[xemacs-hg @ 2001-09-20 06:28:42 by ben] The great integral types renaming. The purpose of this is to rationalize the names used for various integral types, so that they match their intended uses and follow consist conventions, and eliminate types that were not semantically different from each other. The conventions are: -- All integral types that measure quantities of anything are signed. Some people disagree vociferously with this, but their arguments are mostly theoretical, and are vastly outweighed by the practical headaches of mixing signed and unsigned values, and more importantly by the far increased likelihood of inadvertent bugs: Because of the broken "viral" nature of unsigned quantities in C (operations involving mixed signed/unsigned are done unsigned, when exactly the opposite is nearly always wanted), even a single error in declaring a quantity unsigned that should be signed, or even the even more subtle error of comparing signed and unsigned values and forgetting the necessary cast, can be catastrophic, as comparisons will yield wrong results. -Wsign-compare is turned on specifically to catch this, but this tends to result in a great number of warnings when mixing signed and unsigned, and the casts are annoying. More has been written on this elsewhere. -- All such quantity types just mentioned boil down to EMACS_INT, which is 32 bits on 32-bit machines and 64 bits on 64-bit machines. This is guaranteed to be the same size as Lisp objects of type `int', and (as far as I can tell) of size_t (unsigned!) and ssize_t. The only type below that is not an EMACS_INT is Hashcode, which is an unsigned value of the same size as EMACS_INT. -- Type names should be relatively short (no more than 10 characters or so), with the first letter capitalized and no underscores if they can at all be avoided. -- "count" == a zero-based measurement of some quantity. Includes sizes, offsets, and indexes. -- "bpos" == a one-based measurement of a position in a buffer. "Charbpos" and "Bytebpos" count text in the buffer, rather than bytes in memory; thus Bytebpos does not directly correspond to the memory representation. Use "Membpos" for this. -- "Char" refers to internal-format characters, not to the C type "char", which is really a byte. -- For the actual name changes, see the script below. I ran the following script to do the conversion. (NOTE: This script is idempotent. You can safely run it multiple times and it will not screw up previous results -- in fact, it will do nothing if nothing has changed. Thus, it can be run repeatedly as necessary to handle patches coming in from old workspaces, or old branches.) There are two tags, just before and just after the change: `pre-integral-type-rename' and `post-integral-type-rename'. When merging code from the main trunk into a branch, the best thing to do is first merge up to `pre-integral-type-rename', then apply the script and associated changes, then merge from `post-integral-type-change' to the present. (Alternatively, just do the merging in one operation; but you may then have a lot of conflicts needing to be resolved by hand.) Script `fixtypes.sh' follows: ----------------------------------- cut ------------------------------------ files="*.[ch] s/*.h m/*.h config.h.in ../configure.in Makefile.in.in ../lib-src/*.[ch] ../lwlib/*.[ch]" gr Memory_Count Bytecount $files gr Lstream_Data_Count Bytecount $files gr Element_Count Elemcount $files gr Hash_Code Hashcode $files gr extcount bytecount $files gr bufpos charbpos $files gr bytind bytebpos $files gr memind membpos $files gr bufbyte intbyte $files gr Extcount Bytecount $files gr Bufpos Charbpos $files gr Bytind Bytebpos $files gr Memind Membpos $files gr Bufbyte Intbyte $files gr EXTCOUNT BYTECOUNT $files gr BUFPOS CHARBPOS $files gr BYTIND BYTEBPOS $files gr MEMIND MEMBPOS $files gr BUFBYTE INTBYTE $files gr MEMORY_COUNT BYTECOUNT $files gr LSTREAM_DATA_COUNT BYTECOUNT $files gr ELEMENT_COUNT ELEMCOUNT $files gr HASH_CODE HASHCODE $files ----------------------------------- cut ------------------------------------ `fixtypes.sh' is a Bourne-shell script; it uses 'gr': ----------------------------------- cut ------------------------------------ #!/bin/sh # Usage is like this: # gr FROM TO FILES ... # globally replace FROM with TO in FILES.

