(1) Make lrecord UID's have a separate UID space for each object.
Otherwise, with 20-bit UID's, we rapidly wrap around, especially
when common objects like conses and strings increment the UID value
for every object created. (Originally I tried making two UID spaces,
one for objects that always print readably and hence don't display
the UID, and one for other objects. But certain objects like markers
for which a UID is displayed are still generated rapidly enough that
UID overflow is a serious issue.) This also has the advantage of
making UID values smaller, hence easier to remember -- their main
purpose is to make it easier to keep track of different objects of
the same type when debugging code. Make sure we dump lrecord UID's
so that we don't have problems with pdumped and non-dumped objects
having the same UID.
(2) Display UID's consistently whenever an object (a) doesn't
consistently print readably (objects like cons and string, which
always print readably, can't display a UID), and (b) doesn't
otherwise have a unique property that makes objects of a
particular type distinguishable. (E.g. buffers didn't and still
don't print an ID, but the buffer name uniquely identifies the
buffer.) Some types, such as event, extent, compiled-function,
didn't always (or didn't ever) display an ID; others (such as
marker, extent, lstream, opaque, opaque-ptr, any object using
internal_object_printer()) used to display the actual machine
pointer instead.
(3) Rename NORMAL_LISP_OBJECT_UID to LISP_OBJECT_UID; make it work
over all Lisp objects and take a Lisp object, not a struct pointer.
(4) Some misc cleanups in alloc.c, elhash.c.
(5) Change code in events.c that "deinitializes" an event so that
it doesn't increment the event UID counter in the process. Also
use deadbeef_memory() to overwrite memory instead of doing the same
with custom code. In the process, make deadbeef_memory() in
alloc.c always available, and delete extraneous copy in mc-alloc.c.
Also capitalize all uses of 0xDEADBEEF. Similarly in elhash.c
call deadbeef_memory().
(6) Resurrect "debug SOE" code in extents.c. Make it conditional
on DEBUG_XEMACS and on a `debug-soe' variable, rather than on
SOE_DEBUG. Make it output to stderr, not stdout.
(7) Delete some custom print methods that were identical to
external_object_printer().

Package distributions may be placed in this directory. If present and a package-path is configured, packages can be installed using the top-level Makefile. To configure the package path, use the --with-late-packages option to configure, which specifies a single directory in which to install the xemacs-packages and mule-packages hierarchies provided. If this is null, or contains a Unix-style search path (i.e., a colon is present in the argument of the --with-late-packages option), you will have to install the packages by hand. To find out if a distribution includes bundled packages, type make check-available-packages There are three Make targets that may be available depending on the package sets supplied. make install-bootstrap-packages Install a selected set of packages sufficient to support downloading and installing packages via the M-x list-packages interface. Chose this if you want to be able to install the latest version of each package immediately. make install-nomule-packages Install the full distribution of packages that do not require a Mule-enabled XEmacs. Choose this package if you don't have a Mule-enabled XEmacs and want the convenience of a single-command installation. You can add or update packages via M-x list-packages at any time. make install-all-packages Install the full distribution of packages, including those requiring a Mule-enabled XEmacs. Choose this package if you have a Mule- enabled XEmacs and want the convenience of a single-command installation. You can add or update packages via M-x list-packages at any time. DISTRIBUTOR'S NOTE: you may choose what packages you wish to include in bootstrap.tar.gz, but to make list-packages work you need to include at least xemacs-base, dired, and efs. The tarball should unpack directly as an xemacs-packages tree (and optionaly, a mule-packages tree. Also, if either of xemacs-sumo.tar.gz or xemacs-mule-sumo.tar.gz is provided, the other should be as well. If packages are not available with the distribution, you can get them at ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/packages/xemacs-sumo.tar.gz ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/packages/xemacs-mule-sumo.tar.gz http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp/Tools/XEmacs/bootstrap.tar.gz and place them in the same directory as this file. You can also make your own bootstrap.tar.gz by creating a directory xemacs-packages, then untarring the packages of your choice into that directory, and tarring the whole thing up with "tar czf bootstrap.tar.gz xemacs-packages". (If you wish to include mule-packages, you should place them in mule-packages as a sibling of xemacs-packages.) This facility currently does not support installations which configure the --with-early-packages, --with-late-packages, or --with-last-packages options. This facility currently will not overwrite an existing package installation, not even if a whole hierarchy (usually the mule-packages) is missing. In particular, you cannot use this feature to add the mule-packages to a package installation which lacks them, even if the hierarchy is missing, or the xemacs-packages hierarchy was installed this way. Nor can you "upgrade" a bootstrap installation to a full installation. If you wish to do any of these things you will need to remove the existing hierarchies.
