[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 directory contains a number of sample Emacs dynamic modules.
These modules can be loaded with the command 'M-x load-module'.

To compile one of these modules, simply enter the desired directory
and type 'make'. Then, from within Emacs, load the module by
specifying the path to the directory which contains the compiled
module.

Each of these samples describes different features and limitations
of the Emacs module loading technology. Please refer to the README
files in each directory for a brief discussion on what the sample
in that directory is demonstrating.  For a complete discussion on
Emacs dynamic modules, please consult the Emacs Module Writers Guide,
which can be found in the ../info directory.

NOTE: As this technology matures, this directory will eventually contain
large parts of XEmacs itself, which will be loaded in as required.