Specifically: 1. in lisp.h, removed duplicate declarations of Bytecount. The changed code should now look like this: (In each code snippet below, the first and last lines are the same as the original, as are all lines outside of those lines. That allows you to locate the section to be replaced, and replace the stuff in that section, verifying that there isn't anything new added that would need to be kept.) --------------------------------- snip ------------------------------------- /* Counts of bytes or chars */ typedef EMACS_INT Bytecount; typedef EMACS_INT Charcount; /* Counts of elements */ typedef EMACS_INT Elemcount; /* Hash codes */ typedef unsigned long Hashcode; /* ------------------------ dynamic arrays ------------------- */ --------------------------------- snip ------------------------------------- 2. in lstream.h, removed duplicate declaration of Bytecount. Rewrote the comment about this type. The changed code should now look like this: --------------------------------- snip ------------------------------------- #endif /* The have been some arguments over the what the type should be that specifies a count of bytes in a data block to be written out or read in, using Lstream_read(), Lstream_write(), and related functions. Originally it was long, which worked fine; Martin "corrected" these to size_t and ssize_t on the grounds that this is theoretically cleaner and is in keeping with the C standards. Unfortunately, this practice is horribly error-prone due to design flaws in the way that mixed signed/unsigned arithmetic happens. In fact, by doing this change, Martin introduced a subtle but fatal error that caused the operation of sending large mail messages to the SMTP server under Windows to fail. By putting all values back to be signed, avoiding any signed/unsigned mixing, the bug immediately went away. The type then in use was Lstream_Data_Count, so that it be reverted cleanly if a vote came to that. Now it is Bytecount. Some earlier comments about why the type must be signed: This MUST BE SIGNED, since it also is used in functions that return the number of bytes actually read to or written from in an operation, and these functions can return -1 to signal error. Note that the standard Unix read() and write() functions define the count going in as a size_t, which is UNSIGNED, and the count going out as an ssize_t, which is SIGNED. This is a horrible design flaw. Not only is it highly likely to lead to logic errors when a -1 gets interpreted as a large positive number, but operations are bound to fail in all sorts of horrible ways when a number in the upper-half of the size_t range is passed in -- this number is unrepresentable as an ssize_t, so code that checks to see how many bytes are actually written (which is mandatory if you are dealing with certain types of devices) will get completely screwed up. --ben */ typedef enum lstream_buffering --------------------------------- snip ------------------------------------- 3. in dumper.c, there are four places, all inside of switch() statements, where XD_BYTECOUNT appears twice as a case tag. In each case, the two case blocks contain identical code, and you should *REMOVE THE SECOND* and leave the first.

;;; Synched up with: Emacs 20.2.

;;; Commentary:

;; This file is dumped with XEmacs.

;; This file defines a unified mechanism for saving & loading files stored
;; in different formats.  `format-alist' contains information that directs
;; Emacs to call an encoding or decoding function when reading or writing
;; files that match certain conditions.
;;
;; When a file is visited, its format is determined by matching the
;; beginning of the file against regular expressions stored in
;; `format-alist'.  If this fails, you can manually translate the buffer
;; using `format-decode-buffer'.  In either case, the formats used are
;; listed in the variable `buffer-file-format', and become the default
;; format for saving the buffer.  To save a buffer in a different format,
;; change this variable, or use `format-write-file'.
;;
;; Auto-save files are normally created in the same format as the visited
;; file, but the variable `auto-save-file-format' can be set to a
;; particularly fast or otherwise preferred format to be used for
;; auto-saving (or nil to do no encoding on auto-save files, but then you
;; risk losing any text-properties in the buffer).
;;
;; You can manually translate a buffer into or out of a particular format
;; with the functions `format-encode-buffer' and `format-decode-buffer'.
;; To translate just the region use the functions `format-encode-region'
;; and `format-decode-region'.
;;
;; You can define a new format by writing the encoding and decoding
;; functions, and adding an entry to `format-alist'.  See enriched.el for
;; an example of how to implement a file format.  There are various
;; functions defined in this file that may be useful for writing the
;; encoding and decoding functions:
;;  * `format-annotate-region' and `format-deannotate-region' allow a
;;     single alist of information to be used for encoding and decoding.
;;     The alist defines a correspondence between strings in the file
;;     ("annotations") and text-properties in the buffer.
;;  * `format-replace-strings' is similarly useful for doing simple
;;     string->string translations in a reversible manner.

  "List of information about understood file formats.
Elements are of the form \(NAME DOC-STR REGEXP FROM-FN TO-FN MODIFY MODE-FN).

NAME    is a symbol, which is stored in `buffer-file-format'.

DOC-STR should be a single line providing more information about the
        format.  It is currently unused, but in the future will be shown to
        the user if they ask for more information.

REGEXP  is a regular expression to match against the beginning of the file;
        it should match only files in that format.

