fix memory usage stats to include pdumped objects -------------------- ChangeLog entries follow: -------------------- lisp/ChangeLog addition: 2010-02-21 Ben Wing <ben@xemacs.org> * diagnose.el: * diagnose.el (show-object-memory-usage-stats): Fix errors preventing this from working properly, account for words like "entry" pluralized to "entries". src/ChangeLog addition: 2010-02-21 Ben Wing <ben@xemacs.org> * alloc.c: * alloc.c (FREE_FIXED_TYPE_WHEN_NOT_IN_GC): * alloc.c (struct): * alloc.c (tick_lrecord_stats): * alloc.c (tick_lcrecord_stats): * alloc.c (sweep_lcrecords_1): * alloc.c (COUNT_FROB_BLOCK_USAGE): * alloc.c (SWEEP_FIXED_TYPE_BLOCK_1): * alloc.c (free_cons): * alloc.c (free_key_data): * alloc.c (free_button_data): * alloc.c (free_motion_data): * alloc.c (free_process_data): * alloc.c (free_timeout_data): * alloc.c (free_magic_data): * alloc.c (free_magic_eval_data): * alloc.c (free_eval_data): * alloc.c (free_misc_user_data): * alloc.c (free_marker): * alloc.c (gc_sweep_1): * alloc.c (HACK_O_MATIC): * alloc.c (FROB): * alloc.c (object_memory_usage_stats): * alloc.c (Fgarbage_collect): * dumper.c: * dumper.c (pdump_objects_unmark): * lrecord.h: * lrecord.h (enum lrecord_alloc_status): Fixes to memory-usage-tracking code, etc. (1) Incorporate NEW_GC stuff into FREE_FIXED_TYPE_WHEN_NOT_IN_GC to avoid duplication. (2) Rewrite tick_lcrecord_stats() to include separate tick_lrecord_stats(); use in dumper.c to note pdumped objects. (3) Instead of handling frob-block objects specially in object_memory_usage_stats(), have SWEEP_FIXED_TYPE_BLOCK_1 increment the stats in lrecord_stats[] so that they get handled like other objects. (4) Pluralize entry as entries, etc.

This directory contains a number of XEmacs dynamic modules.  These
modules can be loaded directly with the command 'M-x load-module'.
However, the preferred method of loading a module is to issue a
"(require 'module-name)" command to the Lisp interpreter.  This will
store information so that a later "(unload-feature 'module-name)" can
succeed.

To compile one of these modules, simply enter the desired directory,
type 'configure', and then 'make'.  If you are building the module for
an installed XEmacs, then 'make install' will place the module in the
appropriate directory for XEmacs to find it later (assuming you have
permission to write to that directory).  A subsequent 'load-module' or
'require' will then load the module, as described above.

Each of these demonstrates different features and limitations of the
XEmacs module loading technology.  For a complete discussion on XEmacs
dynamic modules, please consult the XEmacs Module Writers Guide, which
can be found in the ../info directory.

For those wanting to get started with module writing, please see the
'sample' directory.  It contains two subdirectories: internal and
external.  The 'internal' subdirectory contains the framework needed to
migrate some core piece of XEmacs functionality into code that can
either be compiled into the core or built as a separate module.  The
'external' subdirectory contains the somewhat simpler framework needed
to build a module separately from XEmacs.  These should be considered
starting places for module writing.
