annotate README.ben-separate-stderr @ 2881:0e0af7cbfd1b
[xemacs-hg @ 2005-08-01 16:28:18 by darrylo]
On some (64-bit) systems, sizeof(int) != sizeof(long), and this can
cause crashes because in-use lisp objects can get prematurely gc'd (and
0xdeadbeef'd). This occurs because the memory_description for the
Gap_Array structure incorrectly describes some members as XD_INT's
(32-bit objects), when they should actually be XD_ELEMCOUNT's and
XD_BYTECOUNT's (both 64-bit objects), as that is how they are declared
in the structure.

|
|
|
3 this is an old workspace, very close to being done, containing
|
|
|
4
|
|
|
5 - subprocess stderr output can be read separately; needed to fully
|
|
|
6 implement call-process with asynch. subprocesses.
|
|
|
7
|
|
|
8 - huge improvements to the internal error-trapping routines (i.e. the
|
|
|
9 routines that call Lisp code and trap errors); Lisp code can now be
|
|
|
10 called from within redisplay.
|
|
|
11
|
|
|
12 - cleanup and simplification of C-g handling; some things work now
|
|
|
13 that never used to.

15 - see the ChangeLogs in the workspace.
