[xemacs-hg @ 2004-11-04 23:05:23 by ben] commit mega-patch configure.in: Turn off -Winline and -Wchar-subscripts. Use the right set of cflags when compiling modules. Rewrite ldap configuration to separate the inclusion of lber (needed in recent Cygwin) from the basic checks for the needed libraries. add a function for MAKE_JUNK_C; initially code was added to generate xemacs.def using this, but it will need to be rewritten. add an rm -f for junk.c to avoid weird Cygwin bug with cp -f onto an existing file. Sort list of auto-detected functions and eliminate unused checks for stpcpy, setlocale and getwd. Add autodetection of Cygwin scanf problems BETA: Rewrite section on configure to indicate what flags are important and what not. digest-doc.c, make-dump-id.c, profile.c, sorted-doc.c: Add proper decls for main(). make-msgfile.c: Document that this is old junk. Move proposal to text.c. make-msgfile.lex: Move proposal to text.c. make-mswin-unicode.pl: Convert error-generating code so that the entire message will be seen as a single unrecognized token. mule/mule-ccl.el: Update docs. lispref/mule.texi: Update CCL docs. ldap/eldap.c: Mule-ize. Use EXTERNAL_LIST_LOOP_2 instead of deleted EXTERNAL_LIST_LOOP. * XEmacs 21.5.18 "chestnut" is released. --------------------------------------------------------------- MULE-RELATED WORK: --------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------- byte-char conversion --------------------------- buffer.c, buffer.h, insdel.c, text.c: Port FSF algorithm for byte-char conversion, replacing broken previous version. Track the char position of the gap. Add functions to do char-byte conversion downwards as well as upwards. Move comments about algorithm workings to internals manual. --------------------------- work on types --------------------------- alloc.c, console-x-impl.h, dump-data.c, dump-data.h, dumper.c, dialog-msw.c, dired-msw.c, doc.c, editfns.c, esd.c, event-gtk.h, event-msw.c, events.c, file-coding.c, file-coding.h, fns.c, glyphs-eimage.c, glyphs-gtk.c, glyphs-msw.c, glyphs-shared.c, glyphs-x.c, glyphs.c, glyphs.h, gui.c, hpplay.c, imgproc.c, intl-win32.c, lrecord.h, lstream.c, keymap.c, lisp.h, libsst.c, linuxplay.c, miscplay.c, miscplay.h, mule-coding.c, nas.c, nt.c, ntheap.c, ntplay.c, objects-msw.c, objects-tty.c, objects-x.c, print.c, process-nt.c, process.c, redisplay.h, select-common.h, select-gtk.c, select-x.c, sgiplay.c, sound.c, sound.h, sunplay.c, sysfile.h, sysdep.c, syswindows.h, text.c, unexnt.c, win32.c, xgccache.c: Further work on types. This creates a full set of types for all the basic semantics of `char' that I have so far identified, so that its semantics can always be identified for the purposes of proper Mule-safe code, and the raw use of `char' always avoided. (1) More type renaming, for consistency of naming. Char_ASCII -> Ascbyte UChar_ASCII -> UAscbyte Char_Binary -> CBinbyte UChar_Binary -> Binbyte SChar_Binary -> SBinbyte (2) Introduce Rawbyte, CRawbyte, Boolbyte, Chbyte, UChbyte, and Bitbyte and use them. (3) New types Itext, Wexttext and Textcount for separating out the concepts of bytes and textual units (different under UTF-16 and UTF-32, which are potential internal encodings). (4) qxestr*_c -> qxestr*_ascii. lisp.h: New; goes with other qxe() functions. #### Maybe goes in a different section. lisp.h: Group generic int-type defs together with EMACS_INT defs. lisp.h: * lisp.h (WEXTTEXT_IS_WIDE) New defns. lisp.h: New type to replace places where int occurs as a boolean. It's signed because occasionally people may want to use -1 as an error value, and because unsigned ints are viral -- see comments in the internals manual against using them. dynarr.c: int -> Bytecount. --------------------------- Mule-izing --------------------------- device-x.c: Partially Mule-ize. dumper.c, dumper.h: Mule-ize. Use Rawbyte. Use stderr_out not printf. Use wext_*(). sysdep.c, syswindows.h, text.c: New Wexttext API for manipulation of external text that may be Unicode (e.g. startup code under Windows). emacs.c: Mule-ize. Properly deal with argv in external encoding. Use wext_*() and Wexttext. Use Rawbyte. #if 0 some old junk on SCO that is unlikely to be correct. Rewrite allocation code in run-temacs. emacs.c, symsinit.h, win32.c: Rename win32 init function and call it even earlier, to initialize mswindows_9x_p even earlier, for use in startup code (XEUNICODE_P). process.c: Use _wenviron not environ under Windows, to get Unicode environment variables. event-Xt.c: Mule-ize drag-n-drop