[xemacs-hg @ 2001-06-08 12:21:09 by ben] ------ gc-in-window-procedure fixes ------ alloc.c: Create "post-gc actions", to avoid those dreaded "GC during window procedure" problems. event-msw.c: Abort, clean and simple, when GC in window procedure. We want to flush these puppies out. glyphs-msw.c: Use a post-gc action when destroying subwindows. lisp.h: Declare register_post_gc_action(). scrollbar-msw.c: Use a post-gc action when unshowing scrollbar windows, if in gc. redisplay.c: Add comment about the utter evilness of what's going down here. ------ cygwin setitimer fixes ------ Makefile.in.in: Compile profile.c only when HAVE_SETITIMER. nt.c: Style fixes. nt.c: Move setitimer() emulation to win32.c, because Cygwin needs it too. profile.c: Make sure we don't compile if no setitimer(). Use qxe_setitimer() instead of just plain setitimer(). signal.c: Define qxe_setitimer() as an encapsulation around setitimer() -- call setitimer() directly unless Cygwin or MS Win, in which case we use our simulated version in win32.c. systime.h: Prototype mswindows_setitimer() and qxe_setitimer(). Long comment about "qxe" and the policy regarding encapsulation. win32.c: Move setitimer() emulation here, so Cygwin can use it. Rename a couple of functions and variables to be longer and more descriptive. In setitimer_helper_proc(), send the signal using either mswindows_raise() or (on Cygwin) kill(). If for some reason we are still getting lockups, we'll change the kill() to directly invoke the signal handlers. ------ windows shell fixes ------ callproc.c, ntproc.c: Comments about how these two files must die. callproc.c: On MS Windows, init shell-file-name from SHELL, then COMSPEC, not just COMSPEC. (more correct and closer to FSF.) Don't force a value for SHELL into the environment. (Comments added to explain why not.) nt.c: Don't shove a fabricated SHELL into the environment. See above. ------ misc fixes ------ glyphs-shared.c: Style correction. xemacs-faq.texi: Merge in the rest of Hrvoje's Windows FAQ. Redo section 7 to update current reality and add condensed versions of new changes for 21.1 and 21.4. (Not quite done for 21.4.) Lots more Windows updates. process.el: Need to quote a null argument, too. From Dan Holmsand. startup.el: startup.el: Call MS Windows init function. win32-native.el: Correct comments at top. Correctly handle passing arguments to Cygwin programs and to bash. Fix quoting of zero-length arguments (from Dan Holmsand). Set shell-command-switch based on shell-file-name, which in turn comes from env var SHELL.

This is the file .../info/dir, which contains the topmost node of the Info
hierarchy.  The first time you invoke Info you start off looking at that node,
which is (dir)Top.

Rather than adding new nodes to this directory (and this file) it is a better
idea to put them in a site-local directory, and then configure info to search
in that directory as well.  That way, you won't have to re-edit this file when
a new release of the editor comes out.

For example, you could add this code to .../lisp/site-start.el, which is
loaded before ~/.emacs each time the editor starts up:

  ;; find local info nodes
  (setq Info-directory-list
        (append Info-directory-list '("/private/info/")))

Then, when you enter info, a dir file like this one will be automatically
created and saved (provided you have write access to the directory).  The
contents of that file "/private/info/dir" will be appended to the contents of
this file.


File: dir	Node: Top	This is the top of the INFO tree

  This is Info, the online documentation browsing system.
  This page (the Directory node) gives a menu of major topics.

  button1 or button2 on a highlighted word follows that cross-reference.
  button3 anywhere brings up a menu of commands.
  ? lists additional keyboard commands.
  h invokes the Info tutorial.
