What about the "copyright.el botch" I posted about a few days ago...?

Lars suggested a fix (let-binding write-file-hooks instead of
copyright-update), but I dunno if that's considered the right thing...

Sorry, I forgot about that.  Does something like this work?

Also, it would be nice if someone could figure out why this used to
work.

I think it would be better for nnfolder just not to do this at all.
First, how many mail folders happen to contain copyright headers at
the start?
Second, people should be more selective about enabling features on
buffer-save. It's not the responsibility of every package that saves a
buffer to disable every feature (trailing whitespace removal, etc) that
people might have added to save hooks.

That's a very good point.  But it's also true that it's reasonable for
users to be able to set such features globally rather than having to do
it for each and every major mode that they happen to use to edit
normal files.

There are some related concepts where we also take such special
precautions, such as ignoring coding cookies in tar files.
We should probably try to come up with some more general approach to
solve all these centrally.
E.g. define some notion of "normal file", so copyright-update can be
used in "all normal files" and coding cookies would be ignored in
non-normal files.

Sadly, it's all too common for copyright headers to appear in places
that confuse copyright.el; e.g., patch files that update the copyright
(it sees the "from" branch first, so...)!

I presume this sort of very specific workaround wouldn't have been added
to nnfolder unless people had hit

copyright.el, at least, at least _asks_ before doing something, and
rarely actually takes action (because it has fairly narrow criteria for
when an update is needed), so it tends to be just annoying rather than
dangerous (whitespace munging without prompting is downright evil
though).

I agree that there should be a "better" way to do this, but unless there
is, people will continue to do whatever gets the best results on
average; there are annoyances _either_ way.

If there's a convenient way to distinguish "text files" from "other
stuff like mail archives / tar files / ...", then packages like
copyright.el could check that, and ignore any non-text-files...

Yes, that should work, I think?  If we're not let-binding the variable,
but only making it buffer-local, then loading copyright.el "in" this
form won't leave us with an unbound copyright-update variable.  I think?

Yes.

This is just to put it on record that I have experienced very frequent 
crashes with this build.  Sometimes it happened spontaneously while I 
wasn't doing anything with the Emacs session at all.  (But, there are a 
few timer tasks that go on when I use VM.  It could be due to them.)

Unfortunately I don't yet know how to get core dumps on Windows.  I 
would appreciate tips on how to obtain a core dump.

There are only about six changes between .93 and .94 that are likely to
create crashed where none previously existed.  If the crashes are
frequent enough, I suggest reverting each of these to see what makes a
difference.

Are you using the binaries, or building Emacs from source?  If the
latter, try individually reverting each of these in turn:

  100470
  100466
  100459
  100458
  100444
  100441

I can mail you the patches if you don't have access to bzr.  Running
Emacs in gdb and getting the backtrace, as Eli suggested, would also be
helpful.

I doubt that any of these could be the reason, given the fact that
Emacs crashes even when Uday does nothing at all.  That is usually a
symptom of a crash in GC, and none of the revisions above seems to
have some relation to GC, unless I'm missing something.

Of course, it can never do any harm to try to take out these changes,
and see if the problem persists.

I am using Sean Sieger's binaries.  I never built Emacs on Win32.

I tried to find the revisions on Savannah.  But the link 

   http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/lh/emacs

So, I am pulling the branch now, and will check the revisions once the
download completes.

I have had several hours of stable operation today.  I am trying
narrow things down.

Is there anything that prevents naming the uploaded binaries after the
bzr rev number/id?

Just the .zip file? Or the 24.0.50 folder contained in it? 

I agree that we should identify the weekly trunk snapshot Sean builds
with a bzr revision id. However, this should be an automated process
executed when running `make dist' and not some manual (error-prone)
renaming.

Once I finish the Python cleanup I am working on right now, I want to
try to extend the `make dist' rule to incorporate this.

The sole purpose of this would be to tie the weekly Windows snapshot to
a revision in bzr for troubleshooting. Since the bzr revision is not
unique across branches it is not very useful for general Emacs builds
unless one can be sure the source of the build is the trunk. 

I will think more about this, maybe there is a solution that works for
all builds on all systems.

Actually, it's "-gdwarf-2 -g3", and that's automatic unless explicitly
disabled at configure time.

Uday, you want to run nt/configure.bat with the --no-opt switch, then
the build will be unoptimized.

Thanks, Eli.  I am not yet sure how this works.  If I run
  configure.bat --no-opt
in cmd shell, it says 'cp' is not a recognized command (even though
c:\mingw\bin is on the path).

If I run 
  cmd /c configure.bat --no-opt
in msys shell, then it just enters a cmd subshell without apparently
doing anything.

If I do this without the --no-opt switch, then msys goes through
configure wihout a problem and the whole build goes through.

I suppose you want me to redo this with the --no-opt switch?  How do I
get around the difficulty of 'cp'?  I suppose something else needs to
go on the path?

Is there a cp.exe in c:\mingw\bin ?

If not, you will need to find some port of cp (and also rm and mv).
You can find a port of GNU Coreutils on the GnuWin32 site.

I don't recommend using MSYS, it has too many tricky issues wrt
building Emacs.

Re: Emacs 23.2.94 pretest

[Uday S Reddy]

The 23.2.94 pretest worked stably this evening.  I am thinking that
the reason for the crashes earlier might have been that I was running
several versions of emacs simultaneously and there could have been
some background interference between them, especially with the
emacs-server.

So, for the time being, things look ok.

Uday

You can't, not with the native Windows build, anyway.

One way of reporting more info would be to run Emacs under GDB.  You
can download a Windows port of GDB from the MinGW site.  Then, when
Emacs crashes, you can walk the call stack and show us what you see.

Another way is to install DrMinGW, a JIT debugger that will allow you
to produce a backtrace when Emacs crashes.  You can find the
instructions here:

   http://code.google.com/p/jrfonseca/wiki/DrMingw

Given that the precompiled binaries were built with optimizations, I
expect difficulties in interpreting the backtraces and anything GDB
will report, so the useful next step (after you find out what can be
found with these binaries) would be to try running an unoptimized
build.

FWIW, I have yet to see even a single crash in Emacs 23.2.94, but then
I don't use VM.

I configure with `--no-opt', you weren't expecting me to? or,
optimizations are made regardless?

/usr/local/include

is empty, /usr/local/ looks like

BTW

have an stdio.h at

/usr/include

here, not at /usr/local/include

with Suse 10.2

Same with Suse 10.3

Of course -- most systems (all?) put it there.  But nothing specifies a

/usr/local/include before it looked in /usr/include.

configure: error: The following required libraries were not found:
      libgif/libungif
Maybe some development libraries/packages are missing?
If you don't want to link with them give
      --with-gif=no
as options to configure


;;;;;;;;;;

Is this an issue still?

Suse 10.2 tells giflib is installed for that:


giflib - Eine Bibliothek zur Arbeit mit GIF-Bildern

This Library allows manipulatng GIF Image files. Since the LZW patents 
have expired, giflib can be used instead of libungif again.


Thanks

Re: Emacs 23.2.94 pretest

Hi,

emacs -q starts on Suse 10.2 saying

This is GNU Emacs 23.2.94.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.18.6)
  of 2011-02-25

Thanks all BTW

However

make -k bootstrap

finished with

make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/MY-NAME/emacs-23.2.94/leim'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/MY-NAME/emacs-23.2.94'
make: *** [bootstrap] Fehler 2

Compilation exited abnormally with code 2 at Fri Feb 25 12:23:01

Anyone interested to read the rather large compile-messages?

Andreas