related stuff. dragdrop.c, dragdrop.h, frame-x.c: Mule-ize. text.h: Add some more stand-in defines for particular kinds of conversion; use in Mule-ization work in frame-x.c etc. --------------------------- Freshening --------------------------- intl-auto-encap-win32.c, intl-auto-encap-win32.h: Regenerate. --------------------------- Unicode-work --------------------------- intl-win32.c, syswindows.h: Factor out common options to MultiByteToWideChar and WideCharToMultiByte. Add convert_unicode_to_multibyte_malloc() and convert_unicode_to_multibyte_dynarr() and use. Add stuff for alloca() conversion of multibyte/unicode. alloc.c: Use dfc_external_data_len() in case of unicode coding system. alloc.c, mule-charset.c: Don't zero out and reinit charset Unicode tables. This fucks up dump-time loading. Anyway, either we load them at dump time or run time, never both. unicode.c: Dump the blank tables as well. --------------------------------------------------------------- DOCUMENTATION, MOSTLY MULE-RELATED: --------------------------------------------------------------- EmacsFrame.c, emodules.c, event-Xt.c, fileio.c, input-method-xlib.c, mule-wnnfns.c, redisplay-gtk.c, redisplay-tty.c, redisplay-x.c, regex.c, sysdep.c: Add comment about Mule work needed. text.h: Add more documentation describing why DFC routines were not written to return their value. Add some other DFC documentation. console-msw.c, console-msw.h: Add pointer to docs in win32.c. emacs.c: Add comments on sources of doc info. text.c, charset.h, unicode.c, intl-win32.c, intl-encap-win32.c, text.h, file-coding.c, mule-coding.c: Collect background comments and related to text matters and internationalization, and proposals for work to be done, in text.c or Internals manual, stuff related to specific textual API's in text.h, and stuff related to internal implementation of Unicode conversion in unicode.c. Put lots of pointers to the comments to make them easier to find. s/mingw32.h, s/win32-common.h, s/win32-native.h, s/windowsnt.h, win32.c: Add bunches of new documentation on the different kinds of builds and environments under Windows and how they work. Collect this info in win32.c. Add pointers to these docs in the relevant s/* files. emacs.c: Document places with long comments. Remove comment about exiting, move to internals manual, put in pointer. event-stream.c: Move docs about event queues and focus to internals manual, put in pointer. events.h: Move docs about event stream callbacks to internals manual, put in pointer. profile.c, redisplay.c, signal.c: Move documentation to the Internals manual. process-nt.c: Add pointer to comment in win32-native.el. lisp.h: Add comments about some comment conventions. lisp.h: Add comment about the second argument. device-msw.c, redisplay-msw.c: @@#### comments are out-of-date. --------------------------------------------------------------- PDUMP WORK (MOTIVATED BY UNICODE CHANGES) --------------------------------------------------------------- alloc.c, buffer.c, bytecode.c, console-impl.h, console.c, device.c, dumper.c, lrecord.h, elhash.c, emodules.h, events.c, extents.c, frame.c, glyphs.c, glyphs.h, mule-charset.c, mule-coding.c, objects.c, profile.c, rangetab.c, redisplay.c, specifier.c, specifier.h, window.c, lstream.c, file-coding.h, file-coding.c: PDUMP: Properly implement dump_add_root_block(), which never worked before, and is necessary for dumping Unicode tables. Pdump name changes for accuracy: XD_STRUCT_PTR -> XD_BLOCK_PTR. XD_STRUCT_ARRAY -> XD_BLOCK_ARRAY. XD_C_STRING -> XD_ASCII_STRING. *_structure_* -> *_block_*. lrecord.h: some comments added about dump_add_root_block() vs dump_add_root_block_ptr(). extents.c: remove incorrect comment about pdump problems with gap array. --------------------------------------------------------------- ALLOCATION --------------------------------------------------------------- abbrev.c, alloc.c, bytecode.c, casefiddle.c, device-msw.c, device-x.c, dired-msw.c, doc.c, doprnt.c, dragdrop.c, editfns.c, emodules.c, file-coding.c, fileio.c, filelock.c, fns.c, glyphs-eimage.c, glyphs-gtk.c, glyphs-msw.c, glyphs-x.c, gui-msw.c, gui-x.c, imgproc.c, intl-win32.c, lread.c, menubar-gtk.c, menubar.c, nt.c, objects-msw.c, objects-x.c, print.c, process-nt.c, process-unix.c, process.c, realpath.c, redisplay.c, search.c, select-common.c, symbols.c, sysdep.c, syswindows.h, text.c, text.h, ui-byhand.c: New macros {alloca,xnew}_{itext,{i,ext,raw,bin,asc}bytes} for more convenient allocation of these commonly requested items.