FROM-FN is called to decode files in that format; it gets two args, BEGIN
        and END, and can make any modifications it likes, returning the new
        end.  It must make sure that the beginning of the file no longer
        matches REGEXP, or else it will get called again.
	Alternatively, FROM-FN can be a string, which specifies a shell command
	(including options) to be used as a filter to perform the conversion.

TO-FN   is called to encode a region into that format; it is passed three
        arguments: BEGIN, END, and BUFFER.  BUFFER is the original buffer that
        the data being written came from, which the function could use, for
        example, to find the values of local variables.  TO-FN should either
        return a list of annotations like `write-region-annotate-functions',
        or modify the region and return the new end.
	Alternatively, TO-FN can be a string, which specifies a shell command
	(including options) to be used as a filter to perform the conversion.

MODIFY, if non-nil, means the TO-FN wants to modify the region.  If nil,
        TO-FN will not make any changes but will instead return a list of
        annotations.

MODE-FN, if specified, is called when visiting a file with that format.")

(defun format-deannotate-region (from to translations next-fn)
  "Translate annotations in the region into text properties.
This sets text properties between FROM to TO as directed by the
TRANSLATIONS and NEXT-FN arguments.

NEXT-FN is a function that searches forward from point for an annotation.
It should return a list of 4 elements: \(BEGIN END NAME POSITIVE).  BEGIN and
END are buffer positions bounding the annotation, NAME is the name searched
for in TRANSLATIONS, and POSITIVE should be non-nil if this annotation marks
the beginning of a region with some property, or nil if it ends the region.
NEXT-FN should return nil if there are no annotations after point.

The basic format of the TRANSLATIONS argument is described in the
documentation for the `format-annotate-region' function.  There are some
additional things to keep in mind for decoding, though:

When an annotation is found, the TRANSLATIONS list is searched for a
text-property name and value that corresponds to that annotation.  If the
text-property has several annotations associated with it, it will be used only
if the other annotations are also in effect at that point.  The first match
found whose annotations are all present is used.

The text property thus determined is set to the value over the region between
the opening and closing annotations.  However, if the text-property name has a
non-nil `format-list-valued' property, then the value will be consed onto the
surrounding value of the property, rather than replacing that value.

There are some special symbols that can be used in the \"property\" slot of
the TRANSLATIONS list: PARAMETER and FUNCTION \(spelled in uppercase).
Annotations listed under the pseudo-property PARAMETER are considered to be
arguments of the immediately surrounding annotation; the text between the
opening and closing parameter annotations is deleted from the buffer but saved
as a string.  The surrounding annotation should be listed under the
pseudo-property FUNCTION.  Instead of inserting a text-property for this
annotation, the function listed in the VALUE slot is called to make whatever
changes are appropriate.  The function's first two arguments are the START and
END locations, and the rest of the arguments are any PARAMETERs found in that
region.

Any annotations that are found by NEXT-FN but not defined by TRANSLATIONS
are saved as values of the `unknown' text-property \(which is list-valued).
The TRANSLATIONS list should usually contain an entry of the form
    \(unknown \(nil format-annotate-value))
to write these unknown annotations back into the file."

Searches for changes between FROM and TO, and describes them with a list of

properties not to consider; any text properties that are neither ignored nor
listed in TRANSLATIONS are warned about.
If you actually want to modify the region, give the return value of this
function to `format-insert-annotations'.

Format of the TRANSLATIONS argument:

Each element is a list whose car is a PROPERTY, and the following
elements are VALUES of that property followed by the names of zero or more
ANNOTATIONS.  Whenever the property takes on that value, the annotations
\(as formatted by FORMAT-FN) are inserted into the file.
When the property stops having that value, the matching negated annotation
will be inserted \(it may actually be closed earlier and reopened, if
necessary, to keep proper nesting).

If the property's value is a list, then each element of the list is dealt with
separately.

If a VALUE is numeric, then it is assumed that there is a single annotation
and each occurrence of it increments the value of the property by that number.
Thus, given the entry \(left-margin \(4 \"indent\")), if the left margin
changes from 4 to 12, two <indent> annotations will be generated.

If the VALUE is nil, then instead of annotations, a function should be
specified.  This function is used as a default: it is called for all
transitions not explicitly listed in the table.  The function is called with
two arguments, the OLD and NEW values of the property.  It should return
lists of annotations like `format-annotate-location' does.
