[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 directory contains a number of sample Emacs dynamic modules.
These modules can be loaded with the command 'M-x load-module'.

To compile one of these modules, simply enter the desired directory
and type 'make'. Then, from within Emacs, load the module by
specifying the path to the directory which contains the compiled
module.

Each of these samples describes different features and limitations
of the Emacs module loading technology. Please refer to the README
files in each directory for a brief discussion on what the sample
in that directory is demonstrating.  For a complete discussion on
Emacs dynamic modules, please consult the Emacs Module Writers Guide,
which can be found in the ../info directory.

NOTE: As this technology matures, this directory will eventually contain
large parts of XEmacs itself, which will be loaded in as required.