@chapter Drag and Drop
@cindex drag and drop

@emph{WARNING}: the Drag'n'Drop API is still under development and the
interface may change! The current implementation is considered experimental.

  Drag'n'drop is a way to transfer information between multiple applications.
To do this several GUIs define their own protocols. Examples are OffiX, CDE,
Motif, KDE, MSWindows, GNOME, and many more. To catch all these protocols,
XEmacs provides a generic API.

One prime idea behind the API is to use a data interface that is
transparent for all systems. The author thinks that this is best
archived by using URL and MIME data, cause any internet enabled system
must support these for email already. XEmacs also already provides
powerful interfaces to support these types of data (tm and w3).

@node Supported Protocols
@section Supported Protocols

The current release of XEmacs only support a small set of Drag'n'drop
protocols. Some of these only support limited options available in the API.

@end menu

@node OffiX DND
@subsection OffiX DND
@cindex OffiX DND

@emph{WARNING}: If you compile in OffiX, you may not be able to use
multiple X displays successfully.  If the two servers are from
different vendors, the results may be unpredictable.

The OffiX Drag'n'Drop protocol is part of a X API/Widget library created by
Cesar Crusius. It is based on X-Atoms and ClientMessage events, and works with
any X platform supporting them.

OffiX is supported if 'offix is member of the variable dragdrop-protocols, or
the feature 'offix is defined.

Unfortunately it uses it's own data types. Examples are: File, Files,
Exe, Link, URL, MIME. The API tries to choose the right type for the data that
is dragged from XEmacs (well, not yet...).

XEmacs supports both MIME and URL drags and drops using this API. No application
interaction is possible while dragging is in progress.

For information about the OffiX project have a look at http://leb.net/~offix/

@node CDE dt
@subsection CDE dt
@cindex CDE dt

CDE stands for Common Desktop Environment. It is based on the Motif
widget library. It's drag'n'drop protocol is also an abstraction of the
Motif protocol (so it might be possible, that XEmacs will also support
the Motif protocol soon).

CDE has three different types: file, buffer, and text. XEmacs only uses
file and buffer drags. The API will disallow full URL drags, only file
method URLs are passed through.

Buffer drags are always converted to plain text.

@node MSWindows OLE
@subsection MSWindows OLE
@cindex MSWindows OLE

Only allows file drags and drops.

@node Loose ends
@subsection Loose ends

The following protocols will be supported soon: Xdnd, Motif, Xde (if I
get some specs), KDE OffiX (if KDE can find XEmacs windows).

In particular Xdnd will be one of the protocols that can benefit from
the XEmacs API, cause it also uses MIME types to encode dragged data.

@node Drop Interface
@section Drop Interface
@cindex drop
@cindex Drop API

For each activated low-level protocol, an internal routine will catch
incoming drops and convert them to a dragdrop-drop type
misc-user-event.

This misc-user-event has its function argument set to
@code{dragdrop-drop-dispatch} and the object contains the data of the drop
(converted to URL/MIME specific data). This function will search the variable
@code{experimental-dragdrop-drop-functions} for a function that can handle the
dropped data.

To modify the drop behavior, the user can modify the variable
@code{experimental-dragdrop-drop-functions}. Each element of this list
specifies a possible handler for dropped data. The first one that can handle
the data will return @code{t} and exit. Another possibility is to set a
extent-property with the same name. Extents are checked prior to the
variable.

The customization group @code{drag-n-drop} shows all variables of user
interest.
