BASIC IDEA: Further fixing up uses of char * and CIbyte *
to reflect their actual semantics; Mule-izing some code;
redoing of the not-yet-working code to handle message translation.
Clean up code to handle message-translation (not yet working).
Create separate versions of build_msg_string() for working with
Ibyte *, CIbyte *, and Ascbyte * arguments. Assert that Ascbyte *
arguments are pure-ASCII. Make build_msg_string() be the same
as build_msg_ascstring(). Create same three versions of GETTEXT()
and DEFER_GETTEXT(). Also create build_defer_string() and
variants for the equivalent of DEFER_GETTEXT() when building a
string. Remove old CGETTEXT(). Clean up code where GETTEXT(),
DEFER_GETTEXT(), build_msg_string(), etc. was being called and
introduce some new calls to build_msg_string(), etc. Remove
GETTEXT() from calls to weird_doc() -- we assume that the
message snarfer knows about weird_doc(). Remove uses of
DEFER_GETTEXT() from error messages in sysdep.c and instead use
special comments /* @@@begin-snarf@@@ */ and /* @@@end-snarf@@@ */
that the message snarfer presumably knows about.
Create build_ascstring() and use it in many instances in place
of build_string(). The purpose of having Ascbyte * variants is
to make the code more self-documenting in terms of what sort of
semantics is expected for char * strings. In fact in the process
of looking for uses of build_string(), much improperly Mule-ized
was discovered.
Mule-ize a lot of code as described in previous paragraph,
e.g. in sysdep.c.
Make the error functions take Ascbyte * strings and fix up a
couple of places where non-pure-ASCII strings were being passed in
(file-coding.c, mule-coding.c, unicode.c). (It's debatable whether
we really need to make the error functions work this way. It
helps catch places where code is written in a way that message
translation won't work, but we may well never implement message
translation.)
Make staticpro() and friends take Ascbyte * strings instead of
raw char * strings. Create a const_Ascbyte_ptr dynarr type
to describe what's held by staticpro_names[] and friends,
create pdump descriptions for const_Ascbyte_ptr dynarrs, and
use them in place of specially-crafted staticpro descriptions.
Mule-ize certain other functions (e.g. x_event_name) by correcting
raw use of char * to Ascbyte *, Rawbyte * or another such type,
and raw use of char[] buffers to another type (usually Ascbyte[]).
Change many uses of write_c_string() to write_msg_string(),
write_ascstring(), etc.
Mule-ize emodules.c, emodules.h, sysdll.h.
Fix some un-Mule-ized code in intl-win32.c.
A comment in event-Xt.c and the limitations of the message
snarfer (make-msgfile or whatever) is presumably incorrect --
it should be smart enough to handle function calls spread over
more than one line. Clean up code in event-Xt.c that was
written awkwardly for this reason.
In config.h.in, instead of NEED_ERROR_CHECK_TYPES_INLINES,
create a more general XEMACS_DEFS_NEEDS_INLINE_DECLS to
indicate when inlined functions need to be declared in
xemacs.defs.in.in, and make use of it in xemacs.defs.in.in.
We need to do this because postgresql.c now calls qxestrdup(),
which is an inline function.
Make nconc2() and other such functions MODULE_API and put
them in xemacs.defs.in.in since postgresql.c now uses them.
Clean up indentation in lread.c and a few other places.
In text.h, document ASSERT_ASCTEXT_ASCII() and
ASSERT_ASCTEXT_ASCII_LEN(), group together the stand-in
encodings and add some more for DLL symbols, function and
variable names, etc.

