[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.

+	* extents.c (lispobj_gap_array_description_1): fix the memory
+	descriptions for the "gap", "offset_past_gap", and "els_past_gap"
+	members.  Before, they were incorrectly defined as "XD_INT"
+	objects.  They've been corrected to use "XD_ELEMCOUNT" and
+	"XD_BYTECOUNT", as that is how they are defined in the actual
+	Gap_Array declaration.  This is important on systems where
+	sizeof(int) != sizeof(long), such as some 64-bit systems.
