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
|
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.

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.

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.
