[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.

This file is not meant to be proper documentation. See the file gnuserv.1 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.
