+ − 3 Priority:
+ − 4
+ − 5 1. Finish checking in current mule ws.
+ − 6 2. Start working on bugs reported by others and noticed by me:
+ − 7 -- problems cutting and pasting binary data, e.g. from byte-compiler instructions
+ − 8 -- test suite failures
+ − 9 -- process i/o problems w.r.t. eol: |uniq (e.g.) leaves ^M's at end of
+ − 10 line; running "bash" as shell-file-name doesn't work because it doesn't
+ − 11 like the extra ^M's.

788
+ − 15 bugs:
771
+ − 16
788
+ − 17 -- TTY-mode problem. When you start up in TTY mode, XEmacs goes through
+ − 18 the loadup process and appears to be working -- you see the startup
+ − 19 screen pulsing through the different screens, and it appears to be
+ − 20 listening (hitting a key stops the screen motion), but it's frozen --
+ − 21 the screen won't get off the startup, key commands don't cause anything
+ − 22 to happen. STATUS: In progress.
+ − 23
793
+ − 24 -- Memory ballooning in some cases. Not yet understood.
+ − 25
+ − 26 -- other test suite failures?
+ − 27
+ − 28 -- need to review the handling of sounds. seems that not everything is
+ − 29 documented, not everything is consistently used where it's supposed to,
+ − 30 some sounds are ugly, etc. add sounds to `completer' as well.
+ − 31
+ − 32 -- redo with-trapping-errors so that the backtrace is stored away and only
+ − 33 outputted when an error actually occurs (i.e. in the condition-case
+ − 34 handler). test. (use ding of various sorts as a helpful way of checking
+ − 35 out what's going on.)
+ − 36
+ − 37 -- problems with process input: |uniq (for example) leaves ^M's at end of
+ − 38 line.
+ − 39
800
+ − 40 -- carefully review looking up of fonts by charset, esp. wrt the last
+ − 41 element of a font spec.
+ − 42
+ − 43 -- add package support to ignore certain files -- *-util.el for languages.
+ − 44
+ − 45 -- review use of escape-quoted in auto_save_1() vs. the buffer's own coding
+ − 46 system.
+ − 47
801
+ − 48 -- figure out how to get the total amount of data memory (i.e. everything
+ − 49 but the code, or even including the code if can't distinguish) used by
+ − 50 the process on each different OS, and use it in a new algorithm for
+ − 51 triggering GC: trigger only when a certain % of the data size has been
+ − 52 consed up; in addition, have a minimum.
+ − 53
800
+ − 54 fixed bugs???
+ − 55
+ − 56 -- Occasional crash when freeing display structures. The problem seems to
+ − 57 be this: A window has a "display line dynarr"; each display line has a
+ − 58 "display block dynarr". Sometimes this display block dynarr is getting
+ − 59 freed twice. It appears from looking at the code that sometimes a
+ − 60 display line from somewhere in the dynarr gets added to the end -- hence
+ − 61 two pointers to the same display block dynarr. need to review this
+ − 62 code.

+ − 64 August 29, 2001.
771
+ − 65
+ − 66 This is the most current list of priorities in `ben-mule-21-5'.
+ − 67 Updated often.
+ − 68
+ − 69 high-priority:
+ − 70
+ − 71 [input]
+ − 72
+ − 73 -- support for WM_IME_CHAR. IME input can work under -nuni if we use
+ − 74 WM_IME_CHAR. probably we should always be using this, instead of
+ − 75 snarfing input using WM_COMPOSITION. i'll check this out.
+ − 76 -- Russian C-x problem. see above.
+ − 77
+ − 78 [clean-up]
+ − 79
+ − 80 -- make sure it compiles and runs under non-mule. remember that some
+ − 81 code needs the unicode support, or at least a simple version of it.
+ − 82 -- make sure it compiles and runs under pdump. see below.
+ − 83 -- make sure it compiles and runs under cygwin. see below.
+ − 84 -- clean up mswindows-multibyte, TSTR_TO_C_STRING. expand dfc
+ − 85 optimizations to work across chain.
+ − 86 -- eliminate last vestiges of codepage<->charset conversion and similar stuff.
+ − 87
+ − 88 [other]
+ − 89
+ − 90 -- test the "file-coding is binary only on Unix, no-Mule" stuff.
+ − 91 -- test that things work correctly in -nuni if the system environment
+ − 92 is set to e.g. japanese -- i should get japanese menus, japanese
+ − 93 file names, etc. same for russian, hebrew ...
+ − 94 -- cut and paste. see below.
+ − 95 -- misc issues with handling lang environments. see also August 25,
+ − 96 "finally: working on the C-x in ...".
+ − 97 -- when switching lang env, needs to set keyboard layout.
+ − 98 -- user var to control whether, when moving into text of a
+ − 99 particular language, we set the appropriate keyboard layout. we
+ − 100 would need to have a lisp api for retrieving and setting the
+ − 101 keyboard layout, set text properties to indicate the layout of
+ − 102 text, and have a way of dealing with text with no property on
+ − 103 it. (e.g. saved text has no text properties on it.) basically,
+ − 104 we need to get a keyboard layout from a charset; getting a
+ − 105 language would do. Perhaps we need a table that maps charsets
+ − 106 to language environments.
+ − 107 -- test that the lang env is properly set at startup. test that
+ − 108 switching the lang env properly sets the C locale (call
+ − 109 setlocale(), set LANG, etc.) -- a spawned subprogram should have
+ − 110 the new locale in its environment.
+ − 111 -- look through everything below and see if anything is missed in this
+ − 112 priority list, and if so add it. create a separate file for the
+ − 113 priority list, so it can be updated as appropriate.
+ − 114
+ − 115
+ − 116 mid-priority:
+ − 117
+ − 118 -- clean up the chain coding system. its list should specify decode
+ − 119 order, not encode; i now think this way is more logical. it should
+ − 120 check the endpoints to make sure they make sense. it should also
+ − 121 allow for the specification of "reverse-direction coding systems":
+ − 122 use the specified coding system, but invert the sense of decode and
+ − 123 encode.
+ − 124
+ − 125 -- along with that, places that take an arbitrary coding system and
+ − 126 expect the ends to be anything specific need to check this, and add
+ − 127 the appropriate conversions from byte->char or char->byte.
+ − 128
+ − 129 -- get some support for arabic, thai, vietnamese, japanese jisx 0212:
+ − 130 at least get the unicode information in place and make sure we have
+ − 131 things tied together so that we can display them. worry about r2l
+ − 132 some other time.
+ − 133
+ − 134 -- check the handling of C-c. can XEmacs itself be interrupted with C-c?
+ − 135 is that impossible now that we are a window, not a console, app? at
+ − 136 least we should work something out with `i', so that if it receives a
+ − 137 C-c or C-break, it interrupts XEmacs, too. check out how process groups
+ − 138 work and if they apply only to console apps. also redo the way that
+ − 139 XEmacs sends C-c to other apps. the business of injecting code should
+ − 140 be last resort. we should try C-c first, and if that doesn't work, then
+ − 141 the next time we try to interrupt the same process, use the injection
+ − 142 method.
