Redo memory-usage mechanism, make it general; add way of dynamically
initializing Lisp object types -- OBJECT_HAS_METHOD(), similar to
CONSOLE_HAS_METHOD().
(1) Create OBJECT_HAS_METHOD(), OBJECT_HAS_PROPERTY() etc. for
specifying that a Lisp object type has a particular method or
property. Call such methods with OBJECT_METH, MAYBE_OBJECT_METH,
OBJECT_METH_OR_GIVEN; retrieve properties with OBJECT_PROPERTY.
Methods that formerly required a DEFINE_*GENERAL_LISP_OBJECT() to
specify them (getprop, putprop, remprop, plist, disksave) now
instead use the dynamic-method mechanism. The main benefit of
this is that new methods or properties can be added without
requiring that the declaration statements of all existing methods
be modified. We have to make the `struct lrecord_implementation'
non-const, but I don't think this should have any effect on speed --
the only possible method that's really speed-critical is the
mark method, and we already extract those out into a separate
(non-const) array for increased cache locality.
Object methods need to be reinitialized after pdump, so we put
them in separate functions such as face_objects_create(),
extent_objects_create() and call them appropriately from emacs.c
The only current object property (`memusage_stats_list') that
objects can specify is a Lisp object and gets staticpro()ed so it
only needs to be set during dump time, but because it references
symbols that might not exist in a syms_of_() function, we
initialize it in vars_of_(). There is also an object property
(`num_extra_memusage_stats') that is automatically initialized based
on `memusage_stats_list'; we do that in reinit_vars_of_alloc(),
which is called after all vars_of_() functions are called.
`disksaver' method was renamed `disksave' to correspond with the
name normally given to the function (e.g. disksave_lstream()).
(2) Generalize the memory-usage mechanism in `buffer-memory-usage',
`window-memory-usage', `charset-memory-usage' into an object-type-
specific mechanism called by a single function
`object-memory-usage'. (Former function `object-memory-usage'
renamed to `total-object-memory-usage'). Generalize the mechanism
of different "slices" so that we can have different "classes" of
memory described and different "slices" onto each class; `t'
separates classes, `nil' separates slices. Currently we have
three classes defined: the memory of an object itself,
non-Lisp-object memory associated with the object (e.g. arrays or
dynarrs stored as fields in the object), and Lisp-object memory
associated with the object (other internal Lisp objects stored in
the object). This isn't completely finished yet and we might need
to further separate the "other internal Lisp objects" class into
two classes.
The memory-usage mechanism uses a `struct usage_stats' (renamed
from `struct overhead_stats') to describe a malloc-view onto a set
of allocated memory (listing how much was requested and various
types of overhead) and a more general `struct generic_usage_stats'
(with a `struct usage_stats' in it) to hold all statistics about
object memory. `struct generic_usage_stats' contains an array of
32 Bytecounts, which are statistics of unspecified semantics. The
intention is that individual types declare a corresponding struct
(e.g. `struct window_stats') with the same structure but with
specific fields in place of the array, corresponding to specific
statistics. The number of such statistics is an object property
computed from the list of tags (Lisp symbols describing the
statistics) stored in `memusage_stats_list'. The idea here is to
allow particular object types to customize the number and
semantics of the statistics where completely avoiding consing.
This doesn't matter so much yet, but the intention is to have the
memory usage of all objects computed at the end of GC, at the same
time as other statistics are currently computed. The values for
all statistics for a single type would be added up to compute
aggregate values for all objects of a specific type. To make this
efficient, we can't allow any memory allocation at all.
(3) Create some additional functions for creating lists that
specify the elements directly as args rather than indirectly through
an array: listn() (number of args given), listu() (list terminated
by Qunbound).
(4) Delete a bit of remaining unused C window_config stuff, also
unused lrecord_type_popup_data.

**** WARNING **** This file was never meant to be proper documentation, and now is bitrotted. See the file gnuserv.1 and/or the sources for more information. **** NOTE: This version of gnuserv has some enhancements over the original version distributed by Andy Norman. See the end of this file for more details. **** To install, copy gnuserv.el into a directory on your GNU Emacs load-path. Edit Makefile and change INCLUDES to point to the src directory underneath your emacs source tree (or make yourself a config.h file in this directory by hand, starting with config.h.proto as a first cut) and type: make This should compile the server and the two clients. Now put gnuserv, gnuclient and gnudoit in a directory that users have in their executable search paths. File : Description ---------------------------------------------------------------- Makefile : Makefile to build gnuserv LICENSE : GNU General License README : this file gnuclient.c : editor client C code gnudoit.c : eval client C code gnuserv.1 : gnuserv man page gnuserv.c : server C code gnuserv.el : server LISP code for GNU Emacs V18,V19, XEmacs/Lucid Emacs and Epoch V4 gnuserv.h : server/client C header file gnuslib.c : server/client C common code src.x11fns.diff : diffs to src/x11fns to raise window (for emacs18) config.h.proto : Use this file as the starting point for constructing a config.h if you don't have access to the one that was used when compiling your emacs. If you find *any* problems at all with gnuserv, or you can think of better ways of doing things (especially remote file access), please e-mail me at one of the addresses below. ange@hplb.hpl.hp.com ange@hpl.hp.co.uk ...!hplabs!hplb!ange ...!ukc!hplb!ange This version of gnuserv has been enhanced by a number of people, including Bob Weiner <weiner@mot.com>, Darrell Kindred <dkindred@cmu.edu>, Arup Mukherjee <arup@cmu.edu>, and Ben Wing <ben@xemacs.org>. The modifications are basically as follows: Bob Weiner: Integrated support for several versions of emacs. New requests from gnuclient cause the creation of new frames. Removed the restriction on the length of the string passed to gnudoit. Later added a server-done-function variable to control what happens to a buffer after the user is done with it. Mods to each of the .c files as well as gnuserv.el. Darrell Kindred: Removed the restriction on the length of the string returned from a gnudoit request, for the purposes of unix/internet sockets. Allow the gnudoit request to be read from stdin if it's not specified on the command line. Internet sockets are not opened unless the GNU_SECURE variable is specified. Unix sockets are created in a protected ancestral directory, since many Unix variants don't enforce socket permissions properly. An internet socket accepting local connections is not opened by default because this would make it possibly to override all security on the unix socket. See the man page for details. Unless told to do otherwise by a command-line argument, gnuclient and gnudoit now try to open a unix socket by default if support for them was compiled in. Mods to each of the .c files and to gnuserv.el. Arup Mukherjee: Removed the restriction on the length of the string returned from a gnudoit request, for the purposes of sysv ipc. Added support for the "gnuserv-frame" variable allowing you to specify control whether or not new screens are created in response to each gnuclient request. Made a number of other bugfixes and changes to the lisp part of the code, allowing gnuserv to work properly with newer emacs versions. All the changes are listed in the changelog at the beginning of gnuserv.el. Also fixed up the man page to reflect the new gnuserv features. On HPs, stopped the "-r" parameter (in gnuclient) from defaulting to /net/<remotehost>. Not all installations want this, and it's much harder to debug when things stop working. Changed the man page to reflect this. Mods to each of the .c files, gnuserv.el and gnuserv.1 More recently - added Xauth(1X11)-style authentication to gnuserv (as of version 2.1). Although the code is completely new, credit is due to Richard Caley <rjc@cogsci.edinburgh.ac.uk> ... he wrote a prototype implementation from which I borrowed the basic mechanism for hooking Xauth into gnuserv. Ben Wing: Added gnuattach.