| 652 | 1 The files in this directory contain source code for the core XEmacs |
| 2 facilities written in Emacs Lisp. *.el files are Elisp source, and | |
| 3 *.elc files are byte-compiled versions of the corresponding *.el | |
| 4 files. Byte-compiled files are architecture-independent. | |
| 5 | |
| 6 Functions used only by files in this directory are considered | |
| 7 "internal" and are subject to change at any time. All commands, and | |
| 8 most functions with docstrings, are part of the exported API. In | |
| 9 particular, it is considered good style to use the Common Lisp | |
| 10 facilities provided in cl*.el. (Yes, that's ambiguous. Sorry, we | |
| 11 don't have a full specification of the API, as the Lispref is | |
| 12 chronically incomplete. Anything described in the Lispref is part of | |
| 13 the API, of course.) | |
| 14 | |
| 15 Libraries which implement applications and enhancements are placed in | |
| 16 the "packages", which are distributed separately from the core | |
| 17 sources. | |
| 18 | |
| 19 #### Someone please update this. | |
| 20 #### Partially updated 2001-08-25 by sjt. Needs more work. Mike? | |
| 21 | |
| 22 When XEmacs starts up, it adds certain directories in various | |
| 23 hierarchies containing Lisp libraries to `load-path' (the list of | |
| 24 directories to be searched when loading files). These are: this | |
| 25 directory, its subdirectory ./mule (in Mule-enabled XEmacs only), the | |
| 26 site-lisp directory (deprecated), and all the lisp/PACKAGE | |
| 27 subdirectories of the xemacs-packages, mule-packages, and | |
| 28 site-packages hierarchies. See setup-paths.el. | |
| 29 | |
| 30 #### Is the following true or relevant any more? | |
| 31 bogus> Directories whose names begin with "-" or "." are not added to | |
| 32 bogus> the default load-path. | |
| 33 | |
| 34 Some files which you might reasonably want to alter when installing or | |
| 35 customizing XEmacs at your site are: | |
| 36 | |
| 37 paths.el You may need to change the default pathnames here, | |
| 38 but probably not. This is loaded before XEmacs is | |
| 39 dumped. | |
| 40 | |
| 41 site-init.el #### obsolete and removed? | |
| 42 To pre-load additional libraries into XEmacs and dump | |
| 43 them in the executable, load them from this file. | |
| 44 Read the instructions in this file for a description | |
| 45 of how to do this. | |
| 46 | |
| 47 site-load.el #### description is obsolete | |
| 48 This is like site-init.el, but if you want the | |
| 49 docstrings of your preloaded libraries to be kept in | |
| 50 the DOC file instead of in the executable, you should | |
| 51 load them from this file instead. To do this, you must | |
| 52 also cause them to be scanned when the DOC file is | |
| 53 generated by editing ../src/Makefile.in.in and | |
| 54 rerunning configure. | |
| 55 #### new semantics | |
| 56 This file will preload additional libraries listed in | |
| 57 ../site-packages and dump them into XEmacs. | |
| 58 | |
| 59 ../site-packages List of additional libraries read by site-load.el. | |
| 60 | |
| 61 site-start.el This is loaded each time XEmacs starts up, before the | |
| 62 user's .emacs file. (Sysadmin must create.) Can be | |
| 63 inhibited for a given invocation with `--no-site-file'. | |
| 64 | |
| 65 default.el This is loaded each time XEmacs starts up, after the | |
| 66 user's .emacs file, unless .emacs sets the variable | |
| 67 inhibit-default-init to t. (Sysadmin must create.) | |
| 68 Can be inhibited for a given invocation with `-q'. | |
| 69 | |
| 70 version.el This contains the version information for XEmacs. | |
| 71 | |
| 72 ======================================================================== | |
| 73 Original text follows: | |
| 74 | |
| 428 | 75 The files in this directory contain source code for the XEmacs |
| 76 facilities written in Emacs Lisp. *.el files are Elisp source, and | |
| 77 *.elc files are byte-compiled versions of the corresponding *.el | |
| 78 files. Byte-compiled files are architecture-independent. | |
| 79 | |
| 80 #### Someone please update this. | |
| 81 | |
| 82 bogus> When XEmacs starts up, it adds all subdirectories of the | |
| 83 bogus> site-lisp directory. The site-lisp directory normally exists | |
| 84 bogus> only in installation trees. For more information about the | |
| 85 bogus> site-lisp directory see the NEWS file. | |
| 86 | |
| 87 bogus> After XEmacs adds all subdirectories of the site-lisp | |
| 88 bogus> directory, it adds all subdirectories of this directory to the | |
| 89 bogus> load-path (the list of directories to be searched when loading | |
| 90 bogus> files.) To speed up this process, this directory has been | |
| 91 bogus> rearranged to have very few files at the top-level, so that | |
| 92 bogus> emacs doesn't have to stat() several hundred files to find the | |
| 93 bogus> dozen or so which are actually subdirectories. | |
| 94 | |
| 95 bogus> Directories whose names begin with "-" or "." are not added to | |
| 96 bogus> the default load-path. | |
| 97 | |
| 98 The only files which remain at top-level are those which you might | |
| 99 reasonably want to alter when installing or customizing XEmacs at your | |
| 100 site. The files which may appear at top level are: | |
| 101 | |
| 102 paths.el You may need to change the default pathnames here, | |
| 103 but probably not. This is loaded before XEmacs is | |
| 104 dumped. | |
| 105 | |
| 106 site-init.el To pre-load additional libraries into XEmacs and dump | |
| 107 them in the executable, load them from this file. | |
| 108 Read the instructions in this file for a description | |
| 109 of how to do this. | |
| 110 | |
| 111 site-load.el This is like site-init.el, but if you want the | |
| 112 docstrings of your preloaded libraries to be kept in | |
| 113 the DOC file instead of in the executable, you should | |
| 114 load them from this file instead. To do this, you must | |
| 115 also cause them to be scanned when the DOC file is | |
| 116 generated by editing ../src/Makefile.in.in and | |
| 117 rerunning configure. | |
| 118 | |
| 119 site-start.el This is loaded each time XEmacs starts up, before the | |
| 120 user's .emacs file. | |
| 121 | |
| 122 default.el This is loaded each time XEmacs starts up, after the | |
| 123 user's .emacs file, unless .emacs sets the variable | |
| 124 inhibit-default-init to t. | |
| 125 | |
| 126 version.el This contains the version information for XEmacs. |
