redisplay fixes et al.
PROBLEMS: Add comment about Cygwin, unexec and sysmalloc.
Move some non-general stuff out of general.
Make a section for x86.
configure.in: Add check for broken alloca in funcalls.
mule/mule-cmds.el: Alias file-name to native not vice-versa.
Do set EOL of native but not of process output to fix various
problems and be consistent with code-init.el.
code-cmds.el: Return a name not a coding system.
code-init.el: Reindent. Remove `file-name' since it should always be the same
as native.
unicode.el: Rename to load-unicode-mapping-table as suggested by the anonymous
(but rather Turnbullian) comment in unicode.c.
xemacs.dsp: Add /k to default build.
alloc.c: Make gc_currently_forbidden static.
config.h.in, lisp.h: Move some stuff to lisp.h.
console-gtk.h, console-impl.h, console-msw.h, console-x.h, event-Xt.c, event-msw.c, redisplay-gtk.c, redisplay-msw.c, redisplay-output.c, redisplay-x.c, gtk-xemacs.c: Remove duplicated code to redraw exposed area. Add deadbox
method needed by the generalized redraw code. Defer redrawing
if already in redisplay.
frame-msw.c, event-stream.c, frame.c: Add comments about calling Lisp.
debug.c, general-slots.h: Move generalish symbols to general-slots.h.
doprnt.c: reindent.
lisp.h, dynarr.c: Add debug code for locking a dynarr to catch invalid mods.
Use in redisplay.c.
eval.c:
file-coding.c: Define file-name as alias for native not vice-versa.
frame-gtk.c, frame-x.c: Move Qwindow_id to general-slots.
dialog-msw.c, glyphs-gtk.c, glyphs-msw.c, glyphs-widget.c, glyphs-x.c, gui.c, gui.h, menubar-msw.c, menubar.c: Ensure that various glyph functions that eval within redisplay
protect the evals. Same for calls to internal_equal().
Modify various functions, e.g. gui_item_*(), to protect evals
within redisplay, taking an in_redisplay parameter if it's
possible for them to be called both inside and outside of
redisplay.
gutter.c: Defer specifier-changed updating till after redisplay, if
necessary, since we need to enter redisplay to do it.
gutter.c: Do nothing if in redisplay.
lisp.h: Add version of alloca() for use in function calls.
lisp.h: Add XCAD[D+]R up to 6 D's, and aliases X1ST, X2ND, etc.
frame.c, frame.h, redisplay.c, redisplay.h, signal.c, toolbar.c: Redo critical-section code and move from frame.c to redisplay.c.
Require that every place inside of redisplay catch errors itself,
not at the edge of the critical section (thereby bypassing the
rest of redisplay and leaving things in an inconsistent state).
Introduce separate means of holding frame-size changes without
entering a complete critical section. Introduce "post-redisplay"
methods for deferring things till after redisplay. Abort if
we enter redisplay reentrantly. Disable all quit checking in
redisplay since it's too dangerous. Ensure that all calls to
QUIT trigger an abort if unprotected.
redisplay.c, scrollbar-gtk.c, scrollbar-x.c, scrollbar.c: Create enter/exit_redisplay_critical_section_maybe() for code
that needs to ensure it's in a critical section but doesn't
interfere with an existing critical section.
sysdep.c: Use _wexecve() when under Windows NT for Unicode correctness.
text.c, text.h: Add new_dfc() functions, which return an alloca()ed value rather
than requiring an lvalue. (Not really used yet; used in another
workspace, to come.) Add some macros for SIZED_EXTERNAL.
Update the encoding aliases after involved scrutinization of the
X manual.
unicode.c: Answer the anonymous but suspiciously Turnbullian questions.
Rename parse-unicode-translation-table to
load-unicode-mapping-table, as suggested.

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.
