implement equalp in C, fix case-folding, add equal() method for keymaps -------------------- ChangeLog entries follow: -------------------- lisp/ChangeLog addition: 2010-02-01 Ben Wing <ben@xemacs.org> * cl-extra.el: * cl-extra.el (cl-string-vector-equalp): Removed. * cl-extra.el (cl-bit-vector-vector-equalp): Removed. * cl-extra.el (cl-vector-array-equalp): Removed. * cl-extra.el (cl-hash-table-contents-equalp): Removed. * cl-extra.el (equalp): Removed. * cl-extra.el (cl-mapcar-many): Comment out the whole `equalp' implementation for the moment; remove once we're sure the C implementation works. * cl-macs.el: * cl-macs.el (equalp): Simplify the compiler-macro for `equalp' -- once it's in C, we don't need to try so hard to expand it. src/ChangeLog addition: 2010-02-01 Ben Wing <ben@xemacs.org> * abbrev.c (abbrev_match_mapper): * buffer.h (CANON_TABLE_OF): * buffer.h: * editfns.c (Fchar_equal): * minibuf.c (scmp_1): * text.c (qxestrcasecmp_i18n): * text.c (qxestrncasecmp_i18n): * text.c (qxetextcasecmp): * text.c (qxetextcasecmp_matching): Create new macro CANONCASE that converts to a canonical mapping and use it to do caseless comparisons instead of DOWNCASE. * alloc.c: * alloc.c (cons_equal): * alloc.c (vector_equal): * alloc.c (string_equal): * bytecode.c (compiled_function_equal): * chartab.c (char_table_entry_equal): * chartab.c (char_table_equal): * data.c (weak_list_equal): * data.c (weak_box_equal): * data.c (ephemeron_equal): * device-msw.c (equal_devmode): * elhash.c (hash_table_equal): * events.c (event_equal): * extents.c (properties_equal): * extents.c (extent_equal): * faces.c: * faces.c (face_equal): * faces.c (face_hash): * floatfns.c (float_equal): * fns.c: * fns.c (bit_vector_equal): * fns.c (plists_differ): * fns.c (Fplists_eq): * fns.c (Fplists_equal): * fns.c (Flax_plists_eq): * fns.c (Flax_plists_equal): * fns.c (internal_equal): * fns.c (internal_equalp): * fns.c (internal_equal_0): * fns.c (syms_of_fns): * glyphs.c (image_instance_equal): * glyphs.c (glyph_equal): * glyphs.c (glyph_hash): * gui.c (gui_item_equal): * lisp.h: * lrecord.h (struct lrecord_implementation): * marker.c (marker_equal): * number.c (bignum_equal): * number.c (ratio_equal): * number.c (bigfloat_equal): * objects.c (color_instance_equal): * objects.c (font_instance_equal): * opaque.c (equal_opaque): * opaque.c (equal_opaque_ptr): * rangetab.c (range_table_equal): * specifier.c (specifier_equal): Add a `foldcase' param to the equal() method and use it to implement `equalp' comparisons. Also add to plists_differ(), although we don't currently use it here. Rewrite internal_equalp(). Implement cross-type vector comparisons. Don't implement our own handling of numeric promotion -- just use the `=' primitive. Add internal_equal_0(), which takes a `foldcase' param and calls either internal_equal() or internal_equalp(). * buffer.h: When given a 0 for buffer (which is the norm when functions don't have a specific buffer available), use the current buffer's table, not `standard-case-table'; otherwise the current settings are ignored. * casetab.c: * casetab.c (set_case_table): When handling old-style vectors of 256 in `set-case-table' don't overwrite the existing table! Instead create a new table and populate. * device-msw.c (sync_printer_with_devmode): * lisp.h: * text.c (lisp_strcasecmp_ascii): Rename lisp_strcasecmp to lisp_strcasecmp_ascii and use lisp_strcasecmp_i18n for caseless comparisons in some places. * elhash.c: Delete unused lisp_string_hash and lisp_string_equal(). * events.h: * keymap-buttons.h: * keymap.h: * keymap.c (keymap_lookup_directly): * keymap.c (keymap_store): * keymap.c (FROB): * keymap.c (key_desc_list_to_event): * keymap.c (describe_map_mapper): * keymap.c (INCLUDE_BUTTON_ZERO): New file keymap-buttons.h; use to handle buttons 1-26 in place of duplicating code 26 times. * frame-gtk.c (allocate_gtk_frame_struct): * frame-msw.c (mswindows_init_frame_1): Fix some comments about internal_equal() in redisplay that don't apply any more. * keymap-slots.h: * keymap.c: New file keymap-slots.h. Use it to notate the slots in a keymap structure, similar to frameslots.h or coding-system-slots.h. * keymap.c (MARKED_SLOT): * keymap.c (keymap_equal): * keymap.c (keymap_hash): Implement. tests/ChangeLog addition: 2010-02-01 Ben Wing <ben@xemacs.org> * automated/case-tests.el: * automated/case-tests.el (uni-mappings): * automated/search-tests.el: Delete old pristine-case-table code. Rewrite the Unicode torture test to take into account whether overlapping mappings exist for more than one character, and not doing the upcase/downcase comparisons in such cases. * automated/lisp-tests.el (foo): * automated/lisp-tests.el (string-variable): * automated/lisp-tests.el (featurep): Replace Assert (equal ... with Assert-equal; same for other types of equality. Replace some awkward equivalents of Assert-equalp with Assert-equalp. Add lots of equalp tests. * automated/case-tests.el: * automated/regexp-tests.el: * automated/search-tests.el: Fix up the comments at the top of the files. Move rules about where to put tests into case-tests.el. * automated/test-harness.el: * automated/test-harness.el (test-harness-aborted-summary-template): New. * automated/test-harness.el (test-harness-from-buffer): * automated/test-harness.el (batch-test-emacs): Fix Assert-test-not. Create Assert-not-equal and variants. Delete the doc strings from all these convenience functions to avoid excessive repetition; instead use one copy in a comment.

**** WARNING ****
This file was never meant to be proper documentation, and now is bitrotted.
See the file gnuserv.1 and/or the sources 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.

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.
