply to help track this down?

compare input methods: iso-accents-mode and quail
16 years, 4 months
Uwe Brauer
Uwe Brauer
Hello
I do not want to talk about coding systems but about input methods.
I will also presume the use an american keyboard. (Kubuntu 6.10)
I have not really used Mule on a regular base, so maybe what I am
going to ask sounds very basic.
On NoMule Xemacs I am used to iso-accents-mode which allows me to
generate latin1 characters such as "Spanish" and "German" characters
by typing 7bit ASCII code such as
'o --> ó
"a--> ä
Etc. I can restrict that only to Spanish or only to German.
(Although I did not want to talk a about coding these symbols are
later stored as unibyte 8859-1 chars.)
Two things I want to emphasize:
- I can toggle iso-accents-mode ON and OFF.
- I an iso-accentuate and iso-unaccentuate whole regions,
changing 8 bit to 7 bit and back.
In Mule, according to my understanding, the closest thing would be
using quail and there the "german-pre" and "spanish-pre" method (I
think one could still use iso-accents-mode but that is not my point
here.)
Now it seems
- I cannot toggle off these input methods.
- I cannot change the chars back to the 7bit ASCII, that is there
is not equivalent to iso-unaccentuate. I would find this
especially useful for the TeX-input we recently discussed.
Would it be possible to implement these two properties for quail?
thanks

"Plan"? No plan yet. The "batteries included" distribution (core +
packages) is an old ambition of Martin's, to tell the truth, and I see
it as a really easy way to make it easier for new users to get into
XEmacs.
The general idea is that the standard-library would be the stuff that
is documented in the Lispref but written in Lisp. I'd like to see
advances in font-lock and things like that be available to 21.4 users.
But I haven't thought carefully about how to make it work (thus
gaffes like "oh, go ahead and use functions that won't be available at
runtime, it'll just work...." :-P ).

The potential problem is that we don't have a good way to inform users
that they need Version X.Y of xemacs-base. If putting
runtime-future.el into xemacs-base was a good solution, I don't see
why we'd need a separate compile-time version.
Also, if you put it into xemacs-base, it gets compiled. The inability
to run uncompiled macros from bytecode means that in principle every
version of XEmacs needs a different compiled version of xemacs-base.
The history of the APEL package shows that this is a practical
problem, too.
The real solution is to have a standard-library package (or package
suite) which is shared between all reasonably recent XEmacs versions.
(This is the real long-term motivation for the "bundled-packages"
work.) Versions of XEmacs without C support for certain features
would have to do without, or perhaps use inefficient Lisp versions.

You can fuck around with (a technical term, meaning, in standard English,
"fuck around with") #'set-face-font and the TAG-SET argument, perhaps using
#'define-specifier-tag as well, and it might be possible with your
particular X server and font path and available fonts, to tell the Mule
redisplay to use a font that's the same size as the Roman font. I believe
Stephen either managed it regularly or didn't care about Greek. I didn't
manage it without an order of magnitude more experimentation than was
sensible, which is why I wrote that patch.

I would need to go back and look through my mail archives to remember what
the details of the problem were. Not tonight, sorry.

I understand. I've changed the UTF-8 coding system to preserve invalid UTF-8
sequences on decoding and encoding, so any Latin-1 file loaded as UTF-8 and
written as such won't be corrupted--see
http://mid.gmane.org/18100.56639.409193.189959＠parhasard.net . This is also
true of the other Unicode coding systems.
(I want to add some display table magic to display invalid UTF-8 octets as
the corresponding Latin-1 characters, but in a different face; that’s in
progress, but I don’t have an ETA.)

What are his priorities?

No, you’re not. Stephen’s an ass, he knows many, perhaps most of the
non-XEmacs-internal package maintainer addresses don’t work, and he removed
my CVS access to the packages. I suppose you’ve heard from Robert
Widhopf-Fenk independent of the rest of us, Stephen?

That introduces new package dependencies, something I’m not in a hurry to do
given how much Mike Sperber fucked up the package build last time he did
so. (And he still hasn’t fixed it!) The Gnus folk will probably approach the
thing differently anyway, and define a mm-put-display-table, but that is
their decision.

Eye candy. (Don’t discount it as a factor to attract new users; I’m
impressed by how many Aquamacs users there are, and would really like to
leech that code. Not that we’ll get that many of them.)
Beyond that, the Carbon support for displaying non-ASCII characters is
really good, much better than any other platform we support. And
cut-and-paste with other OS X apps works consistently, whereas it is
unreliably inconsistent with the X11 build.
Also, it should be possible to implement drag and drop interoperability with
native OS X apps, something important for Mac users. Though it’s not yet
available.
