Cleanups/renaming of EXTERNAL_TO_C_STRING and friends -------------------- ChangeLog entries follow: -------------------- modules/ChangeLog addition: 2010-02-05 Ben Wing <ben@xemacs.org> * postgresql/postgresql.c: * postgresql/postgresql.c (CHECK_LIVE_CONNECTION): * postgresql/postgresql.c (Fpq_connectdb): * postgresql/postgresql.c (Fpq_connect_start): * postgresql/postgresql.c (Fpq_lo_import): * postgresql/postgresql.c (Fpq_lo_export): * ldap/eldap.c (Fldap_open): * ldap/eldap.c (Fldap_search_basic): * ldap/eldap.c (Fldap_add): * ldap/eldap.c (Fldap_modify): * ldap/eldap.c (Fldap_delete): * canna/canna_api.c (Fcanna_initialize): * canna/canna_api.c (Fcanna_store_yomi): * canna/canna_api.c (Fcanna_parse): * canna/canna_api.c (Fcanna_henkan_begin): EXTERNAL_TO_C_STRING returns its argument instead of storing it in a parameter, and is renamed to EXTERNAL_TO_ITEXT. Similar things happen to related macros. See entry in src/ChangeLog. More Mule-izing of postgresql.c. Extract out common code between `pq-connectdb' and `pq-connect-start'. Fix places that signal an error string using a formatted string to instead follow the standard and have a fixed reason followed by the particular error message stored as one of the frobs.

win32.c (mswindows_read_link_1): Changes involving external/internal format conversion, mostly code cleanup and renaming. 1. Eliminate the previous macros like LISP_STRING_TO_EXTERNAL that stored its result in a parameter. The new version of LISP_STRING_TO_EXTERNAL returns its result through the return value, same as the previous NEW_LISP_STRING_TO_EXTERNAL. Use the new-style macros throughout the code. 2. Rename C_STRING_TO_EXTERNAL and friends to ITEXT_TO_EXTERNAL, in keeping with overall naming rationalization involving Itext and related types. Macros involved in previous two: EXTERNAL_TO_C_STRING -> EXTERNAL_TO_ITEXT EXTERNAL_TO_C_STRING_MALLOC -> EXTERNAL_TO_ITEXT_MALLOC SIZED_EXTERNAL_TO_C_STRING -> SIZED_EXTERNAL_TO_ITEXT SIZED_EXTERNAL_TO_C_STRING_MALLOC -> SIZED_EXTERNAL_TO_ITEXT_MALLOC C_STRING_TO_EXTERNAL -> ITEXT_TO_EXTERNAL C_STRING_TO_EXTERNAL_MALLOC -> ITEXT_TO_EXTERNAL_MALLOC LISP_STRING_TO_EXTERNAL LISP_STRING_TO_EXTERNAL_MALLOC LISP_STRING_TO_TSTR C_STRING_TO_TSTR -> ITEXT_TO_TSTR TSTR_TO_C_STRING -> TSTR_TO_ITEXT The following four still return their values through parameters, since they have more than one value to return: C_STRING_TO_SIZED_EXTERNAL -> ITEXT_TO_SIZED_EXTERNAL LISP_STRING_TO_SIZED_EXTERNAL C_STRING_TO_SIZED_EXTERNAL_MALLOC -> ITEXT_TO_SIZED_EXTERNAL_MALLOC LISP_STRING_TO_SIZED_EXTERNAL_MALLOC Sometimes additional casts had to be inserted, since the old macros played strange games and completely defeated the type system of the store params. 3. Rewrite many places where direct calls to TO_EXTERNAL_FORMAT occurred with calls to one of the convenience macros listed above, or to make_extstring(). 4. Eliminate SIZED_C_STRING macros (they were hardly used, anyway) and use a direct call to TO_EXTERNAL_FORMAT or TO_INTERNAL_FORMAT. 4. Use LISP_PATHNAME_CONVERT_OUT in many places instead of something like LISP_STRING_TO_EXTERNAL(..., Qfile_name). 5. Eliminate some temporary variables that are no longer necessary now that we return a value rather than storing it into a variable. 6. Some Mule-izing in database.c. 7. Error functions: -- A bit of code cleanup in maybe_signal_error_1. -- Eliminate report_file_type_error; it's just an alias for signal_error_2 with params in a different order. -- Fix some places in the hostname-handling code that directly inserted externally-retrieved error strings into the supposed ASCII "reason" param instead of doing the right thing and sticking text descriptive of what was going on in "reason" and putting the external message in a frob. 8. Use Ascbyte instead of CIbyte in process-unix.c and maybe one or two other places. 9. Some code cleanup in copy_in_passwd() in sysdep.c. 10. Fix a real bug due to accidental variable shadowing in tstr_to_local_file_format() in win32.c.

