[xemacs-hg @ 2002-05-23 11:46:08 by ben] fix for raymond toy's crash, alloca crashes, some recover-session improvements files.el: Recover-session improvements: Only show session files where some files can actually be recovered, and show in chronological order. subr.el, menubar-items.el: As promised to rms, the functionality in truncate-string-with-continuation-dots has been merged into truncate-string-to-width. Change callers in menubar-items.el. select.el: Document some of these funs better. Fix problem where we were doing own-clipboard twice. Makefile.in.in: Add alloca.o. Ensure that alloca.s doesn't compile into alloca.o, but allocax.o (not that it's currently used or anything.) EmacsFrame.c, abbrev.c, alloc.c, alloca.c, callint.c, callproc.c, config.h.in, device-msw.c, device-x.c, dired.c, doc.c, editfns.c, emacs.c, emodules.c, eval.c, event-Xt.c, event-msw.c, event-stream.c, file-coding.c, fileio.c, filelock.c, fns.c, glyphs-gtk.c, glyphs-msw.c, glyphs-x.c, gui-x.c, input-method-xlib.c, intl-win32.c, lisp.h, lread.c, menubar-gtk.c, menubar-msw.c, menubar.c, mule-wnnfns.c, nt.c, objects-msw.c, process-nt.c, realpath.c, redisplay-gtk.c, redisplay-output.c, redisplay-x.c, redisplay.c, search.c, select-msw.c, sysdep.c, syswindows.h, text.c, text.h, ui-byhand.c: Fix Raymond Toy's crash. Repeat to self: 2^21 - 1 is NOT the same as (2 << 21) - 1. Fix crashes due to excessive alloca(). replace alloca() with ALLOCA(), which calls the C alloca() [which uses xmalloc()] when the size is too big. Insert in various places calls to try to flush the C alloca() stored info if there is any. Add MALLOC_OR_ALLOCA(), for places that expect to be alloca()ing large blocks. This xmalloc()s when too large and records an unwind-protect to free -- relying on the caller to unbind_to() elsewhere in the function. Use it in concat(). Use MALLOC instead of ALLOCA in select-msw.c. xemacs.mak: Add alloca.o.

This is the file .../info/dir, which contains the topmost node of the Info
hierarchy.  The first time you invoke Info you start off looking at that node,
which is (dir)Top.

Rather than adding new nodes to this directory (and this file) it is a better
idea to put them in a site-local directory, and then configure info to search
in that directory as well.  That way, you won't have to re-edit this file when
a new release of the editor comes out.

For example, you could add this code to .../lisp/site-start.el, which is
loaded before ~/.emacs each time the editor starts up:

  ;; find local info nodes
  (setq Info-directory-list
        (append Info-directory-list '("/private/info/")))

Then, when you enter info, a dir file like this one will be automatically
created and saved (provided you have write access to the directory).  The
contents of that file "/private/info/dir" will be appended to the contents of
this file.


File: dir	Node: Top	This is the top of the INFO tree

  This is Info, the online documentation browsing system.
  This page (the Directory node) gives a menu of major topics.

  button1 or button2 on a highlighted word follows that cross-reference.
  button3 anywhere brings up a menu of commands.
  ? lists additional keyboard commands.
  h invokes the Info tutorial.
