[xemacs-hg @ 2003-03-02 02:18:05 by ben] To: xemacs-patches@xemacs.org PROBLEMS: Include nt/PROBLEMS and update. Add note about incremental linking badness. cmdloop.el, custom.el, dumped-lisp.el, files.el, keydefs.el, keymap.el, lisp-mode.el, make-docfile.el, replace.el, simple.el, subr.el, view-less.el, wid-edit.el: Lots of syncing with FSF 21.2. Use if-fboundp in wid-edit.el. New file newcomment.el from FSF. internals/internals.texi: Fix typo. (Build-Time Dependencies): New node. PROBLEMS: Delete. config.inc.samp, xemacs.mak: Eliminate HAVE_VC6, use SUPPORT_EDIT_AND_CONTINUE in its place. No incremental linking unless SUPPORT_EDIT_AND_CONTINUE, since it can cause nasty crashes in pdump. Put warnings about this in config.inc.samp. Report the full compile flags used for src and lib-src in the Installation output. alloc.c, lisp.h, ralloc.c, regex.c: Use ALLOCA() in regex.c to avoid excessive stack allocation. Also fix subtle problem with REL_ALLOC() -- any call to malloc() (direct or indirect) may relocate rel-alloced data, causing buffer text to shift. After any such call, regex must update all its pointers to such data. Add a system, when ERROR_CHECK_MALLOC, whereby regex.c indicates all the places it is prepared to handle malloc()/realloc()/free(), and any calls anywhere in XEmacs outside of this will trigger an abort. alloc.c, dialog-msw.c, eval.c, event-stream.c, general-slots.h, insdel.c, lisp.h, menubar-msw.c, menubar-x.c: Change *run_hook*_trapping_problems to take a warning class, not a string. Factor out code to issue warnings, add flag to call_trapping_problems() to postpone warning issue, and make *run_hook*_trapping_problems issue their own warnings tailored to the hook, postponed in the case of safe_run_hook_trapping_problems() so that the appropriate message can be issued about resetting to nil only when not `quit'. Make record_unwind_protect_restoring_int() non-static. dumper.c: Issue notes about incremental linking problems under Windows. fileio.c: Mule-ize encrypt/decrypt-string code. text.h: Spacing changes.

CHANGES-msw

This file briefly describes all mswindows-specific changes to XEmacs
in the OXYMORON series of releases. The mswindows release branch
contains additional changes on top of the mainline XEmacs
release. These changes are deemed necessary for XEmacs to be fully
functional under mswindows. It is not intended that these changes
cause problems on UNIX systems, but they have not been tested on UNIX
platforms. Caveat Emptor.