Introduction

Thank you for downloading XEmacs.  We of the XEmacs development team
believe user satisfaction is our number one priority, and we hope that
you will be pleased with the power of our editor.  Please follow all
of the instructions in order to enjoy a quick and easy installation.


Getting Started

In this guide, information which you will need to supply will be enclosed in
angle brackets, <like this>.  Commands which you will have to enter will be
indented,

	like this.

You will need to provide a loading directory, in which to load the
material from tape (/tmp/xemacs is recommended), and a permanent
installation directory (/usr/local/xemacs is recommended).


Loading From Tape

First create and change directory to the loading directory:

	mkdir <working directory>
	cd <working directory>

Now you are ready to load the software from tape.

The specific device name needed to load the tape varies with hardware vendors,
and may be found in Appendix A, "Vendors and Device Names".

Load the software from tape:

	tar xvf /dev/<device name>

You have now loaded all of the software from tape, and are ready to compile and
install the XEmacs Text Editor.


Compiling and Installing the XEmacs Editor

Compiling and installing the libraries is handled by a user-friendly shell
script.  You will need to provide some information to the script, such as your
organization name and registration number.  To run the script, type

	/bin/sh xemacs/xemacs.install -d <installation directory>

Follow the script's directions, and provide the information which it prompts
for.

When the script prompts you for the directory in which the distribution files
are located, you will find that you are unable to provide it with any directory
which the script will deem satisfactory.  That is because it is necessary to
order the following additional parts which are necessary to continue with the
installation:

	Part Number	Qty	Name				Price

	GM-96-3026	1	Goat, male			 1000.00
	CB-13-2395	1	Candle, black			   50.00
	CG-63-6376	1	Chalk dust container		   10.00
	IB-89-3335	5	Incense sticks			    5.00
	DE-44-8846	1	Dagger, ebon, curved		  500.00
	AS-87-2319	1	Altar, silver			10000.00

Wait until the additional parts arrive; you will be ready to continue the
installation the next Friday the 13th at midnight.


Ritual for Successfully Completing Installation

Stand in front of the computer.  Pour out the chalk dust in an inscribed
pentagram around you; be sure that it is without breaks.  Set an incense stick
at each of the five corners, the altar in front of the computer, and the candle
in front of the altar.

Light each of the incense sticks and the candles, chanting in a low voice:

	Daemons and spirits of the netherworld
	Forces of all that is chaotic and mysterious
	Essence of Netscape and MicroSoft

	I am coming here to appease you
	I offer you this goat
	That my software may work

	I bind you here
	Do not make my system crash
	Let the software install as advertised

Place the goat on the altar, and slaughter it with the dagger.

	May this goat feed you
	Sate your lust for blood
	Into it may your mischief fly
	Not my computer
	Make the software work
	For this is the only way

Then spit into the computer's ventilation slots.  This will complete different
circuits inside the computer, causing its motherboard and cards to function in
ways that the engineers never intended, thereby making your system compatible
with our libraries.

Reboot your computer.  The installation is now complete.
